Well, it is just as we expected and pre
dicted. While Minx and his gallant army
are pushing the rebels across the Rappahan
nock and the Rapidan, the gallant triumvi
rate of non-combatant copperheads—WOOD
WAßD and LOWRIE, with their associate
TRORPSON—hare been operating a diversion
by a tiro in the rear, and declaring that the
act of Congress which was intended to re
inforce that army is unoonstitionaL Wows-
WARD weal° speak after the election, and
he has spoken. And Lomas, too, has flung
his Parthian arrow back, as he is about to
gather up the reins for his lael — precipitate
flight. from public place and public OW, fol
lowed as he will be by the hoots and hisses
of the people who have dismissed him, and
can now afford to laugh to scorn his impo
;
trot attempt to cripple the army of thirne
tie% and deliver it and us over to the tender
mercies °this Southern masters. And
sox, too,—unpoetio cognomen—compara
tively unknown to fame, but sympathizing
with his fellows and ambitions to shine in the '
same constellation among the bigger lumi
naries—twangs his infant bow, and sends
a puny arrow In the same direction. While
&mesa and READ—the two remaining mem
bers of the Bench—the former a Democrat,
and the latter of the Republican school of
politics—are both dissenting.
This result is in precise accordance with
our protpostications, and we are not sorry
that It -has not disappointed them. Hap- ,
Idly the time has passed when these men !
could help Jars. DAVIS, or injure any body
but themselves by their opinion. In the
now drooping fortunes of the Confederacy,
with their own concealed purposes entirely
foiled by the results of the late elections;
they will only draw upon themselves the
scorn of all good men, and forfeit the little
"teapot which was still paid to them in the
eastern part of' this State. When they
were denounced here for their infamous
,tyranny and entire disregard of all princi
ple and authority in the eases of the rail
road bonds, the complaints of our people
were unheeded beyond the mountains.
There is always, however, an avenger on
the track of a great wrong, and as Provi
dence has made the slave holder himself the
destroyer of his own idol, so the same
'Providence has left it to these men to con
vict themselves in the fullness of time of
their entire unworthiness of the high trusts
which were to foolishly confided to them by
an honest and loyal people.
—We shall of course return to this sub
ject by and by.
The Difference.
While the people of the loyal States are
subseribing to tho Government loan by mil
lions daily," - tho sent of confidence in the rebel
aovertment is so great that the Government
•
o obliged to think of the expedient of forced
loans to enable it to raise the means for keep..
int itself in existence. The despotism in the
South has become so absolute that they talk
now of seising upon the money or property of
the citiserts to carry on the war, as they have
• king since done upon tho citizens to supply the
• • lessee in their armies. The condition of the
-- ••rebel treasury must be desperate, indeed,
when this system of totted loans—practised
Only in emeh countries as Mexico—is consider
:-::;;;;;-eid. the only relief. The expenses of the rebel
Ff! - --/Golternment are yid down at four hundred
millions a year, en a specie basis, or about one
thousand millions on the actual basis of do

The Injunction Again.
The Good News.
The news from the Army of the Potomac
is of the right kind ea length. Just as we
had read the first dispatches which appear
in our telegraphic colUms to-day, a Wash
ington letter, written on Saturday, came to
hand, containing the following paragraph:
"The army of the Potomac, Is at last, again In roc,-
lion. It. route le not definitely known, but It Le,
known that the goal We time sought for le not the
chain, of defence* around Wmkington—bot Rich
mond."
So many assurances of this long looked
for movement had reached us during the
past months, that even our excellent corres
pondent's rove more would have hardly sp.
peared worth adding to the record of pre
vious disappointments, has it stood for a day
unsupported by the subsequent develope
meats which have token place. In com
mon with a large portion of the press and
the public, we have been anxiously looking
fur this movement of the army of the Po
tomac. for some time past, as an essential
part of the action of the campaign, in or
der that nearly all the rebel army in Vir
ginia might not be concentrated on GIANT
or Berassina, while a few companies of guer
rilla cavalry, a show of campfires, or earth
works with quaker gnus frowning terribly
therefrom, might possibly be all the army
and all the obstacles really confronting the
cautions
: and unenterprising Oeneral com
manding the army of the Potomac.
'Whatever may he the resources of the
rebels in Virginia, certainly there is every
reason to rejoice that this movement of
MEADE will now prevent any attempt to
direct' them against our armies in East
Tennessee, and that thus we have the prom
isp of reaping the general harvest of vic
tory, by concentrated action oTer the
whole field of operations.

See Strong.
On the outside of this morning's paper we
publish the Opinion of Chief Jostle° Lowrie,
of the Supreme Court, deciding the Conscriii-
lion Act unconstitutional—a decision con-
eurredin by Judges Woodward and Thomp
son. Below we give the dissenting opinion

mend. Smith re. Lane, Barrett, Wells and
Young. Nicholls re. Lehman,Marsdir, Blur-

In the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in
equity. Motion for an injunction.
STRONG J.—The complainants having been
enrolled and drafted, 'under the provisions of
the set of Congress of March 3d 1883, entitled
"an act for enrolling and calling out the na
tional forces, and for other purposes," have
presented their bills in this smart against the
parsons who constitute the board of enroll
ment, and against the enrolling officers, pray
ing that they may be injoined against pro
ceeding under the act of Congress, with the
requisition, enrollment and draft of citizens of
thecommonwealth, and of persons of foreign
birth, who have declared their intention to
become cilium; under and in pursuance of the
laws, to perform compulsory military duty in
the service of the United States, and particu
larly that the defendants may be enjoined
from all proceedings against the persons of
the complainants, under pretence of executing
the said law oT the United States. The bills
having been filed, motions ire now made for
preliminary injunctions, until final hearing.
These motions have been argned only on the
part of the complainants. We have therefore
before us nothing but the bills and the spe
cial eilidavits of the complainants.
It is to be noticedthat neither the bills, nor
the accompanying affidavits aver that the
complainants are not subject to coirollment:and
draft, into the military service of the United
States, under the act of Congress, if the not be
valid, nor is it asserted that they have
been improperly or fraudulently drawn. It is
not alleged that the defendants have done
anything4ai that they
proposeto do anything
not warranted or required by the words and
spirit of the enactment. The complainants rests
wholly upon the assertion that the act of
Coagress is unconstitutional, and, there
fore, void. It Is denied that there is any
power in the federal government to compel the
military service of a citizen by direet.action
upon him, and it is insisted that Congress can
constitutionally raise armies in no other way
than by voluntary enlistments.
The necessity of vesting in the federal gov
ernment power to raise, support and employ a
military force was plain to the framers of the
Constitution, as well as to the people of the
States by whom it was ratified. This is mani
fested by many provisions of that instrument,
as well as by its general purpose, declared to
be for "common defence.' Indeed such a
power is necessary to preserve the exist
cope of any independent government, and
none has ever existed without It. It was,
therefore, expressly ordained in the eighth ar
ticle, that the Congress of the United States
should have power to "provide for calling
forth the militia to execute the taws of the
union, suppress insurrections, and repel inva
sions." It was also ordained that they should
have power to provide for organizing, arming
and dtseiplining the militia, and for govern •
ing such part of them as may be employed in
the service of the United States, reserving to
the States respectively, the appointment of the
officers and the authority of training the
militia according to the discipline prescribed
by Congress. Nor is this all. It is obvious
that if the grant of power to have a military
force had stopped here, it• would not hare
answered all the purposes for which the Gov
ernment was formed. It was intended to frame
a government that should make a new member
in the family of nations. To this end, within
a limited sphere, eivery attribute of sover
eignty was given. To it was delegated the
absolute and unlimited power of making trea
ties with other nations, a power explicitly de
nied to the States. This unrestricted power
of making treaties involved the possibility of
offensive and defensive alliances. Under such
treaties the new government might be re
quired to send armies beyond the limits of its
territorial jurisdiction. And, in fact, at the
time when the constitution was formed, a
treaty of alliance offensive and defensive was
In existence between the old confederacy and
the Government of France. Yet more. Apart
from the obligations assumed by treaty, it was
well known that there are many cases, where
the rights of a nation, and its citizens, cannot
be protected, or vindicated within Its own
boundaries. But the power conferred upon
Congress over the militia' is insufficient to
enable the fulfillment of the demands of such
trestles, or to protect the right.; of the gov
ernment, or its citizens, in those cues in which
protection must be sought beyond the territo
rial limits of the country. The power to call
the militie.into the service of the Federal
Government is limited by express terms. It
reaches only three cases. The call may be
made "to execute the laws of the Union, to
suppress insurrections, and .to repel inva
sions," and for no other uscC. The militia
cannot be summoned for the invasion of a
country without the limits of the United
States. They cannot be employed, therefore,
to execute treaties of offensive alliance, nor in
any case where military power is needed
abroad, to enforeerights necessarily sought in
foreign lands. This most have been under
stood by the framers of the constitution, and
it was for each reasons, doubtless, that other
powers to raise and maintain a military force
were conferred upon Congress, in addition to
those which were given over the militia. By
the same section of the eighth article of the
constitution, it was ordained, in words of the
largest meaning, that Congress should have
power to "raise and support armies," a power
not to be confounded with that given over
the militia of the country. Unlike
that, it was unrestricted, unless it bo consid
ered a restriction that appropriations of money
to the use of raising and supporting armies
were forbidden for a longer term than two
years. In ono souse this was a practical re
striction. Without appropriations no army
can be maintained, and the limited period for
•whielx appropriations can be made, enables
the people to pass jedgment upon the mainte
nanceond even oilstone° of the army every
two Pars, and In every new Congress. But
in the clause conferring authority to raise
armies, no limitation is imposed other than
this indirect one, either upon the magnitude
of the force which Congress is empowered to
raise, or upon the uses for which it may bo
employed, or upon the mode In which the
army may be raised. If there be any restric
tion upon the mode of exercising ' t he power,
it must be found elsewhere than i n . the clause
of the Constitution that conferred It. And,
if a restricted mode of exercise was intended,
it is remarkable that it was not expressed,
when limitations were so carefully imposed
upon the power given to eallfor the militia,
and, more especially, when, as it appears from
the prohibition of appropriations for the army
for a longer time than two years, the subject
of limiting the power was directly before the
minds of the authors of the Constitution.
This part of the Constitution, like every
other, mast be held to moan what its framers,
and the people who adopted it, intended it
should mean. We are notat liberty to read it
in any other sense. We cannel Insert restric
tions upon powers given in unlimited terms,
•y more than we ran strike ont restrictions
Imposed.
There is sometimes groat confusion of ideas
in the consideration of questions arising un
der the Constitution of the United States,
caused by misapprehension of a well-recog
nized and oft-repeated principle. It Is said,
and truly said, th at the Federal Government
is one of limited powers. It has no other
than inch as are expressly given to It, and
such as (in the language of the Constitution'
itself,)"are necessary and proper for carrying
into execution" the. powers expressly given.
By the tenth article of the amendments it is
ordained that the powers not delegated to the
United States by the Constitution, nor pro
hibited by it to the States, are reserved to the
States respectively, 3r to the people...Of course
there can be no presumption in favor of the
existence of a power sought to be exercised
by Congress. It must bo found in the Constitu
tion. But this principle is misapplied when it
is need, is some times the case, to restrict
the right to exercise a power expressly given.
It is of value when the inquiry is whether a
power has been conferred, but of no avail to
strip apowargiven - in general term", of any of
tie attributes. The power* of Ile Federal Gov.
ernment are limited in number, not in their
nature. A power vested In Congress is as am
ide,- as It would be Ifposseued by any other
legbdatiire; none the reel because held by the
Federal Atssiornment. It is not enlarged or
dlmlnished by the of its possossor.

not, and surely this vrilinot-becontended,why
is not the Federal powef to milsemmies as
large, and as unfettered is the models' which
it may be exercised, as was the powerto raise
armies possessed by the States before 1787,
and possessed by them now, in time of war?
If they were not restricted to voluntaryenliet
manta in procuring a military force, upon
what 7rinciple can Congress be? In Gibbons
vs. Ogden, 9 Wheaton, 196, the Supreme Court
of the United States laid down the principle
thtt all the powers vented by the Constitution
In Congress are complete in themselves, end
may be exercised to their utmost extent, and
that there are no limitations upon them, other
than such as are prescribed In the Constitu
tion.
It is not difficult to ascertain what must
have been intended by the founders of tho
government when they conferred upon Con
gress the power to "raise armies.' At the
time when the Constitution was formed, and
when it was submitted to the people for adop
tion, the mode of raising armies by coercion,
by enrolment, classification end draft, as well
an by voluntary enlistment, was well known,
practised in other countries, and familiar to
the people of the different States. In 1751,
but a short time before the revolutionary
war, a British statute had enacted that
all person. without employment might be
seized end coerced into the military ser
vice of the kingdom. The act may be
' found et length in Ruffbead'e British Statutes 1
at large, vol. 7, page 625. Another act of a '
similar character was passed in 1757, British I
Statutes at large, vol. 8 page 11. Both were
enacted under the administration of William
Pitt, afterwards Lord Chatham, reputed to •
have been one of the steamboat friend' of
English liberties. They were founded upon a
principle always recognized In the Roman
Empire, and asserted by all modern civilized
governments, that every able bodied man ca
pable
of bearing arms, owes personal military
service to the government which protects him. '
Lord Chatham's acts wore harsh and unequal
in their operations, much more so than the
act of Congress [WV assailed. They reached
only a select portion of the able bodied men
in the community, and they opened wide •
door for favoritism and other abuses. For •
these reasons, they must have been the more
prominently before the eyes of the framers of
the federal constitution, when they were pro
viding safeguards to liberty, and cheeks to
arbitrary power. Yet in fall view of such
enactments they conferred open Congress an
unqualified power to raise armies. And, still
more than this, coareioa into military service
by classification and draft from the able-bodied
men of the country was to them a well known
mode of raising armies in the different States
which confederated to carry on the Revolu
tionary war. It was equally well known to
the people who ordained and established the
Constitution, expressly "in order to form a
moredierfeet union, establish justice, ensure
domestic tranquility, provide for the common
defense, and secure the blessings of liberty
for themselves and their posterity." It is an
historical fact that during the later stages of
the wax, the armies of the country were raised
not alone by voluntary enlistment, but also
by coercion, and that the liberties and
independence- sought to be secured by
the Constitution, were gained by soldiers
made such, not by their own voluntary
choice, but by compulsory draft. Chief
Justice Marshall, himself a soldier of the
Revelation, than whom no one was better
acquainted with revolutionary history, in his
life of Washington (vol. 4, page 241) when
describing the mode in which the armies of
the Government were raised, makes the follow
ing statement: "In general the assemblies
(of the States) followed the example of Con
grese,and apportioned on the several counties
within the States the quota to be furnished by
each. Title division of the State was again to
be sub-divided into classes, and each class
was to tarnish a man by contributions or
taxes imposed on itself. In some instances a
draft was to be used in the last resort." This
mode of recruiting the army by draft, in rev
olutionary times, is also mentioned in Ram
sey's Life of Washington, ( vol. 2, page 246,)
where It is said "When voluntary enlistments
fell short of the proposed numbers, the defi
ciencies were, by the laws of the several
States, to be made up by drafts, or lots from
the militia." Thus it is manifest that when
the members of the Convention proposed to
confer upon Congress the power to raise ar
mies'in unqualified terms, and when the peo
ple o f the United States adopted the Constitu
tion, they had in full view compulsory drafts
from the population of the country, es a known
and authorized mode of raising them. The
memory ortbe revolution was then recent. It
was universally known that it had been found
impossible to raise sufficient armies by volun
tary enlistment, and that compulsory draft
had been resorted to. If, then, In construing
the Constitution we are to seek for, and be
guided by the Intentions of its authors, there
is no room for doubt. lied any limitation
upon the mode of raising armies been intend
ed, it must have been expressed. It could
not have been left to be gathered from doubt
ful conjecture. It Is incredible that when
the power was Oren in words of the lar
gest signification, it was meant to restrict
its exercise to a solitary mode—that of vol
untary enlistment, when it was known that
enlistments had been tried and found inef
fective, and that coercion had been found
necessary. The members of the convention
were citizens of the several States, each a
sovereign, and each having power to raise a
militaty erns by draft, a power which more
than one of them had exercised. By the Con
stitution, the authority to raise snob a force
was to be taken from the States partially, and
delegated to the new government about to be
formed. No State was to be allowed to keep
troops in time of peace. The whole power of
raising and supporting armies, except in time
of war, was to be conferred upon Congress.
iS'ecossarily with it was given the means of
carrying it into full effect.
I agree that Congress - is not at liberty to
employ means for tho execution of any powers
delegated to it, that aro prohibited by the
spirit of the Constitution, or that aro Incon
sistent with the reeerved rights of the Staten,
or the inalienable rights of a citizen. The
means used mast be lawful means. But I have
not been shown, end I am unable to perceive
that compslling military service in the armies
of the United States, net by arbitrary con
scription, but, as this act of by
directs,
by enrollment of all the able bodied male criti-
TOM of the United States and persons of
foreign birth who have declared their inten
tion to become citizens, between the ages of
twenty and forty-five, (with some few excep
tions,) and by draft by lot from those enrolled,
infringes upon any reserved rights of the
States, or interferes with any constitutional
right of a private citizen. If personal service
may be compelled '- if it is common duty, this
is certainly the fairest and most equal ;node
of distributing the public burden.
It was urged in the argument that coercion
of personal service in the armies is an invas
ion of the right of civil liberty. The argu.
moot was urged in strange forgetfulness of
what civil liberty is. In every free govern
ment the citizen, or subject, surrenders a por
tion of his absolute rights In order that the
remainder may be promoted and preserved.
There can bo no government at ell, where the
subject retains unrestrained liberty to
act. an ho pleases,
and is under no
obligation to the State. That is un
doubtedly the best government, which im
poses: the fewest restraints, Iloilo it secures
ample protection to all under G. But no gov
ernment has ever existed, none can exist with
out a right to the personal Military services
of all its able bodied mop. The right to civil
liberty in this country never hooluded a . right
to exemption from such service, Before the
Federal L'oestitutioa was formed, the citizens
of" the different States owed it to the govern
ments under which they lived, and it was ca.
acted. The militia systems of the States then
asserted it, and they have continued to assert
it ever since. They assert it now, No one
doubts the power of e Stale to compel its
litia intopersonel service, and no one has ever
1 1 contended that such compulsion Invades any
I right of civil liberty. On the contrary, it
ie
conceded that the right to civil liberty is sub
ject to such power in the State governments,
and the history of the period immediately an
tecedent to the adoption pf 4le Fosiertil Con- •
stitution shows that it was then admitted, Is
civil liberty now a different thing from what
it wan when the Constitution warformod Y It
is better protected by the provisions of the
Constitution, but are the obligations of a citi
zen to the government any less now than they
were then? This cannot be maintained. If
then, coercloa litto Minter, Sery too wasno In
'aeon of the rights of civil liberty enjoyed
by the people of the States, before the Federal
Constitution had any existence, it cannot be
now.
'Again, It is insisted that if the power given

strued to warrant the eellipulslon of oitlrans

obligations to provide for the common defense ;
of the country, and to guarantee to each State
a republican form of government. That would
be. to Impose a duty, and dopy the power to '
perform it.
These are all the objections, deserving of i
notice, that bare been used against the power of '
Congress to compel tho oomplainents into mili
tary service in thearmy. I know of no others of
any importance. They utterly fail to show that .
there is anything in either the latter or the
I spirit of,- the constitution to restrict the I
power to "raise armies," given generally, I
to any particular mode of exercise. For the
reasons given, then, I think the provisions of I
the act of Congress, under which these tom- i
plainants have been enrolled and drafted,' ,
mast he held to be such as it is within the cue- 1
still:atonal power of Congress to enact. it
follows that nothing has been done, or le pro- ;
posed to be done by the defendants. that is
contrary to law, or prejudicial to the right! of
the complainants.
An attempt was made on the 11 , 211t111111L to
maintain that theta Fieldstone of the act of
Congress which allow a drafted man to com
mute
by the payment of 8300 aro in riolation
lof the constitution. But this is outside of the 1
eases before us. By these provisions the cora- I
plainants are not injuriously affected, and the
hills do not eomplain of anything done, or pro
posed to be done under them. It to the ooni- I
'misery service which the plaintiffs resist; I
they do not complain that there is a mode
provided of ridding themselves of It. It it ho
conceded Congress cannot provide for commu
tation of military service, by the payment of a '
stipulated sum of money, or cannot do it In
the way adopted in this enactment, the eon- i
cession in no manner affects the directions
given for compulsion into service. Let It bo :
that the provision for commutation is wine th- I
prized, throe for enrolment and draft are such I
as Congress had power to enact. It is well I
settled that part. of a etattito may he unoonsti- :
tational, and the remainder in force. Ibyno I
means, however, moan to be understood as I
conceding that any part of this ant is uncen- I
stitutlonal. I think it. might easily bo shown 1
that every part o! it is a legitimate exercise of
the power vested in Congress, but I decline
to discuss the question, because it is not raised
by the eases before us.
Nor while holding the opinions expressed,
that no rights of the complainants ere unlaw
fully invaded or threatened, le it necessary to
consider the power or propriety of interfe
rence by this !mum, on motion, to enjoin fed
eral oiliest: against the performance of a duty
imposed upon them in plain tones by an act
of Congress. Upon that subject I express no
opinion. I hare said enough to show that the
complainants aro not entitled to the injunc
tions for which they ask, and I think they
should be denied, .
