MONDAY, Dec, y. 1889
The National Intelligencer of the Sd inst, thus
announces the opening of the lst session of the 26th
Congress.
At the appointed hour, yesterday, the SENATE of
the United States formed a quorum, made the usu-
al orders for the opening of the Session, and then
adjourned.
In the House. OF REPRESENTATIVES, when the
House was called to order, although the roll was
not called through, it was ascerlained that every
member, save one, Of the House, WAS present; a
thing without example, and which, ii is probable,
wlll ever remain without a parallel.
General anticipation was realized, in finding the
course pursued in calling the representation from
NEW JERSEY, to bea stumbling-block In The way of
the organization of the House. The CLERK decli-
ninS to call any more than one Of the six Represen.
tatlves having the Governors certificate If election,
on the ground that the seats Of the five other MEM
bers were disputed, a debate arose upon the mat.
ter, which continued until the approach of night
put a stop to it for the day, though it seemed, to all
appearance, to be quite as far from an end, when
night came, as it was when it began.
1t is a source of qualification TO be able 10 state
that there was no evidence, either in or ont of the
House, OF any remarkable excitement on this cues.
tion' There were some hundreds Of strangers a.
bout the Hall, more Than the galleries found ready
room tor but curiosity, merely, was evidently the
motive that brought nineteen.twentietbs of Them
there.

Resolutions, OF the authority, diguity, and records
Of the highest brunch Of the Legislature, TO the
pride Of the Execuiiyei Witness the conversion Of
the Veto Power, TO an ordinary negation of The
will Of the Representatives Of the People! Witness
the negation Of the Constitutional control on this
Veto Power, in the case Of the Bill for tho Repeal
Of the Treasury Circular, and the insulting reason
assigned, that the Legislature had not been able to
frame a Bill Ineligible to the President! Witness
the persistent and successful endeavor to keep the
finances under the control Of Executive ordinance,
in uncontested violation Of the will Of the Legisla-
ture and the People! Witness the successful OBJ
struction Of examinations into alleged abuses, under
the authority of The Houses Of Congress, on the al
legation Of n PrerogdtiDe control Of the Executive,
over the official persons and records, access to
which was essential to conduct them TO any issue
Witness the portentous claims, that all officers, not
Judicial, are Executive, responsible only to the
Head of that Department and that the exposition
Of laws is TO be as that Head Understands" not
as the Judiciary may interpret them; and the actu-
al, and as far as is known, uncensured resistance Of
an Executive official to a Judicial mandate, on the
prctext Of these doctrines! Witness the practical
abrogation Of the constitutional participation of the
Senate in the power OF appointment-the habitual
and sncontesicd employment of that power as the
Instrument Of official patronage. and Of its corrcla-
tive, the poger of removal from Office, as tho instrr-
ment OF party yindictiseness! Witness the denial
Of Just and effective visitorial control Of official de-
linqueneies-the Post Office Department at one
time bankrupt from Encouragement. and convicted
by vote Of Congress of breach of the Constitution
more recently, the purloinment of millions in ano-
Their Department, yet no delinquent in either dismis
sed for participation in malfeasance and corruption,
or connivancc in them.
docs this just account of an Imperial ascenden-
cy and prefoga,ive, exerted without repression, de-
scribe the Executive Department of a Republican
Government Is not such an Executive authorized
to claim the offices of the State as a property-Me
spoil eta oictort And it has used them. aud il
does use them as a spoil: And it is q victor over
the principles Of our Govefnmeni-ove the best in
terests of four country-over the safeguard, of our
Union.''
