It is conceded that for the election of the officers in question b: or mate = tae inate sumeter of the power wou a of Congress. oe fortunately for the Dis- plats n popatarelection. If by the true con te a r election. AZ Feruction of the article of the Consti above referred to the officers of fee pegecus municipal organization are emb ‘With. in its terms, and the power of appoin ment thereby conferred exclusively on the Executive, it would seem that Con- “ress could have no greater or more ap- parent right to transfer that power to the people than to assume its exercise directly in creating the charter,or to rest it in the presiding officer of the tive Houses or anybody else it might select that pe . The particular depository of the power that might be chosen by the legis- lature could eae attempt to take it away from where the Constitution had placed it vat Congress .can create such a ration as that proposed will not be questioned. The Sth sect. of art. 1 confers upon Congress the authority to exercise “exelusive legisla- tion in ail eases whaisoever” over the Dis- trict of Columbia, and under this clause it may certainly create a municipal ecorpora- tion as an auxiliary in the government of the territory, subjected to iis jurisdiction and control. The officers of sich an organization would be aificers of the cerporation and not of the United States, and could not by any reasonable struction of the 2d section of artic of the constitution be brought within its meaning. Thet section provides that the President “shat! nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shail appoint ambassadors, other puilie ministers and consuls, jadges of the Supreme Court, and all other ifwers +f the United States whose appointments are not herein otherwise pro- vided for, and which shall be established by law. The officers contemplated in the pro- posed act are officers of a a corpora- ton, whose duties would be purely local, and necessarily limited to affairs of purely local and munictpal concern. The particular of- ficers designated in the article of the censti- tation referred to perform itieal functions connected with administration of the general vernment, and the expression, “all other officers of the United States,” must be construed to mean such officers as shall be required to perform some official duty hav- ing a similar relation to the en gral government and the general public. The constitution of Pennsylvania, in force in Ist, provided “that the pint all officers whose i intments are not herein otherwise provided for.” The court in con- struing this article of the constitution of that state, in the case of Lieman vs. Sutherland = Sergant and Rowle, p. 149), used the fol- lowing languay “The word office is of very vague and indefinite import. Everything concerning the administration of justice, or the general interest of society, may be su posed to be within the meaning of constitution, ments are annexed to the office. there are matters of temporary apd 1 concern, which, althouzh comprehended he term office, have not been thought to embraced by the constitution. nd when fMices of that kind have been created, the especially if fees or emolu- Bat legislature haye sometimes made the ap- re tment in the law whieh created them, times given the appointment to the gov- and sometimes given the power of re- ‘1 to.others although the appointment was left to the governor. The officers of whom Iam speaking are often described in nets of assembly by the name of commission- Such, for instance, as are employed in | < out roads and canals and other works a public nature. Yet all these perform cuy, of in other words exercise an fice. So likewise officers within the limit of a corporation are generally ap- poiuted by the corporation unless they mecern the administration of justice. The opinion trom which I have just quotel was delivered by Chief Justice Tilghman and concurred in by Gibson and Dunean. It will be seen that the court was composed of men of distinguished and acknowledged ability. The reasoning of the Chief Jusilee, or the rule of ¢onsiruction which he adopts, applies with peculiar fora te the general Provision of the Federal Constitution which 1am now considering, and which was manifestly in- tended to h relation to those officers onl, who were charged with duties connected with the general administration of the govern- meni, and which can be made to apply to ed by Congress, in the exercise of ve and aimnost mylimii wer of sitlation, sol froin’ that Te Hedda embraced within the m* used. There is a union in Congress the power of exclusive legislation in places and limited legeslation in ouers. In the cases of limi legislation the specific grant and designation of the sub- ject preseribes the power—in the case of ex- elusive legislation the power is given In broad and comprehensive terms without limait; such as are used in nd to the ter- ritories and the District of Columbia. In the exercise of its power in each of these cases Congress is restrained by the 1 limita- tions upon its authority specified in the first eight articles of amendment to the Constitu- tion, guaranteeing certain rights and immu- nities to the . _ But, except restrictions, specified In the articles referred to, and a few other restrictions in some later amendinents of a similar character, the legis- lative power of Congress over the District of Columbia is unlimited It acts at ail times as the national po wrong bat in dealing with matters that relate to the states it exer- elses @ Pgs of adifferent nature from that which it exercises in dealiug with the terri- ies and the District of Columbia. An ustration of the relations in which these lnealities stand to the powers of the federal government and Constitution, is furnished in the decision of the Sa- preme Court on the subject of the yedicial power of the U States. In he ease of the Jnsurance Company v. Can- ist Peters. (00), Chief Justice Marshall, ivering the opiuton of the court, says: “Ii nas been contended that by the consiitution the judicial power of the United States ex- tends to all cases of admiralty and maritime ‘isdietion, and that the whole of this judi- | power must be vested in one supreme court, i in such inferior courts as Congress sill from time to time ordain and establish. Thence it hax been argued that Congress can- hot vest admiralty jurisdiction in courts created by the territorial legislature. * These courts are net constitutional courts whieh the judicial power conferred by the constitation on the general government can be deposited. They are incapable of reeeiy- ing It. They are légtslative courts created in virtue of the general right of sovereignty which exists in the government, or in virtme of that clause which enables Congress to make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory be- longing to the United States. The jurisdiction with which they ore invested is not a part of that judicial power, which is defined in the 3 article ‘of the Comstitulion, but is conferred by Congress in (he execution of those general powers, which uct body possesses over the Territories of the Titted Sates.” In cases of Noonan v. Lee, Orehard v. Hughes, and Durphy y. Klein- smith, it was held, that a territorial legisla- ture could not consolidate the jurisdictions of equity and common law, and require all proceedings of the former to be in accordance With the rules adopted in the administration of the latter, on une ground that the constitu- tion of the Uni States fee a these jurisdictions as separate and distinct from each other. But in Hornbuckie v. 13th Wallace) the court reconside cd all eases and said: On a careful review of the whole subject we are not satisfled these decisions are ona correct view of law. “The acts ‘ongress Courts concerned are of Ce in the United States with and confined to courts Us part of the federal system, and as invested with a judicial power of the United States ex) 'y conferred by the Constitation and to beexercised in correlation witht isd i the several whieh C Jumma Staies.” officers the territories of J conclude, therefore, rded as Officers within the meaning of the 2d section.

Bryan was convicted of embezzling a letter Jyom the city post office at the March term of the Cri 1 Court, and sentenced to the penitentiary for one year, and the defence took exceptions to the rulings at the trial on which the case now comes up.

The trustee caused the to be advertised and sold at auction the deed of trust and promissory note. plaintift it toenjoin the sale on the ground that the debt had id by the plaintiff's husband during his life time.
