Chief Justice Chase replied 70 the Presi1ert
He positively stated that bis Circuit Court for
the Dissrios OF Virginia i either to DC pre-idei
over by himself or one Of bis associate. OF be
would not hold the term during The autumn or
arly winter. lie stated that the regular term A.
thorized by Congress would commence the year
on the 27th of November, only one week before
the annual term Of the Supreme Court, When Ell
the Judges are required 70 be present, allowing
but one week for the Circuit Court 10 80. which
in the opinion OF the Chief Justice would be too
short term for the transaction OF any very i'm
portant business.
But the Chief Justice adds, that were facis
otherwise. he much doubts the propriety OF
holding Circuit Courts Of the United States in
States which have been declared, by the cxecu-
tive and legislative departments of the National
Government TO be IN rebellion. and therefore
subjected TO martial Law before complete restora-
ton of their broken relations with the nation
and supersedure OF military by civil adminis,ra
tion, that he would be unwilling 20 hold back
Courts m such States within ms circuit, which
includes Virginia. until Congress shall have had
an opportunity TO consider and act on the whole
subject.
The Chief Justice expressed 10 the President
bis opinion that special court IN district
under martial law can only act by the sanction
and under the supervision of military power, and
he positively asserts that he could DOT think that
it becomes Justices of the Supreme Court TO ex.
erese jurisdiction under such conditions
