7HE LAST OF THE TENURE-OF-OFFI('

ACT.

This bill gave rise to another discussion in the
Senate on the reception of a message from the Besse
announcing its non-concurrence. Mr. Trumbull
made a long speech in support of his motion to It'
i
sist, and it was carried against the motion to recede
by the same votes as before. It came up again c'll
the 31st March, when Senator Trumbull brongb,o
up the report of the Committee on Conference to
the Senate, and Mr. Butler in the House. Ih
bill which we last week gave, as amended, rePeab
sect the first and second ns of the original Tees ,
Teo
of-Office Act of March 2, 1867. The first section
of the Senate amendment is left untouched ; the
second section is amended so as to read as follor".;
" That during any recess of the Senate the President,ji
hereby empowered, in his discretion, to suspend anY Tgo't
officer apvinted by and with the advice and eonsen'l;
the Senate, except judges of the United States C"urto
until the end of the next session of the Senate, ani;
designate some snitablo person, subject to be removed to
his discretion by the designation of another to perforat'ch
duties of such suspended officer in the meantime, and suthe
person so designated shall take the oaths and give
bonds required by law to be taken and given by the
pended officer, and shall, during the time ho perform'
duties, be entitled to the salary and emoluments of sucs,
officer, no part of which shall belong to the offioersll3o
pended; and it shall be the duty of the president within
days after the commencement of every session of the Sensts,,.,
except for any office which in his opinion ought not to v",
filled, to nominate all persona to fill all vacancies in efgce,
which exist to the meeting of the Senate, whether tee„;
porarily filled or not, and so in the place of all officesji
suspended ; and if the Senate during to
such session
refuse to advise and consent to an appointment in 6
place of such suspended officer, then, and not otherwlso
the President shall nominate another person as 0°13,,
practicable to said session of the Senate for said offiee;ar,
This is the shape in which it has become law. lie
Butler, who reported it, thought the section on the
removal and reinstatement of officers repealed the
Tenure-of-Office Act as though it had never beeof
passed. He did not think it altered the power
ti,
the President from what he had under the Lopstto
tution. Mr. Logan wished to know whether o,
difference between the repeal of the 'rewire-el,
Office Bill and the report of the Conference Cooll9lod
tee was not the difference between tweedledant a
tweedledec? Mr. Butler said he would not Ps
t t
so strong. He thought the difference was right the
dee
other way ; it was the difference between tweet
and trveedledum. The House passed the bill by 13,
against 67, all the Democrats, and 17 Republican
making up the Nays. When taken to the Sel33te,
.00
Mr. Trumbull gave quite a different interpretntith,
there to that given in the House by Butler. 13°,rf,
however, appeared to be satisfied, and the cons' tee
which looked for a split, is surprised. The 5e1)„,3116
concurred in the Report by 42 to 8. Mr. spr%
and seven Democrats—Messrs. Cole, Fessesue,
Robertson, Sherman, and \Varner—refused to vote
d
Mr. Morton was not present. Mr. Grimes Iti°oo
" yea," and thus, at least for the present, has Pa;
settled a bill which has led to a fight all ronsog
first, between Congress and the President, eslleje
in Impeachment; next between the Senate and

House, ending in a compromise ; the Senate beloo,

f A New England " minister" of the days °- i 00
and thereabouts did not necessarily or probably Ipo-ro
marriage as a holy sacrament, and, judging from th P 0
lice of slaveholding Catholic countries, perhaps thei:gi,
not much authority for believing that if he had so ec'ci,
dered it he would have felt obliged to insist on its sylirtetle
ness in the case of a coloured couple. But still it is 3
startling, even to the reader who regards marriage blob
contract merely, to read a "form of marriage" "filiips,
was drawn up and used by the Rev. Samuel Fill ,0
a pastor in Andover, Massachusetts, for sixty Serge
from
i from 1710 to 1771. It appears that the negro
to'
and groom and the witnesses having been gathered od'
gether before the clergyman, the latter used first Woe
dress the intending husband and require him to Pr°o)
that "so far as shall be consistent with the relationtt
you now sustain as a servant, you will perform theorye
of a husband towards her; and in particular you Pro tlie
that you will love her; and that, as you shall Wei of,
opportunity and ability, you will take a proper care °
in sickness and in health, in prosperity and adversiti.
The bride for her part was then required to promiseo is
same things, and—as was also required of the grltder
respect of her—to say that she would be "true and
.0 110
ful to him and cling to him, only as long as God, I 011
0
Providence, shall continue his and your abode le td
place or places as that you can conveniently coulesucli
gether." The minister then declared to them that fort de
time as God should continue their place or places of 3 :pi
as aforesaid, and for so long as they "should behaVeo/
conduct themselves as obedient and faithful serveutsrte
"not as eye-servants, men-pleasers "—" toward th'i,ci,ier
spectivo masters and mistresses," they might coed to
themselves man and wife. "And finally," 11) 'loeloo
say to them, "I exhort and charge you to .beur3r°oo
you give place to the devil "—who, when be

used to conclude the ceremony, which seems to have isoti
a tolerably recognisable part of " the
great missi°

flighted children of Africa to a knowledge of the u

taM —lt cannot surely be necessary to remind any inte,olo,
reader that the purity of the blood determines every 11'101#
health and vigour. Holloway's medicine searches out the ell O 0

taint in the vital fluid, and neutralizes or expels it, so ue-tds
circulation supports the system in place of sowing the efte",
decay. When epidemics are a ivancing, and disease is
on the increase, it behoves every one to have a restorat'
these pills ready to set right any irregularity in stern'
bowels, or kidneys. Holloway's treatment is especiallYS;,e,
for the young, delicate, and nervous, who are moot
of any prevailing sickness, and whom violent measures "
endanger little less than the epidemic.oa
