The Supreme Court of the United States, on
the Georgia Injunction case, has directed
subpoena to be issued in the name Of the Pres
ident commanding E. N. Stanton, Secretary Of
War, General Grant and General Pope, CON-
mander Of the Third Southern Military district,
comprising Georgia, Florida and Alabama, to
appear before the said Court on the first Mon
day In December next, and to fail not at their
peril, in order to answer the bill Of complaint
of the State Of Georgia in said Court exhibited
against them-the complaint being that these
officers, in executing the reconstruction laws OF
Congress, are trenching upon the constitutional
rights Of Georgia as State, and that accord
ingly an injunction should issue against them.
Tue Supreme Court, then, stands out of the
way till next December, and meantime the
President and these aforesaid subordinate
officers 20 on with the execution Of these laws.
If the Southern people are wise they will pro-
ceed with all convenient despatch to fulfil the
conditions laid down by Congress, and pay
No. se siis ht1ss atJention to any suggestions OF
mastery inactivity under the idea that in
| December the Court will come to their rescue
| for the Court will never undertake, upon legal

this Southern work Of Congress. Those South
| erners, meantime, who adhere to such leaders
as Sharkey, Walker and jeremiah Black, in
looking to the Supreme Court to relieve them
from the requirements of Congress, will only
be serving the radicals of the North in their
movements to build up a powerful branch O

The SQuabblo Over tho Spoils In the Senate.
President Johnson and the United States
Senate at this extra session on appointments
have been like "the balky team" described by
General Grant as he found it when called to
take in hand all the armies of the United
States-it has been one horse pulling this way
and the other pulling that way. Nearly one
half the Presidents appointments have been
rejected and in some cases, where single fat
office has been at stake, there have been from
two to half dozen reflections in succession.
The Brooklyn Post Office, the New York Naval
Office, the Philadelphia Collectorship and the
Austrian Mission are among the most promi-
nent cases of this description. Why all these
disagreements! According to Senator Howe,
at is simply because the President has not,
since the 1st of December, sent in men whom
the Senate would or could confirm" -A-a WY
mott because. according TO senator Cameron's
beii0G "the President would appoint only the
worst men willing to accept Office" On the
other hand, according to Senator Chandler,
certain Senators had said they were "willing
to give notice to the President that if he sent
in traitors and coppcrhcads they would vote
to confirm them"
Here we get at the root of the difficulty.
Called to name the Senators to whom he re-
ferred, MIR. Chandler named Senator Fessen.
den whereupon the latter replied that the
accusation that he had decla,ed him self willing
10 Ysse for copperhesds and traitors was not
true, which is putting the case according to
Parliamentary Law. Mr.. Fessenden then went
on to explain that. under the new Tenure OF
Office bill, all offices left vacant with the final
adjournment Of this session of the Senate
would remain vacant during the recess, though
it might last till December, and that great in
convenience might thus result to the people in
the matter Of vacant Custom Houses Post
Offices. &c. From this it would appear that
the President has been playing the Tenure of
Office bill against its radical inventors. and
has doubtless had an occasional chuckle in
his sleeve over the trouble he has given them
with it 1t is demoralizing game, however,
which, either side considered, is not worth the
candle. Only the board of Office brokers al

Tne sentence Ot A0MiraI PersapO.
Yesterdays cable dispatches informed MS
that the protracted court martial In the case of
Admiral Persano, who commanded the Italian
feet at Lissa, had at length been brought to
conclusion, and that the Admiral had been
cashiered the Italian naval service, on the
ground Of incapacity and disob edience.
The unsatisfactory and inconclusive results
Of the battle Of Lissa have never gone well down
with the Italian people. No sooner was the
war ended than the Admiral was brought to
trial for want Of courage point most vital
to man Of honor, but chiefly 30 in the case of
either soldier or sailor; but that charge II was
found impossible to sustain. Not to be de-
feated, his enemies had him srraigned on the
fresh charge Of incompetency and disobedience.
The result as we have seen, Is that, after a
protracted trial, the Admiral Is dismissed the
service. Whether Admiral Persano has been
made the victim Of calculating political expe-
diency on the one hand, and blind popular
fury on the other, or whether the sentence ia
just, time and facts must determine. Our in
formation Il too meagre TO enable us to pro-
nounce an opinion. High qualities Of fitness
and character are necessary in great public
servants; nor can II be denied that IL il the
duty Of nations 70 see that those qualities are
possessed and made manifest; but mere want
Of success ought never OF itself to be deemed
sufficient to consign public servant TO
oblivion or to doom him TO lasting disgrace.

We chronfcled yesterday one more point in
the story Of the mercantile activity Of Euro
pean Powers in the islands Of our American
archipelago. The re-establishmento Of q French
packet station at ST. Thomas, the construction
there Of floating dock Of vast proportions,
are facts in the commercial history of the
time that should be recorded on the reverse Of
the medal that commemorates the Intellectual
attempts we have made for the purchase either
Of st. Thomas or of the peninsula and bay
OF Samana. t
Mr.. Seward indulged in no idle use Of
figures when he told President Baes that the
West India islands were our natural buttresses
They are the outposts Of the power by which
we may make certain American ideas the law

in our side in other wars That, however, ID
only the lesson Of every day prudence. Look

America In the Paris Exposition.

The facts stated in our Paris letter yester-
day exhibit us in anything but a creditable light
before our industrial competitors at the Exhi-
biton. The American department is not only
behind all the others In arrangement, but the
greater part of its contributions are still boxed
up. For q practical business people, such as
we claim to be, this state of things Is extremely
humiliatng. Where does the fault lie ?
The contributors say not with them; for their
goods have been on the spot for some weeks
past If this be so the blame falls upon the
persons intrusted with the management OF the
department. II was their business to see that
everything was in readiness for the openin z,
ct least so far as the arrangement Of tie con-
tributions received was concerned. For the
default of those expected they cannot, Of
course, be held responsible. From the state
ments Of our correspondent they seem to have
had Sufficient on hand to make show, but did
not care to bestir themselves for the occasion.
The fact is disgraceful one, and the commits
sioners should be visited with severe censure.
absurdly large number Of persons commits
stoned to look after our interests. There are
but few really practical men among them, and
these have probably been overruled and
set aside by the talking, do-nothing portion
Of them. So great we are told, is the
disgust prevailing at this state Of things
that some of our contributors seriously con-
template sending back their goods. The effect
at this side is, as might be expected, very bad.
Hundreds who had been making their arrange
ments to 60 over to the Exhibition have been
so discouraged by the reports that have
reached them that they have given up the idea
altogether. The hotel keepers and merchants
Of the metropolis, who had been led to antici-
pate IN unusual depression Of business from
the Exhibition exodus, need not lose courage.
From all that we can learn the number of
persons leaving for Europe this spring by the
various steam lines is considerably less than It
was at the same period last year. The Great
Eastern, which can accommodate couple of
thousand passengers, and which calculated at
least upon half that number, takes out less
than two hundred, scarcely sufficient to pay for
the coal that she will burn ON the trip. Our
business people, therefore, need not feel any
despondency; New York will not be ruined by
the French Exhibition any more than the fail
ing fortunes Of Napoleon will be restored by it.

Crime has assumed some peculiar phases in
the city OF late which would indicate that
neither the hours Of daylight nor the publicity
of the location afford any protection against
violence, abduction aud murder. Three or
four cases Of great aggravation have occurred
within very short period that are calculated
to create no little alarm. Tae first of these
was that of gross felonious assault committed
upon q woman in hotel in Cortlandt street,
where it might be supposed that projection
was insured by the presence Of numerous
boarders an attaches. Still more recently an
attempt to murder school teacher in the
grammar school in Ninth street was made In
open day. A German grocer was murdered
In his own store in Broome street two or three
nights ago by some parties who entered from
the street and fell upon him while reading
newspaper. A shocking murder was commit
ted in James street early in the morning OF
Tuesday, the victim being the wife Of the
murderer. There were plenty ofpeople about
at the time, and two or three policemen were
soon on the spot, but failed to arrest the fugi-
tive There is dismal history connected with
this house. II is the same in which Ferris,
who expiated his crime on the gallows, MUIR
dered his wife, and in which man was mur-
dered some years ago by being thrown from
an upper window. Added TO this category Of
crime we have the abduction of young girl
in University place few mornings ago. which,
now that she has been recovered, although not
assuming the suspicious shape it did at frst,
shows pretty clearly that such things can be
done with impunity In our most crowded
thor oughiares.
We have no desire to rob the police of any
credit for efficiency, because, as general
rule, they perform their duties very we'll; but
we are afraid there must be . little laxity oc-
casionally, when two or three murders can be
openly committed within . few days in our
most public places. 81 c7a are
