At tbe regular stilted term of (be Circuit Court of the United Stales for the District or North Carolina, begun and hold at Raleigh on Uto llrst MoMay in Juno Inet, Chief Justice C'liaae presid ing, among other civil actions which passed to judgment wero two in which parties nuuicd David ntid Daniel liahnwoHcr wero d?fendant? of record, as I am informed. I have no particulars respect ing aahl miitn beyond the caaential fact that, in duo course, alter judgmcot against tbe defendants, tho proper writs of execution wero rognlarlv is sued nnd piacod in the bands of Ibo Marshal, Daniel R. Goodloo. Esq., for tho purpose of having them sorved ngainst the proport of the dofoud aiits. Tho Marshal charged his responsible depu ty, nr. Neff, with that duty, who, beforo execut ing tbo process, was expressiv forbidden so to do, m a writing to that effect, by R. T. Frank, au oftl cer of ilio army, having command of tho United Slates soldiery stationed at the military post nt Wilmington. U|Kin information of the action of tho command nut oC-eud post, tbo marshal, who wan at Raleigh, addressed a respoctfui letter to tho superior olltcor of the fonnor, Major-Uenoral Sickles, in which tho marshal of tho United States for thai judicial dis trict brought to tho knowledge of the commanding oflicor of that reconstruction district Ilio fact that tho procoas the Foderai Courts was obstructed by one of his own subordinato officers. Mnrahnl Ooodloo doca not appear, from this com munication, to have addressed himself to General Sickles in tho manner of u ministerial officer of Jus Ce:; on tho occasion of a riotous or otherwise for midable resist aneo to civil proross, demandine; of nn officer of tho nrnry tho necessary militare sup port, as, it seems, might have boon done with per fect consistency, and with uiuinestionahln obliga tion upon tho officer to respond, whether the of fendere were or were not troops of the Uni ted States under his command; but Mr. Gooilloe appears to havo anticipated with confi dence the prompt interposition of General Sickles for tho vindication of tho law, as tho supreme ob joct or his allegiance. Ho also reported his action to this office, with copies of the noverai papers. Upon receipt of theso a roply wob inado to tbo Marshal, to the affect that no further action would be bad here in tho absenco of information from General .Sickles. It was coulldontlv believed in Ibis ofllce that tbo obstruction would be promptlv removed by command of Gcnurnl Sickles, or that if he thought fit to hesitate in that dutr, ho would not knowingly suffer his authority lo fall into col lision with that the national judiciary without llrst communicating with the seat ol Government. Under dalo of tbo 8th instant, however, sonio ten or el von days after the obstruction of process be gan, tho Marshal reported that ho bad received no responso to Iiis communication to General Sickles referred to, and bad aeon it announced as a fact in the newapapera that the action of Colonel Frank had been formally confirmed by Gonoral Sickles. Hereupon, it was doomed unbecoming for tin branch of tuo public ecrvico to apponr longer in sensible, in any degree, to the paramount dignitv nf the civil authority, and, accordine!}-, such in structinns were commuoicatod to the* Marshal, under date of the 13th imitant, as should comport with tho statutes in forco for the protection of the judicial power of the government. Ho was further instructed that, in tho opinion of this office, tho military authority imparted by tho statutes in forco for tito reconstruction of tbc Southern Stales did not extend in any respect to the Com is ol tbo United States. The eamu had beeu eaid, in nearly the samo words, by tho Chief Justice of tho United States, on the solemn occasion of his opening the court, whoso authority is thus coutenuicd. Under date of tho 20th instant, a report was received from Marshal Goodloo, iuwhicn hocuclosod copy of tbe following communication, addrosaod to hi's deputy : Headq'B'j Po*p of Wilmikuton, N.

Uy this lime it ia presumed that tho proper Dietrict Altornoy baa received due information of thooffenco. As vet no express instructions have been issued to that officer in Ibo premiaes. Ho ie, of courso, ex pected, and will bo required to act with whatever resolution tho occasion may call for. In Ihe lotcat report rocoived from tbe marshal, which boars tbo date or tho last mentioned; ho anuouucci that tho letter which, in tho first in stance he addrcaeed to Major-Gonoial Sickles, ond to' which ho has reccivod no roply, bambeen Wim ned to him through tho post commandant at WUmington. He montions an endorsement there on of Beverni inquiries addressed, as he is under stood to aay, to bini, dated at Charleston,.August 12? but he docs cot stato whether or not any signa ture wne subjoined to them. Ho furnishes no full transcript ni these endorsements, but reporta a copy of his own, mide i? responso to theso rc forrcd to, on the wiwie Jotter, .la his endoraemont, tho marshal reciten, apparently, timui or ...bo ror mi?r: ''Whoro and when tbu Bovcrei pauses ?r nctioir accrued : whether the actione wero for uVjbt or other causes; when tho suits wore begun; When Judgments wero givon, nnd when final pro cesa ivas isauod," ote.

Tho following ib the order: ?'' - "Judgments or docroos for tho payment of monoy on causes of aotion arming bolwemi tho 10th of Decomber, 186 , and tbo 15th of May, 1885, shall not bo enforced against tbo property or per son of tho dofondout. Proceedings in such causes of action now ponding, shall do stayed : and no suit or process shall bo hereafter inatitutod or commenced for any such causes of action." ? This order does not oxproselv oxcept suits iiTor froces? of tho courts of the United Statos. Cor ftinlv snch sn exception must have appeared quite unnecessary. In coso of controversies bo tween citizons of difforent States, for example, the judicial power of tho United States is vcBtcd, an terior to all lawn of Congress, by express provi sion of tho Constitution. similar grant of juris diction by General Sickles muat havo appeared -idieulons, had such been insortoti iu his order, > - the enfranchisement of the Federal Court-.. ?U -h moro absurd would it havo appeared had H, riyilpgo beoii imparted by general order t< i t ' a States to instituto suit and real i/o tbo u. ??ytjon against a defaulting puollc ageni upon ev whoro tho cauBe of action bad ariacr r,r a debts ?, 19tn pf Decombcr, I860, and tho 1511 holwcoiriD? th? cxpo<i?oney of criminal prose May, lew.?.V 1M* os taay lodged in tbe discrelioi eutions ie ?

'l'ho construction whic aiiphes tho order tu question to tho courts or It Union is evidently an aitor-thought. The orde is doted lltli April. On tho ?Ih of June tho Cliii Jualico opened tho court in Hatoigh. 'l'hat Ii publicly announced, in substance, for tho informi tlon of all partios concerned, on Iho occasion < seating himself on tho honch, that it was incorc ?i.itiblu with tho authority of tho national Judiciar to sit whero a military authority existed whicl could unpcile its process, and that it was sololy i: conscipienco of the fact that no such militar authority thon existed that ho felt willing to hoi that Court, was rendered notorious by genera publication in tho nowsiiapors at tho time. Th older expressly forbids tho institution or proseen timi or certain suits. Tho Court was held afto the solemn publication to tho bar and tho peoiil referred to, and Iho suits in question herein wer prosecuted, nil in open contempt the ordor am of all othnr ordete (nudine to hinder tho conslltu tional indi!|)cndeiice of Ilio judiciary. Yot, unti after the departure of tho presiding justice fron tho locality, no steps, as far as I hvvo information were taken to enforce this order in tho promises With tho validity of tho ordor, as oporoling upot iho judicatures of tho States whoso rcauscitalioi line been confided lo tho uianugpinont of Major General Sickles, and, especially with tho expcdien Ojr of il, the prcsonl mailer is not in thu least con pernod. I respectfully submit that the caen is ono ol Ihoso which lio within tho purviow of the atatutui in forco lor the puniehment of persons who ob struct process of Iho United States, and is simplv tho case of a high misdemeanor, legally conten? plated. Hut iu viow of tho respcctabilUy.of tho principal offender, and the corresponding dangei to tho liighor dignity ol tbo law, I understand thai it is deemed ueceasai-y, in thus laying bofnro vom Excolloncy the iactH and documents, to annex tc tho foregoing statement some citations and rotiere tioiis, wliicb a)ipear to tho undersigned to liotlt (he gravo occasion o?an incipient attack bvanus upon tho De) urtine nt of Justice. TUE pool KINK OP CIVII. SUPREMACY. It is i-eapectfully HU-fgrstcd as principio, upon which diflorciico of opinion cnunot ho anticipated m Ibis country, that thoro ia no rightful authority here which is not derived from the Constitution and luws of tho United States. It would scoili to bo highly impertinent lo at tempt to establish llmt proposition, and ahuost as impel tinelli to in gun this necessary result, viz: tltnt ull military authority must be ie'imediatolv or directly imparten by, ami consequently dopomlottt upon, tho civil authority. Action, by military nor so..b, tborofore, which ib outside of this principio, must he unlawful, and if done with Intout to ro sisi that principio, as embodied in tbo Consti tution and statutes, such action, if overt aud with arms, is troason against tho United States. Military powor is but a form in which tbo civil, which is tho only authority, mauifcsls itself in actiOD. A conflict, therefore, bo tweoa tho civil and Iho military aulhnritv of Iho nanio sovoroignty, in logically im possible, unless through tho fault of public agents, vithor civil or military. Tbo laws of a rountrv must, mid tho ministers of those laws roav, bo iti harmony; but thoy may not; and this from inno cent or froui culpablo 'motivee. Theso principle.! aio of the utmost importance to public order, and havo been so recognized by politicians of ovurv school, and partisans of every faction of note, from tho foundation of tho Ttopulilic. Surclv, no politi cal part will repudiate, as nono can "exclusively claim, theso cssontial conservativo principles. No candid person would besitato to accept their eub st unco as iudispomiablo; and we may timeeliminato at tho outset most of the extraneous mutton- tend ing to complicato the unfortunate collision which has occurred, and may be warranted, I think, in enquiring whether it ?b anything in law but a mis demeanor, in violation of ilio laws in forco for the furtherance of the judicial power? Hut the high rank of tho principal offender, a? beforo uuggoslod. and the salutary public objects to which his exorbitant action would probablv he ascribed, no less than the groat magnitude of" the powoi with which ho could support liTS error, simuld ho feel justified in such a course, are cir cumstances which givo the occasion un extraordi nary character, and inspire the undersigned with that eenso, both of ils dolicacy and importance, which domanda tbo introduction hero of the prin ciples <>t thu subject, an pronounced by standard authorities. POWElt AND E ' . OP TUE .IUDICIAI1V,_?, Chancellor Kent says :' ff? m" origin ami title, mini willi tho other poivers Of Government, ami la as ox?luaively veated iu the Courts created liy m- in pursuance ot the Constitution, as tho legislative porrai is vested in Congress, or . Iho I'.xcciilivc power m the President." (1 Comm., 2!H), 2'Jl.) The Federalist, No. 78, is an elaboralo and lu minous oxposilion of the central idea that "the completo independenco of the courts justice is peculiarly essential in a limited Constitution.-' Mr. Justice Story euye : "The imjiin-toiico ot tho establishment of h judicial iloim intent in the Na tional liovci'tunent lias already been incidentally discusseti. Tlio want of it constituted ono of the vital defects of tho Confederation. And every Government must, iu its essence, ho unsafe ami unlit for u free peoplo where such a department docs not exiBt, with |Hiwors coextensive with the legislative department. Where thoro is no judicial department to intcrpiet, pronounce, and oxecuto tbo law?to decido controversies, aud to enforce l ights?tho Government must oithor perieli by iIh own imbecility, or the other departments of Gov ernment must usurp powers for tho purpose ol common ling obodiotico to the destruction of liberty." (2 Story Const., ?1, G71. The samo authority aays, speaking of the judicial department : "To tho people at largo such an insti lutimi ia peculiarly valuable, and it ought to be eminent I. cherished by them. On ita linn and in dependent structure thoy may repose with safety, while thov porceivo in it a faculty which is ooly eet in motion whon applied to, but which, when thus brought into action, must proceed with com petent power, if required to corroct tho error or bubduo tho oppression of tho other blanches of Government." (Ibid, ?1 57C.)

Thm shows the real necessity or a judicial authority which is soourelv fortified agaitiht all possible int'erforeuee while the state of society admite of judicial sessions. Ruch being tho nature or the judicial fund ion, and Ilio powers in the Federal (ioveruinent, it is obvious that the terrltoriU Holds of its operation is co-oxtensivo with tbo ustionai domain, which, with respect to tho judicial power considero.1 as a unii, is a single territory, iiubieet to lie divided into ulaecH of jurisdiction un may lie most con venient for the purpose of aduiin?sterinu: justice. Bui with respect to the subject mnttei of judicial cognizance it is far ut hern ibs. A large proportion of them pr?suppos?e, in their existence, organic geographical divisions, an into Stales, inchoate States, and the soat of the General Ooferameut the District of Columbia. Those aro political divisions. Judicial divisions exist, but they are altogether independent of them.

This does not arleet Iho causen of action over which Iho judi ciary shall exercise exclusivo control. Tor they ro Utaln tho same ss if each Slate of the Union irta district, aud only districts wero established, and no circuits. When a cause of acllon, or a criminal infract ion or a law of thu United Stales, arises fol lile action of the Federal judiciary, iho cognizance of Dm latter is forthcoming, and the only question is, in which districi or circuit shall it lie taken. The ronimoi* territory uf the nation is alno sub divided for other purposes, as for the purpose of collecting taxes, duties, Ac, by net of Congress, dirortlv ur through executive agents, empowered notado, by Congress. Sneh divisions, like tin judicial provinces referred to, are subject to chango at tho pleasure of Congress. The recount ruction Military Districts in thu South are examples of districting for specilli- mid temporary purposes. But hero arises a most important distinction be tween judicial geographical divinum? and those of any other kind which have ever been created by Congress. Until tbo 2ith of September. 1789, 11 Stat. 73, et seq.,) Iho judicial powor of the I nitod Statcs'was not all vcatod. Unen the passage of the celebrated act of Congress or that dato, organizing the inferior courts of tbo Unitod States, tho whole judicial power, not directly vested in the Supremo Court by the constitution, vested in tbo courts so created. This proposition having been laid down after solemn argument by the greatest of our judge.!, and nover since dis finted, must bo accoptcd as unquestionable, it allows from this that the power of tho Legisla ture cannot go beyond modifying and changing from timo to timo, as in their wisdom may seem expedient, tho orgsnization of tho courts and the divisions of the country into judicial provinces. But having once vested the judicial power, which, as we aro instructed, CongresB was bound to do, that body cannot have the power to vacate a judi ?is) tract. But it is otherwise with tho districting for revenue or other purposes. Thu constitution has noi inhibited their total-abolition at tho plca suro of Congress. But there is another reason why Congress oould not abolish tho judicial dis ti " tu of Iho United States, though thoy may, and frequently do, chango their boundaries. Tho con stitution pr?vidos : "In nil criminal prosecutions, tho acousod eball enjoy tho right to a speedy tr.'J public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein tno crime ubali have been committed, which district shall have been previously1 as?erl?inr.d by law."
