I non proceed to giro my op nlon on tho remaining questions upon vrblch Ibo military command era require Instructions. s Find, aa to tho powern and dullen of these commandera, wilie original Act recites lu lui preamble that "no legal Slate governments or adequate protection for lifo or propcrl> exist" in thoao leu States, and that "lt is neces? sary that p.-aeo and good t 1er should bo enforced" In those states "until loysl and lu- publican Stato govern? ments csu bo legally established.

My attention, therefore. In directed lu Ibo power.? and duties ul tho militar, commander uudcr the original Act. Wo seo clearly enough that thin Act contemplates two distinct governments lu each of those t n Staten-lim ono military, the other civil. Tho civil government In recognized an existing al tho dolo ol tho Act The no ? tary government In created by Ibo AcL Both aro provt I ional, sud both are ta continus until tbs now State Cou stilutiou in framed omi Ibo Stiln 1B admitted lo rcpre I cul dion lu Congre- s. Win ll that event takes place, bulb tbenc provisional governments are to cease. lu contemplation of this Act, thia military authority aud thbi civil authority aro to bo carried on together. Tho people Iii these States arc modo subject tn botb, and must .-hey holli, in their respocUvo Jurisdlcltans. Those In. then, un Imperativo necessity to dehne, ss clearly as possible, thc line which separate s the two Ju? risdictions, and tho oxact sco|>o of tho authority ol coen. Now as to tho civil authority, recognized by tho Act an tho provisional civil government, lt covered every de? partment of civil Jurisdiction lu each of Hmso Stales. Il liad all tho characteristics and powers of a Stato Govern? ment, legislative, judicol and executive, and wa? In thu ?ul! and lawful exercise of all thcao powers, except only that it was not entitled to representation aa n State ol tho Union, 'l ids existing government ts not set saide; ll ls recognized mare tbau ouco by Ilia Act It ls nut In sn y onu uf lin departments, or, sn to .my one of Hs in nc lions, repealed or modlltod by this Aol, BSVOODIJ In tbs quail ?ca?ons of voters, tho quallOcaUaua of persons eligible to office, the manner of holding elections, aud tho uioda of framing Uio CousUtuUon of tho Stato. Tho Act does not, lu sny oilier respect, cbsngothc provisional govern? ment, nor docs tho Act authorize Uio military authority to chango IL The power ol further changing lt ls ra. served, not granted, and it la reserved to Congress, not dclogatcd tu Hie military command er. Congress waa uot e. i tin il ed with thc organic law or Con stltuUuu ii ii der which this ii vii government wss eelah? Uah cd. T bal ('.institution waa lo la - cha uged In only omi particular tn make it accoptablo te Congress, and that waa lu the matter of tbs electivo franchise. Thc pur? pose. Uio solo object of Uils Act, IB to effect Dist chango, aud lootfoct it by tho agency of Uio people of the Slate, > or i auch of i hem aa ant mode ve tr TM, by maana of elec? tions provided for In tho Act,-sod In tho meauUnio to preserve order sud punish oflcudo-s, if found necessary, by military commissions. We aro, therefore, not st a los? to know what powers weto possessed by tho existing civil authority. Tboonly quei,Uan la upoil the power? conferred on tho military authority. Whatever power ls not gtveu to tho military remains with Uio civil government. We soc, first of all, that each of these States is "made subject to tho military authority of thc United states" uot lo tho military authority altogether, but with thia express llinltaUon, "aa hereinafter prescribed." Wo must, then, examino what la thcreloaltcr provided, to find the extent and nature of Ibo power g rum id. This, then, ls what IB granted to tho military com? mander : Tho power or duty "to protect all persons In their rights of person and properly, to suppress Insur? rection, disorder and violence, and to punish, or cause to bo punished, all dinturbers of the pubUc peace and crimi? nals, and be may du this hy the agency uf tho criminal courts ul th? State, or If necessary, ha may have resort to militari lill,ami).-. Thia comprises all the powcis given to tho military commander. Hero ls a general clause making lt the duty of the military commander te give prolccUon to all persons In Hu lr rights of person and property. Considered by Itself, sud without r?f?ren?a to tho context and' to other provisions of tbs Act, ills liable, tram Its generality, to bo misunderstood. What Bort of protection Is hera meant? What viola? tions of tba rights of persons ar of property sro hero Iiiten.led ? In what manner ls this protecUon to bo given 1 Thcao qucsUoua arise at once. It appears Uia some of Uio military commanders havo understood Ulis grant .of power ss oH-comprehensive, e.inferring On them the power to remove tho OXOCUUVO sud Judicial officers of tho Stale, and to appoint other officers In their places, to lurpcnd the legislative power of tho Slats, to take under their control, by officers sp, pointed by thernselviss, the coUecllon and disbursement of the revenues of - the State, to prohibit the -locution of Uio laws of the suite tty the agency of its appointed mu? ccra and agenta, to chango the existing laws lu matters affecting purdy civil and private rights, to suspend or enjoin thu execution of Ibo Judgment, ad decrees of Ibo established Stato Courts, to interfere In tho ordiuory ad? ministration of Justice In tho State Courts, by proscribing no v qualifications for Jurors, sud to change, upon Ibo gr .und ot expediency, tho existing rela?ous ol tho par? Uos to contracts, giving protecUon lo ono party by viola? ting the rights' of tho other party. ' I fed confident that these milltiry officers, In aU they have done, havo supposed that thoy bad lull warrant for their action. Their education and training have not heirn or Uio kind to flt thom for Uio delicate and difficult task of giving construction to such a statu to as that now under co naldera lion. They require Instruction, and nearly all of thom hsvo asked for InstruoUon, to selva their own doubts, and to furnish to them a sala ground for tho performance of their duties. Thero eau bo no doubt aa to tho rulo of couslruoUon according to which wa must interpret thia grant of pow? er. It ll a grant of power le military authority over civil rights and citizens. In Hmo of pesco. It ls a now Juris? diction, nover granted before, by which, in certain par? ticulars aud for certain purposes, Ibo established princi? ple that tho military abai! bo subordinate to the civil au? thority, Ia reversed. Tho rule of construction to bo sp piled to such s grant cl pow. r Ul UT Us stated In DvarrU on Statutes, pago 632: "A statute creeling a nsw Jurisdic? tion ought to bo construed strictly." 11 uided by this rule, sud tn tho light of other rules of co ti struct lon familiar to every lawyer, especially of tb oso wi i leb teach US Uikt, in giving con?lr ti dion to ningle clauses, ws most look to tho context and, to tho whola .law, that general clauses are to bs controlled by particu? lar clauses, sud UAH such construction ls to be put on a apodal clause aa to make lt harmonize with the oilier Burts of tho, statute, so ss to avoid repugnancy, I proceed i the construction of Ulla part of tho Act, To consider, then, In Uio first placo, the terms of tho grant. It ls of a power to protect all persona In Hu ir rig its of person and property. It la not a power lo croate now rights, but only lo protect those which exist and aro ostabuahed by tho laws under which thoao peo? ple Uve. It is a power to preserve, not to abroa a to te BUBlSlU tho e listing (ramo of social order and civil rill-, and Dot a powur to in trod u co miUtxry rulo in Its pince. In effect, lt ls s police power, sod tho protection, bera In? tended, ls protecUon of persons ana property agalbal violence, unlawlul force, and criminal infraction. It la given lo most the contingency recited ID tho preamble, of e ?vant of "adequate protection for lifo and property;" and Uio necessity also recited, "that peace and good order should bo enforced." This cocctruaUon is mods more apparent whoo ws look st tho Immediate context, and seo ID what mode, and by what agency. Hus prolocUou ls to bs secured. Thia duty, or power of protection ls to be performed by tho suppression of Insurrection, 'disorder and violence, sod by Uio punishment, cither by Uia agoi cy of tho State Courts, or by military oommLiilonc-re, when neces? sary, of sll disturbers of tho public peace and erl i.lnala; and lt ls declared that all Interference, under color of State authority, with tho exercises of this military au* tl i ority, sbsll bo null sad void. The noxt succeeding clsuso pr?vidos for a speedy trial of the offender, forbids tho Infilc lion of cm ol and unusu? al pnnlshiiiont, sud requires that oenteneos of these military courts, which Involve Itu liberty or Ufo of Uio : accused, sbsll havo tho approval of commanding general, and, aa lo a nenien ce of death, the approval of tbs Presi? dent, before oiocuUon. ? AU Ibcno special provisions have reference to tho pr?? servation of order, and protecUon against violence and crime. Thoy touch no other department or function of tho civil admlulatraUoD. save only ita criminal Jurisdic? tion, and even as to that, tho dear moaning of thin Actis, (hat lt ls not to bo Interfered with by the military au 'thorny, odeas when s necessity for such Interference may happen to ariao. I Sec no authority, nor any shadow of au thor! ly, for In* terfcrence with soy otb or courts or sny o her jurisdic? tion, than e ri ml i. al couria in tbs oxer dee of criminal Jun ladlcUou. Tho oxlstlng civil authority io aU ita oUior de parimenls, legislativo, oxoculive sod Judicial, ls left un? touched. Thom ls DO provision, sven under tho piss of necessity, lo oatabUah, by military authority, courts or tribunals for tho trial of civil cases, or for the protecUon of such civil rights of person or property ss como within tho cognlzaueo ofdvll courte aa txmtradlnlingulibed from criminal courts. In point of tact, th oro waa no fo tin da? llon for auch a grant of power, for tho Cl ?ll nights Act, and the .Freedman's Bureau Act, neither of which ls BU po raed ed by this Ad, made ample -provision for tho pro? tection of 111 morely civil rlghta where the laws or courts of those States might faU to give foll, Imparti il protec? tion, I find no authority any whore In thia Ac. tor Hie remo? val by tho mill uu y commander of the proper officer? of a State, either execuUve or Judicial, or the appointment of persons to tholr places. Nothing short Of. an express groot of power would justify the removal or tho appoint? ment ot such an officer. There ls no such grant exuieas? ed or eran implied. On the contrary, Uia - Act clearly enough forbids lt, Tho regular blahs offioUls, daly elud? ed and qualified, are ouUUed to hdd their offices. They, too, bare rights, which tho military commander ls bound to protect, net suUiorixed to destroy. Wo And In Uio concluding clauses of the sixth setjllon br the Act tut th eeo officials ara rocogulxed, and ri pre ss provision li mado to perpet?ate thom. It Is cn? ch d that .TU all doctiom to toy office under such provisional gov crnuiools, all persons slitll bo entitled (o voto, nod nono | o?icrs, wlio nra entitled to vote under Hie provisions of " Hie fifth section of this Act; sud' no pcrsou shall bo ell glblo lonny omeo under such provisional governments, a who would bo disqualified from holdingofllcc uudcr tho ? protialona of Ibis Act." 'l'Ida provieiou not only rccogiilr.es all tbu ofllcrrs of Ibo Provlalonal I overamente, but, lu raso of vacancies, vary clearly iKilnts out hon Hey aro lo bc Ulled ?.and that happcua lo bo hi Hie usual way, by tho people, mid not by any other agency or any other power, ell her Malo or fedoral. civil or military. I find lt Impossible, under thc pmvislone of this Act, to comprehend such su olllclst as a Uovuruor of unu ol lliesc Matea nppoiulcd to ollleo by ono of theso military commandcrs. Certainly lin ls not tho Uovcrnor rocoi; nlr.cd liy the liws ot tba Slate, otcrtrd by tho people of Ibu state, and clothed ns ruell with the chief executive Miren Nor ia bo ar i>el ii led aa n Military (P. vernor fora State which lisa no lawiut Uovcrnor, under tho prc -Mire ol an existing necessity, tn oxcrciac pow? rn at largo. Tho Intention, no doubt. w?a lo apuouit lom lo fill a vacancy occa Inned by a military order, and to pul him in tho placo of ibo removed I io vernor, to exocufo tho functions ut Hie ofllco an provided by law. Tho law takes no cog lUxauco of auch au olllcini, and ho la clothed with no au? thority or color of authority. What lil true of Uic (Inventor ls equally Imo na io all the other legislative, executive and judicial unicorn of tho Hinte. If tho military commander cm nuat onu from hin muco, ho ran oust lion all. If bo can 1111 ono vacan? cy ho ran fill all vacancies, and tb IIB usurp all civil Jurie diction Into lils own bauds, or tho hands of thoao who hold 11 cir appointments from him and subject lo bis pawer or removal, and thus fnu trato Ibo vol y right se? cured to tho people hy thin Act. Certainly Ibis Arl is rigorous enough in the power which lt givra. With all Hs severity. Hin right of elvcHiig their own ofBcars ls sllll left willi Ibu people, and lt inna! bu preserved. I must uot bo understood as fixing limits to tho power nf Hie militar}" emu mander In nu o of an actual Insurrcc Uon or riot, lt mav huppen that an InsurrccUou lu one ol tinao Hintes mae bo nu general and formidable aa to require Ibo temporary sui-iienslon of sll civil govern nient and Ibo establishment of martial law lu its place. And thc Bamo Hiing maybe trite as to Io al disorder or riot in rofe rc ncc to tho civil government of Ho elly or place where it breaks out. Whatever power ls ncccasary to meei auch emor?om-lea Hie military commander may properly i leroi-o. 1 continu myself lo the proper anlhort ty of tho military commander whore poaoe and order prevail. Avium penc o and ordar do prevail, lt la not a' 11 ??at do to displace tho civil ofUcers and appoint others in their places under any Idea Hist Ibo military com? mander can better perform hie dulles omi carry out tho general purposes of tho Act by tho agency of civil oHi . ru uf Ins own choice, rather Hum by tho lawful incum? bents. The Act pl ves bim no right to resort to such agency, Lut does givo him tho right to have "a nillir ?en t military forcn" to enable bim "lo perform lils dalles and e: lor, o hui authority wiilun tim district to which bc is aaslgned." , In tho suppression nf Inatirrcclloii and riot, tba mili? tan commander ls wholly Independent ot thc civil au? thority. So, loo, lu tho trial amt punishment of crimi? nals and offenders, tio may supersede Hie civil jurisdiction. His innrer ta to bu exercised in these i-li.---l.il emcrginetci', mid the meatis aro nut into Ida lian ?a by which lt is lo bu exercised, that ls to say, "a sulflcleut military force to cnablo such oftlror to perform bia dulles and enforce his uutliortly, and military tribu? nals nf bia own apj.ointment lo try und punish oH'cuilcrs. Thevo aro strictly military powers, to ho executed liv military authority, not by Ibo civil autlioiUv or by civil elli, em appointed by him to perform ordin?r}- civil dulles. if thean emergencies do not happen, If civil order ls preserved, and criminals aro dilly prosecuted by Ibu regular Criminal Courts, tho militar}' liowor, though pres elit, mual remain passive.

When that la el-mo, and the civil authority may again safely resumo Ha functions, Ibo military power becomes again passive, but on guard and watchful. Tilla, In my Judgment, ls Uic whole scope of tho mili? tary pe.ver conferred by Ulla Act. and In arrtviug at thia construction of tho Act I have not found lt necessary to resort to Ihc strict cnnabracUon which brallowablo. What boa beau sahl indicalea my opinion as to nny mpp. sed power of thc militar}-commander to change or modi fy the laws lu force. Tho military commander In modo a conservator of Ibo peaco, not a legislator. Um duties uro u nit,ry dulles, executive dattes, not legisla Uva duties. He has no niitborltv lo enact or declare a nuw coda nf laws for ti.o i>cople within lila district under any Mea that bo caa unke a bettor code than thu people have mid.' tor thotneclvci. Tho public policy la nut committed to Ida discrt-Uon. Hu- Congress which passed lida Act undertook lu certain grave particulars to cliangc tl u se laws, and thean changes ticing made, tho < 'ongress saw no further necessity of change, but were content lc h ive all the other lawa in full force, but subject to Ihli empnaUo declaration, thal ai to thean laws and auch fu turo changea as might bo exp?die-.!. Ibo question of ex? pediency and tho tiowcr to altar, auicud or abolish, ?i> ron rved for "tba paramount authority of thc United Mates at any timo to abolish, modify, control, or supr aedc thc saine." Where, then, .lora s military coron-aiidci lind Ats authority "to abolish, modify, control, or aUpor s ile" any ono ol tin .- - Iawa? The enumeration of tho extraordinary ruawersoxr-re?ci by tho military commanders In somu of thc districts ir on 1.1 oxtend this oj.Inion lo an unreasonable length. A few Instances must suffice. Ill ono of theso d?stricts, tho governor of a st.do lue been doposcd under a threat ol military force, and sooth cr person, callo 1 a governor, has been appointed by Un military commandnr to nil lila place. Thus prcecnllm, Ute i trance up.-, tarlo of an ofucial entrusted with th chief power to execute thc laws of thc dato, whose au thorin la not recognized by the laws ho ia callod upon ti oxcculc. in the samo district the Judge af ooo of tho crimina courts of Ibo State bas been summarily dealt with. Tit Act of Congress docs give authority to tho military com ni ami er, lu casca of necessity, to transfer tho Jnrladiclioi ef a criminal court to a military tribunal, That Ison tho specific authority over tho criminal couria given b tho Act, no other nu thor! ly ovor them can bo la wiall exercised by Uie miUtiry commander. Hui, lu Ulla li: stance, Ibu judge lias, by military order, been cjocte from his oilioo. and a private citizen I as beon upi - .Int e J ir lue in Ids placo, by military authority, and is now 1 Ibo oxcrclBO nf erl mimi JunadlcUoii "over all criiiici misdemeanors, and offences" committed within tba let rltorial Juridiction of tho court. Thin military appointe la certainly not authorized to try any one for any offrnc aa a member of a military tribunal, and bc bas Just s Ultto authority to try and pnntshany offender aaa Joilg of a criminal court of tho Stat?. It happens that thia private cl tir tn, thus placed on Ul bench, la to alt as tho BOIO- Judge In o criminal cour whoso Jurisdiction extends to cases. Involving tho Uio < thu accused.

This la thc inevitable result, for tho ouly trihi nal, Uro only judgea, U thoy can I? callod Judges, wide a military commander can consulate and appoint u: du thia - Act, to Inflict tho death penalty, ia a militai court composed of a board, and called In Uio Act I' unlltary commission."

Aa Um representativo of thia military autburlt thia Act forbids Interference "under color of Bia authority" with tho curclso of bia fun? ilona. In another one of theso districts a military order cor manda Uio Governor of the State to forbid tho ro-aaSoi bUng of Uio Legislature, and Ilms suspends Uio prop legislativo power of the state.
