REPUBLICAN DOCTRINES PLAGUEING
THEIR AUTHORS.

The Supreme Court Of Georgia has r.
Gently decided, as part Of the constitution
al law Of that State, that negroes are eligible
10 office. Because some people in Geo's',
declared the contrary doctrine Bullock "no
other Radical emissaries sought to have 'he
State Of Georgia remandod to territorial
condition. The question arose. however IN
manner which leaves untouched the qoes'
,iop whether negroes may sit in the Iegisa'
ture. a right which has been denied BY the
Legislature Of Georgia The inhmation is
thrown out that while the Courts may and
will enforce the RICH! Of q negro to the Of
fee Of sheriff to which he has been duly
elected, they have no jurisdiction over his
eligibility TO seat in the Legislature on the
ground that every legislative body il the eI'
elusive Judge Of the qualifications aud eli
gibili,y Of its own members. This applica.
ton o. Republicans doctrine, asserted and
practced in the most arbitrary manner in
Congress, is causing much affected viz.
tuous Indignation among the leaders Of that |
party. II was a good doctrine for Congress |
to exclude southern representatives upon,
but it Is an outrageous theory FOR Georgia
10 adopt in order to rid itself Of negro mem.
bership in its legislature. The wonderful /
fuiuess and eKactness with which this doc.
ir.ne Of legislative bodies being the sole
judges Of the qualifications Of their own
members, has come home to plague the Re.
publican party is shown by the following
comments on the Georgia case by the Chi
cago Journal
II this be allowed, then the people canuo;
choose their own representatives. If, for
instance, the Thirty ninth Congress had

standing No one will say that Congress
would have that rtgbt-yct the principle ia
precisely the same.
Just so Democrats argued when Con.
Crr's was turning away the representatives.
their constituents had chosen and sent to
Congress without any cause and for no
other reason than that Congress had the
right to determine who should hold a seat
40 that body. But few, # any, who then
read the protests against this outrageous
proceeding, considered it within the scope Of
possibility, that the very arguments made
by Democrats and derided by Republicans,
would so soon be Reproduced by the auth
o'- Of the mischief complained Of, as rea.
sons why their opponents should not prac.
tee their own doctrines.
