1T was of this act that this court
said in Eckloff VS.. United States, 1876
U. S., 240:
".The court below (supreme Court
Of the District) placed its decision on
what we conceive to be the true
significance on the act of 1878. AS
said BY that court, it is to be regarded
as an organic act, intended to dispose
Of the whole question of a government
for this District. 1t is. as it were, a
constitution for the District. 1t is
declared by it's title to be an act to
provide "a permanent form of gov
ernndent for the District The word
permanent is suggestive. 1t implies
that prior systems had been temper
airy and provisional. AS permanent it

made to fit into the provisions of the
prior legislation, but is single COM
piete act. the outcome of previous eX-
periments, and the final judgment of
Congress as to the system of govern
ment which should obtain. 1t is the
constitution OF the District, and it's
grants of power are to be taken as

pressing in themselves both their eX-
, tent and limitations. Such was the
view taken by the court below; and
such we believe is the true view to be
taken of the statute
And it was of this act that the
controller of the Treasury held that
as to the payment Of the interest on

created a contract not only between
the United States and the bondholders
but between the United States and the
people of the District of Columbia.
