THE SUPREME COURT.

A NEW. FOE 10 FREEDOM.
The people Of this country have just
put their foot upon the recreant John
son, and taught him and his allies, that
they cannot stop the onward march OF
popular Freedom. Nov there starts up
in an unexpected direction 4 new ally
of the fallen despotism. 1t 10 the un-
foreseen pro-slsveTy majority of the
Supreme Court. Chief Justice fancy
came out with his infamous bred Scott
decision just in time to bolster up the
contemplate tyinnnies of James Bu
channn. And now David Davis, the
the cats-paw of the ,hunker.judges,
comes out with new pro. rebel deci-
sion, just in season TO save if possible
the fallen fortunes Of bread and butter
Johnson. Since the ;ruc-heartcd Chase
took Taney's place, we had accustom-
ed ourselves to think, that all was safe
and sound in our Supreme Court. But
it seems otherwise; Tor we now find
five cut of the nine Justices Oh the Sc
cession i lie.
4 case OF appeal from Indiana has
brought tie thing to head. One Mil
lisan was tried aud convicted by mill
itary commission; bat the Supreme
Court, through this redoutab!c d. y.
david Davis now decides that the
military commission was anc0ustttu-
t;onm, and thereupon sets the convict
ed Milligan free /! From this it follows,
that all the military commissions have
been void, and the whole doings of
these past years must be ripped up i'm
favor OF the rebels But this is only
the starting Of the leak. The copper
heads Of the country are jubi!ant, and
declare that the Supreme Court Will
soon pronounce the absence of South
ern Members from Congress to be uu-
constitutional, and all Congressional
action in their absence void. johnson
even claims, that The Emancipation
Amendment itself will soon be Judged
unconstitutional! To such astounding
fooler:cs are our astutc Jtast-GsscS lead
ing Us on.

unreasonably when he, states that the

The Happy Observation-Disclosures
in Congress

In a discussion in Congress on Thurs
the day, onthe new Reconstruction bill,
following passage occurred:
Mr.. Schenck argued that his under
standing of the bill was correct.
Mr.. Bingham asserted that II was
not.
Mr.. Schenck said he expected to get
such a Hat denial as that from the gem
tleman from Ohio, who was one of those
men who know everything, and sup
posed no one else knew anything.
Mr.. Bingham, referring TO Mr.
Schenck's remark, did not see why that
gentleman should undertake TO snub
everybody and say that be, Bingham,
knew everything. If he did know eve
rything, he would not have asked for
information.
Mr.. Sehenck corrected him by saying
that he, Bingham, had asked him no
questions, but interrupted him by say
ing it was no such thing. a.
Mr. Bingham remarked that he ex-
cused his colleague, for he was not hin-
s,lf tonight.
Mr.. Schenck did not know what his
colleague meant by that remark, but
he, Schenck, was better satisfied to be
what he was than 80 egregiously mis-
taken as his colleague, in forgetting his
very offensive manner.
Mr. Bingham declared he was ipcapa-
BILE of misrepresenting his colleague,
baf Eaer he rds Not himself to-Right.
MIR. Stevens expressed the hope that
the reporters would omit anything said
tonight about any member being drunk
