THE GEORGIA INJUNCTION BILL. ,
The l?ill b> foit* the Supreme-Court, presented
by Judge Black, mid Metur*. O'Connor, Brent |
eut und Cowan, in behulf of the Slate ol (/ or? J;

tury Stnutnn, General Grant, and General l'ope, j 8
the military comtnatider, to rextrain their ex- 1,
ecution of the late military acts, has been tiled fj
without objection. The vaine objection did i
not apply to this bill which was uiude to that t
presented in behalf of .the State of MisgHmppi,
by Judge Sharkey and 11. J. Wulker, and whieli q
was made the giuund of refusal of leave lo file |j
tile bill, inasmuch as this does not make the Q
President a party. The Court .repudiated hiiv "p
right on the part, of the judiciary. thus to lo in a
terfere with the exercise of the the functions of o
a co ordinaie branch of the Government. In ji
the cape of the Georgia hill, a bubpcBna was or- ii
dered to he is&ued, directed to Geueral Pope, 0
but os the rule of the court allows sixty dn\? <
lor the return after tho service of procccv, and
the Supreme Court adjourns in May, there can t!
he no drcifion of the questions presented before t(
next winter. * tl

tions'of Congi'?*4 and llie proclamations of the ll
President. The war was ostensibly waued fur
the sole .purpose of restoring the Union, and P

diBiingiiiithnd officer of the army, stationed in
this District, for Haying that the |>)au for registering
the State has been matured and and
determined.
General tichofield will appoint for each
county in the State a hoard of three Cotniiiiroioner*,
one of whom will he uii offii-er of
he army, if possible; the other two civilians ;
Hid ou the recoinmendntion of this hoard he
will appoint a register for each ni?gisu-tial
district, Thi? regifter will simply be a ?l?rk.
whose duty it will be to rccord in a book. inu<Io
for 1 tie purpose, the names of audi prisons ill
the district us are entitled to vote. This qura
lion is to lie sallied by the oath of the parly
applying to r-gistcr, unless there be a thai
I'clige from some third parly, or a doubt in lha
opp!icani'? own mind, in which cane ihe ComiiiinHioners
must detrminc the qui-a'ion. It
will, of course be necessary, therefore, for the
Commissioner* to make n circuit of the county,
going from one district to another until all
