tf'is uo tvi'eic it- tore t!t6 CommUtt that he
had pailii ipaie.il tti tlie rebellion. The
C'hnirniau, no do Hit, thinks bis nport

Mr. Lindsay s i 1 that it appeared that
the Senatoi-aleut iwas a ninjlier of the Leg
islature helori the war. and as such, it is
natural to suppose that be is s prominent
man in his seciion ot 'be State, and the
presumption is. no evidence appearing to
the contrary, that he did take part iu the

you suppose the Senator elect would bring

i The material question is, whether that
I part of an act of the General Assembly rat-
-d on Hth of I) member, 188, which re
I lates to the Chatham Railroad Conipsny.
(si-cti-ins 4. 5. S, T.i taken in connect! u
with the act ol which it is ameudatory,
violates section 8 of art. S. Ol tbe Constitu
tion uf dha Stat, .and . trausoeaiiaoba coa.
stituiiooal power of the General. Assembly.
Iu any aigument on tuis subject, it must
be admitted that the power of tbe legisla
ture, over tbe ubjj)t, supreme unless re
stricted by the article ot tli Constitution
cited. It must, also, be admitted, that the
article of the Cowatttutloa uiaaot tnmtthing,
that it was intended to operate a am re
striction of th legislative power, and waa
not en'irely a dead letter, aud that it must
have tbe lull force which it words Isitly
and reasonably import.
Section 5 is divided', by its subject, into
two independent clauses, and might well
have been put into two seilon. The first
clause, (ortitting the exception whuhin
this re immaterial,) y, "until tbe bonds
ol the Stan shall be at par, tbe General
Assembly shall bar no power to contract
liehad of the State," unless it shall, in the
same bill, levy a special tax to pay. the in
teieat annually. 1 be requisition to levy a
tax has been complied wkhin tbeasHuader
rou-ideration, and bo qoestioB can arise
upon til s clause.
th second clsuse then liegins ; It is con
nected with tbe former clause by the con
junctive "and," but it imposes a new aud
tiidepenaeni aoamouai reswicHon ea xue
legislative power. The effect ot tbe word
"and" is simply to say, as aa additional is
strietion. The additional restriction is su
peradded ta certain tpeetaT cases td'tbe
former general one. - In " sews (omitting
the exception) could the General Assembly
rnh' racf new debt without imposing a tax.
But there is a olasa of eaaea in which tb
Legislature is forbidden to oontraos s new
debt ia liehsll of tb State, ereo it tbe State
bond ar at par, or a tax to pay the Inter
est be iBiooM'l withoat submitting to it vote
of the people. That eiass i provided for
In tb second clause of wctien 8. "And th
General Assembly have so power to give or

person, association, or corporation (except
to id In tb completion of such Railroad

adoption of this Constitution, or I o which
th State ha a dlrsot pecuniary interest)
unless the subject be submitted to a direct
vote of tb peopl of the State, and be ap
proved I jr maioritv ot those who ahall vote
thereon." For tb purposes uf ths present
j - arrMitnent, the words ia Msckat may be
omlne l; for it is, or must be.aamltted, that
the words "provided for," in the Act ol
18th Decetnlier, 1868, is neither aa unfinished
Kosd or one ia wbich tbe Bute had, at tb
sdoption ot th Constitution, "a direct pe
cuniary latereat."

s Road which was unflnishsd, in th sense
that tt bad never been begun, but not in tbe
