THE POWERS OF THE SUPREME
COURT

The New York Tribune is the only
paper of note that has essayed an argu-
ment in behalf Of the proposed encroach-
ments by Congress on the judicial depart
ment Of government Itdenies the power
of the Supreme Court to review the con-
stitutionality of the laws of Congress.
The reasoning by which it supports this
position lacks the customary acumen
which that paper employs in treating
topics Of like character while its effort
to justify the bill to modify and limit its
jurisdiction is puerile and sorry even to
contemplating
The Federalist papers, Nos so and 81,
leave nothing in doubt as to the extent
Of the powers conferred by the constitu-
ton on the Supreme Court They con-
tain a profound and exhaustive examina-
ton Of the objects of such tribunal in
a government with limited constitution,
and Of the objections which were urged
in l7SS to that feature of our organic
law; as well as a clear statement of the
character and extent Of the powers gwen
to it. The very grounds Of opposition to its
Just authority that are now urged by those
whose political schemes need to evade
it, are deliberately argued and disposed
Of, viz. that it can ain the cases Of law
which are committed to II, construe them
by the constitution, and by this process
defeat the legislative will The great
authors sum up this point by saying,
Opp. 800 that the constitution ought to
be the standard of construction for the
laws, and wherever there is an evident
opposition, the laws ought to give place
to the constitution" And they proceed
to say also if there are such things as
political axioms, the propriety of the
judicial power of government being co
extensive with its Legislative, may be
ranked among the number The mere
necessity of uniformity in the interpre>
tation of the national laws, decides the
question They further say, that the
jurisdiction of the court extends to all
cases in which the United States
are a party Controversies Opp. 365)
between the nation and its members
(the States), or citizens, can only be props
erly referred to the national tribunals.
Any other plan would be contrary to
reason, to precedent and to decornm.'
The Radical press are republishing the
sophisms Of the Tribune, and using them
to repel the attacks made on Congress for
its fragrant attempt to estop the Supreme
Court from judicial examination of the
reconstruction laws by the light of the
constitution. Hamilton and Madison
have, however made the point too clear.
McCardle has the right TO be heard be-
fore the Supreme Court, and in the de-
termination of the question presented
in his case, the power of Congress to
make the law under which he is held to
answer, can be considered The refusal
of Congress to abide the decision, and its
attempt to lorestall and prevent any de-
cision, will be pronounced by the sober

Tan white Radicals in the Louisiana
Reconstruction Convention are endeavor-
ing to engraft in the constitution that
may be adopted by that body, an article
making a sweeping Acknowledgement o;
the white people Of that State who are
not identified with the Radical party.
An article of this character came before
the convention on the 23d inst, aud one
of the strongest speeches made against
il was by negro delegate The negro
delegates in that convention generally
eYince a more liberal disposition than the
Radical whites, who feel that their only
hope depends on excluding the white
masses from the franchise.
