premo Court was crowded To hear
/ the Injunction argument,
The Supreme Bench was full, and
many lawyers We're present. MI
Stanbcrry opened, promising that he
would treat tho question dividing
the country in legal aspect The
political questions dividing the
country arc not to be discussed here,
but for clear understanding ofthc
subject it is necessary to know what
tho acts of Congress are of which
the States complain, as working ex-
elusive injury and dcpriving them
of constitutional rights. He cx-
plained the reconstruction laws, re-
marking that the States lately in re-
bellion have no republican govern
mcnts. Congress made provisions
to form such governments. The re-
suaints are demanded by complain
ants for stopping Grant, Stanton
and other high officials. He main
tanned that this was no case pro-
vided for by the Constitution to
come before this Court, The con-
troversy was not with these men as
citizens, but as high officials and not
within the jurisdiction Of the Court
or within either the reason or the
spirit of the Court. He dwelt on
damaging consequences of q vote by
n ;udiciol tribunal selected for life
and beyond control. The inquiries
set forth in the COMPLAINT were only
contingent and might never harren
in consequence. He argued that 1t
was political case curable only by
political remedies. O'Conner al
lowed that the complaint was to
show that it was ordered by Con-
gress and was in length and breadth
unconstitutional and void, and there
fore the Court ought to order in
functions in general terms. Gcor-
gia occupied a position in the body
polite and incorporate, and the
Court of Equity could prevent or
restrain any attempt to devert from
the purposes of its corporation or
violation of its charter, and took is
sue with 2Lg, Stanberry's assertion
that the ,rYiischiois complained of
were contingent and might never
happen. The parties named in the
complaint had already taken steps
towards enforcing the laws com
planned of as unconstitutional. The
further hearing was postponed until
next Friday, when RobcrtJ. Walker,
Esq, will plead in behalf of Missis-
sippi, and Stanburry will close.

the remarks in Senator Wilson's s late
speech at Hampton Roads, in which
he said, there would be no impodi-
ment to Southern representation in
Congress if they elected loyal men
and Stevens in his letter says no
man should make promises for the
party. BY what authority does any
one say that by the election of loyal
delegates they will be admittedH-
By what authority does Virginia
call for an election of loyal Senators
when there is no Virginia? He con-
cluded as follows: Who is author
lied to travel and pcddle amnesty
would say to the guilty, expect
punishment and then quiet, but not
without a mild confiscation to pay
those who have been robbed by des-
perate men. These are my wishes,
and perhaps mine only.
New YORK, April 27.-Paris jour
nails assure the public there will be
no war about LuXcmburg, as a
peaceful solution of the difference
was about to be found. The u

Grand Duchy, as such aproposition
would not be accepted on either side
ofthe Rhine. On the other hand,
foreign correspondents TO London

avoided for the moment, it is certain
to come. 1t is said that Bismarck

Monk prefers immediate war as
Prussia is quite prepared, and has
three chances to one over France.
