HE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.

Ponderous bodies move slowly This il
strikingly the case with the tribunal above
named It is quite otherwise with its eo-ordi
nate branch in the Government Congress il
emphatically fast body, and gets through
most unconscionable amount of legislation
They have long since ceased to stop and refec
:. whether or not any Bill under consideration
can stand the constitutional tcst..The Execu.
tive veto proved no barriers this faint opposl
tion being more considered in the light OF q
stimulus to .toyerride'' said veto. They ap-
pear to have altogether forgotten that there Is
q third arm Of the Government, empowered to
decide between the Executive and the Congress
sional view of the Constitution. IL is only within
the last few days some of these new laws, in
volvng constitutional questions, have s'1..o
fore the Supreme Court o"H' It's decisions pclng
. ooainst Conrrcs., and the party represented
bv The dominant majority in both Houses, a
hue and cry is at once set up for u reconstruc-
tion of the Supreme Court. The New York
Herald comes out in a violent onslaught on this
Court and counsels Congress to dismiss the
old Judges, and get new ones who shall ap-
prove the Acts of Congress. But there is a
difficulty here. Such reconstruction can only
be effected by another amendment to the
Constitution. That instrument declares art.
8, Sec. u that .the Judges, both of the Su-
preme and Inferior Courts, shall hold their
Offices during good behavior The Supreme
Court ia, therefore, independent Of Congress-,
and will so remain till the people see fit to
amend the Constitution for the purpose of de-
stroying the independence of the Judiciary,
which we incline to think will not happen very
soon. In the meantime, says he=7fanscrW,
there is q powerful hook in the nose of the
Congressional Leviatilan, and the territorlaliz-
ing of=the Southern States is a matter about
which more than one department Of the Govern
ment will have something to say.@
That our readers may know who Judges
are, we give their names and the date OF their
appointment 1t will be seen from these dates
that the majority, five out Of nine, have been
appointed since the commencement Of the war,
and may be reasonably supposed not TO be
.Copperheads, Having all been nominated
by President LINCOLN, and confirmed by Re-
publican Senate. Eight of the nine, moreover,
are Northern men:

A Summer Sorrow.


She began to droop when the chestnut buds
Shone like lampf on the pale blue sky;
She faded while coEslip and hawthorn blew,
And the blythe month, May, went by.
I carried her into Tie sun-btight fields,
Where the children were making hoy;
And she wetch'd their sport asan angel might
Then I knew shsfnuSt pass away.
With the first whitdfoses decked her room,
laid them uponsher bed;
Alas while roses still keep their bloom,
My own sweet adHer lies dead!
felt that the parting hour was near,
When I heard herswhisper low
"Take me once more my father DEAR
To see my roses grow.
"Take me once moreto the sunny pool
Where the dear white lilies sail,
And below their leaves, through thecrystal depth
The buds lurk mildly pale.
"Take me onco more to the waterfall,
That seems blithe as o child at play;
Where the ivy creeps on the mossy wall,
And the fern. leaves kiss the spray"
So bore her along through the summer air,
And she looked with a dreamy eye
At the brook, the pool, and the lilies fai:,
And she bade them all goodbye.
Next day my darlings voice was gone;
But her yearning spirit. eyes
Told how she longed for nameleHa boon,
And love made by guessing wise.
Again bore her beneath the trees,
Where their soft green shadows lay;
But darker shadow stole o'er my child,
And at sunset she passed away
