OVERLAND DISPATCHES
synopsis Of Attorney General Staubury's
Argument In tho Georgia and Missia.
sippi Injunction Case.
WASHINGTON, May Elm the Supreme
Court, this afternoon, the Attorney Gem
eral closed his argument in the Georgia
and Mississippi cases. He spoke as to
the general principles involved, and de-
nied, as heretofore, that these cases had
place il Court. They were not within
the jurisdiction Of a Court Of Equity.
There WAS in them no basis On which
relief could be given. Georgia and Mis-
sissippi, according to the bill filed, un-
dertook to speak for all the people be-
sides Of the ten Southern States over
which the Reconstruction Acts were to
operate. Only two were here. II was
not known, to the contrary, that the
remaining States were,.dissatisfed. They
hadn't presented any bill Of grievances.
The law gives a civilian the right to
| vindicate himself, and he could do this
as successfully as the States could for
him. The counsels on the other side
had invoked the Court to save their lib
critics from destruction and to preserve
the integrity of the States on whose be-
half they appeared; but, said the Attor-
new General, there was no inherent
power for that purpose in this Court,
for Congress might 81 act as to destroy
the efficiency of the Court BY impeach-
ing the Judges on false accusation and
By denying the salaries requisite for
their support. 1t rested with the peo-
pie, however, to secure tho honesty and
right doing Of the Legislature, and on
this basis one must look for the preser-
walton of the rights Of citizens and OF
the guaranteed rights Of States.
No further proceedings took place on
the question before the Court adjourned
Immediately on the conclusion OF
Stanbury's argument.
