The opinion Il the "Ssccsh Circuit Court
at Washington on the suspension Of the hI6edS
corpus, Is to be t'ken as 4 matter Of course, and
q. exposition of Politic'l sympithiss rather
than law. The position Of the Court is that in
this 9, untry, tho law has no superior-msaning
the ordinary civil law, as administered by tho
Courts. In this the learned Court in
eisputsbly shows either its superiority or
infsrsrity TO all judicial authorities that
have preceded 1t since law began TO exist for
not one Of them he'd ever Questioned the axiom
that the public safety is the supreme law, or the
other axiom that laws are made for the COM

ing with him. 1t is suppo cd that he was
