The New York Herald Of the 10th saws:
"A few days since the question was raised
whether the Supreme Court, now that the
rebellion wao over, would Take upf those
cases thus set onsi side, ,iht, whether theys
and try thcm In their regular ofSler: also
whether they should take cognizanoe of the
court organized since the close of sHs rebel
lion the same as in the Northern Shtes.r
This of course brought up tho question M
fnct, as 70 the status of the Southern States.
Y'lsfber States or Territories, A written
q pm. was rendered by the Conrt, decid.
ing sha IL would try those cases set onv'
side during th" war, and try them in their
order, whenever parties interested appeared
before shc Court. ALSO, that cognizance
would be taken Of all questions brought up
f'om tho existing courts in those States tho. :
same as from any other State. To this
opinion Chief Justice Chase announced i'm
court that he disagreed and did not concuf.
Chase stood alone The associate Justices.
were OF one mind-nlT concurrel in that
opinion and overrulcd the Chief Justice.
His dissenting, standing rs he did alone,
does not effect anything. II is therefore.
settled against him, and The Supreme Court
from this time forth trcn,s those States hs

their status as such.
This decree is q direct Iebuke 10 the re-

or step towards an carly restoration. Now
the question is, will the rcvolutionists i'm
Congress still persist in their efforts to yio-

treating the Southern Stntes MS Territoriest :
This decree places The radicals in the posi-
tion before tho country as royolntionists in.
reality The only way that they can avoid
that position is, to take the back track and.
support the Presidents policy. Unles,
they do that, they arc engaged in rebellion,
just M much as tho Southern secessIonists,
were when they originated the Southern re-
oellion. This is the position, that they
stand in before the country in the light. Of
