The investigation of the Judiciary
Committee of the U. s. House of Repre-
sentatives into the question of the ex-
pressions of Justice Field, as to the I'M
coustitutionality of the Reconstruction
acts, has developed mares nest, and
far more than was expected or desired
The New York Herald says: THE
chairman of the committee, Mr.. Wilson,
OF Iowa, thorough Radical, was called
to the stand as witness, and he testified
that not only Mr.. Field, but Mr.. Justice
Davies, and, what is more astounding,
Chief Justice Chase had pronounced the
pending Reconstruction bill unconstitu-
tional. The great High Priest of the
radical church, the Radical candidate for
the Presidency, the Chief Justice himself,
declared in private conversation the bill
unconstitutional What bombshell this
will prove in the Republican camp
