be placed on the record ofthe Court, accom-
companied by motion for writ of RabeGs
Corpus, and that this motion was also refus-
ed. The argument ofthose motions occupi-
ed two or three days, and the decisions w ire
rendered without any written opinion there

certified statement of these decisions of the

mentous subject, but also as indicating the
disposition OF tho President Of the United
States on the Same subject. 1t seems that
the judgment OF the Supreme Court, which
the Chief Magistrate Of the Union ought to
be the first to respect and bow to, is consid-
cred as blow aimed at HIM!
