THE SUGGESTION A GOOD ONE.

The Dispatch pooh-poohs the suggestion
Of a correspondent of the Atlanta Con-
stitutiOn that the State of Georgia char
ter a local bank of issue and back the
! bank in making a test case the State
pledging itself TO pay the ten per cent
tax on the currency issued in the event
Of an unfavorable decision. The Dispatch
thinks that as the Supreme Court Of the
| United States has once decided that the
| act is constitutional, that should end the
matter
We do not take the same view.
We have high authority for the opinion
that no question is ever settled until
it is settled right Decisions by tribu-
nails of competent authority must be re-
spected and obeyed while they remain
in force. but there is nothing in the law,
either human or divine, which forbids men
to argue and reason to prove that de-
cision once made has been wrongly made.
and that it should be reviewed and re-
versed. SO far are human and divine IN
stituuons from forbidding this that they
both implicitly command it.
The decision was a war decision, up
holding a war measure. considered at the
time IT was adopted indispensable to a
successful prosecution of the war. Even
then ii was made by a divided court, two
of its most distinguished members pro-
testing against it most earnestly.
The doctrine of the decision is directly
opposed to the spirit and theory Of our
Government, and no constitutional law
yer who has the slightest regard for his
reputation as n constitutional lawyer
Will attempt TO defend it as
being consistent with the Constitution.
Any such lawyer when asked the ground
upon which the act can be defended
points to the war decision of the Su-
preme Court as authority for it, and
tests his defence at that point.
1t would be very simple and easv
matter to get the question again before
the Supreme Court in the way suggested |
by the correspondent Of the Atlanta Con- |
We have had some experience !
in such matters, and If the State of |
Georgia would back the movement 10 |
make sure that it would be undertaken |
there is no doubt the question could be |
pending on the docket of the Supreme |
Court when it meets in October. so that |
1t could be decided Immediately after the |
court meets again. We feel sure its |
treatment now would be very different in
that tribunal from what it received when
the passions of war ruled there as well
as everywhere else in the North. 1t is TO
be recollected that there are now four
Democrats in the Supreme Court, which
consists of nine judges, and 1t is fair TO
presume that there is certainly one Re
publican or sense amongst the other five
iudgeS.

SOUTHERN CONGREssMEN ALLFROm
THE COUNTRY.

The New York Sun calls attention 10
the fact that the cities and towns in the
South are practically unrepresented in
both the Senate and the House of Rep
resentatives. II says:
Atlanta. Ca. with a population Of 5000,
Is without a member of the House Of
Representatives. Nashville, Tenn, with a
population of 5000. is witho II a mem
Der of the House of Representatives. 50
Is Wilmington, Del: so is Dallas, Texas,
with a population of $4,000; so is Coving-
ton. Ky. with $1,000; SO Is Norfolk. Va.
with 5000; so is Austin Texas with 1900;
birmingham, Ala, with 26,OW; Whining
on n. c., with 10000; Raleigh. n. c.. the
capital city. with 1900, and Paducah.

The Southern representatives,, coming
chiefly from the small country towns.
represent agrarian interests chiefly, and do
so In the majority of cases to the nee-
leot of the business interests Of the large
cities Nor is the case much different i'm
the Senate. Mobile has no representation
in the upper House, one of the Alaharna
senators coming from Selma and the other
from Eufala. The big city OF Baltimore
has no representative i'm the United States

The following which we take from the
Baltimore sun New York letter, is eA-
tremely interesting and rather startling:
"A proposition has been submitted TO
the constitutional convention which Is
somewhat startling in its boldness. IL Is
