THE E ING STAR. The Largest Circulation im the District W. D. WALLACH, Editer and Propricter. WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY -APRIL 16, 1867. S7 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- poss as AND OTHER MATTER. THE OPPOSITION TO THE RECONSTRUCG TION BILL. ‘The Supreme Court of the United States bas | refused to entertain the Mississippi injunc- tion bill, sgainst the President of the United States, in regard to the execution of the sup- plementary recoastruction bill, and thus the first step of opposition to the action of Con- | Qonrt of gress proves to be a fowz pas. An application to file a new bill, which will not attempt to enjoin the President, will now have to be made. There is a rule of the Court that “pro- cess issued out of this Court im any suit in equity sbali be served on the defendant sixty | days before the return of such process;” and as the Court adjourns in May, definite action on the Georgia bill, and on an amended Mis- siseipp bill, if filed, will necessarily have to be deferred until the next regular termof the Court in December next. So the rule is inter- preted by competent legal authority. It would be much better for the Southif the | the part of Jeaders im this opposition to the law would fet the matter rest here. While they have an unguestioned mght toapply tothe Court to test the constitutionality of the law, they should consider well, whether any good tothe people as likely to result from the application, and whether it would not be for the best interests ef the South that the work of reconstruction under the iaw, should proeeed without im- pediment. Because they doubt the constita- tionality of alaw enacted by Congress, they are willing to protract restoration indefinitely and continue the evils which afflict their fel- ° plication should Jow-citizens. Would not true patriotism sac- Tifice its opinions on the altar of the public good? The Southern people should be de- luded no longer. There is but one course for them to pursue, and that is to organize at once, under the acts of Congress. Many of them see and realize the necessity tor such o GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.

Jay Cooke & Uo. npn pla qao- THE MISSISSIPPI INJUNCTION CASK, OPINION OF OHIRY [UGTIOR OH ABR, We briefly referred Yesterday to the de- cision of Chief Justice Onase, of the Supreme the United States, refusing to eater- | tain the Mississippi imjwaction bill against the | President of the United States in regard to the execution of the supplementary reconstruction | Bill. The Court, in ts opinion, denied that the | President's dutues under the laws in question were merely *‘ministeriai,” asin the exercise of the power to see that the Jaws are faithfully executed, he is required to assign generals to commands in the several military districts, | Sand to detail sufficient military force to enable such officers to discharge their duties under the Iaw,all of which, and other duties im- sere by the supplementa reconstruction il, must war ue performed under the | supervision ef the President, as commander- | in-chief. “ Am attempt,” says the Court, “on the judicial department of the Goy- ernment to enjoin the performance of such duties by the President might be justly char- acterized, in the language of Chief Justice Marshal, ss ‘an absurd and excessive ertray. agance Alluding tothe alleged « uncot stitntionality’’ of the reconstruction bills the Court says that «bad it been supposed at the bar that this Court would in any cas» imterpose to arrest the execution of an un- Constitutional act of Oongress, it can hardly be doubted that applications with that objec: would have been heretofore addressed to it The fact that no such application was ever before made in any case indicates the general judgment of the —— that nosuch ap- entertained.’ The opin- ion of the Court then goes on to show the im Propriety and probable consequences of in- terference by the judicial department of the Government between the legisiative and exec- Utive departments, stating that if the injanc- tion asked tor should be allowed, and the President refuse to obey it, tne Court was Without power to enforce the process. ‘If, mm the other hand, the President complie- & course, and are working in good faith | with the order of the Court and refuses to ex- With a view to speedy organization, their labors are constantly impeded by the same class of politicians who have always stood in the way of every movement calca- dated to advance the future interests of their section They seem to have learned nothing, and hang on to their obsolete abstractions with a tenacity of purpose which would be Iudic- rons orly, if it was not so mischievous in its e ts. At seems strange that leaders who have brought their followers to rnin should | Still bé adhered to, or have any Influence in the commanity, but it isone of the idiosyncra- cies of Southern character. It is all very well to prate about andingto Principle and yielding nothing to policy, but something may be said on the other side of the question. For instance, Hon. Reverdy John- Sou, who is 4 true friend of the South, being |e willing to surrender his private Opinious ecute the act of Congress, it was clear that a collision might occur between the executive | and legislative departments of the Govern- ment. Might not the House of Representatives impeach the President for such refusal, and in that case could the Court interpose in behalf | of the President thug endangered by a com. pliance with its mandates, and restrain by in- ion the Senate of the Unitea States from sitting as a conrt of impeachment? Would the strange spectacie be offered to the public wonder of an attempt by this Court to arrest proceedings in that case! These questions answer themselves ’ The decision concludes by stating that we are tully satisfied that this Court bas no jurisdiction of a bill to enforce the President tn the performance of his Official duties, and that no euch bill oughtto | Dereceived by us.’ On the announcement | of the decision ex-Ciovernor Shark ey, of Mis- | Sissippi, said the objection to the bill whieh | be bad attempted to file seemed to be that it | was an effort to enjoin the President, and as e bill was not filed,he ceuld amend it to | Suit the views of the Court, and offer it again. for the public good, in a letter toa geatle- | Ubief Justice Chase informed him that when man in Georgia states that he voted in favor of the Military Reconstruction bill “not because I approved of it, but because I knew that if defeated, or not carried out by the South, oth- er measures, ruinous to them in every way. would follow.” His advice is “that the prop- er course to be pursued” by the people of the late rebellious States, to organize, unde the act at omce, and in good faith.” It has also been stated that Mr. Johnson was asked to be. come counsel in the Georgia injunction case @gaimst the Reconstructien bill, but he de- clined. as he desired to aid the South, and was of the opinion that the proceedings in the Su- preme Court would end in injury to that sec~ another bill was presented it would be con- sidered, and tixed Thursday as the next mo- tion day. The Mississippi bill, it will be re- membered, differs from the Georgia bill in containing the name of the President. Attor- ney General Stanberry making no objection to the reception of the latter, the Court granted leave to file it, and it will not now come up before December next. as a rule of the Su- preme Court requires that “process issued ont of this court in anvsuit of equity shall be served on the defendant sixty days before the return ofsuch process.” Yesterday subprenas were issued against Secretary Stanton, Gen. Grant, and Gen. Pope. the de endants The | Court will be adjourned in May, and as the sixty days required by the return cannot oc- 1 cur between now and the adjournment. the return day of the process musi necessarily be tion, rather than good.

BLEEDING THE CITY Itis stated that twenty-nine circuses anu | menageries are now traveling through the country. These circuses are always abun- dantly patronized in Washington, and it | ‘would afford matter ef some interest to ascer- tain how much the city has been depleted in tbe course of years by this periodical drain. itis estimated that the last circus and me- magerie visiting bere carried away from forty | to fifty thousand dollars, leaving the city ab- solutely so mach poorer.

Mr. Usmeron believed the Pr@sident did not intend to nominate any but the worst men. He was willing to adjourn to-day, but would consent to stay here til to-morrow. Mr. Chandler entered his protest against the intimations of several Senators that they ‘would confirm copperheads. Mr. Feraenden thought it the Senator knew oy such men he should name them. Mr. Chandler said he alluded to the Senator Mr. Fessenden repelled the remark with the scorn and indignation which he felt. The Senator should confine himeelf to facts. He thought the Senate had to stay here until all the vacancies are filled. They could not abift the responsibility from their shoulders. Mr. Chandler said he had until now fol- lowed Mr. Fessenden, and haa never, as the Senator charged, sough: to be aleader.
