I suppose the next question the gentleman would ask would be this: Then. presuming that they had violated any of the sections of the bill. what 1ower would the National Government have in the premises? I will answer that question by saying. that if any officer of a State court violates any of the provisions of any section of the bill providing for criminal prosecution. we would ascertain the fact through the examination and we could punish such officer accordingly In the Federal court for such violation.
