tbs URited States and the State OF Georgia
was sanctioned by the Constitution of the Uni
ted States; by the third section of the fourth
article Of which It is declared, that, new States
may be admitted by the Congress into this I'm
ion; but no new Stateshall be formed or erected
within the jurisdiction of any. other State, nor
any State be formed by the junction of two or
more States or parts of States, without the con-

yesterday, that, because the United States hold
the right Of eminent domain in the public lands
during the territorial form Of government, they
are therefore invested with universal legislative
power. The court declared that, although the
right Of eminent domain is sovereign power

thority. Again '- srst ...-''.

she succeeded 10 al the rights Of Sovereignty,
jurisdiction, and eminent domain, which Geor.
gia possessed at the date of the cession, except
so far as this right was Diminished by the pub

the control ofithe United States, fof the tempo!
rary purposes provided for in the deed Of cesE
sion and the legislative acts connected with it,
Nothing rema6ned to the United States accor
ding to tie terms Of the agreement, but the pub
lie lands; and Il an EXPRESS stipulation had been
inserted in the agreement granting the munich
pal right of sovereignty and eminent domain to
the United States, such stipulation would have
been void and imperative because the United
States have no unconstitutional capacity to exer-
else municipal jurisdiction, sovereignty, or eini-
nent domain, within the limits of a State or
elsewhere, except in the cases in whichit is ex-,
pressly granted" ',...
