THE SUPREME COURT.

While hasty and extreme men show con-
siderable vexation at some recent decisions
by the Supreme Court, the more temperate
and sensible part Of the community, we are
glad to see, accepts them as inevitable, be-
cause in strict conformity with the Constitu-
ton. or course, when we accept the de-
cisions OF q court we do not take with them
the mere extrajudicial opinions which may
be added to them, and which possess no au.
thority or binding force.
At the same time there Is undoubtedly
considerable uneasiness in the country at
what Is called the attitude Of the Supreme
Court, and impatience at what is felt by
some to be its restraint Of possible congress
sional action. Those who feel thus should
remember that Congress Ia and ought to be
bound by the Constitution. and should act
within it and under II; that all constitutional
action on its part must, II appealed against,
be ratified by the Supreme Court, and doubt.
less will be. There Is no reason, ut least, to
believe otherwise. On the other hand, II
Congress passes laws not in accordance with
the Consultation, II must expect TO see It's
acts disallowed by the Supreme Court, when.
ever they are brought before that court for
decision; and with this every man who loves
lawful liberty should feel satisfed.-N y.

mend It TO the careful consideration Of the
rash and violent men who now control the

A PARLIAMENTARY BATTLE IN
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA-
TUVER

On Tuesday evening and wednesday
morning there occurred in the House of
Representatives one Of those struggles be-
tween the majority and the minority which
never fail to excite mingled feelings Of mirth,
admiration, contempt, pity and mortihca-
ton in those who are called to witness
them. Mr.. boutwell, had introduced q bill
which strikes deeply into the Judiciary as a
coordinate branch OF the Government, and
the previous question was ordered. The
minority members protested that they ought
to be allowed to debate the bill, but being
denied this privilege they determined to
avail themselves Of all the instrumentalities
furnished by parliamentary rules to secure
to themselves that privilege.
Accordingly. as our reports have shown,
they forced the majority, by dilatory mo-
tons, to q compromise, by which they were
allowed one hour for debate upon the bill
1t was Thermopyle fight and the opposi.
ton were the victors. Like nearly oil such
struggles, the proceedings were mainly
farcical, and, to the casual looker-on, un
statesman-like in the extreme. The battle was
conducted, however, in good temper, and or
the part Of the weaker party it was managed
with ability, and determined pertinacity
that commanded the respect Of their oppo'
nents.
During this sixteen hours session some
ludicrous scenes occurred. The city was
secured by the messengers sent after alb
sentees by the sergeantatArms, and the
excuses made by those who were captured,
and the reports made in respect to those who
could not be apprehended, were full Of fun
for the spectators; albeit the proceedings
were quite expensive to the public treasury
1t is hardly probable that the scenes Of Tues,
day evening and Wednesday morning will
be repeated during the present session.
