Probable Action ol the Supreme Court.
The probable action of the Supreme Court
Urou tbe vital questions growing out of the
subject of reconstruction. Is exciting very
general Interest. The recent decision of that
body in regard to trials by military commis
sions has certainly aroused a leelllng ot ap
prehension m the minds of many persons,
lest -Ita future action may embarrass and,
temporarily at least, thwart the will of the
nation In regard to the status of the South
ern communities. President Johnson Is re
ported to have recen'ly advised those com
munities to reject the Constitutional Amend
ment, and to have avowed, in that connec
tion, hla confidence that the Supreme Court
would nullffy the proposed action of Con
gress with reference to the so-called Southern
State Governments.
The New York Herald, assuming that there
s some ground for all these outgivings, per
tinently says:
"Here, then, we have the elements of a new
conflict with Conpress. Tbe issue, in tbe appeal
from Coupre-9 to the people, baa been dec.oed
by the people against the President's policy
and in favor of Congress. Can the Supreme
Court reverse the decisions of the war and of
the people of the loyal States ? If so, then one
man of the Supreme Court holds the destinies
of this country, peace or war, subject to his
ipse dixit; tor it appears that upon this late
Milligan decision tbe Court was divided live to
four. One man against the decision of the
armies and navies of the loyal Slates in a four
years' civil war; one nan against the over
whelming p. pular verdict of those State., as
pronounced in the late elections ! If tbh thing
is attempted, as expected, there will be a new
confliot, which will inevitably end in a thorough
radical ork of recons '.ruction; and hence the
necessity of an understanding of the position of
the Supreme Court now to avoid this dn.ir.
The report is abroad taut the Court is relied
upon to upset the pending Constitutional
amendment iu a decision wb:ch must npc?
Barily Involve the legality of Congress and all
its acts of the last five years, and declare the
war a failure."
. Of course, it is impossible that the country
should not regard with apprehension the pos
sibility that the ipse dixit ot a single man,
Influenced perhaps by the spirl; which dic
tated the infamous Dred Scott decision, may
be thrown into the scale to defraud the nation
of the just fruits ot its victory over treason
and .rebellion. But it is well not to jump too
hastily to the conclusion that the Supreme
Court is to be found arrayed on the side of
the late Rebels and against the loyal senti
ment of the people.
In the first place, the decision in the matter
of military commissions for the trial of civi
lians does not bave any necessary connection
with the subject ot the status of the Southern
communities. It rests upon grounds of its
own. It might have been consistently con
curred in by one who was as radical upon the
subject of Rebel State status as Charles Sum
ner himself.
In the second place, the Supreme Court
lias already decided that the late war was a
territorial war, and not a mere personal
war ; that is, that the war was not merely
insurrectionary," and thus confined to those
who personally took part in it, but was a ter
ritorial war between belligerent powers, so
that the property even of loyal men living
within the limits of the Southern army lines
was enemy's property, and subject to confis
cation. The decision was that the States
rebelled as ''States;" that the war was be
tween the Northern and Southern States ;"
that it was "no loose, unorganized insurrec
tion," but that ot a well-defined "belligerent
power."
Tbe inevitable logic of this decision is that
the Rebellion destroyed all loyal and consti
tutional State Governments in the Rebel
States, and that the Rebel State Governments
were known to the Constitution and laws only
as hostile and revolutionary powers, seeking to
overthrow the Government of the United
States. This effectually separates the present
so called State organizations in the South
from all relation whatever to the old State
organizations which existed before the war.
It cuts them off from all the teste I rights,
constitutional privileges, and Immemorial
immunities which might have been claimed
for those old organizations, had the chain of
legal and constitutional succession
remained unbroken. A chasm of more
than four years' duration yawns, In
Which, In all these Rebel States, there
were, in tbe eye of tbe Constitution, no valid
governments. The chain of legal continuity
is fatally broken. A hiatus occurs in which
there 1b nothing at the South that the Consti
tution recognizes as a civil or political State.
The present State organizations there are
purely new creations, having no possible
constitutional relations to the old State or
ganizations which went out of sight in the
revolution in 1861. Indeed, they have no
legal relations even to the Rebel State Gov
ernments which they immediately succeeded .
The outbreak of the Rebellion subverted the
Old loyal State Governments of the South;
the overthrow of the Rebellion enabled Pre
sident J ohnBon to subvert the Rebel State Gov-
ernments. '1 he present organizations are every
) way new. Their history dates back only to their
creator, President Johnson. Hence, the only
question which the Supreme Court can pos
sibly pas upon is, Whether the President of
tbe United States can constitutionally create
State Governments ? It Is a new question, in
One sense, because n former President has
ever assumed to exemse suoh a power; but
la another sense It is nt new, for it Las lu
precedents In principle In every new S'ate
that has ever been admitted into the Union.
Those precedents are unllorm and universal
that Congress alone can breathe the breath of
life into a State organization. All the pre
liminary work, whether done In accordance
with enabling acts, or upon the mere motion
of the inhabitants, or through the agency of
nillitaiy commanders, is merely Inchoate, and
gets no lfe until Congress admits the State.
Southern Novels front Noittaern Presses.
wk notice among the list of books lately
published by various Northern houses the
appearance ot a new class, calculated to do
no good, and probably much harm. We refer
to the Inundation of secession novels. For a
long time after the close of the war we were
flooded with military adventures and military
fiction, until, although they all breathed a
spirit of pure patriotism, they became, so
insipid that we denounced the entire variety.
But the fault which we found wiih them was
grounded on a slight foundation when
compared with the cause of opposition to tbe
works ol the "St. Elmo" class. It requires
no demonstration to prove that the literature
of a people has an intimate connection with
their politics, and that letters have a oon
tro'lina influence on tbe national life. The
stirring effects of the "Marseillaise Hymn,"
at.d the enthusiasm created by the senseless
doggerel of Cromwell's day, show how
easily the popular mind is moulded. When,
therelore, we see a series of novels written
In defense of "the lost cause," and not less
powenul In their defense than if
they assumed tbe tone of argument
Instead of that of conversation, we
cannot but view these publications as having
a direct tendency to promote discord, foster
the spirit of rebellion, and aid the South In
her contumacious refusal to accept the fate
of war. That Southern writers, especially
female writers, should devote their energies
to the manufacture of such fiction, causes us
no surprise. With a heedlessness eminently
thtirown,Southern women have distinguished
themselves lor their barbarity and their
wild enthusiasm. Hence, the production
ot writings tending to do the 3outh the utmost
damage, may be set down to their thought
lessness as well as to their treason. But
what does surprise us, is to see leading pub
lishers in the North Issuing s ich works, and
pampering to the morbid taste of the South
ern people for records and praises of the ile
bellion. It is excusable for Southern pub
lisl era to do so, but for a Northern house, in
order to sell a few thousand copies, to issue
works having a direct tendency to promote
treason, caases us both scorn and surprise.
We do not deprecate the publication of works
of real literary merit, which have some other
design than the mere propagation of dissatis
faction. Literature la a world of itself, and what
shall be rejected and what received depends
on other p rounds than any expression of opin
ion. But when the liteiary ability is evidently
utterly valueless, where the doctrine is bid,
and the story itself has no merit but its trea
son, we do most heartily condemn its publica
tion in the North. We have referred to Miss
Evans' last work, "St. Elmo." Although de
ficient in that tone which should be found in
a novel of its class -a submission to the
decree of battle yet it possesses merit of so
bigli an order as a merely literary production
as to account for its appearance. But with
that exception, we know of no Southern war
novel which has any other recommendation
than Its arrant adhesion to the doctrine of
recession. Light works, such as fiction, have
a doubly Insidious power. They are read by
the Soutb. Boys and girls, who would not
open a ponderous history, will read novels,
and their minds be thus inrected with princi
ples of evil which will develop in the future,
and 'make all the young men traitors, like
tbeir fathers. The publisher who lays such a
work before them has a fearful responsibility
to answer for, and one which, If the nation
does not now call him to account tor, it will
not fail to demand a reckoning in the future.
Minnesota Wheat Chop. The wheat
crop of Minnesota for the year I860 Is esti
mated 8,000,000 of bushels. The first ex
ports of wheat were made from this State
in 1850, and amounted to 130,000 bushels.
Minnesota bids fair to become one of the
finest whe a' -growing States in the Union.
