simple. and involves only slight increase
Of trouble and labor over the ordinary
method of cooking: Pare the raw pOta-
toes and let them stand an hour or so in a
basin of water to which pinch of salt has
been added. Boil quickly. when done

New-York tribune., 1867-05-17

Some friends have written to ask if the Edi-
for of THE TRIBUNE does not propose to offer
any defense against the attacks and incivilities
to which he has been subjected for volunteer
ing TO stand security that Jefferson Davis will
bo on hand whenever the Government shall
see fit to put him on trial. He can only say
that, thus far, he has found nothing in these
scurrities that seemed to require an answer.
But, if he have any real friend who needs
further light on the subject he asks that friend
to read the speech which he made last Tues
day evening to large assemblage of the peo-
pie of Virginia, embracing tho Governor, most
of the higher Judges, with many other high
officials, and large proportion of the most
respected citizens. Those who shall read that
speech attentively will have all the explana-
ton that we care to give or can imagine
requisite and if there be any still dissatisfied,
they are abundantly welcome to remain 80.
We have worked hard many years to little
purpose if many persons who partake. of the
spirit manifested in the columns of The Eren-
ing Post and of The Commercial still remain
among our habtual readers.

riots as that at Mobile last Tuesday,
but that may safely be left to the law itself to
subdue.
The sole hope of those who thought that direct
resistance might be made, was in opposing to
one branch of the Government cO0rdi-
nate branch-in putting the Supreme Court
against Congress. All the traditions OF the
Supreme Court were in their favor; but,
as it has proved the law is not Even the
Attorney General, confessing that his sympa-
thies were with those who denied the constl-
tutionalfty of the law, was obliged to op-
pose the suits brought by his friends.
The Georgia injunction biz was dis
missed, on the main ground that the Court
had no jurisdiction in the matter, and yester-
day the motion for leave to amend the Mis-
sissippi BILL so as TO Obvae certain legal 0bJec-
tions, was refused by majority of the Court, and
the bill dismissed Thus ends the solitary hope
of multiplying the laws of Congress and the Will
of the loyal people. In law the question
is settled, we presume, forever; in fact, 1t
can only be illegally disputed by rot
or new rebellion. We are not sorry that this
attempt was made to set aside the Recon-
etuction law by means of the Supreme Court,
for its failure must convince oil the
citizens of the Rebel States of the absolute
necessity of submission. They know now, IL
they did not before, that the will OF the people
is not to be turned aside by quibble, and
that the method of reconstruction is fixed
New-York tribune., 1867-05-17
THE sUPREME COURT AND THE SOUTH

The Supreme Court adjourned yesterday till
December, but before closing the session set
tied, finally no doubt, the attempt to prevent
the enforcement of the Reconstruction law.
The history of the injunction bills is one of
weakness, legally and morally. When, over
the veto of the President, Congress passed
the supplementary Reconstruction bill, the
South yielded at once. Such q law had
been known to be inevitable; more than this,
it was felt to be just. There were few men in
the Rebel States who did not well know that
over their heads hung the sword; that the
United States had the right and the power to
impose oil the penalties of treason. and that
confscation and the division of lands were
punishment from which ut least no
legal appeal could be made. The ex-
tent of the punishment was question
of morals more than of law, of generosity more
than of justice Davis, Stephens, Lee, john
ston, Hampton, were all men whose lives and
property the Government held ut its mercy.
1t spared the men, it spared the property, and
the terms it finally required were felt not to
be so much punishment IA q precautiOn.
Therefore, when the South was placed under
temporary military rule, when the ballot
was given to the Freedmen, and the
method of restoration was prescribed the South
was ready to yield, and did yield quietly,
though there were men and journals who did
their utmost to organize resistance Lee, John
ston. Hampton counselled submission; most of
the Southern Governors advised the people of
their States to take part in registra-
tion and formal opposition began and
ended with Gov. Sharkey Of Mississippi and
Gov. jenkins OF Georgia. More dangerous
opposition, it is true, is embodied in the
brutal murders of negroes we havo from
week TO week reported and in such bloody

Cen Frank Blair, having appealed TO the
Supreme Court of Missouri to protect him
against the refusal of the election judges to
receive his vote-a refusal consequent on his
indispostion to take tho Constitutional
Oath-that Court has in most ediiylng
manner decided against him. 1t aflrms the
decision of the Circuit Court to which BLAIR
first applied, aud thus asserts that the test

Court also refers to the extra judicial and
worthless opinions which have been at

L. S. Supreme Court against the test
oath This can affect the subject only III ITS
relation to preachers, attorneys, and law
yers, whose livelihood might be impaired or
destroyed by the strict enforcement OF the law.
For the rest, the Court holds that constitutions
ality of the oath is in every way pertinent to
the mass of voters. Mr.. Blair may be anxious
to trust his case before another Supreme Court;
but the three or four ermined fogies on the
bench at Washington will ponder long
before they decide that Missouri cannot
protect its franchise against treason.
