much curiosity, and Mr.. Thayer was quite
puzzled by If, so much so that he asked

TIE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT,
Political Status of The Several Judges

A
Correspondence of the Chicago Tribunal
A great deal of curiosity has been man
ifested, of late, here and elsewhere, as to
the direction of the sympathies of the
members ofthe Supreme Court in the con-
fict between the Executive and Congress.
Of course this is one of the delicate sub
jects, in regard TO which the public anx-
iety cannot be easily met by a definition
of the political status Of the several
Judges, and this simply because the occu-
pants of the Supreme Bench, from the dig
nifty of their station, are not as ready and
obtrusive as other public characters, with
revelations Of their views and opinions
upon the questions of the day. Had the
question Of the validity of the test oath
been decided by the Court, before the ad-
journment Of its last term, all the desired
light would, no doubt, have been thrown
upon the respective political tendencies of
the Judges. Nevertheless, although an
official occasion for the formal disclosure
of the latter has thus been postponed, il
has not been found impossible TO ascertain
them, in a private way. Efforts for this
purpose have been industriously made by
our quidnuncs, and apparently crowned
with success. While l cannot vouch for
the absolute correctness Of what l am
going 10 state in reference to the subject,
I can say with perfect truthfulness, that it
reflects the version of the indications of
the EJudges concerning reconstruction,
most current here in Congressional circles.
Of course the Chief Justice is sound and
true to the cause of equal human rights
without distinction Of race or color. he
does not only believe in the right of Con-
gress to legislate on questions, the supreme
legislative power over which on its part
the President disputes, but he has been
actively using his influence all winter to
bring about an intelligent exercise of it,
upon the basis of universal equality, legal
and political, Of all citizens of the Republic.
Of the eight Justices three out of four of
those appointed by the late President,
viz: Messrs. Miller, Swayne and Davis,
one of the older ones, viz: Mr.. Wayne,
are understood to be in sympathy with
Congress. Justices Nelson, Grier, Cliff
ford, and Field, on the other hand are be-
lieved to be in sympathy with the Presi-
dent. OF this fact the latter is fully aware
and hence his attempt TO bring about q
more even balance by the appointment Of
MI. Stanberry, of Ohio, and hence, also,
the indisposition of the Republican Sen
ators to confirm his nomination. The
question of political composition of the
Supreme Court is one, the vital import
ance of which is not fully realized by the
public at large. Had a majority of the
Judges been in favor of the Presidents
policy, the high-handed proceedings
against Conuress that rumor had repeat-
edly claimed to be intended by him, would
no doubt have been instituted with their
assistance ere this. But as long as there
are five supporters of Congress against
four of the President on the Supreme
Bench, we shall probably not hear of
writs of mandamas.

light struggling in drearily from the top
but ever the light of a dull day makes
the gliding glare painfully. He observes
the two little flags over the Speakers
head, and has taken his seat before per-
ceiving that q man is on his legs, before
one of those little gingerbread desks,
haranguing the House. He cannot hear
a word he says, partly because the man
does not talk loud enough, but chiefly be-
cause no one is paying any attention to
him. Butfew members arein their seats and
these are busy writing, an exercise that
they vary with another that somewhat
amazes our friend. He tries vainly, and
would like 10 catch a word or two of a
speech hat seems TO elicit such terrible
applause. The members arc constantly
clapping their hands with great but not
prolonged energy, at which little hobgob-
lin pages spring about, running as if to
relieve each surcharged member of his en-
thusiasm; and our friend gradually dis
covers that the hand-elapping is not APP
plause, but a mode Of summoning the
pages.
He gazes in bewilderment on the Babel
before him. The man is reading his
speech, and does s o from a printed copy,
as if he were paid by the line for it. The
pages skip about. The members clap their
hands. People come in and look at the
show with stoical apathy, and then go out
again. The man finishes his reading and
sits down. Another man gets upsnd COM
mences the same performance. The mem
bers go out until not more than half a
dozen of them are left. The man is read
ing his speech. He does not do it very
glibby he does not do it as ifhe expected
to gain anything by it. Some humane
friend comes to his rescue with a motion /;
by parliamentary fiction the speech is
considered delivered, and printed with
the proceedings, and as many copies as
the author likes to pay for may be stuffed
into tho glory of a buff envelope and
franked to a wondering constituency in
his "district."
II may be a necessity in the economy Of
the great parliamentary whale that it come
up to the surface and blow of, and then
go down again. lift could be entirely re-
stricted to the Saturdays it would be bet
ter; one day in six is, after all, not a great
deal to devote to parliamentary nonsence.
Making a speechis considered the destiny
of our politicians. The member who
should not succeed in going through the
operation just described at least once in
each session, and ranking home many
thousand dirly-looking little pamphlets as
evidence, would be considered an utter
failure-a fraud upon the public. 1t
makes no difference that he has nothing to
say. 1t makes still less that no one wants
TO listen to him. Al the close Of his scat
echism' some leader of the House may be
kind enough to shake him by the hand and
congratulate him on his speech" but even
the most verdant member is not unso-
phisticated enough to believe that it had
any effect On anybody. Its a very broad
farce and a very shallow n Each Sat
urday gets rid of half a dozon of these
orators.

his passengers some days since. This no.
bleman is the Oldest son, heir of the Mar
quis Of Westminster, whose fortune is
enormous and said to produce the immense
income of e450,000 per annum. He is
highly intelligent, and the variety and
depth of his information would be con-
sidered great even for a commsner. He
has traveledextensively in all parts of the
world, and it is not long since he returned
from q long tour in the United States.
While at the West he was one day wait

when one Of the farmers of the neighbor-
hood entered into conservation with him.
