HE SUPREME CeuRTs-Nany of the Southern peo-
pie seem to look TO the Supreme Court OF the United
States, for relief against the reconstruction measures
OF Congress. Under the late reconstruction b there
Is no power in the Supreme Court at the Instance of
any enc Of the States, to prevent the practical opera
ton of the law
1t IS difficult to understand how State Govern
ment can make out case for judicial action, when
sach action can onybe invoked in questions affecting
Ilsnts OF property, or at least, rights not absolutely
political The Supreme Court has already decided
That the power OF recognising State governments
political and not a Judicial question. Hence the
supreme Court cannot relieve the State against the
reconstruction bill, because it cannot be made sub
Ject tor judicial action. question may arise respect
ing the validity Of some of the of those es gna-
ted to execute the provisions of the bill but whether
the court will undertake to decide the political status
OF the States is matter OF grave and serious doubt
II the Court should take upon itself the responsibility
OF hxlnS the political relations of the States to the
Union, 1t would have power to enforce its decision,
aud OF course should be left Just as we now are.
Inc Supreme Court do Us no good, aud it is folly
to depend upon it. RI. O. Times.
