The Times is very sorry there should
have been any flaw found in General
Eansom's title 20 the Mexican Mission
hut The Times is glad the government OIL
nrlals had the independence and the firm
ness to declare the flaw when II was us
covered. and 10 act upon the fact that
IL was there. All damage and loss 10
eneral Ransom can. and no doubt will,
ne effectively repaired. The President
VIII. no doubt. reappOint him al once, as
we earnestly hope he will 10. and hlll
will no doubt be promptly passed through
Congress paying him all salary now WITH
held from him, and confirming him IN
what ne has received. lie has performed
the services. and ne ought to have the
nav. But there could nave been no re-
pairing Of thu injury 20 the morale Of
our institutions If the government OH
GERS. knowing his defective title 10 his Of
fee. had CLOSED it over and raised no
ncint against him The prosperity and
continued growth Of the Republic depends
lypon all men obeyiug the laws that eN-
list. whether some complain of the way
they are affected by them, or whether
they DO not.
This leads us TO a remark uaon the ac-
ton OF the Treasury Comptroller who has
refused TO pay the bounty provided for the
Louisiana sugar growers upon the ground
that he believes the act of Congress
granting it is repugnant TO the Constiiu-
ton.
The sugar growers have raised a great
howl and a protest against the right oil
an executive officer to sit In judgment
upon the action of the CONGRESS of the
United states. ami declare its action IN
consistent with the Constitution. They
say executive officers must obey statutes
lrul the judicial power d-,lares tina,
they are in conflict with the Constiiu-
ton.
But. happily that is not the law of this
land. The Constitution declares that IL
is the supreme law of the land. and. u
ii is. nothing that is in conflict with u
can possibly be any part OF the law OF
TIE land. Accordingly. it is the we'll
settled doctrine Of the supreme Court
Of the United States that legislative
enactment which Is in conflict with the
Constitution is just as though it had never
existed. 1t binds no one and can afford
no one any justification whatever Tor any
0CtiOn ne may take.
This has often been solemniy announced
by the Supreme Court OF the United
states. and nowhere with more force ana
emphasis than in the Virginia Coupon
Cases in ia United States Reports.
II the Treasury Comptroller was Of opin-
Ion that the act of Congress grlatiag the
sugar bounty was rcpugnant TO the Con
sutuion. it was his duty to refuse 10 pay
