lation regarding the Supreme Court.
The proceedings in the House to-day render
the passage of the new reconstruction bin on

assured that General Grant will stand by him
in any action that he may find it necessary to
take regarding the Governor and Treasurer of
Georgia.''

field asked leave to introduce a bill to reduce
and improve tho military establishment by the
discharge of the Majoi-General last commis?
sioned, before January, 1868. This general is
Hancock, and after a decided intimation on
the part of Brooks, Randall and others, that
they would resort to filibustering to prevent
its passage, it was withdrawn.
Mr. Garfield gave notice that he would re?

Attest : JOHN T. SLOAN,
Clerk of the Convection.
-Speculation is being indulged as to bow
the Judges of tho United States Supreme
Court stand on tbe question of the constitu?
tionality of the Reconstruction laws of Con?
gress. " It is said that Justices Chase, Miller
and Swavne are in favor of sustaining those
acts, and Justices Grier, KelsoD, Clifford and
Field are ready to declare them unconstitu?
tional, while Justice Davis is undecided.
Should ho go with tho latter it would moke Ave
against three; but it is hardly probable that a
test case can bo carried through in time to
proveut the reconstruction of aU the States,
lu this connection thc foUowicg extract Irom
Attorn-jy-General Stanbery's speech is deemed
very significant: "Gentlemen, I have been at
tho* bar for nearly half a century, and have
been a constant student, not only* of common
law, but of our own constitutional law, and I
do not hesitate to say that the whole of these
Reconstruction acts of Congress, from begin?
ning to end, first, second and third in the se?
ries, are unconstitution and void. There are
times whou to be silent is to be unfaithful.
There are times when mun must speak out I
will not attempt to school myself into reti?
cence upon these great questions, and I could
not if 1 would."
