Decision of the Snpreine Court In the Mississippi lujuuciioa UKse, fYom the Herald. The doclsion of tho Supreme Court, de livered by Chief Justice Chase, iu the Missis ppi injunction case, will be universally ap proved. The Court refused leave to file a bill lo enjoin and restrain the President and his lubordinate officers from carrying out the Reconstruction acts of Congress. It is unne cessary to restate the argument of the Chief Justice, and we will only remark that the South itself has reason to rejoice at a decision which sweeps away the obstruction that Sharkey, Walker, and other Impracticable State rights theorists would have thrown iu the way of restoration. With regard to the Georgia bill of com plaint for a similar purpose, though upon Bomewhat different proceedings, the Court de cided to allow a bill to be filed. But further proceedings in the case are postponed till the regular term of the Court in December. From the progress of the work of reconstruc tion, and the prospects before us, we have reason to hope the Southern States will be prepared for restoration before the case could be heard. If this be accomplished, and Repre sentatives and Senators from those States take their seats in Congress, as now seems probable, the Supreme Court may be re lieved of the trouble of hearing the Georgia complaint; for what will Georgia have to com plain of when restored, and she shall have the privileges accorded to her which are enjoyed by all the other States ? It would be like a man suing for his property after it had been restored to him. But whether the work of restoration be so far advanced by December or not, we have no fear of the action of the Court. It is now evident that this high tribu nal is not going to do anything that might ob struct reconstruction under the acts of Con gress. It will not perpetuate disorganization and its consequent evils by technical abstrac tions. It knows that Congress is the supreme power, and that if the Court itself should stand In the way of speedy restoration, that tody has the power to remodel the Court. We see, then, all branches of the Government, as well as the people of the South themselves, assisting in the work of reconstruction as marked out by the acts of Congress. Such being the case, we may safely hope that we are approaching the end of our sectional dilli culties. The Last Struggle of Imperialism lu Mexico Prospect! of the Hepubllc. From the Times. Though Maximilian is besieged at Queretaro by a Republican army twice the strength of liia own, it is yet possible that he may hold out for some time, and may even be able to escape with his troops to the capital of Mexico, where ho can stand another siege. In a large view of the situation, military and political, Lis prospects are utterly desperate; but while he has eveu ten thousand troops imme diately around liim, and as many more in his service in other parts of the country, he can not, under existing circumstances, be con sidered in imminent deadly peril. It is quite likely it will yet be discovered that his bro ther, the Emperor of Austria, is in greater fear of his personal salety than is necessary. Here and in Europe he seems, anil has seemed, in extremest peril; and if it were precisely true that he was under close siege, with only a disaffected army under turbulent leaders, without money or supplies, with out a purpose or a plan, or the means of carrying out either, his case would be as bad as it is regarded in Vienna. But the Republican army does not keep up a close siege of Queretaro, nor is it able to break up his communications with the capital and other important points yet in his hands. His army is of poor material and discipline, and would not be of much account in great regular military operations; but it is quite as good as its opponent for such fighting as is going on iu Mexico. It is better commanded, too, than the Republican army; and if Miramou and Warquez continue to co-operate with Maximi lian, they are capable of doing something more than testing the generalship of Escobedo, who, notwithstanding his vacillation, ferocity, and outrageous violations of the laws of war, is re tained by Juarez in chief Liberal command. Maxamilian is assuredly very bad off for money for his army; but that is a chronic state with all parties in Mexico; it is something to which Mexican troops are accustomed, whatever flag they may fight under; and if he can make a levy now and then on some place of a few thousand dollars, he will do quite as well as the adversary on the other side of the line. We have no doubt, in short, that, desperate as the whole case appears to outside observers, botli with regard to immediate operations and ultimate results, Maximilian ami those around him entertain some sort of hope either of gaining their ends in prolonging the existence of the Empire, or else of securing for them selves terms different from those which the Liberal leaders have thus far held out. We have little doubt that if they fail in one, they will succeed in the other of these ends. The Juarist chiefs, including the commander of tho army, have declared their determination of outlawing and executing all the "traitors" in Maximilian's service; and as this includes foreigners as well as native, private soldiers as well as Generals, civil as well as military officers, they are sure to meet with a resistance as determined as their threats are desperate. They have proven, too, by the recent whole Bale massacre of Frenchmen at San Jacinto, and by numerous other executions which are reported, that the threat is not an empty one,- and tnat no consideration of the laws of war, the opinion of other nations, or the claims ot humanity, will stand for a moment in their way. So far as they are concerned, we have no doubt that the apprehensions oi the j'.mperor 01 Austria are justifiable, and that Maximilian, on falling into their hands, would share the fate pronounced against other traitors; and we believe that, if saved at all, it will only be by his own power and our remonstrances. Maximilian has the means of carrying on the war long enough to jnake it a very unprofitable business for Juarez that is to say, if the latter persists in prose cuting hostilities until the Imperialists surren der unconditionally. Maximilian can hardly do less, moreover, than maintain himself until honorable terms are secured; and were he Shabby enough to desert his upholders under present circumstances, Miramou, Mejia, and Slarquez would doubtless carry on war in their own defense and in the name of the Church. If Juarez possesses any qualities that lit him for the duty of governing, he will not only nut an immediate stop to the execution of Imperialists, but h will otter a general am- ' III a I 1 li'' ir -i-Tii.iiii - ...U1.I.IIKHIIIMUII Ii ""li" 111,11 1 """ ' '""'Hi- I 1 --H- l.j. rTin. ! TIIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, npsty to leaders and followers, and will offer terms to Maximilian himself such as are de meaning to neither party. If, therefore, the most recent developments lend us to the conclusion that the Mexican empire may not fall quite as .quick as has lately been exacted, the certainty of its fall is as fixed as ever, and is but a question of weeks Or months. With a small measure of skill on tho part ot the Juarist Generals, and a small mensure of statesmanship on the part of Jnarea himself, he may very speedily be established in the capital, with the machinery of republican government again in opera tion, lie must resume his position amid great difficulties. The country bankrupt as well as the exchequer; tho States disorgan ized as well as society; the old contention between the Church and tho Government still unsettled; the chiefs of faction eager as ever for their work; industry prostratod, com merce annihilated it will require genius and force to succeed under such circumstances. Anxious as wo are to find grounds of hope eager as we ever have been to see republican institutions work successfully in Mexioo, we confess that we aro always seized with some thing like despair when we witno3S the state of things that there exists exists under all leaders and parties, through all times and cir cumstances. We were in hope that the dis cipline of foreign intervention would work out good for Mexico; that at least it would unite the people in upholding a strong and orderly independent Government, and in suppressing factious leaders. It is grievous to see so many reasons to fear that it has not even effected this. The question will yet be foroed upon us whether we have any duty iu the premises. It will probably be irresistibly forced upon Congress at its next session. American KnterprUe and the Paris Ex- posltloii. Prom the Herald. We have information by cable that the American yachts Fleetwing, Vesta, and Hen rietta were all ready for sea on Tuesday at Southampton. We do not know where they are going, whether to run a channel race round the British islands, or to start on a voyage for the discovery of some new territory in which the United States Government can invest its capital. However, It is not unlikely that this little transatlantic American squadron will be largely reinforced during the coming season; for we observe that there is great activity in the yacht business. Two or three fine schooners of three hundred tons are being built in this city, which will be very fast, trim boats, and there area few more in construction at Boston. We should not be surprised to see a squadron of such yachts as the Alarm, the l'liautom, the Halcyou, the Widgeon, and, per haps, some of the new boats, making a cruise or running a sweepstakes across the Atlautic. This summer race may not be as exciting or as risky as the winter race of last year, but no doubt it will be quite as pler.sant, and may obtain in enjoyment what it lacks iu novelty. It appears that the American part of the great show in Paris is a little meagre so far in the matter of machinery, shirts, pianos, and In dians. But we are not very particular about these things. Our machinery is good enough for all domestic purposes; so are our shirts. Our pianos are as familiar as household tunes in every dwelling in America; and as for our Indians, of whom only a small specimen has gone to France, we have plenty more left of the same sort on all our Western prairies, and we do not know what to do with them. The Paris Exposition can have as large a variety in the greatest- number that may be required. They might make a very exciting whirl in the American department, particu larly if they were to indulge iu a musical war whoop. There are some things, however, upon which we do pride ourselves, and they are probably as well known to the European people as to us. We can put down civil war as quickly, raise as large armies, build as good irou-clads, as fast yachts, kill as many men in battle, construct as fine railroads and as bad ones, burst more boilers, get up bigger fires, and create as large a national debt as any other nation on the face of the earth. We have now on hand in our various Atlantic ports and on the Mississippi river a number of superflous iron-elads and monitors which we can dispose of to Spain, if she should get into trouble with England, or to Russia, in case of an unpleasant complicity with the East. The interest on the money invested in them would go a good way towards buying foreign real estate, into which business we are going so extensively. When our yachts and iron-clads go over to Europe, they maymake up the deficiency which now exists in the I'nited States branches of industry at the Paris Exposition the machinery, shirts, pianos, and Indians. The Duty of the Party to the South. From the Tribune. In the organization of the Republican party in the South, one thing is to be remembered that the principles of Republicanism forbid any attempt to control and use the oolored vote, as something dependent upon the party. Except in ordinary political calculations which are based on population, the Republican party knows no colored vote. It knows the people only, and between white and black can make no distinction. Thus far the Southern Republicans have acted upon these principles. The North Caro lina Convention did not acknowledge any dif ference of the races, and divided the offices equally between them ; at the Arkansas Con vention, April 2, it was resolved that the terms white and black should not be used, though colored delegates were present ; the call of a Republican Convention in Tennessee said " we do not appeal to whites or to blacks we appeal to Men." It is only upon this honorable and just basis that the party can hope to establish itself permanently in the South. The colored voters do not intend to be patronized by any political organization ; they expect equal lights, full representation in party councils, and the power Jitled to, not only by intelligence 1 bers. Therefore, any attempt to 'Black Party" will be defeated bj m puny councils, and the power they are en- but by nu in to organize a v the colored voters themselves. In the war they were wi hng to light in Beparate regiments, but they will not vote so. The Republican party needs only a platform oi absolute equality to embody not attach or annex-the majority of the colored voters in a n it3t!ittp.arty whit:" freed the slave, confidence which no sophistry can destroy. The colored men universally understand this, and nothing but lo , t g to vote against Republican candidates. But this advantage is counterbalanced by the want of thorough organization ia the Southern States a want which.uuless speedily suDDlled must lose the Republican party thousands of votes. True, there is not a State in which good Union men have not taken some steps towards State organization, signal: v in ai bama and North Carolina; but the great doQ- cionry is in the counties and distriots. A Re publican Convention in Raleigh or Little Rock does not necessarily imply that the Republican party, as a living, working organization, will bo carried into every corner of North Carolina and Arkansas. That machinery of local com mittees and Union Leagues, which in New York or Pennsylvania disseminates a know ledge of men and principles throughout the State, does not exist for the Republican party iu the South, but it does exist for our oppo nents there. They have the State Govern ments, the county officers; the lenders hold all civil authority; they have three-fourths of the newspapers; and this machinery which was used to accomplish secession and sustain rebel lion, is equally valuable to oppose the pro gress of republican principles. It yet remains to be seen whether the Reconstruction law itself may not be used against us; it provides for the appointment of Boards of Registration to determine who are legal voters, but it does not prescribe the manner in which these boards shall bo formed. We hold that it is the duty of the District Commanders, inde pendently of all parties, to see that both white and black citizens are intrusted with a work so important. Thus deficient in organization, though with ample power in number and enthusiasm, the success of the Republican party iu the South depends very much upon the energy of the R publicans in the North. We must give them what we have spt akers, newspapers, labor, money, organization. 'We must legin at once with this work; tho loyal men of the South will do the rest. Insurance The Jews and Jew Risks. F rom the Herald. It is proverbial that when a man is over taken by any great sorrow he Buddonly at tempts to tear all his hair out by the roots, as if baldness were a remedy for grief. But a heavy heart is quite consistent with a shining poll, and the connection between this common line of conduct and ill fortune i3 not bo obvious as that between cause and effect ought to be. Wo find the same fault with the course taken by some very respectable Israel ites of our city with regard to insurance. V We think the gentlemen are taking up the cudgel in a case in which, if they are concerned at all, it ought to be on the other side. No insurance company, we believe, ha3 yet refused to insure any respectable merchant of this or any other city, be he Jew or Gentile. But it seems that there is a class of swindlers who get large insurance on small stocks, and then are conveniently burned out; and the companies say that an unusual proportion of this class are men of Jewish race. We sup pose that the most respectable Jews do not deny that there may be Jewish as well as Christian rogues, and this, perhaps, ia the de velopment that roguery has taken in that financiering race. This is not at all improba ble; and, supposing it to be true, how does it concern that large number of our citizens who are Israelites, and who yield to none in their high integrity, in their ability as merchants and brokers, and in the whole purity of their lives ? Not at all, we should say, unless it might stimulate these gentlemen to assist the companies in the exposure of these rogues for the credit of their class, and lest even tem porary odium should be brought on better men. This, it seems to us, should be the true position of our Jewish citizens in this case. There cannot be any question now, and in this city, of a persecution ot a sect as a sect. But as this is purely a matter oi business it must arrange itself on business principles, and there will bo a discrimination against dis honest dealers. Some of these perhaps, do not live far from Chatham street. If so, ex alted protests ' against the discrimination on the pait of those who live in better quarters will be absurd, and like the tearing of the hair, more laughable than effective, The Reconstruction Ltw In the Supreme Courti JVom tne World. Our remarks on Tuesday on the late decision, were founded on the inaccurate Washington telegrams of the evening papers of the pre ceding day. The views then expressed require revision. The Court did not refuse permission to file the bill on the simple ground that it could not, in any case, enjoin the President (a point which the Court left undetermined), but on the ground that the application confounded ministerial and executive functions, and that although the Court might in some cases (at east with regard to subordinate officers) en join the performance of a strictly ministerial act, it could not interfere with duties which are in their nature executive. The Court then proceeded to argue that the duties required of the President under the Reconstruction act are executive, not ministerial, and the applica tion was denied on the ground that the judi ciary department of the Government cannot restrain the executive department in the dis charge of executive functions. A decision resting on this ground clearly foreshadows the judgment of the Supreme Court in the Georgia case. For if it be settled that an injunction can be issued only in relation to ministerial acts, and that the things required to be done in enforcing the Reconstruction act are not ministeiial, it logically follows that the sub ordinates of the President can no more be restrained by injunction from executive acts than the President himself. The reasoning of the following passage, if attentively examined, will be seen to be equally applicable to the President and his subordinates: "A nilulMeriul duly, the peiforinunceof which mny, In proper euseH, be required of tlie lieud of a department by Judlciul process, is one In rtspectto wtiicti uotliliiK is left to discretion; It is aMinple, di finite duly, arising under con ditions admitted or proved lo exist, or imposed by Ihw. Tbe eiise of Marbury against Madison, Secietmy of tho Tiensury (1 Crannu, 137), fur nishes au lllUHl ration. A citizen hud been nominated, confirmed, and appointed a Justice of I be Peace lor the District of Columbia, and his commission hud ueun made out. sinned, and fenled. Nothing remained to be done hut delivery, and the duly of delivery was imposed by law on the Secretary of Htale. It was held that tiie performance of this duty might be enforced by mandamus issuing from u court having Jurisdiction. Ho In the case of Kendall, l'lifclniasler-Ueneral, against Ktocklon aud Stokes (12 Peters, 527), an act of Congress had directed the Post inaster-Ueueral lo credit Stockton and Stokes with such sums as the t-olicltor of the Treasury should find d ue them, and that ofllcer refused lo credit them with certain sums ho found due. It was held that the crediting of thin money was a mere minis terial duty, the performance of which luitfht be enforced In each of thi'se cases. Nothing as left to discretion. There was no room for the exercihe of judgment. The law required the performance of a single spe cific act, and that performance, 11 was held, might be required by mandamus. Very diUeieul Is tiie duly of the President In the exerc ise of tbe power to see that the laws are laithlully executed, and nmouK those laws the acts named In the bill. By the first ot these acts he Is required to assign generals to command In tbe several military districts, and to detail aufllcieut military force lo enable such otllcers to discharge their duties uuder the law. By the supplementary act oilier duties are Imposed on the several commanding generals, and their duties must necessarily be performed under the supervision of tbe President, as (Jomniau-der-lii-Chlef. The duty thus imposed on the President is lu no Just sense ministerial; It is purely executive anil political. An attempt on l lie part of the Jmllolal department cf the Gov ernment to enjoin the performance of such duties by the President might be Justly charac terised, In the language of Chief Justice Mfr shall, as 'an absurd and excessive extrava gance.' It is true that in the install -e before us the Interposition of tbe (Jonrt is not sought to en lorre action by the Executive under con stitutional legislation, but lo restrain audi action uDder legislation alleged to be unconRtl tu'lonnl. Hut we are unable to perceive tnat this circumstance takes the case out of the general principle which forbids judicial Inter leience with the exercise of Kxecuilve discre tion." After the positions thus taken, and in view of the consequences to which they lead, any further expectation of relief from the Su preme Cotnt seems over-sanguine and base less. Nothing could be delayed or omitted by the South, which would not be equally delayed or omitted if these fruitless applica tions to the Supreme Court had not been undertaken. It may not perhaps be amiss to point out, as betokening a great change iu Southern opinion since the war, that one of the fundamental postulates of the nullification and secession doctrines, as expounded by Mr. Calhoun, was that the Snnreme Court has no authority to settle controversies between the States and the general Government relating to the bounda ries of their powers. The argument was, that the Supreme Court being a department of the Federal Government, consisting of judges ap pointed by it, to allow it to decide on the extent of the Federal authority would put the States at the mercy of the central Government. The reserved powers, it was claimed, were re served not merely against the encroachments of Congress, but against the encroachmeuts of Government as a whole, and all its depart ments. If the Federal Government, through one of its departments, could mark the limits of the reserved powers, it could, through that department, contract thorn at pleasure. The consequence would be that all State rights would be held at the discre tion of the Federal authority. The doctrine was therefore set up that, not the Supreme Court, but each State for itself, was, in the last resort, the sole judge of infractions of its rights, and of the mode and measure of re dress. The South has heretofore refused to recognize the Supreme Court as the ultimate arbiter between the estates and the federal Government in disputed questions respecting the boundaries of their powers. The present applications ought, therefore, instead of the reprobation they have called forth in some quarters, to be accepted in a spirit of congra tulation, as a signal token of the great change public opinion has undergone in the eouth.
