SATURDAY, JAN UAH Y 12, 18G7. The Inconsistent Attitude. of the 1. ce dent and his Supporters. President Johnbox, at a Democratic banquet on Tuesday night, in Washington, read the following toast: "No State, of its own will. lm a vlirht, under the ConstituHou, to imounoe its pluce in or to withdraw from the Union. Nor bin tli Con cress of tho United btnte a constituti-jntl power to (ieprade the people of nay tate by rrduciner them to the condition of a mere terri torial dependency upon tlie Federal head. The one is a disruption a dissolution of th" Gov ernment; thfi ot'-er Is a consolidation, and an extreme of despotic power. The advocates of the latter are alfto the enemies of the Un'on and of our constitutional torm of Government." This is a subterfuge. The only reduction of States to a condition of ' dependency upon the Federal head" that has been made by any body was made by Tresident Johnson himself, when he overthrew the Southern State Governments at the close of the war, kicked their Governors, Judges, and Legisla tures out of office, and placed their people under, the absolute rule of the military power. The simple question that now remains Is, whether the pretended State Governments which Mr. Johnson has gotten up to fill the places of the old ones that he overthrew, are valid and constitutional? Why do not the President and his friends meet this question fairly and boldly ? Why do they pettifog it and try to lug in false Issues? If the theory that they are now pre tending to act upon be correct, then the rightful State Governments at the South are the ones which Mr. Johnson overthrew at the close of the war, and the present contrivances called State Governments, gotten up by the Tresident and bis agents, are more usurpa tions. The truth is that Mr. Johnson started out on this business of reconstruction upon the radical theory that the rightful State Gov ernments of the Rebel States had been dis solved by the Rebellion, and that those com munities were wLhout any lawful civil gov ernment whatever. In accordance with this theory, ho overthre tv the State Government! that were then in existence in the South State Governments that had come down by regular unbroken succession from the old Governments under which they had severally been admitted to the Union; State Govern ments that bad remained intact and in full and undisputed operation throughout' the whole war; State Governments that were the undoubted choice of the people; State Gov ernments that had ceased all rebellious action, and were ready and anxious to re sumo their old relations with the Union; State Governments, in short, that, according to the conservative theory, were valid and constitutional, and entitled to Federal pro tection. Having thus abolished the Southern State Governments and reduced the Southern com munities to a condition far below that of Ter ritories, a condition of total anarchy, except for the rule of the Trovost Marshal and the military commandant, Mr. Johnson paused And here let us pause, and press home upon Mr. Johnson and his apologists the utter, rreconcilable inconsistency of their present position with Ms action at that time. If their present theory be correct, then the overthrow of these State organizations was the most sweeping; and comprehensive mea sure of usurpation ever attempted in this Government, and Mr. Johnson should be in stantly impeached for it. In his own lan guage, it was "an extreme of despotic power." How monstrously inconsistent for the Presi dent now to hold up his hands In simulated horror over the destruction of State Govern ments! If his own theory be correct, the Governments be has cooked up at the South should be instantly overthrown, and the old, rightful governments be restored. There is not a valid Gove nment in any Southern State. Thay are all the fruit of revolution. Governor Worth and his Legislature, in North Carolina, should retire to private life, and Governor Vance and his Legislature should be restored to their old positions. Governor Orr should vacate in South Caro lina and give place to Pickens; and sa in every Southern State. The States should be restored to the status they had whpn Mr. John son's unconstit atlonal and revolutionary Inter ference began. Was there ever an example of an engineer more thoroughly hoisted by his own petard? But it may be thought that if, acco rding to the conservative theory, Mr. Johnson's Suite Governments are Illegal and revolutionary, then, according to the radical theory, they are valid and rightful. Not at all. The radical theory is that Mr. Johnson did right n overthrowing the old State Govern ments ot the feoutta, because they were no longer Governments In the Union t but were . Rebel Governments hostile to the Union. This was Executive work . n . . , . 1 I 1 k ! as lieaa or me army cubsu ju puunus; down the Rebellion. Dut here Mr. Jonnson's rightful functions ceased. The formation of State Governments to succeed these over thrown Rebel Governments was no part of MS DUSlUCtKf. H W ivj.Jra-.BU, ' requiring rules and regulations, lams, whlca " only Congress could rightfully and legally onact. Everything, therefore, that Mr. Johnson did subsequent to this point was unconstitutional and Invalid. His so-called State Governments are In the eye of the law no Govcrn jionts at all They are mere Executive creations, which are exercising usurped au thority. They must be replaced by some thing which has validity, something which springs not from revolution but from law How vain for the President to pretend to legality or regularity for these creations of bis, wh'ch are the mere- product ,of revolution! Show us any law for the exist ence of the present State Government in North Carolina. It did not grow out of the old State Government of North Carolina by legal and constitutoual succession, lor" under that old Government, Vance is to-day the ! rightful Governor ot the State, and Worth is 1 a usurper. It did not grow out of any law of Congress, for Congresj has nassed no law for the creation of a Slats Government in j North Carolina. It exists, therefore, without law. in defiance of law, and purely ai the fruit of violence and usurpation. Upon either theory, therefore conserva tive or radical the so called State Govern ments created by Executive usurpation in the late Rebel States arc illegal, According to the conservative theory, the old Rebel State Governments are still the rightful and con stitutional Governments of those States; ac cording to the radical theory, there are no valid Governments there, and it is the duty of Congress to provide tor their erection. Some Suggestions to the tfaval Committee. Hon. A. H. Rick, lion. Augustus Cranda?ee, and Hon. W. A. Darling constitute a sub Committee to investigate the security of League Island as a naval station. These gentlemen have commenced their services in our city, and as two at least are known opponents ot the site, it might be well for the cause of Justice that the questions asked of the ofllceis examined should not be all lead ing questions in opposition to the naval depot. From the evidence at our command, we would venture to recommend the following interrogatories, as calculated to thio.v llht on the subject of the burning of the New Ironsides : Were proper, or the usual, precautions against fire observed at League Island? Were there any means ot extinguishing fire? How many watchmen were on duty at the time the fire was discovered ? Weie there any military guards on th? island, or the ships of the fleet ? . Is there one at the naval magazine ? If any are thtre, is the force sufficient ? We understaad that there wre thirty-one ships in ordinary at League Island, valued at about sixteen millions of dollars. The five ships in the Delaware New Ironsides, Dic tator, Atlanta, St. Louis, and Clematis valued at three millions, had only one watch man awake and on duty at the time of the fire. The entire force was regarded by naval authorities as utterly insufficient ; yet an order had been received from Washington to reduce it still further, only two days be lore the fire. When the command had been obeyed, there was left but six watchmen to guard three millions' worth of property. The causes which led to this reduction were not only those of public economy, but the assu rance felt at the department that the location was perfectly secure. The watchmen employed, such as they were, were nothing but civilians, and any dereliction in duty was punishable merely by dismissal. Under such circumstances there can be no surprise that the vessel was de stroyed. What is needed is a heavy inarme guard, who are answerable for thu proper per formance of duty with their lives. Jf such had been detailed at the island, the loss would have been preVented. We a3k the Committee to so far do away with their pre judices as to consider the facts, and by their report show that even partisans can be dis interested, or at least just. Tiial by a Jiny ot Peeis. ! The "Magna Charter" guaranteed a vast accession of liberty to the Anglo Sr.xons, and probably in its day the idea of trying a man charged with crime by a jury of his peers was an improvement over the system of feudal judicatory, where the lords found all guilty in older to Becure their goods by confis cation. But the day when such an idea secured justice to the accused or the accuser is passed. '1 he trial by jury, as seen to-day In any of our couits, is an utter and entire lailure. It is not a trial of a gentleman by his peers. The men who, as a general rule, sit on a Quarter Sessions jury are the peers of no man of intelligence ; and their verdict3 are either influenced by ignorance, or by means unknown to any but them selves. The justice of a case, or the charge ot the judge, nor yet the insti notions of that officer, cannot be considered as the least assurance that the verdict will follow either the dictates of law or reason. We have again and again reiterated thfse views, and within the last few days two cases have occurred to strengthen our conviction that the sy3tem of tiial by jury is far interior to the decision of the case by an impattial judge. The most glaring case lately falling under our notice is that of a Daniel Gunkle. The facts are few. In 1302 Mr. Gunkle came to the Corn Exchange Association, of which he was a member, ana by his conduct ana his sentiments insulted the geutbmen pie sent 'Ihe Association wisely, as Justice Strorg declared in his charge turned Mr. Gunkle out of the bui'ding. In order to avoid the disgrace of an expulsion, the Association adopted a resolution requesting his resignation. Mr. Gunkle refused to resign, but ceased to frequent the rooms. His case was never acted upon. He was never expelled, ne, however, now brings suit against tho Corn Exchange, and laid bis damages at f 10,000. The case was heard in court. It was clearly shown that Mr. Gunklo was not expelled; that his absence from tho room was voluntary; and that whatever loss he might have sustained was clearly Incurred by his thus voluntarily ab senting himself. The Judge stated to the Jury that the plaintiff had en tirely failed to sustain a single point in his case. The jury retired, and, in direct op position to the charge and the testimony j rendered a verdict in Gunkle's favor of $797. With such a case of stupidity, before us, wo cannot but condemn tho trial by our peers, A similar case occurred but three days since. Our readers may have noticed it. A man was detected in the act of receiving stolen paper from two boys. The paper was lound in his possession, and all the evidence conclusively pioved complicity In the theft. The Judge so charged the jury, and the jury, wl'.h its usual wisdom, acquitted the man. The District Attorney ventilated his views on their action, and the Ju igo re fused to discharge the prisoner. Thus within the present week has our own city afforded two instances of tho utter unre liability of jury trials. A reform is needed. Either let ecmiblo and disinterested men only be placed in tho jury-box, cr else let the deci sion ot the case be left to a learned and Im partial judiciary. If we were on trial, we would tar rather let the judjes than the j ury decide the case according to tho teachings of law. '1 he impartiality of jury trials is gone by. A juryman Is not a professional; and and what was first the safeguard of liberty has degenerated into tho ignorant decisions : of men calling themselves "peers" of their su lienors. Governor Mokton was nominated yester day by the Republicen caucus of the Indiana Legislature to succeed Hon. Henry S. Lane in the United States Senate . Governor Mor ton has occupied a very prominent position for many years la Indiana, and by his able and patriotic course during the Rebellion won a national reputation, lie will make a worthy successor of the elo quent Lane.
