United States is a judicial, and' not a legislative question, and its decision is committed exclusively to the Courts by the Constitution of the United States. Readied; That whilst it belongs to Con gress•te legislate and. to enact laws upon all such subjecta as are placed within its juris diction by ther Copstitution; and to the Presi dent to cyr , eute all — the laws and decrees of the differeriedepartments of the Government, it belengs to • the Judicilryi to . •Ittterpiet atl such 'taws, and :to determine all such con troverSies in law and equity, atisin*tider the' 9opstittition and . • lowa, and upon all . -suchquestions • their decision shall be - final and conclusive.
