The New State Constitution Judici
ally Upheld.

The supreme Court yesterday deci-
crt Sproule VS.. II. A. Freder:cks from
Warren county. This case presented
the two much mooicd questions OF the
nsnrpAtion Of powers by the recent
State Constitutional Convention The
opinion OF the court is positive and
emphatic. that the convention possess.
es sovereign power neither subject to
the restriction of the act of re.admis-
sion, nor neccssitated to submit its ac-
ton for popular ratification. While
there was little il any doubt OF this de-
cision, both points raised having been
passed upon by committee composed
of its ablest lawyers in the convention,
ii is of sufficient moment to demand
It's publication which is gwen below :
The validity Of the Constitution OF
1890 is called in question by appellee.
In support OF this invalidity OF the
Constitution two propositions are as.
serted:
|. A Constitutional Convention has
power only to prepare and frame the
body of Constitution, and that when
prepared or framed, the instrument is
OF no force or effect until ratified by a
popular vote of the people; and the
Constitution of 1890 having never
been submitted to or ratified by the
people is invalid, and
2. The changes made by the Consti.
tuition in the basis of suffrage are VIC.
lativc OF an act of Congress readmit-
ting the State of Mississippi into the
Union in the year 1870, and my alidates
that instrument.
With confidence we reject both pro.
positions as unsound. Tho court holds
that the constitutional convention was
q sovereign body with power 10 frame
n new constitution and put it into Of.
feet without referring it to the people,
as the legislature which called it into
existence did not seek 10 impose on
its will BY providing that the instru.
ment should be submitted to the PEG.
pie. 1t yields the power of sovereign.
ty, and the only restriction nlaced up.
on its power is that the spirit of repub.
licanism should breath through its
work. There is little ground for the
second branch of the contention.
The regulation of the right of suf.
frage belongs TO the State, and the OH,
ly Limitation thereon to be found il
the Constitution OF tho United States
or the latest amendments thereto, will
be found in the prohibition of discriln
ination against persons on account O
race or color. 1t ia all idle consump
ton of time to talk of this as at al
doubtful. The<6upremo Court of thu
United States has more than once af
firmed 1t.
Despite the act Of Congress referred
to when the State was readmitted Il
her place in the Federal Union, sh,
was restored to all her rights, digui
tics aud powers. She was admitted o.
the equal of any other State, with tn,
same power to regulate the right o
suffrage in her borders as enjoyed b,
other States. But the contention is s,
manifcstly untenable, and has been 6,
effectually disposed of by the utter
ances Of the Supreme Court of th,
United States. that VIC decline 10 81,
more. The case was reverse and re-
manded. Opinion by Justice Woods

Northern capitalists are evidently

tributtd to this. First, the last census
