T EST-0 A T II H UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
In tlio Supremo Court of tlio United
States at Washington, on Monday,
14th, Associate. Justice Field Raid ho
Lad been instructed to deliver the
opinion of tlio court in tlio caso of
Johu A. Cummins, plaintiff in error,
against the State of Missouri, involv
ing tlio Constitutionality of the test
oath in that State.
Tlio plaintiff wan a Roman Catholic
priest, und convicted by tlio courlH lor
advising anu preaching without itrst
Laving taken the required oath, and
sentenced to jiay a fino of Sii'Jll, and
committed to jail until puid. An ap
peal from the Circuit Court to the Su
preme Court of the Stale aflirnicd the
judgment.
Tho following is a mere outlino of
the opinion : Tho oalh by tuo Consti
tution of that Stute imposes more
than thirty distinct aflirmatioiiB and
tents. Some of them constitute of
fenses of the highest grade, to which
tho heaviest penalties are attached.
Some of them aro not recognized by
statute, while others are not blamo
worthy. The- require him not only
to swear that he was not in hostility
to tho United States, but thut ho nov
er manifested udhcrenco to tho cause
of tho enemy, or desired triumph over
, the armies ol tho Uuitcd States, or
tint ho over expressed sympathy lor
the rebels, or ever sought to promote
the ends of thoso engaged in tho war
against the United Slates authorities,
or ever left the Stalo to escapo en
rollment or the performance of milita
ry duty, or ever expressed bis dissat
isfaction with tho government.
Every person unable to take this
oath was declared incapable of hold
ing any olliee of trust, honor or emol
ument, or of acting as a trustee, or
manager of any corporation, now or
hereafter to bo established, or from
teaching in any educational institu
tion, or holding real cstato for such
religious society or congregation, ic,
and every person holding any such
office at tbo time the Constitution
went into effect was required within
sixty days to take tho outh ; in default
of taking the oath his oflico became
vacant. No attorney at the bar,
priest or preacher of any doctrine was
permitted to solemnize marriage with
out taking the oath.
Falsi) swearing is made punishable
by imprisonment in tho ponitentfury.
1'his oath is without precedent in this
country, which tho court could dis
cover. It is first retroactive, nnd if
taken years hence it would cover the
intorvoning period. In other coun
tries test outliB wcro limited to the
present, and were not administered in
particular instances of past miscon
duct. Secondly, the oath is not only
directed against individuals who op
posed tho acts of the government, but
denounces their desires and sympa
thies. It makes no distinction be
tween acts arising from malignity
und acts springing from afiV'tion. If
any ono ever expressed sympathy for
the rebellion even if he wero connect
ed by the closest ties of blood, ho is
declared unable to subscribe to the
oath, and is dehurrcd from tho em
ployment specified.
the court admitted tho proposition
of tho learned counsel of Missouri,
that the Sluto possessed all tho attri
butes of sovereignty, and uniting the
rights reserved to tho Stales was the
power to determino the qualifications
lor oflico and tbo conditions on which
citizens may exercise their callings
and pursuits within ils jurisdiction,
but it by no meuns follows that the
State can inflict punishment for acts
w hich wero not punishable w hen com
mitted. It was evident from tho v.i
ture of pursuits and professions of the
parties placed under disability by the
Constitution of Missouri, thut their
acts had no possible relation to their
fitness for their pursuits and profes
sions. There was no connection be
tween tho allegation that Cummin's
left that Sluto to avoid tho draft, and
tlio administration of the sncrnmonts
of bis church ; nor can a fact of that
kind, or words of sympathy for thoso
in rebellion, show the unfitness of
lawyers, or professors, or teachers, or
their want of ability in acting ns man
agers or trustees of corporations. It
was manifest on the principal state
ment of their nets that there was no
such relation. The oath could not be
Applied as to whether the parlies were
qualified or not. The outh was in
tended to reach persons not their
callings; not because their acts HiiGt
toil them for their calling, but because
it was thought their acts was deserv
ing of punishment and in no way but
by depriving I hem of citir.onship. The
court did not agree that less than the
deprivation of life, liberty and proper
ty was not punishment at nil. A die
qualification from holding oflice us an
impeachment may be n punishment,
also tliu preventing" attorneys prac
ticing in tho federal courts. J!y tho

YOI,38--WHQLE.NQ2Q03. CLEARFIELD. PA., THURSDAY, JAN. 21, 1807. NEWSERIRS-Y0L7.N0.27.
Among tho Romans tho
loss of liberty was a disability of all
tho privileges of member of tho fam
ily or citizenship. In Franco, depri
vation of civil rights and legislation
for otllco, or of being guardian or
trustee, or being employed in schools
orscminai iesof learning. Tho thoory
on which our institutions rest is that
"ull men havo certain inalienable
rights, among them life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness." Thus, all
places ol honor and position aro opon
to every one, nnd ull are protected
equally under tho law, and depriva
tiou of right for past conduct is a
punishment, and cannot otherwise bo
defined.
The court theu proceeded to tho
consideration of tho Constitutianul
question. Tho Constitution contains
what may bo doomed a bill of rights
for each State. It says : "No Htalo
shall pass a bill of attainder or cx post
facto law." A bill of attainder is u
legislative act which involves punish
ment without trial. If less than
death, it is a bill of pains and penal
ties. They Bssumo the guilt of the
parties without the safeguard of triul,
and it fixes the degree of punishment
in occordauco with its own ideas of
the offense
Justice Story wivs bills of this kind
were mostly pussed in England during
the rebellion? Such bills arc generally
dirocted against individuals by name.
By the Eighth llonry it was declared
that url ivildure and his abettors
and confederates or adherents should
stand and bo attained und convicted
of high treason us though every one
of them wore properly named as on-
gaged in the litct. So the decloration
in Charles the Second that Earl Curo-
lan should sutler exile.
If the third article of the Constitu
tion of Missouri had stated in terms
that Cummins was guilty of being in
armed hostility to tho United Slates,
or had said he left tho State to avoid
being drafted, and that he was, there
fore, deprived of his right to preach
or teach in the institutions of the land,
there is no qucstiou that this would be
a bill of attainder in view of tho Con
stitution. If tho clause, instead of
mentioning his nume, hud declared ull
persons subject to like deprivations,
tho cluuso woulirbe equully opon to
objection; and if it bad declared thut
ull such persons would bo held guilty
provided thut by u day specified
they did not do certain acts that would
bo within the Constitutional inhibi
tion. In nil these cases it would be
legislative judgment without tho form
of security of the citizen established
by our tribunals.
Tho question presented was one of
form and not of substance. The ex
isting clause presumes tho jiurties
guilty from which the- cannot re
claim themselves without an cxpurgu
tory oath. It is certain the legal ro
sult is that what cannot bo done di
rectly cannot be done indirectly ; the
Constitution deals with substance, not
with shadow. It aims at things, not
name. Chief Justice Marshall says
an ex post facto law imposes, punish
ment for an net not punishable at the
time it was committed, or imposes
penalties additional to those there pro
scribed oi, diuVrcnttostimony. Thatch
er against Peek made it un uct of pun
ishment for what was not punishable
at the timo tho net was committed.
Tho act to which Judgo Marshall
makes rcferonco was pussed by the
Legislature of Georgia, repeuling a
previous act by which land had been
gruntod. It wus decided the repeal
ing act had tho ctlect of an ,r post
facto law. Tho clause of the Missou
ri Constitution did not in turms define
any crime or declare punishment in
flicted, but presumed the same result
ns if tho erimo had been defined und
tbo punishment prescribed. It aimed
ut some persons who, directly or in
diroctly, Lad uided the rebellion oi
escaped proper responsibility of citi
zens in lime of wur, or was intended
to deprivo certain persons of offices of
trust and emolument. Such depriva
tion is punishment ; nor is it a way
which is opened by on oxpiirgutorv
outh. Now somo of these were not
offenses when tho nets wero commit
ted. It was not then an offense to
avoid the enrollment or tbo (draft,
howmuehsoevor it might be a mutter
of censure. Sonic of the acts at which
the Constitution wus directed wore
offenses at tho timo, but the clause
w hich proscribes further penalties is
wit hin the nature of un ex pant facta
law.
Tho clause in question subverts the
presumption of innocenco, and per
verts tho rules of ovidenco, which by
tho common law aro fundamental. It
presumes the parties to be guilty, and
dcilurcs that innocenco cun only bo
shown in one way, and that by ex
purgation. Rut tltis cluuso in the
form of a legislative act and it would
read : He it enacted, etc., that all per
sons in armed hostility to the United
States shall, on conviction, not only
ho punished as tho luw provided st
the timo of tho offense, but also ren
dered incapable of holding offices of
trust, honor or eniolumont, or exercise
the oflico of a teacbor or priost, etc.
No one could doubt that this third
article, if thus rendered, would bo cx
post facto, Lecauso it would bo adding
a new punishment for au old offense
not punishable at the time of tho en
actment; it would impose penalties
without tbo form of judicial proceed
ing. The Coustiluiiou of Missouri
impose an outh which it was impossi
ble for all to take ; it wm an impossi
ble condition.
The Coustitution of tho United
State cannot be evaded in the form
by which tho power of the State is
oxertod; if this can be accomplished
bv indirect means, the Constitutional
inhibition may bo evaded at plessnre.i
Take the case of a man tried fortre-!i
soh, and if convicted, pardoned; nev
ertheless tuo JiCgitlatnro might pro
scribe that unless bo took an oath
that he novcr did tho act charirod. ho
should nover hold oflico of honor or
profit. Sapposo tho minority should
get tho control of tho Stato govern
ment, nothing could prevent them
from requiring that every porson, as a
condition to holding oflice of honor,
profit or trust, should tuko an outh
that ho never advocated, advised or
supported tho imposition of tho pres
ent expurgation.
Undor this provision tho most fla
grant violations of justice may be
committed and individuals deprived
of their civil rights. A question rose
in Now York in 1782 upon a statute of
tho Stute which involved an cxpurga
tory oath as a means of punishment.
The subject was regarded so imgiort
ant as to ongngo the attention of emi
nent lawyers and distinguished states
men of the timo. Alexander Hamil
ton demonstrated that it was in viola
tion of the Constitution, whichsecurod
the rights ond liberties of the people
as the result of the revolution. It was
a wis) axiom that every man is be
lieved to he innocent until lie is proved
guilty. The reversing of this was to
hold out a briho to perjury. It de
prived tho citizen of the advuntitgo of
leaving the burden of proof on bis
prosecutor. Let us not forget thut
the triul by jury should romuin invio
late forever, etc,
The same view was embrucod by
tho judiciary on unulogous questions.
I he court suid, in conclusion, thut the
judgment of the Supremo Court of the
State of Missouri must be reversed,
with directions to enter judgment to
reverse tho judgment of tho Circuit
Court of Riko county, und ulso with
directions to said Circuit Court to
enter an ordordischarging tho defend
ant from imprisonment and permit
ting him to go w ithout duluy.
Associate Justico Field then soid ho
was ulso instructed to deliver the
opinion of the court in the mutter of
the petition cx parte of A. II. Garland.
On tho UOt li of July, l0l', Congress
pussed an act proscribing tlio form of
un outh to be taken by officers elected
under the Constitution of tho United
States, with the exception of the Pres
ident. On tho 24th of July, ltWi),
Congress passed a supplementary net
embracing uttorneys unci counsellors.
It provides thai no person shall be
admitted to the bur of tho Supremo
Court of the United Stales or ut any
lime after the 4lh of March noxt, bo
admitted to tho bar of any Circuit
or District Court of the United States,
or the Court of Claims ns un attor
ney or counsellor, or be allowed to up
pear by virtue of any previous admis
sion to nny special powers of attor
ney, unless ho first takes and sub
scribes to tho oath proscribed in the
act to prcseriho an outh ol olliee, op
proved July 2, 1802, which said oath,
so taken und suhcribed, shall be lire-
served among tbo lilos of such court,
and that nny person who shall falsely
take said oath shall be guilty of per
jury, and on conviction shall bo liable
to the pains and penalties of perjury
and the additional puius and penalties
prescribed in said act.
At the December torm in lOO, the
petitioner wus udmillcd as an attor
ney of this court, uixl subscribed to
the oath required. Ry tho rule tho
attorney, as a condition of being ad
mitted to tho bar, must havo practic
ed in tho highest court of tho Stute
in which he lives, und his public und
private character must bo fiiir. In
101 the Stute of Arkansas, of which
Mr. Curiam! was a citizen, attached
itself to tho so-called Confederate
States.
Tho petitioner followed tho for
tunes of that State, and was ono of
the rcprcsentiitivesin the lower llouso,
and was in tho Senate of the Con-
federacy at tho time ol the surrender
of the Confeilerulo forces. In ,1 ul y, aiithori.inj' a special luvestigntiiip We never heard or read of a frtw
lKlifi, he received full pnrtlon of all of- j Commitloc to inquiro into the fticls. poverniuent that was not all a com
tenses coiiunilteil by him, and he now Itui Connecticut, us well as Ohio, is1 promise Jio one man or set of men
produces his pardon ano asks pcrmis- exemplifying the same "humanity," j have their own way in a povcrmnciit
sion to continue practice as un altor the same superior civili.ntion, and tliei unless it is a nmnurcby or an urist oc
ney without taking the oath, which
ho is u n tt 1 1 Ic to tuko by reason of the
oflico he once heltl in the Confeiloralc
government.
lie says the act of July, H(i,r, isun
constittilionul and void, but if legal,
that be is relieved by the pardon of
the I'residont. Tho court proceeded
to examine the character of tho oath
in question, saying, ns It cannot he
taken by ull attorneys, it operates as
a perpetual declaration of exclusion
from one of I ho professions nnd advo
cations of life, and therefore must he
regarded as a punishment for nn of
fense which may not havo been pun
ishable at tho timo the offense was
committed, and is thus brought into
the character of nn rx port facto law,
as in tho Missouri case just decided.
The oflice of attorney or counsellor
is not like an oflico created by Con
gress, and which mil- be burdened by
conditions. 'Attorneys are not ofllcors
of tbo United States"; they ore officers
of the court, and arc nd mil tod ns such
by the court on tho ground of their
legal learning and good private char
acter. The admission to tho bur is a
sufficient endorsement.
From the imo of entering upon
the practice they become ollieors of
the court and bold oflico during good
behavior, and can ho deprived of it
only by the court, thoir admission and
exclusion is a mere ministerial power.
The court is not the register of the
edicts of any other power. A coun
sellor, however, does not bold his of
fice as a matter of grace and favor.
To appear for suitors is something
more than is rcvokablo by a court or
Legislature. He can only be deprived
of his office for misconduct or profes
sional delinquency.
lheqnestion is, whether tonprcss
can fix qualifications as a tuenns of;
punishmcm. It cannot be indiroctly
dono by a Stato, and tho reason by
which that conclusion is reached ap
plies similarly to Contrress. These
views aro further Btrengthenod by tho
portion oi the lTCsiuent. J ho Consti
tution provides that he shall have
power to grant rcpriovo and pardons
for offenses against the United States,
except in cases of impeachment. This
extends to every other oftonso known
to tho law.
This powor of tho Rresidont is not
subject to tho negative control of Con
gress, which cannot limit its effect.
Tho benign prerogative of mercy can
not be t.ii 4y lj,itttin Hula
tion. A pardon rendu byth the
punishment prescribed and thoofl'end-
er. It blots out tho "consoqiicwes of
tho offense, and in tho cyo of tin luw
tlio offender stands as guiltless as if
ho had not committed the'ofl'enso If
a pardon is granted before conviction,
the subject of it is made a new man.
Tho pardon produced by tbo peti
tioner is u full pardon, and subject to
cor tain conditions, which have been
complied with. Tho effect of the
pardon is to relieve him of ull disabil
ity and from tho consequences of his
offenses during tho rebellion. Ho is
placed beyond the reach of punish
ment, and to exclude him from bis
profession is not embraced in tho
pardon.
It follows from these views that tbo
prayer of tho petitioner must be grant
ed. Tho prayer of 11. II. Marr is also
grunted, nnd the amendment of the
second rule adopted unadvisedly by
this court, January 4, 18(i;', which re
quires tho oath to bo taken by attor
neys nnd counsellors, must be rescind
ed, und it is so ordered. The majori
ty of tho Court are Associates Wuyno,
Nelson, Gricr, Clifford and Field.
Tho minority, Chase, Swayno, Dnvis
anu Jlillor dissented, going it stiong
on loyalty ond test oaths, hitching up
Church and State together, in the
face of Constitulionul prohibition.

Tho litcts mentioned below may help

From llit ZanoavllIf (Ohi) Courier.
"A man mimed Duvid Monro and
bis wife, residents of New Lexington,
Ferry- county, Ohio, wero arrested
thero on Wednesday lust, charged
wilh tho murdorofa little bound girl,
aged nine 3-enrs, y whipping her in
such u brutal manner us to cause her
death in u few hours thereafter. It

her in un unmerciful manner, tin
Thursday evening last they again bout
her most brutally. Some 0110 outside
of tho house counted twenty strokes
of tho stick, nnd they wcro finally
made to desist by some of tho neigh

morning tho child wus found dead,
lying in bed ; tho body wus slill warm.
A post mortem examination revealed
the fact thai the back of tbo child was

MIMory Hfpralt Itntif.
That political cobbler, BenWudo, is
not very complimentary to the nut es
men of tho past in this country. He
is against compromises. The com
promises of 182U, 1H33 and the com
promises of 18;( were wrong. The
slavo power ought to have been crush
ed then ; as it lias been now.
Thero is ono striking difference be
tween the statesmen of the past end
the prcsont. The former established
a Government in poaco and maintain
ed it in peace. Life, liberty and prop
erty of every citizen were left secure.
Tho Federal Government had tho
-fcoarty co-operation ot all the mate
in supporting its authority. The Gov
ernment was cheap and the poople
prosperous.
The world has been governed too
much. Our experience under the pol
icy of tho past illustrated tho truth of
this maxim. We neverfclt the Feder
