MARCH Z. 1884.

After the transaction ofsome other bus ness
Mr.. CLAY rose, desiring TO PRESENT four reso-
buttons which he had prepared for the cons dera-
ton ofthe Senate. 1t Was not his purpose now
to engage in the discussion of them; but 10 pro-
pose that thcy be signed 10 SOME convenient
eiav, and m dc the special order for TINT day. He
wished however. TO accompany their pres ant2
ton with one or two explanatory ohsorv ttions
The first resolution asserted TINT the Pres d mt
by the Constitution. is not invested with the
power Of removal from office NJ his pleasure. The
second declared that Congress is authorized by
the Constitution to prescribe the tenure. terms.
and conditions of all offices. established by INV.
where the Constitution itself has no, affixed the
tenure The third instructed the Committee
on the Judiciary to inquire into the expcdiency
ofprovidng. BY law. TINT removal from office
shall not, in future. be made without the con-
currence of the Senate: and. when TINT body Is
not in scss'o on. the power sh7ll only be exercised
professionally. subject TO the cons derltion of the
Senate when it ConvenPs. And the fourth d.
reefs an inquiry BY the Committee on the Pest

deputy pos.-nastcrs. under certain restrictions.
These resolutions comprehend grave qucs-

was capable. and he felt firmly convinced that it
did not grant any such power TO the President.

The following is the account gisen OF the
dissentiors which are said 10 have existed
in the British Cabinet:
II appears that there were two points OF dit
ference. namely. the question as TO despatch OF
troops 10 the aid of Don Pedro, and certain
provisions i'm the intended Church Reform
Bill.
Lords Pal,nersor. Holland. and Brougham,
we understand, were for sending 5000 men to
Lisbon. Ia put an end TO the contest between
the brothers hv IA direct Interference. This
was opposed nv Lord Alihrop. MIR. Stanley,
III. Duke of Richmond, and Sir James Graham.
The alteration which rose out OF this diifer-
ance Of opinion is stated 10 have been uncour-
,eouslv warm, and mus; have recollections far
from agreeable.
The DISPUTE as to the intended Church Bill
relates. ii is understood, to certain, provisions
calculated TO catch the applause OF the D'ssen-
ters. Lord Broueham led the ihorouchgoers,
and was seconded nv Lord II bland and Others.
Mr.. STANLEY the Duke of Richmond, and Sir
James Graham were for Church-retorm, but
not for church-destruc'ion.
Lord Grey acted the part of mediator, but
in vain; he found in his worthy colleagues
much more zeal than discretion. The noble
premier had no resource bat appeal Ia the
King; and on Thursday, the l6 h. he ard his
hrother in-lnw, Mr.. Eiice, set out for Rrrgh-
ton and oil tanned an interview with his Ma
le>iv.
The question as to the proposed expedition
10 Portugal was settled. for the present, by the
Kings dissent; his Majesty declining TO APP
prove Of a NOV ement which manifestly would
lentanser the peace Of Europe.
The point AS to the Church was patched up
nv compromise. The Standard says, that
the King. after an honorable resistance, Weld
ed to Lord Grey i, and consented to all his pro-
posals. This. we ie'evc,i an error. Our
contemporary saws the following is tolerably
accurate sketch Of the outline Of the ministc-
rial proposition 5 1t now stands:
"Separa.c registrations to be granted to
D~senters.
! ..Residence to be peremtorily enjoined upon
the clergy
! "All fees and offerings to the clergy to be
at oil he'd
ssUnion. of Cc"onrie. aud Dcaneries to be
severed 1"
/ We can confidently state that he is misn-
formed. In lis present shape the ministerial
project goes considerably further; and the in
l;en'ions of Lord Brougham and his sec
lion of the Cabinet were still further IN the
{cXircme.

In such cause, he would arrest any one but
