limit the exercise of the power to any

on Justices of the Supreme Court. wholle

involved the moat serious considerations,

a quotation from a friend who had used
it in another argument. •

in some book on the laws of- war. "It

He then atinted thst tzar no longer ex

Attorney Getieral. As a question of
tact there could bo rittdoubt of this, or
dlffeience in honest militia. On the 20th
of August, 1866, the President issued
his proclamation declaring the in
serrection which had existed In
Texas at an end, as in eta* r- Stites,
and "that peace, order• and tranquility
and civil authority:exist in and through
out the;whole United States of America.”
Prior to this, in December, Ities, the
Presideut :Said in his, messes° "tne're
hellion has been suppressed. and the
people lately in rebellion yield obedl
ehoe to the United Staten, with more
promptness and willingness thaq could
reasmably be anticipated." The Lege
,lature, too, as he showed, declared the
war over. The President and Chri
sten acted in accord. It was
known that Contras* disputed the •
right of the President to take mees.
ures for the reconstruction of the South
ern States, and therefore it was consider.
ed neclissary to take'steps to lead these
States bssivinto the Union. The tedon•
.antoction set was passed on this basis,
but be, lidrPnillips, would , say that the
civil rights of citizens existed every
