been Successful, demands this obedience.
Most truly yours. C;c.:
JOHN BRANNON.
The Supreme Court Of the United
States, say in Thorripg;on vs.. Smith:
"But there is another description Of
government, called also BY publlcists
government Gc fircto, but which might,
perhaps, DO mo-e aptly denomiuatGd =
government of paramount fierce. It's dis
tiaguishing characteristics are: /. That
its existence IS u:ain:ained'by active mill
.ar7 powers within thc territories and
ssainst the rightfpl authority ofan estab-
lishcd and lawful government; and :.
That while it exists, it must necessarily
be obeycd in civil matters by private cit
liens. who. by acts of obedience, render
cd in submission to such rorce, do not BE-
conc espOnsiUe q, rroaSdoers for these
ccis, though not 'carranted by the lsTS Of
tie righyd sorernme'H."
The Chief Justice hero cited the case
Of Castine, Maine. when in the hands Of
the British in 1914, and that of Tampico,
which was held temporarily by the United
States forces dnring the war with Next
CO, as examples of this kind Of de facto
government, and then continued
These were cases Of temporary pos
session of territory by lawful and regular
governments at war with the country Of
which the territory so possessed was part.
The central government established for
tic insu:gent states differed from the tenn
porary governments at Castine and Tam
picoin the circumstance that its authority
d;d not originate in lawful acts Of regular
war: but it was not on that,accornt less
actual CT less supreme, and rrc think 1t
anus! Je ekrsse,l Gnoay The governments Of
rhich these are examples. 1t is to be OBJ
served that the rights and obligations Of a
belligercnt were conceded to.it in its mill
tary character very soon after the war
began, from motives Of humanity and cx-
pcc;cUcy, by tic United States. The
whole territory controlled by it was there
after held to be the enemies territory.
and the inhabitants of that territory were
held. in most respects, for enemies. To
the extent, then, Of actual supremacy,
however unlawfnly gained, in all matters
of government within its military lines,
the power Of he iusurgcnt government
cannot be questioned

LIGHT BREAKING FROM THE

It is one Of the wholesome aud cheer
ing sisus Of the times, and sure augury
that reason has resumed the place of mad
se's, when we find now the highest ju-
dicial tribunal in the United States,

coming the errors Of passion IL an effort
to arrive at truth.
We published last week the decision Of
the Supreme Court of ;hc United States
tn the case Of Th0rringteu Us. Smith and
Hartley, pronounced by Chief Justice
Chase, on the 2ud inst. The preston of
bolf .eren; rights has been much discuss
cd siacc the war, and has excited a great
deal Of interest. In 1866, Mr.. John
Brannon, Of this place, being called upon
for an opinion tourbips this suffice, by a
distant client, gavo it III writing, aud it
was then published in the New York
Daily Ne1s. This opinion has. by the
decision referred TO, been so we'll sustain
