An exceedingly interesting case, inyolv-
ing the right of pardoned rebels to hold
places of responsibility and trust is being
argued in the United States Supreme
Court at Washington. Two lawyers of
the pardoned class, Garland, of Arkansas,
and Mari, of Louisiana, apply for permis-
sion to practice before the Court without
taking the test oath that they have not
wilfully participated in the rebellion
They claim through their advocate, Mr..
Carpenter, that their pardon by the Presi-
dent removes all disabilities 10 their case,
and that no barrier can longer be opposed
to them in any employment which they
may seek. They cannot, of course, take
the test oath without perjury, and they
hold that Congress cannot rightfully pre-
scribe an oath to persons who have re-
ceived the Executive clemency.
Attorney General Speed, in an elaborate
and cole argument shows the fallacy of
this view. He says there never was a
time when Congress did not prescribe
qualifications for Office. 1t would not be
pretended that pardon would restore a
rebel Postmaster, or an officer of the reb-
el army or navy, to the position he might
formerly have held under the Federal
Government pardon" said Mr.. Speed,
ssonly prevents the infiction of punishment.
It is not key to unlock the offices of the
Government" Thepardon does not wipe
out the fault, and it still remains proof
of evil character and disqualification
for such privileges as this demanded by
the petitioners.

A NEW RAILRoap LINE.

Mr.. Washburne's resolution, just passed
in the House of Representatives, author
izing railroad communication through the
States, without being subject to a tax or
any hindrance from State authorities, has,
no doubt, immediate reference to direct
line between New York and Washington.
1t is believed that bill will be immedi-
ately introduced Incorporating such road
so direct and level as to avoid every local
interest. 1t will probably cross the Sus-
quehanna at point near the mouth of the
Conestoga, and will therefore run through
one of the richest sections of Pennsylva-
MIA. 1t is confidently calculated that when
this road is built to travel between Wash
ington and New York will not take more
than seven hours. This will, in fact, be a
national road, built by the government as
well for its own purpose as for the promo
ton of the general veal.

CONGREssIO

In the Senate on Thursday, the Presi-
dent was requested to state on what charges
jeff Davis is confined. Mr.. Sumner pre-
sented petitions from the colored citizens
of Tennessee asking that that State may be
kept out till their rights are recognized ;
aud from white citizens of the District of
Columbia for the extension of suffrage to
the blacks. Mr.. Howard presented, the
petition of 8, TAO colored citizens of South
Carolina asking for their political rights.
Mr.. Lane offered resolution of inquiry
into the expediency of a partial abolition
ofthe frankiug privilege which was adopt
ed. Mr.. Wilson introduced a bill to en-
force the Constitutional Amendment by
abolishing State laws founded on color,
which was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee. Mr.. Stewart addressed the Senate
in reply to Mr.. Sumner, and Mr.. Wilson
debated at length the question of Recon
struction.
In the House, Mr.. Ashley of Nevada
took his seat. Messrs. Patterson, Farms
worth and Garfield were announced as
House Regents ofthe Smithsonian 1nstitu-
ton, and a Committee on Mines was ap-
pointed. A resolution by Mr. Hubbard,
reaffirming the Monroe Doctrine, was re-
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs
Mr.. Conkling asked leave to offer resolu-
tionAof inquiry concerning the confinement
Of Jeff. Davis and other Rebels, but Mr..
johnson objected. The Committee on
Post Offices was directed to inquire wheth-
er a telegraph system similar to the postal
system cannot be established. Mn. Ray
mond attempted to introduce bill for a
Commission on new post Office building
for New York City, but objection was
made. Mr.. Voorhees, (Dem.) offered res
olutions indorsing the President and his
Reconstruction policy, which were post
poned to Jan. 9. The Committee on the
District of Columbia was instructed to in
quire into the expediency of admitting a
delegate from the District to the House.
Mr. Smith offered a resolution to admit
James NJ. johnson of Arkansas to the floor
of the House, but objection was made and
the resolution withdrawn. The House
went into Committee of the Whole, and
Mr.. Finch and Mr.. Raymond spoke on
Reconstruction.

ILIBRRTY AND LOYALTY INrHR soUrn.
From the Chicago Tribune, Dec. al.t.J

j
And how sweet are the evidences of
their gushing affections for the Union
What if the entire Episcopal clergy of
Alabama refuse publicly to pray for the
President, can there be any doubt that his
name is fragrant to their souls, and that
he is borne upward in their silent devo-
tions, like incense before the alter? What
if the Legislature of Mississippi have de-
MED TO the majority of the population of
their State the right to own, or even hire
a home, and have violated the Constitu
ton of the United States and the laws of
Congress. by robbing the discharged col-
ored Union troops of Mississippi of those
arms which they bore at Port Hudson, the
right to keep and bear which is guaran-
teed by the Federal Constitution and the
right to buy and own which is specially
protected by an act of Congress9 Now
that the Federal Government has sold
these arms to the freedmen and got the
hire of the freedmen's blood for them, is
it not an obedience tothe Constitution and
Government of the United States more
prompt than very have reasonably have
been anticipated to permit a rebel Legisla-
ture and militia of ''the distinguished
young men Of the Confederate army" to
take these arms from their owners with
out any compensation Mark the distin-
guished patriotism of South Carolina,
which DEGREES that no colored man shall
own or lease any land or tenement, in the
State. Marvellous obedience! And in
Georgia they enact that if any white man
shall lease house to negro, heshall be-
come responsible thenceforth for all the
negro's debts and living expenses. More
over, in all the States pleasant and alto
gether pious and humane law of slavery is
in force which must excite the admiration
of the world as an evidence that the peo-
le there ''accept the situation, etc. Thus,
every white employer in South Carolina
is by law "master," and every black en-
ployee is SERVANT" and hiS master can
whip his servant, if under eighteen years,
but if over that age, the servant shall be
judicially and humanely Seated" by the
town whipper, under the direction of that
most excellent thing, Justice ofthe Peace.
If the servant desires to change employers,
any body can arrest him and send him
back; and he shall not leave his masters
premises without a pass. Congress will
perceive that all this is so exactly the con-
dition of laboring men in free countries
that it were a pity to interfere with it
These are doubtless the systems which
are gradually developing themselves" if
we may use Johnsonian expression, sun
der which the freedman will receive the
protection to which he is justly entitled" :"
