the time when it should be paid, the place where
it should be paid, and then appropriated the
money for its payment, the act of the Secretary
of the Treasury was purely ministerial. BY law,
the Secretary was made the head of the Depart
ment whose directions would be obeyed by the
inferior officers.
Judges Curtis, Grier, and Campbell, stated
that they wished it understood that their con-
currence in the decision extended no further
than this-that upon the application for man
damus to enforce the payment of salary, the
title Of the office could not be tried
1t is generally understood that nearly the
whole Court certainly malrity) were with
Mr.. Lawrence on the great questions, but that
they did not decide it only because it was not
absolutely necessary to the decision of the cause.
And / may say here, that many of our most
eminent lawyers and distinguished men, among
whom we noticed Mr.. Ewing of Ohio, Mr..
Badger of North Carolina, Mr.. Berrien OF
Georgia Mr.. Chase of Ohio Mr.. Preston Of
Kentucky, not only congratulated Mr.. Lawrence
on his admirable argument, but expressed their
entire concurrence with his views. We hope
the question will so be brought before the
Court as will admit of no lodging the question
and it could be so brought up by excepting te

LETTER FROM "PETER SCHLEHIML."
WASHINGTON, FEB. 8, 1855

DEAR TRANSCRIPT: The Supreme Court have
decided the case of Goodrich rs. the Secretary
of the Treasury, but have left, as we feared
they would, the great question as to the power
of removal undecided. In their opinion, the
Court say, that question Of great delicacy and
importance had been argued at the bar with
great research and ability, which, however, in
their view of the present case, they did not
think it necessary to express an opinion upon ;
but that whenever it should come before them
in such a manner as to render it imperative on
the Court to do so, they would decide 1t accord
ing to their view Of the Constitution and laws.
That in the present case, which was an appllca-
ton for mandamus to enforce the payment OF
a salary, the Court thought 1t not distinguisha'
BILE from any debt due from the Government,
and that to allow the salary to be collected In
this way would be indirectly to sue the Govern
ment, which could not be sued directly. The
Court also said that mandamus would only
lie to enforce ministerial act. That the
payment of money from the Treasury required
not only the act of the Secretary, but also the
acts of the Auditor and Comptroller. In short,
that the machinery of the Department which
was designed for the very purpose OF preventing
money from being drawn from the treasury
without all the checks provided therefor, rem
dered writ of mandamus improper.
Judge Mclean delivered learned and elsb-
crate dissenting opinion. He sustained to the
full the positions urged by Mr.. Lawrence IN his
argument. He said that the power of removal
had never been considered applicable to JUDI,
cial officers. That executive, Legislative, ana
judicial construction had been against it. That
the debate in 1889 related only to executive
officers, as such. That the act of Congress
adapting the Ordinance of 1887 to the Constitu-
ton of the United States, showed the same dis.
tinction. That judicial officers were not part OF
the executive department, but of an independi,,
ent and coordinate department, and that all
the motives which in the debate of 1889 were
drawn from responsibility or policy, were, IN
regard to judicial officers, in the opposite scale.
And as to mandamus, he thought that where
the act of Congress fixed the amount to be paid,

Have pity on the poor
Their wontcd harvests fail;
And loud on wintry winds
Ascends the starving wall.
The " famine year. hath come;
o. open wide the door!
Have pity on the poor,
And God will bless your store.
Have pity on tho poor
Who, in these winter storms,
Stand crouching from the blast,
With gaunt and shivering forms:
The orphan at tho gate.
The widow at your door!
Have pity OH the poor,
And God will bless your store.
Have pity OH tho poor!
They're with us Away" here;
Bind up the broken heart,
Wipe of tho sca!ding tear.
He "lendcth to the Lord"
Who openeth his door;
Have pity on tho poor,
And God will bloss your store.
Have pity on the poor.
Pale children lift their hands;
And starving Womanhood
A, Plenty's threshold stands
GIVE, OF your bread ard wine.
Throw open, wide, your door,
Have pity on the poor,
And God will bless your store.
Have pity on the poor!
o! send them not away
Unchocrod, uncl1d, unfed,
To meet the winter day!
For Want may grimly stand,
Some day, al your own door;
Have pity on the poor,
And God will bless your store.
