hideous military farces of the war and
condemns as ga Matching place for
treason, the national tribunal which
declare the constitution the supreme Ii
law in time Of peace as in time of war J
feeling of distrust in regard to that
body is rising in the wind of Con- |
gress, and before long we expect to
see bill introduced for its abolition.
Indeed we are already told that Thad.
Stevens has prepared bill providing
for the ratification of the constitutional
amendment by three fourths of TWEEN
ty-six States and another declaring |
that the result Of the war was to invest
the North with all the powers ola
conqueror, and all the rights OF con-
quest over the South. and to take rom
the Southern States all their rights as
States.
The Supreme Court has proven itself
still possessing titality and must there
fore be reorganized under such
men as Butler, Fred Douglass and
Bingham. The revolutionary plan has
been checked, and radical lawlessness
and outrage trembles. The Judges
who rendered the decision are to be
impeached and removed, and venal
and unprincipled men, who are willing
to acknowledge the power of the
6exernment outside of the Constltu-
ton, placed in their stead. a.
Overriding a1a<subverting the su-
preme law will be found the greatest
undertaking of all. Other imPediments
in the path of anarchy may be rolled
aside, but this august tribunal, gov
erned by sound principles and justice,
cannot well be reconstructed so as to
do the base work demanded by the de
spotic usurpers assembled in Washing

We hail the decision with delight.
