National litpablican TUESDAY MOMBWQ Irtwtry U. >**• ORANYIRR ESI S Tfy LH, Every interest of tln> Republican patty ia supporting or satisfied with Even individual exceptions arc rare. Thousands of Democrats will vote for him, says the Washington Chronicle. All the soldiers aremvftis side, and in the South there is not a sensible rebel who does not •ee that his cause has become resistless. The whole productive interest of the country sees in his name the symbol of activity in tratio, plenty of lalx>r at good prices, a revived commerce on the seas, and the rapid appreciation of our national securities. Under the influence of these facts, the office-bound conspiracy of rebels and copperheads will break up like die ice-bound waters under tl»e influence of the sun of May. Indeed it is going to pieces now. Formidable only in hatred of the Union they were so closely united to destroy, they are separating before the overwhelming popularity of Grant, the solidity of Congress, and the ultimate triumph of reconstruction. The first sure sign of their dissolution is the impossi bility of securing an available candidate for President. As everybody is going for Grant, they find almost everybody distrust ing them. The New York Herald, after accepting Grant as the people’s nominee, and then trying to weaken him, now gives up the contest, with a characteristic chastisement of the copperheads. Save Him from Ilis Friends ! Several newspapers in Georgia have declared themselves for Andrew Johnson as their candidate for the Presidency. But, at the same time, they express a willingness to leave the matter to the decision of the Democratic party of the North. This is very proper on their part, and we can tell them that Mr. Johnson is much more likely to be struck by light ning than to be nominated either by that party or any other. The strongest man witli the Democrats of New York is John T. Hoffman, just as with the Democrats of the West George If. Pendleton is the strongest. One of these two will probably be the candidate adopted by the Demo cratic National Convention. So says the N. Y. Times. Catholicism in the United States. The Catholic Almanac for 1868 gives a glowing account of the increase of Roman ism in this country. In 1860 the American Cyclopedia estimated the adherents of the Catholic Church at a little over three mil lions. Tbe heat Catholic authorities are now said to declare that nearly five millions of persons belong to their denomination. In Rhode Island and Connecticut alone the increase in sixteen years has been from sixteen thousand to one hundred and twenty-five thousand. In the five New England States, exclusive of Massachusetts, the Catholic strength is one hundred and ninety-eight thousand. It is announced that special efforts are making to national ize the Church. Heretofore the majority of the clergy have been French, Italian or of Irish, and the number of native Americans who have entered the priesthood has been small. Doolittle’s Territory. Senator Doolittle, in a letter to the Janesville Gazette, in 1862, proposed to “make a negro territory in the United States, beginning with South Carolina.” Does not that agree, asks the Tribune , with the present theories of the rights of the conquered States. No! But it corresponds with Senator Doolittle, who mistook his mission when he assumed to be a statesman, lie belongs to the race of demagogues, and he found a fitting place under the wing of Andrew Johnson. Asa tail to that kite, let him fly.— Cincinnati Gazette. Heavy on A. J. A Tennessee paper announces that An drew Johnson wants to take the stump during the approaching Presidential cam paign. The New York Tribune does not believe that any party would accept bis services —unless the Republican Commit tee should engage him as a dreadful warning; THE SUPREME COURT. The action of the Supreme Court in the Reconstruction eases will give very general satisfaction. It removes one of the disturb ing elements from a question which is much too complicated already for the public good. It will put an end, we presume, to the movement in Congress which threatened to override the Judicial Department of the Government, and to set aside its authority, lest it should be exercised against the Con gressional acts of reconstruction. Ii will allay public apprehension on the one hand lest the Supreme Court should usurp politi cal power, and on the other lest tho Court itself should be invaded, in its rightful jurisdiction, by the Legislature. In disclaiming political authority, more over, the Court comforms to the general usage of tho Government, and the best opinions of the foremost fiiends of republi can institutions At the very outset it was contended by Jefferson and those who acted with him, that the Court hud no political juiisdiction, and no right to decide or en tertain questions purely political in their character. The Democratic party always held that position down at least to the time when the Dred Scott decision was pronounced ; and the ablest and must dis interested members of the party held that decision to be a departure from the usage of the Court, and an invasion of the politi cal department of the Government. In the decision it has now pronounced the Court has defined the limits ot its jurisdiction. Its province is to decide “ cases in law and equity" which may arise under tho Constitution and laws of the United State. This docs not involve the right to sit in judgment on the consti tutionality of laws of Congress, as an ab stract question, and to affirm or annul them at its discretion. It can only take cognizance of that question as it may arise in some specific case, involving rights of person or of property, and which shall come properly before the Court. The Georgia and Mississippi cases presented no such claims. They were simply applica tions from those States, asking the Court to pronounce certain laws unconstitutional, ana to restrain the Government of the ’ United* States 4rem carrying them into execution. Hie Court holds-that it has no right us to sit in judgment on the J** 8 of tie political department of the Oovem ilient.*<TKat department ia inteoeudent of all others ififThe action it may take on sflb jcctlVithiii its rightful jurisdiction and it is only when personal right* or right* of property are invoked* iu caws coming properly before it. that the Court can take cognizance of tho validity of existing laws. Tho only appeal in case of political wrongs is to the people. They are the source oi ail political power under oar torm of gov ernment, and it is only by them that the politioal action of the Government can be called in question. The fact that the decision in these recon struction cases was unanimous, and that the opinion was delivered by Judge Nelson will give it increased weight and authority with the conntry. While it deprives the opponents of the Congressional policy of reconstruction of one of their strongholds, it relieves tho Court from the political as saults that were threatening its destruction, and leaves the whole question open for the action and decision of the tribunal of the people, to which alone all administrations are responsible.— New York Times.
