Robert =. walker ON the Law.

We print below, and desire to call to
the especial attention of the Gazette, an
extract from the opinion of the Hon.
Robert j. Walker upon the Presidents
right to decide upon the constitutionality
of laws passed by Congress. Mr.. Walker
is Democrat, and stands high in the
confidence of the President. He is learn
cd in the law, and this is the way in which
he disposes of the question:
II called,n says Mr.. Walker, "upon
Gen. Thomas early on Saturday morning,
at the War Office, and communicated to
him In u friendly way my opinion that
any such order would be nullity, and
would subject him to serious consequent
cur. 1 told him that he had no right,
nor had the President, to disobey q taU OF
Congress upon the assumption that IL tOds
unconstitutional, and that If this tOere not
so The President might set aside all the
idWs of Congress since the foundation OF
the Government upon the ground that
they were unconstitutional. That the
President possessed 10 such power, be-
cause it was not an executive, but erctu.
sively q judicial p0Wer, and that all the
Laws of Congress must be obeyed and ere
cuted by the President unless their execu'
ton was restrained by the highest judi.
cial authority. That to declare q td,0 un.
constitutional was not only the exercise
Of judicial power, but the highest jldicia
poiOcr, and only to be resorted to by the
courts where, in their judgement, the
act was clearly unconstitutional, and tha
in all doubtful cases the court had uni
formly refused to interfere with the exc
cution of the law"

WASHINGTON, August 3, 1867.
To Major Gen. Pope. | think your
views sound, both In the construction
which you give to the laws of Congress
and the duties of the supporters OF a good
Government, to see that when Recon
structiOn ~ effected, no lOophole Is left
open to give trouble and embarrassment
thereafter. 1t is certainly the duty of
District Commanders TO study what the
trainers of the Reconstruction laws want
ed to express, as much AZ what they do
express, and to execute the laws accord
Ing to that Interpretation. This believe
they have generally done, and 30 far have
the approval of all who approve the Con
gressi0nal plan of Reconstruction.
[SignedJ u. s. GRANT.
On the 23d Of December last, Gen. Grant
telegraphed General Pope as follows:
The Constitutions adopted by the Con-
venti0ns now In session are not the laws
Of the States until submitted to the peo-
pie, and ratified by them. 1 do not see
therefore. how you can enforce the laws
enacted by them. until so ratified.
General Grant, January 10th, tele-
graphed General Meade, approving the
latter's course in removing the State
Treasurer of Georgia for not obeying the
orders of the Constitutional Convention
also the following
would not tinterfere with the elections
ordered by the Atlanta Convention, un.
less very satisfactory reasons exist foi
doing so. As District Commander, you
will be perfectly justifiable in adopting
as your own order the stay laws proposed
In the Constitutions TO be submitted tC
the people of Alabama and Georgia.
