that, considering the we'll known defect
ofthose sections OF the Reconstr uotlon
acts referring 10 the Jurisdiction OF the
civil courts, the Supreme Court will I'M.
doubtedly render an opinion In the case

bunal before which he was tried and
convicted. The result OF the consulta-
lion was, OF course, u decision TO abide
by the final action Of the Court, but Il
Is generally understood that this nual
action Will not BIO promulgated by the
Court until after Congress meets, No
one pretends 10 deny the fact Of Yer.
gers guilt; bnt both Democrats and
Republicans admit that be ought to be
tried by competent Constitutional au-
thority, and conseq the expected
decision Of the Supreme Court will be
received with Subtraction by all parties
concerned.
What the President Thinhs OF II.
In this connection It IL proper 10 add
that the rumora regarding President

dates Of the Courts are proved 10 be
false BY the fact that It has been In his
power to execute YeTger's sentence at
any time since It was forwarded for
approval. Instead OF doing 30, how
ever, he has anxlously couried the In
Prevention Of the Judiciary, Tor the pur.
pose OF being governed In his actions
BY The highest authority which conld
possibly be interested In the case, Il
Is, therefore, probable that, In due
course OF time, YerRer will be turned
over to the civil authorities for trial.

A gentleman who has had an inter.
view with the President within the past
twenty-tour hours, represents that he
manifested extreme anger at the course
OF hia brother.iu-lawI Mr.: Corbin, with
reference to the late financial playful
ness on Wall street, and that the more

with the gold panic, the high.
est officers here do not hesitate 10 say
that they believe him clearly guilty Of

against him are true. ..0..

President and some members OF the
Cabinet, that change In the So b.treas-

be removed without delay. It Is be-
lieved that his resignation will be re-.
ceived tomorrow. II Ia even possible
