Excitement in the Gold Market. The telegrams from Europe, indicating war speculators to send gold up or down in the market. A number of these individuals live through the excitement thus created, and con- sequently never fail to exaggerate the im- portance of every piece of news that may come or which may suit their operations. Last week gold was sent up when war appeared probable ; this week, as there is a prospect of peace, it has been suddenly run down five or six per cent.

This|is an imprtant fact for the Secretary of Treasur and the business community to jomprehend ernment of the rebel States,” and with it the supplementary bill? what will be the remodies of Congress. To secure a man in the White House (President Wade, of the Senate,) who will execute the laws, Andrew Johnson, with the reassembling of Congress in July, will be hauled up for trial, and will be impeached and removed; and in order to secure a Supreme Court which will at- tend to its law business, and not undertake to veto the legislation of Congress passed by a two-thirds vote in each house over the Presi- dent’s vetoes, the Court itself will be recon- structed. Meantime, with the suspension of the work, eo encouragingly’ opened, of South- ern reconstraction, political confusion, civil discords, violence and crime will be revived from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, and the reaction upon the Northern mind will give the extremest radicals the control of Congress. Thus, after disposing of Andrew Johnson and the present fossilized Supreme Court, Congress will proceed to what “Old Thad Stevens” would call “a mild measure of Southern con- fiscation, for the indemnity of loyal Southerners in consequence of the spoliations of traitors, rebels and robbers.” Such are the results to which Sharkey, Jen- kins and Walker are inviting the Gupreme Court and President Johnson. The Court, apon some petty quibble, may escape the logical de- mands of the Milligan decision ; but if the five Milligan judges grant the injunction prayed for against Secretary Stanton, General Grant and General Pope, then, if President Johnson would save himself and the South, he will pay no more attention to this presamptuous injune- tion than if it were only a vermillion edict from the Emperor of China. Otherwise the in- junction road before Mr. Johnson is the road to qhe guillotine. Ristori’s New Season.

They triumphantly Point to ‘the Milligan decision. They have counted noses, and say that as the great issue here involved is substantially the same as in the Milligan case—State righte—the division of the-Court will be the same: five for the injuno- tion prayed for and four against it. It is given out that the President anticipates such a de- cision, and that he desires it, hoping in thig way to defeat the reconstruction policy of Con- gress and to revive his own. Nor would it be & matter of surprise if the Court were to issue the injunction asked ; nor would it, or fifty similar injunctions, amount to anything with » President reselved to execute the laws, regard- lees whether four judges or five judges of the Supreme Court thipk this’ way or that way upon. ® political question, the’ settlement of which belongs exclusively to Gongress. But as it is probable that the decision indicated, if pronounced by five judges against four, will be recognized by President Johnson, we may truly say that herein lies the greatest danger which has menaced the administration and the rebel States since the collapse of their Southern Whence come these injunction cases in behalf of the States of Mississippi and Georgia? They come irom the President's friends, per excellence. He winks at these proceedings, or h¢ could have stopped them.

After plead- ing that his sympathies arg with the legal advisers of the rebellion he ought to have thrown up his case, or the Secretary of War should have demanded a substitute. But as tlie case for Congress has béen left in his hands, and as it rests upon his argument, it must be decided upon a technicality and a quibble or it will be decided against Congress. We say that we shall not in the least degree be surprised if these Southern reconstraction laws of Congress must be stopped, inasmuch as these laws are un- Looking at the Milligan decision, we are pre- pared for this result Mark, too, the official course of the President in the South before and after the Milligan decision. Before it the off- ‘| cers of the army in the rebel States were given ® large margin of jurisdiction over civilians and civil cases; but it was not so after the Court (five to four) had affirmed in that deci- sion that, even in a time of civil war, the trial and punishmest of civilians by military tribu- nals in States where the civil courts are open is contrary to the constitution. So now, while in the absence of any judgment from the Supreme Court the President proceeds to the execution of these sweeping laws of Congress, we may expect that he will gladly obey an injunction which will at once vindicate his vetoes and give him a chance for turning the tables upon Congress. Who are the five judges of the Mil- ligan decision? Nelson, Grier, Clifford, Davis Dixon and Doolittle conglomerates. Any one of these men will do to represent the political majority of one im the Court which they commané.

It is always a delicate subject to touch the press or deal arbitrarily with it in times of peace. It is thas not perhaps quite free from danger for our military chiefs in the Southern States to interfere with it. Thus far they have done very well in the exercise of their new powers. General Sickles especially has acted with a good deal of judgment and wisdom in many respects, although we do not altogether like his meddling in that flag business. It was rather too small an affair, inasmuch as it was & mere matter of taste. Different people like different flags in public processions ; some affeet red, some black, some blue, some motiled and some striped. Taste in banners and stand- ards, like costames, is of the medley order. For instance, the Moslems en certain occasions carry a horee’s tail. we find a pair of unmentionables preferred.
