the President and his subordinate officers from
the execution of these Southern reconstruction
Jaws OF Congress. They ask that the Supreme
Court shall declare these laws unconstitutional,
and therefore void; that the Thirty-ninth Con-
gress was, and that the Fortieth is, an Illegal
body; that all the acts of these two Congresses
az least must be considered spurious, the
late Rebel States being excluded from any
voice therein; that the Constitutional amend
ment abohshing slavery is a nullity; that
each state, therefore, Is free to establish
slavery, and that as none of the excluded
states had any voice in the question of
the war debt Of the Union, they are
Under no obligations to assist in pay
ing IT; that. what they did under Presi-
cent Johnson's policy OF reconstruction, they
did voluntarily; but that, recognizing no Con-
sttutional amendment on the subject of the
war debt, they are not bound even by their
promises TO Mr.. johnson, inasmuch as both
Presluent ana congress are subject to State
sovereignty.
On appearing yesterday before the Supreme
Court to submit this bill of complaint and this
prayer for an injunction, Judge Snarkey was
promptly met by the Acknowledgement of the
United States, MIR. Staubery, with the remark
that the first thing in order was to obtain leave
to hle the bill, and he desired, at the earliest
possible moment lin behalf of the United States)
TO object to it, Judge sharkey replied that that
was the motion he made--to file his bill. He
was aware of the magnitude of the subject, in
Volv1ng as 1t did the important and delicate
question of the consttutionaty of Congress
sloDal legislation. But he desired an early de-
cision, as much mischief might result from
delay. Mr. Stanbery was ready to resist the
granting of the leave. Judge sharkey filed his
application, and the question went over until
next otion day, FRIDAY next.
The presumption is that the application will
be denied by the Court on the ground of no
Jurisdiction. We cannot imagine how any oth =
decision can be reached. The petition, ther-.
fore, may result in great service to the South
and the whole country in setting this question
OF reconstruction beyond any further legal
bubbles and distractions; and this, perhaps,
may be the real object of the petitioners. The
arguments OF the opposing counsel the
opinion, which will probably be delivered by
Chief Justice Chase, will, at all events, from
the gravity OF the subject, be waited for with
the deepest interest by all parties throughout
the length and breadth of the land.

No one opposes Murphy because he has any in
uence in favor of anything, but because he is the
very worst possible man that could be selected for
the position. His notorious dishonesty in Oregon
has more to do with the o. S. N. Co. opposing
him for Governor than any Influence" he has,
Boise City Statesman.
The above comes with peculiar grace from a
paper which contains on the same page laudatory
notice of Senator Nye of Nevada, who is notori.
Gus for his rank dishonesty in, every relation in
ile-be it political, business, or whatever else.
But to pass to others, even more disreputabe than
Nye, who are upheld and applauded by the States
man. Right here in this Territory there is Secre.
tary Hewlett, whom Reynolds has as good as de-
clared perjurer and forger, and did denounce as
a thief and all this only few weeks ago. Yet,
now, Reynolds is his champion. He daily associ.
ates with and admires the men who murdered and
robbed Updyke, and who still sport some Of the
stolen property. He applauds Ben. Butler, the
most shameless thief in the world; he rejOices
over the election of Simon Cameron, who reeks
with corruption at every pore; and he has no
words other than of praise for any and all of the
numerous great scoundrels-proven to be-whO
belong to and hold high place in his own party.
But in the case Of Murphy, against whom he has
no proof to sustain single charge OF rOng.dong,
he can indulge in vile insinuations, and expend
columns of denunciation why? Simply because
Murphy is Democrat, and, as Governor of Idaho,
if confirmed, may not bring grist to Reynolds
mill. Murphy stands head and shoulders above
the majority of men in Office in your party, Mr.

If necessary to secure your reelection, remain

"Yote for and elect him, and hallreward
you; oppose and defeat him, and you shall
