article; reviewoand answers(in its vein,
-our-argumetrt-in-favor-of-the-legislation
of Congress relative to__lllo__S.upreme_
Court: It, in common with its whole'
party ; is wonderfully consistent in its
- tirade- open what it calls Congressional
interference' with the sanctity and pre
rogatives of the, judiciary.. Ever since
the slave holder's tebellion first broke
out ; every siep takeu by 'the ,United
'§'tates 'Congress or Executive towards,
its suppression;" and, in later days, every
measure adopted te aecure a just and
proper reconstruction have been decried ,
and denounced by them as revolutionary
At„ first, they_ alleged' there was no au
thority derived from the C'endtitutind tor,
coerce a State, - meaning thereby to sup..
press 'the unholy rebellion of their al
.ties_ _Notwithstanding theirdeclarations'
and protests the conirarY, 111O—Vrebal
lion was Alupprossed and the majesty of
!_the Union asserted. They - new aitempt
tie same policy in theirefforts to' pre
vent reconstruction. _But as they failed
then, so will they fail now. The cry 0,1
"revolutionary and unconstitutional" has
lost its force, and . serves only to show
up the bellow / pretences of its- authors.
They cajolai and drove Andreiv John.
,on into the adoption and promulgation
=of ; --a—pro.rebel_scheme_oLrestoratioti..
But the people's Ropresentativea'stepped
in, and spoiled their-110e gatne. ',That
and proper measures of\reeonstruction
were adopted. They then fell back
upon the President, hoping that_in his
refusal to have these laws properly exe
cuted they would be able to thwart the
wishes of the loyal men of the nation.
Failing there, they then went into the
Supt. - Onto Court; but were turned otiFfer ,
want of original jurisdiction. But; they
now come back on appeal, and expect to
accomplish 'what they before failed in ;
indeek-they boastfully assert that-the
sent-tin-ea of the Court is . with-them.
This,: then, is the position of - affairs
at the present. The Democracy and the
President have, through this Tribunal,
sought to overthrow the whole legisla ,
tion of the last two years; and the ques
tion is, shall they be permitted to dolt ?
We, in common with nearly every loyal
journal of the land, have entered our
protest against it. Hereupob our neigh
bor the Volunteer takes us to task, and
lectures us for asserting that it is the
right and the duty of Congress to pro
tect itself and the country froth judicial
legislation; or, as Mr. Stanberry on a
previous occasion remarked, the exercige
of the veto power by the Court. The
first iiropOsitiOn; . te requirma-twcr.thirdi

they can decidefin act of_Congress un.
constitutional, it seems, will be so moi
d.fieil as to specify a class of Lavin to bt
I excepted from adjudication by the Court .
among which, of course, will be the to
construction .acts. The right of Con
grins to do this is so clearly laid down.
in a clause -of section- 2d, article 3d
the Constitution, that no'one--cvt for t
moment question it. It reads as follows :
" In all the other cases. before mention
ed, the Supreme Court shall have ap,
pollute jurisdiction, both as to law and
fact, with such exceptions and under such
regulations as the Congress shall Inn&
Under this section there can be no doubt
that Congress has the - power-to - uprescribe_
just such regulations as the Himise Bill
provides, but, -in order to banish all
"d - oulit in-the minds Of even the most
willtilly perverse, the latter policy it
thought will be adopted. But, as to the
Merits of the matter, it makes but little
differeuce which of
,the two shall prevail.
The right and the duty of Congress=-to
take some such action
,is plain, notwith
standing the pitiful sophistry arid sad
lamentations of the Volunteer and other
journals of its ilk. It is the right of
Congress, because expressly conveyed to
it--by the Constitution itself; _it is its
, duty, because its members come direct
from tho people and are sent there to
-represent their will and wishes. That
such action is the will and wish of the,
people was fully-demonstrated in the
late election in the SthDistrict of Ohio
That,election was : held after the House-
Bill was passed, Mid the result is an in
creased majority for the party , which

Coact will overthrow -- ; --- WaTiating.
then, the people, it is clearly its duty
to proteCt them against a fossilized oli
garchy. .
In speaking of. the Supremo Court, as
we haVe before said, we would approach
it with reverence and 'even veneration ;
but, when one of its members will act
in the manner in. which Justiae Field
is now charged with, it, would be worse
than the -superstition of witahgeraft to
attribute to even 411 h-clues!, body infal
libility. The Congress of the i. p i nited

This, to say the -least, indicates" a little

And, further, as if to provide for this
very emergency, Chief Justice Taney
decided in the Rhode Island case
1842, that where .Congresa h,as recog
nized an existing State' Government
-"its decision-in-binding -on ever-y-other
dePartment of -the Government, and
could not ~quostiooed in n judicial tri
bunal." Congress has declared the ex.
isting governments in the
_llehei,States ..
illegal governments, and. how under the
above opinion can their ",decision" be'
questioned in a judicial tribunal ?
pa Under ordinary circumstances we
would not think these precautions per
haps necessary, but, when the rebels and
their friends openly and boastfully 'ice r _ .
qlare" that they have, -the Court with
them, the aspect of the case is entirely_
changed, and 'a watchful vigilance de
manded as the - price of our inheritance.
The bluster of the.. Volunteer about
" this lastLassault upon the liberties of
an outraged people," &e., is truly Demo
cratic in its style. We, on the other
hand, claim that such action as they de
..
sire - and- expect,-would be an- assault
upon the rights and prerogatives_not of
the rebels, but of the loyal men of the
land ; and, it seemd.strange that, from
-a- source---which-ealis-itself - Democratic,
'there-should come this pitiful-__plea_to
take from the people themselves the ad
ministration of the affairs•of the nation
and repose it in the - hands of an oligar
chy. Surely the Democracy of the Vol
unteer is degenerate.

against the. Republican Congress - as being a
hi dy only devoted to extravagaace, that we
deem it essential to call attention to facts
north-o—tigurea----ivith
regerd to the retrenchment,that-- . has -been

administration 'of : that bureau ho cut down
the eXpendittires - five Millions of dollars;
scr that in round numbers the 'labors of Re,
publicanS have saved the , Treasury 'seventy
live millions,annuully. .
At the two previous sessions, Congress
reduced the public taxes tothe amount of one
hundred and twenty millions. • It is by such
processes .as 'these' 'that - Republicans— are
steadily - seeking - to - lightentlm - popula.bar.7. -
dens. It is well that those who cbrigratu
latetheco_u ntry ortAltese_n_t_o_v_ements_should
bear in mind that just in-proportion as the
Republicans" have been dqing this the
Democratic administration has been pursu
ing the opposite policy. Johnson was con
ducting-the Indian war in such a wasteful, - ,
extravagant and impracticable manner, that
Congreis gut a stop to, it by sending out
peace commissioners, who arranged all the
troubles_easity,.and:left Johnson--and -his
satellites - without any excuse fur the enor
mous estimates they had put forward for
the cost of, the war. All the millions thrown
away in contracting !the currency were
wasted in pursuance of, Democratic policy:
411- the-mOney-asked for building new-naval
vessels was upon the same basis.
We-mention these things to show that if
the Republicans are, responsible for many
of the very large-expenditures which they
are themselves now engaged in retrenching,
Democrats have their share of the respon
sibilities, and have no right to expect. ty'
escape censure. The difference is that tbe
Republicans aro always willing to recogniXe
and-act upon any useful lesson, while the
Darnocrats are not.. Promptly upon the
conclusion of the war the Republicans be
\gan to reduce the popular burdens, and
this policy they continue steadily, as they
find - opportunities and can safely, do so.
Let them continue as they have hegun, and
the present session will - be memorable in
ourldstory for its retrenchment and for its
relief of the taxpayers. We shall, likewise,

means proposed to b • applied through the

simplicity or scorning want of mechanical

the model seeder-tooth eihibited 'to us will

is; that in its contact with the soil it pre

it to be tliiown out of the ground, and if
thrown - outjt - would - not - soon regain its
place; thfs - very flatness, too, brings the
cross-bars, intrealuced to separate the seed,
a little too near to the contingencies of
stubble and 'weeds, which sometimes () choke
the tooth, even,without this aid. It might
and probably would ,lfelp to produce this
evil. '
But it seems that we are likely to fall into
