All the jaages were on the bench, Wuthin the bar were the Attorney General, his assistant, the counsel for Georgia —Messrs. Black, O'Conor, and Cowan: for Mississippi—Meesrs. Walker and Sharkey; and near by were Secretary McCulloch, Sena- tors Johnson, Patterson, Morgan, Stewart, and Fowler; Hon. Thomas Ewing, Chief Jus. tice Cartter, of the Supreme Court; Philip R Fendall, and others known to the country. Attorney General Stanberry opened the ar- gumentin the Missouri and Geergia ca ses. premising that he would treat them not ina political but in a legal aspect. The questions which divide the country were not bere to be discussed, but for a clear understanding ot the subject it was necessary to show what were the act- of Oongress of which these States complain, and the execution of which, they allege, would do them excessive injury and deprive them of their constitutions: rights These reconstruction laws he explained, re- marking that the States lately in rebellion have now no republican State governments. and therefore Congress made provision by which this end may be effected, and Peoplr secured im the proteetion of life, liberty, and property and representation in Congress. Mr. Stanbery next reviewed the Georgia bill of complaint, and answered its prominent points, especially that part which asks the court to enjoin and restrain the Secretary of War, Gen. Grantand Major Gen Pope from any proceed Whatsoever and forthwith trom any turtheraction under those laws. The Attorney General then argued that this was no such case as was provided for by the Con- sutution to come betore the court. The con- troversy raised was not with Secretary Stan. ton and Gens. Grant and Pope as citizens of Sistes, but as United states officers. He re. peated, for reasons stated by him. that this case Was not within the jurisdiction of the court, nor was it within the reason or spirit of the Constitution. He dwet: upon the damaging consequences which would result from the veto of laws by a judicial tribunal <elected for life, and over whom the people have no con- trol. The avrogation of laws, tee, constitu. tonally passed by Congress, atter having been vetoed by the President. There bave been other fiercely agitating questions in this coun- try, reswiting from tariff acts, &c., but this court was never asked to set them aside, as in this case, before their execution tauirly com- Menced, and before any case had yet arisen, suck a8 was provided for by the Constitution, to ,ustify the interference of this courtin the manner prayed in the petition. The injuries or mi-gbiefs set forth therein were only con. | tingent, and might never bappen. in conclu. sion, Mr. Stunbery arcued that this was a po- lineal case, ara could be reached only by po- liitcar remedies. Mr. O'Counor. in his repiy. sald the idea of the complainant wis to show that what was ordered to be dove under the acts of Congress was in allits leugth and breadth unconstitr. onal And void, Aud therefore it was :bought the court might ordé@r am injanction in genera) terms.
