The raQlcalS are raising

Stevens has prepared bill providing
for the ratification of the constitutional
amendment by three-fOurths OF TWEEN

that the result of the war was to invest

The Supreme Court has proven itself
still poss essing vitality 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
Government outside of the COnstitu-
ton, placed in their stead.
Overriding and subverting the SUI
preme law will be found the greatest
undertaking ofall. 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
for it shows that the highest judicial

us of abolition misrule and restore the
country to. it's wonted healthy and
prosperous condition. To quote from
the Day Book, we should not despair
of getting out of our present chaos
''The mills Of the gods grind slowly
but they grind exceedingly fine" The
task that the present party in power
has undertaken to do is too much fol
them. They not only desire to turn
negroes into white men, but in order
to do that, they are compelled to as
sail our own republican system Of
government, and even to overthrow
the monuments of freedom which have
been erected, even in monarchical
countries, for the protection of per
sonal rights. Depend upon it, they
cannot accomplish the half, or even
any, of this permanently. We believe
they are now at their eliminating
point. Many of their shrewdest lead
ers would now gladly stop, if they
could, but the fate of Beecher, and all
others who have attempted to stay the
torrent of human passion which they
have aroused, stares them in the face
To stop is death to go on is destruc,

evil day as long as possible. Come il
