WELL informed foreign correspondents
say good many Englishmen are so dis
gusted with the Russian cession tha6 they do
not hesitate to declare themselves in favor
of letting the territory of the Hudson's Bay
company and even Canada go, if the United
States will only pay anything decent for
them. In spite of the forced serenity of the
British press, John Bull is quite unable, as
yet, to understand the business. And the
secresy in which it was managed, thatis the
mortifying part of the affair. When ques,
toned, Lord Stanley was forced to declare
he knew nothing about it, but had to tele.
graph to Washington for particulars. The
question occurs to the English mird-what
is going to turn up next2 America makes

The Mississippi Petition.

The opinion of the Supreme Court in the
case Of the Mississippi petition to prevent
the execution of the Reconstruction bill by
the President, is trenchant aud conclusive
The sole question, according to the court, is,
can the President be restrained from carry
ing into effect an act Of Congress alleged to
be unconstitutional The Chief Justice
who delivered the opinion, in the first place
considered the assumption that in the press
ent case the Presidential duty was merely
ministerial, and showed that it was not min
isterial or mechanical, but executive or with
discretion.
lie proceeded to say that all precedent
proved the general judgment of the profes.
sion to be that no such application as that
OF the State of Mississippi should be enters
tanned. The court certainly could not inter-
tere to prevent the passage Of an unconsti-
tuhonal law even when the purpose is evil
dent and the execu ution certain, and vet the
principle is the same as that of interposition
to prevent the execution. Again, suppose
the injunction allowed, the court can not
enforce it. Suppose the President complies
and declines to execute the law. The House
OF Representatives might then impeach him.
Could the Supreme Court then dissolve the
Senate sitting rs court of impeachment 2
These questions, SAID the Chief Justice, an {.
swer themselves, and the motion to file the
bill is denied.
There is one sentence in the opinion which
tells truth that should be perfectly famil-
lar to every citizen of this country, which
seems to be often forgotten. The Congress
is the Legislative department of the Governs
ment. he President is the executive de-
partment. Neither can be restrained in its
action by the judicial department, though
the acts Of both when performed are, in
proper gases, subject to its cognizance.'- =
That is the true theory of the function of
the court. The assumption of the Missis.
sippi petition is, that the Supreme Court is
the Government HGrper's Weekiy.
