'unprofitable.
:, The prompt action of Gov. Fletcher Ia sus-
tanned BY all the Radicals who voted against
Tie Constitution as well as By these who
voted for 1t. As matter Of course in a. time
Of profound pence such proceeding as the
removal Of Judges Of the Supreme Cour. by
m hteFy power would be Justly REGARDED 81 an
outrage. but herein lies the present dttilcul.y-
The convention claiming to represent the
sovereignty Of the people ordered the Gov
e1nor TO enforce the vacating ordinances, au3
TO save him from harm enacted section TINT
no act of any public officer NECESSARY to carry
ont the said ordinance shonld eyer. be the
basis of any suit at law. It ia true that tue
Circuit Court pronounced the vacatins ordi.
lance Illegal, but If that be true then the
very Judge who made the decision was ille-
gal,y holding court. and Of course had no
right to make such a decision. Under these
complex circumstances the Governor took
+ the bull by the horns and enforced the otdl.
nance, recognizing the power of rh. State
Convention to pass any ordinance. Moreover
when the old Judges refused TO yacate there
was no higher Court to appeal to. It was an
extraordinary emergency, the like Of which
has neTel occurred before and may never oc
cur again. The ncE Judges are nor in qutet
occupation and Will remain there pso1Sb1y.
unless como Of our inferior Judges undertake
TO gust them By force, proceeding which
will increase further trouble.
There is weeping and waiting aud snashIue
OF teeth among the rebels in this State, and
especially in this city, on .ccoun. of the adop.
tien Of the New Constitution. One Of their
organs has cndeavored 10 keep up the delu-
syn thus ia5 that the Constitution has been
by the Rfpxb1;iaan diminished the claim to lGl
majority. The other organ claims over 1000
majority against, but the truth is tho rcbrla
