Governor Sharkey does not feel much encouraged
by the present prospects OF his injunction bill before
she Supreme Court He is convinced there Is inten
tion the part Of the Court to evade the responsibility

II will be deferred even II entertained. until deci-
sisn would avail nothing-until all the "mischief II
ID intended has been consummaied in the
plete overthrow OF the Southern States and the sde
struction" Herewith Of republican government In this
country, contemplated and prescribed by the federal
constitution But he declares in the most emphatic
ner the Court shall decide the questions involved in
the bill in form II be lives whether 1t be agreeable
TO the judges or otherwise that he will persevere IN
his purpose to that end while he lives and he should
die before his task is finished he will turn in his grave
to strengthen the hands Of those who continue the
struggle Liberty and law, he says be stricken
down in this country without TO protest,
without an effort to preserve them II he not
known and had not been known, at home, here and
everywhere unconditional Union man, from the
very outset of the troubles between the two sections Of
the country he would not have undertaken the cham
ponshp OF this of redress but being such and
always having been such. there be objection to
him personally in connection with the BILL
Now comes the final resort case defeat suffered

acknowledged that the alternative Is or win be suhci
emily startling and adequately potent to procure de-
csion the all important questions raised by the bill
presented. 1t is nothing less than the indictment,
and consequent arrest attempted arrest Of General
Ord the commandant of the district embracing Mssis
sppi for treason against the State Such proceeding
il Ia thought will result in compelling final determine

would appear so, for in such event there must be
judicial Interference and adjustment the exercise Of
military despotism in fact and in deed-the very charge
that made against the act II is sought 10 set aside

Governor sharkey regrets the supineness exhibited
BY many OF the Southern States and leaders, asserting
that in such weakness becomes general the South s

Tho constitution he declares has left nothing for
lecture or mistake the point involved There be
but one result when entertained by the Court II he
get hearing, the Court will but consent to OK

truth 10 mmutabe. and the provisions or the constsu

doubt having all confidence in the court when once
before IL
ks proper to add, q. was stated in this correspond
ence OF Saturday last that Governor Shakey specifically
denies that the President had anything whatever do
afio of fhah
He says that he incidentally spoke Of the late
strucon measures the President when calling upon
him. and that he at the told Mr. johnson that
he should ssuen him. Nothing further inerchanged
on the subject The idea that the President is concerned
in the matter had its in the fact that Governor
Sharey has been long here in advance Of his app
cation But that explained when II is stated that the
bill was in readiness when the court adjourned for its
recess and that the application deferred until after
she adjournment OF Congress for the greater safety
against interference by that body. The Governor
marks-'T did not intend 70 let Congress get a hit
