The p resident and the Supreme Court and
Reconstruction

The cases expected to come before the
United States Supreme Court shortly, in
volving the question of the constitutional
ity of the Reconstruction acts are giving
rise to q good many speculations. OF
course all stories protesting to unfold what
will be the decisions of the Judges on this
important question are entirely unauthor-
lied and based upon the judgments or i'm
aginations Of private parties. No one can
know in advance what will be the conclu-
sions of the learned judges. The latter
will hear both sides, and then make up
their decisions from the arguments and
legal presidents advanced, making little
allowance, of course, for tho political bias
of each of the judges.
But this may be said, that should the
supreme judicial tribunal of the land de-
clare unconstitutional the action of Con-
gress in enacting the rebel States out of
the Union, DISTINGUISHING white voters and
forcing negro suffrage and African supre
macy upon the people of those unhappy
districts, the course of the Executive may
De pretty certainly indicated even at the
present moment The President, in all
probability, would, in that event, hasten
to proclaim that the rebel States were never
out of the Union, and that, ergo, the peo-
pie of those States are still entitled to all
the civil rights (save and except property
in slaves) enjoyed by them anterior to the
acts of secession; that the subordination
of the civil to military authority has been
illegal, and must Immediately be abolished;
and that all the past action under the Con-
gressional reconstruction policy has been
null and void. Following this out to its
natural results he would, to be consistent,
have to recall the military governors. with
their numerous trains of satellites, and per-
haps would remove all semblance of mill
tary surveillance, save such as prudence
would suggest to be necessary to the pre-
servation of law and order, in view of the
alleged negro conspiracies and the sup
posed disaffection still of many of the
white residents.

The Visit of Mr.. Davis to Havana.

Mr.. Jefferson Davis, on arriving at Ha-
vana on the 25th ult., took rooms at the
Hotel Cubano. At night, accompanied by
the captain and purser of the steamer, Mr..
Davis and wife visited the Place Of Isabel
IL, and entering the Hotel Inglaterra, went
out on the balcony, where they passed a
few moments viewing the large crowd
promenading. Mr.. Guarco, the proprietor,
offered the best rooms in the house to Mr..
Davis, which were. of course, declined.
He insisted that Mr.. D. and party should
partake of champagne and other refresh
ments, and these they accepted. Mr.. Davis
and party then visited the Theatre Tacon,
where he was the cynosure of all eyes,
Numbers of persons called upon him at his
hotel, and were much pleased with his
manners and appearance. Mr.. d. was
never in better health. He was quite cour-
teous and is always dignifed. He spoke of
the Cuba as fine boat, said he had fine
trip, and really seemed to be in good
humor with the whole world. So says a
letter from Havana.
