THE RECONSTRUCTION INJUHoTIoN CASES
The Georgia and Mississippi injunction case
were again before the Supreme Court yesterday
and Robert J. Walker spoke on behalf Of tn
State Of Mississippi three hours and half, max
ing. perhaps, as able an argument as could b
made against the constitutionality Of the law
He did not dscnss as fully as was generally OF
peoted the question Of tho Jurisdiction Of tn
court to interfere, by way Of injunction, to 70
strain the execution Of the laws. He oontende
that the Dorr rebellion, the controversy betwee
the State Of Massachusetts, and Rhode Island
and the case Of the United States Bank and 0!
born presented political questions for the consd
Grafton Of tho court; and that the present cases
although involving grayer consequences, were n
more political in respect to the questions pre-
sented than many others which had been hear
and decided In this court in times past.
Ex-senator McDougall regards the argumer
Of Mr.. Walker as unanswerable by any one, an
o. having said all that 1t Is possible to say o
bis side Of the case.
Ths courtroom was crowded, during the argt
mont, with members Of the bar and distinguishe
statesmen and lawyers from all parts Of tn
