This decision creates intense excitement and it
is claimed by the President that the Constitutional
Amendment abolishing slavery will yet be de-
clared a nullity. The movement that will be
started for the impeachment OF several OF the
Justices will meet with favor in the House, where
there are number of military officers ready to
folyo no q a.
tion but in the Senate there are no soldiers, and
any movement toward the impeachment would be
hopeless. Stevens is preparing some stringent
measures to protect the country from the evil
tendencies of the Supreme Court, but he will find
it very difficult to do SO, as the Senate will not
pass his measures.
