The wellknown McArdle case will be ar
gued in the United States Supreme Court
about the middle of February. 1t had been
previously fixed for February 5, but Judge
Biasi. consented 70 postponement to accom-
modate Matt Carpenter, who is counsel for
the government. The question to be argued
is whether the law passed by Congress last
year, taking away the appellate jurisdiction
from the Supreme Court, is operative in this
case, which was pending in this court at the
time the law was passed. The McArdle case,
it viii be remembered, came u9 er parte from
the lower court in Mississippi where he was
imprisoned by General Ord'f virtue Of the
military power conferred5y., reconstruction
acts. If the Supreme Cout decide that the
act of Congress is retroactive and unconsti-
tutional as applied to case already pending,
then the court viii have an opportunity to
pronounce on the validity of military recon-
struction. 1t was well understood at the time
the act destroying the appellate jurisdiction
of the court in habeas corpus cases was passed,
that Congress intended to prevent decision
on the great question involved in the pending
McArdle case.
