the several courts of the United States, and
the several Justices and judges Of such courts,
within their respective jurisdiction, in addi-
ton to the authority already conferred by

beas corpus IN all cases where any person
may be restrained of his liberty, in viola

for such persons so restrained Of bis liberty,

S. L. COEVILLE,

JOHN LELLYETT,

Their reasons for 50 doing summed up in
brief, are:
lst Neither the Legislature nor a conven-
ton has the power to disfranehise any per
son qualified to vote under section 1, article
f. of the Constitution of the State.
I'd The Legislature cannot enfranchise
the negro, because he is prohibited from Vo-
ting By said section /, article 4, and his pO-
litical status has not been changed by the
amended constitution of Feb. ., 1865.
3D. That the attempt to enfranchise him
by this bill, OF By any other act of the Leg
islature, is not within the power of the Leg
islature, and all such acts are simple NULL
ties and void
4eh That the bill itself Is "a most unjust
and arbitrary Discrimination against the
native white man and white persons of for.
elgn birth IN the State5 and in favor of the
negro. ~.

calculated to produce strife between the
