REMOVE The U. S. SUPREME COURT

By the Great Jehosophat, the supreme
court of the United States has had the
temerity and impertinence to decide
against the shining lights of the Santa Fe
bar, who advised defiance of the lawful
orders of the district court and of the ST.
preme court of this territory; the judges
of the U. S. supreme court must be daft
to hold against such very eminent? and
learned? counsel? as appeared for Del
gado In his wilful and wicked dis
obedience to the lawful orders of the
district court and of the supreme court of
New Mexico. The easiest way for these
so-called lawyers to get out of the scrape
is to charge that the supreme court of the
United States was bought up by the San
ia Fe ring. Be this as it may, hauling
up few of these gentry and finiHg them
for contempt of court or disbarring them
for certain of their illegal and unlawful
actions and for advising clients to dis
obey the lawful orders of the court would
have a very statutory effect upon all con-
