THE MILITARY BILL.


EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
Occupying the high standpoint you do in
the greatest city in the South, it is natural
the whole loyal South should turn to you
and your paper for solution of the many
new, intricate, and doubtful questions,
now vitality affecting the whole people. Al.
ready your paper has silenced the three
rebel guns in this city on the subject of the
duty of registrars, as affected by the attor-
ney generals opinion.
The political attitude of the rebel States
has no parallel in history. " The military
bill" is an anomaly, but is unquestionably
justifable, and in truth is the mildest, the
most lenient, and the most benignant
remedy ever great nation administered on
rebellious people, whose smothered hos
tility is too palpable to be blinked. Yet
mild as this military bill is, and lenient as
the same is, to the verge Of permitting
Liberty to pluck justice by the nose,n still
it has been eXecrated and denounced by the
opposition press of this city as the uncOnsti.
tutional bastard offspring of a rump Con-
ress.h
A clear analysis of that law shows that it
is too lenient, and Ia reality was compro-
preamble first asserts a fact notorious to all
people, that No legal state governments,
or adequate protection for life or property,
now exist in the rebel states.n Such being
the case, it became and was the duty of
Congress to speedily apply an ample rem
edy.
Let us see if they have done so.
First section declares "that said rebel
State shall be divided into military districts
and made subject to the military authority
of the United states.n To stop there, would
| give unlimited military power over all mat
tiers. But the law does not stop there. On
the contrary, 1t defines the district COM
mander's duties very considerably.
| Sec. 3. "It shall be the duty of each
officer assigned as aforesaid to protect ali
persons in their rights of person and prop
| eTty.n
Secondly. ''ro suppress Instructions, dis
| orders, and violence"
| Thirdly. "To punish or cause to be pun.
ished all dlsturbers of the public peace and
criminals This sweeps in many things.
But wait little.

all this work SO rigorously pointed out

SANITARY CONDITION OF THE
CITY.

HEADQUARTERs FIFTH MILITARY DISTRICT,
New ORLEANS, La, June 3, 1867
Special Orders No, 50
Extract
6. Many complaints having been made by
every class of society in this city. of the
danger anticipated from yellow fever and
cholera on account of the uncleanly con-
dition of the streets,
The major general commanding in COM
pany with the medical director of this mill
tary district made thorough inspection OF
the streets on the Goth ultimo, with the fol-
lowing results:
The main streets of the city were found in
q fair condition of cleanliness, but the back
streets-thc thickly settled portion of the
city-were found with an atmosphere
poisonous and appalling from neglect on
part of the street commissioner to perform
his duty, and efforts having been made
heretofore by communications from these
headquarters to the city officials to remedy
this evil without avail, the present street
commissioner, A. Belanger, is hereby re-
moved from office and Mr.. William Baker
appointed in his place.
His honor the mayor is hereby directed to
compel the people to keep their yards and
premises in Il cleanly condition by the en-
forcement of the city ordinance through the
instrumentality of the public.
By command of Major General P. II.

oFFICE---No. 81 sT.eGHARLEs STREET.

Does he have the full sweep of the whole
circle of his discretion? Very far from it. He
has prescribed orbit fixed and dimly seen.
Section three declares that he may allow
local civil tribunals to have jurisdiction and
try offenses. Not word about ordinary
actions or suits at law. Again the law says,
" when in his Judgment it may be necessary
tor the trial of offenders he shall have power
to organize military commissions or tribu-
mails for that purpose" For what purpose
are military commissions to be organized
Answer-to try offenders; not to attend to
civil suits at law. When to be organized!
At the discretion ofthe officer. The whole gist
of authority limited to offenses and offend
ers. This, of course, includes offenses to
rights of property as well as to rights of per-
son; against rights of property, as in theft,
arson, robbery, trcspass, etc. Not collection
of debts.
Section. 3, last clause, declares there
shall be no interference under color of State
authority" which implies that for civil pur-
poses the de .facto State governments may
continue many of their functions under
straint, so that the wheels of the entire civil
machinery need not be brought to a stand
still.
Whether all three of the coordinate
branches of the government, legislative, ex-
ecutive, and judicial, can continue their
functions de Jdcto, springs new and delicate
questions, especially as to the legislative
branch.
One thing is clear, these States lingering
in quasi war attitude are now subject to
the military authority of the United States,
which authority in turn is subject. in this
behalf, 70 the paramount authority of Con
gress. This latter cuts off much paramount
military authority supposed to exist in'the
hands of the district military commander,
and we thus see he must look to Congress
and laws thereof for authority and guild
ance in this matter of rebel State restora
tion, and not look to the president or Gen
eral Grant. The president can appoint
perhaps remove and reappoint. But VT
take 1t he cannot instruct, for the law no
where says so, and his duties also are de
| fined by law. This latter position is Capa
| BILE of a demonstration akin to mathematics
| precision, and yet doubtless it will astouu(
the entire opposition. We admit the presi
| dent and General Grant may counsel, ad
wise, and suggest.
For future analysis we reserve the deli
| cate legal questions: How far district com
manders are limited by law; what is the
orbit of their discretion; when they ma,
| legally remove civil officers; whether AM
when they can remove State governors
when remove judicial or ministerial o.
| fcers; when suspend or annul a judicial dc
cision or civil writ; and what, if any c
those things they can do, unless to preven L
interference under color of State autho +
ty," in which case no diversity of opinio
can exist. POLLOCK.

GENERAL GRANT AND THE Presidency
The Lowell (Msss.) Courier says that the
Washington correspondent Of the Ciucin-
natl Commercial, in giving an account of
movements alleged to be in progress respect

as the result of an effort to sound General
Grant by an adverse party. 1t seems to US
to be quite /" an original invention"
General Grant, after a minutes delibera-
ton, said that he really did not feel desir,
GUS of becoming president OF the Unlt,d

himself; and yet he felt that If the people
called upon him To become "a candidate Tor

One FOoneyhough, charged with horse

not yet been sentenced. If the civil author
