livered an opinion of the Court in
the OK partc cases OF Garland and
Moor, who having taken n part in
the rebellion, ask to be readmitted
TO practice in tic Court, and holds
that as the statute imposes u punish
ment for an oficncs which may not
have been punishable ut the time
tho offence was committed, it is in
it's nature an e.rpoSt facto law. At
torneys are not officers ofthe United
States, they are officers ofthe Court,

behavior, the Court is not the Reg
lister ofthe edicts ofany other power,

from the President which relieves
them from the consequences of their
offences, and make them citizens in
the eye Of the law, what it was be-
fore it was committed. Congress

tive restrictions. 1t follows that
tho prayer of the petitioner must be
granted, and also that the prayer Of

be rescinded, and the order is made
accordingly. Associate Justice Mil
