Although there is no question as to the fact that
it would be lawful for the Supreme Court to
grant the injunction prayed for, yet is
1t very doubtful whether the interests of the South
would be best subserved thereby or not, and some

wherefore, they at oncesgot into danger again by

the insane attempt to make foz tune out of the
