New-York tribune., 1867-04-27

The Attorney General in his argument iu
support of the motion TO dismiss the Mississippi
and Georgia injunction bills-which we print
to day-plainly says that all his political sym
pathies are with his judicial opponents
These sympathies, however have not prevented
Mr.. Stansbery from clearly and fOrcibly pre-
senting the legal reasons why these bills should
not be argued before the Supreme Court. His
first objection, if considered valid by the
Court, makes the others unnecessary, and
is alone sufficient ground for the dis
missal of the suits. That objection is that the
power of the Court to determine controversies
between State and citizen of another State,
does not give it jurisdiction in these suits,
which, though in terms placed within its
jurisdiction, are, in fact, without it. The suit
of Georgia, the Attorney General argues, is
not brought against Gen. Grant as a citizen
but as an officer of the United States; not, in
fact, against Mr.. Stanton, but against the Sec
retary of War. Further, it is suit against
Congress. "If there is power in this Court"
says Mr.. Stansbery, to veto laws which the
people consider wholesome and necessary, and
Instruct their Representatives TO pass, it is
"high time that they should know it but such
!" q power mas never DtIOIe Dttu inNOheu.' III
this it is not argued THAT where the rights of
ian individual are outraged by unjust laws he
may not appeal to the Court for protection,
and Mr.. Stansbery appears 10 give Mr..
Jenkins of Georgia the hope that after the law
is executed he may properly bring a suit before
the Court but he denies that the laws
of the United States can be nullifed by the
Court before they are executed, and upon the
mere hypothesis that they viii work injury to
individuals. The whole case OF Georgia, in his
own words, is an uncertain contingent, and the
real point at issue is declared to be beyond the
jurisdiction of the Court, and only to be de-
eided by the people Of the ability of this
argument there can be no question, and it viii
do much to remove the vague suppO-
sition that the Supreme Court possesses
the power to determine any question
that may be brought before it, and even
TO nullify at its pleasure the acts Of the co6rdi-
nate branches of the Government. How far
Mr. O'Conor succeeds in his effort to prove
that while the Judiciary cannot annul

and defense are numerous and sharp enough
without a resort to the ambuscade OF slander
and the poison of calumny. The infirmitics OF
human nature are always the same and
there is no cessation in the demands upon
oar charity. Ii is with great and grave
political errors that we can afford to keep 10
terms, and upon the rectificaton of these our
zeal can bomost prolitably expended. The pi-
vate characters of public men are usually no bet
ter and no worse than those of their less obtru-
sivc ncighbors; but the servant of the State
always in the eye of his employers, and liai 10
TO be ccnsured for errors which the obscure
successfully conceal. If We claim the credit
of honesty for ourselves there is no reason WY
we should refuse it TO an antagonist There IS
such o thing as charitable intolerance. NOR Is
pity inconsistent with indignation and con-
tempt 1t is natural to be angry with an
who swallows veto after veto, and then, like
Oliver Twist, calls for more" but there Is q
nation in Africa which subsists upon dirt
there is another nation in Asia which sub
ssts upon entrails; and if nature and circum-
stances have made the tastes of men differ
ent, it is fixed rule that about them there
can be no dispute Errors of opinion, which
must be resolutely refuted; if there be bad
motive for bad vote, that, too, is fair game;
if statesman be guilty of gross and glaring
Inconsistency, he puts his reputation either Tor
honesty or good judgment upon trial; ana II
man be unmistakably an ass in his public re-
lations, nobody can be expected to call HIM
Solon Whatever the politician takes into the
arena he must expect to find criticized
whatever he docs as a public creature ne
must expect to have publicly weighed and
passed upon; but he may reasonably complain
when fifty caterers for the newspapers make
him daily cynosure, the subject of malicious
conjecture and the object of curious suspicion.
AS we must, in self-governing Republic, have
more or less to do with politics, as we must
make the affairs Of the nation a matter OF
daily concern, it becomes us to keep our con-
tests as cleanly as possible, and to dignity, if
we can, the business upon which so much OF
our happiness depends. Principle is one thing
and personality is another; and he who cannot
find errors enough to combat in the "pollcy"
of the President must have an unbOunded
stomach for fighting.

not definitely sold to France was the insult

that the Dutch Minister at Washington has

LEGLSLATITE TILL1INY.

Mr.. George Wilkes has rendered the cause OF
honest legislation signal service by his ex-
posure of the circumstances under which his
charter for the Lower California Company was
obtained from our late Legislature. We have
waited long enough TO see that the brazen
champions of legislative venality will not at-
tempt to dispute the accuracy of his blasting
inculpations. Taking the case, then, as con-
fessed, we recall attention to its leading facts,
and to the light they cast on the machinery
and processes of legislative corruption.
Certain American citizens, including such
eminent Radicals as Gen. b. F. Butler, and
such conspicuous Democrats as August Bel
mont have purchased grant 6r concession
by the Mexican (Juarez) Government of certain
territorial and business rights in the peninsula
of Lower California. Under this concession,
they propose TO plant colonies, open mines,
construct roads, improve harbors, &c.-opera-
tions which may enrich or impOverish them,
but cannot fail in any case to create consid-
erable markets for the implements machinery,
food, &c., which they must mainly export
from this country. Should they succeed-and
they are hardly the men to embark In o thrift
less enterprise-they must sensibly increase
the commerce Of this and other American
cities.
This Company applied at an early day to our
late Legislature for an act of incorporation.
IL was the clear interest Of our State that this
act should d be passed. If Incorporated here,
the Co,npany's main Office would naturally be
opened here its business would be transacted,
its purchases made here; 1t would help pay our
