MY DEAR SIR-YouIs Of the 2lst INST, requesting q
me TO give my opinion upon the effect OF the decis
ion lately made by the supreme Court OF Georgia
upon the status Of the expelled negro members Of
the present Legislature Is received.
have no idea that my opinion will have, or In
deed ought to have any weight in ''moudng pubic
opnon;' but as you desire IT, and only because you
desire It, l win give II. / can see no reason why
this decision should have an effect different
om om aI,Gcs other t decisions. The decision OF
made, and Of course becomes O precedent for the
decision OF other cases IN which the same question
arises But whoever heard that the decision Of any
one case decided every case involving the same
questions. There NUT be q separate decision In
every case as II comes up. The case decided by the
although negro, may hold the Office OF clerk. 1t
can have no other eject beyond the retaining OF
decision OF other cases they ARISE involving the
same question. But tho decision will have TO be
made In every case. Il cannot possibly have the
effect 10 put In or out OF Office others who are stran
gers 10 the Judgment Is II not O well settled prn-
cple that Judgment binds only the parties TO II 2
where white persons have been installed into oilce

cept by proceedings regularly instituted for the pur.
The same suppose, Is true OF the negroes who
were elected to the Legislature. The decision In
the case OIL White cannot put them IN or the white
men out, and for the simple reason they were not
parties to that act.
And now comes the question, can the negroes
elected to the Legislature make case before the i-
dclal tribunals OF the State2 have no difficulty In
saying they cannot There is but one tribunal with
jurisdiction to decide this question, and from the de-
cisons OF that tribunal theres no appeal II IL final
and conclusive there being other tribunal before
which the decision can be reviewed or reversed.
That tribunal IS the Legislature Itself. "Each House
