The YERGER CAsE.-There seems to be great deal
of ignorance among the people to the status
of what is called the Yerger case now pending before
the United States Supreme Court A Washington dis
the right of Congress to establish civil State govern
ments in the South through military power and do not
ask that the court shall decide such question The
point they make is that the court has jurisdiction in
the matter OF habeas corpus any citizen who has
been tried for crime by military court in violation of
that section Of the Constitution which guarantees him
trial BY jury and that il this court enters into the de-
tails OF the law it cannot go further than to pronounce
that section of the reconstruction law unconstitutional
which provides for military trial and that it need not
go further and discuss the power Of Congress pro-
vide Tor State governments in the Southern States 1t
is with this kind of reasoning that counsel believe that
the writ will be granted in the Yerger case Parties
who are also lawyers say that the whole question OF
the eonstitutionaty Of the reconstruction laws must
necessarily up for decision by the court and that
any other view is mere legal quibbling."
Another correspondent, under date Of the 23d says
the case was up before special meeting of the Cab
let and the result decision to abide by the final
action Of the court but it is generally understood thai
this final action will not be promulgated by the court
until after Congress meets. No pretends to deny
the fact of Yergers guilt but both Democrats and Re
pubicans admit that lie ought to be tried by compe
'ent constitutional authority, aud consequently the ex
pected decision Of the Supreme Court will be received
with satisfaction by all parties concerned.
1t having been rumored about Washington for some
Time past that the intention of the President
Disregard the mandates of the Supreme Court, some
Of his friends contradict the report by stating that
been in his power to execute the Yegers sentence
any time since it was forwarded for approval and fur
Their add that instead Of doing be has anxiously
,ourted the intervention Of the Judiciary for the pur
of being governed in his actions BY the highest
authority which could possibly be interested IN the
'ase 1t is therefore, probable that in due course Of
lime, Yerger will be turned over to the civil authori.

taken the States of Virginia, Ten
hessee, Mississippi and Texas from
the control of the Radicals, but they
are now working dissension in the
ranks of the ruling party in PennA
sylvania, Ohio, Maine, Maryland,
Delaware and Massachusetts,. The
fact that those discussions exist,
and are largely caused by the pres
idential appointments, Joined to the
fact that Grant has, to all intents
and purposes, declared he would
Tylerize, by joining the Conserva-
tives, amply justifes tho suspicion
that the appointments were made
with a view Of Tylerization. What
agencies the President has recently
set at work in the Norther6 States
to disrupt the ruling party, will,
| doubtless, be disclosed before the
next presidential election. There
is good reason to believe that the
Tylerizing movement has been ac-
CELEBRATED by a reaction of public
sentiment against the party in pow
er, which has suggested to the Press
ident tho policy of renewal OF his
connection with the Democracy, 10
order to obtain a second term. BE
this as it may, the question now
fairly comes up whether the polit-
ical situation is such as to justify
him in Tylelizing. There are such
things as party obligations of s
grave and binding character, and
these, in Tylerizing, the Presi
dent casts aside. We hope good
may come of it, but it now looks a:
| if "moral ideas" will meet with sun
dry pullbacks, because of the un
faithfulness Of the President TOWARD
them"
