The correspondent OF the New York

to emasculats- the Supreme Court, or, iu
/ other words, TO render it powerless TO de-
eide on "politieAl question: thereby
meaning such questions as this Scallawae
Congress may determine to be political
says: - -
Mr.. Trumbull had been engaged in ar
euing a motion to dismiss the MeCardle
/ case for ant of Jurisdiction. He had Ia
( bored most assiduously to persuade the
! Court that it had DO jurisdiction in the
| matter; but success is not always pro-
/ portiened to effort in this world, and the
+ Court had the temerity to decide against
him. He heard the decision on Monday
morning, and in less than half an hour
after his ears had been regaled with its
! unweicome words, be rushed into the
/ Senate chamber with the bill referred to.

I Is quite fair to the legal brethren through

The New Orleans Bulletin gives the
following coIloquy, as an illustration OF

found Afr. Grant in the Patent Ofice
l examining some patent cigar holders.
Coed morning, Mr.. Grant"
ttBe you il the war Office now"
"No: I'm in the Patent Office now ;

"Yes. please give US q light; be you
I going to run for the Presidency, Mr..
/ Grant -
u slew seventy thousand men in the
battle Of the Wilderness, Mr.. Head"
/ 4" Yes which side vera them slowed
men fighting on, MIR. Grant ?''
Here he sat down, so as to smoke
easier That's all be said. Said l again,
1 q" Nj. Grant, folks don't know where
! yOu stand; do you?' He bit OF the end
/ OF the cigar and replied: "What hcss
did you bet on at the race the other
day?n Said I, lO0kin' ct him, Not the
| boss you're tryin' to ride, old fell" and
Thereby hangs tale " q
He III another sheroot, and / ssys,

dosvn South, could you and some other
Z woman send US down some tracts ?' "
! will speak 70 Mr.. Stanton, and II be
/ hasn't anything for me to do in the office
/ this afternoon, Ill get some cigars and
! take you out TO ride" I was satisfied by

he is q man more qualified As q man than
Anna Dickinson ever was. .-U

The evidences Of the superiority of the

As statesman, the wise constitutions
offered to the acceptance Of the people il
the southgrn States, together with tbs
debates in these different legislative bod

the higher walks Of legal life, and fol
prominent position under the best gov

nirable qualities, possessed by that race

abundant humanity is demonstrated By
bis quietly killing all the hogs in th'
Southern States, upon which he can lay
his hands, with the sole purpose of saw

trichinssis. A telegram from Texsi
/ says: .
Great complaints are received :daily
in this city in regard to the perseverinl

planters al through the country. Milct
