Appeals TO the President.

Az applications are frequently made to
the President Of the United States by claim
ants who consider themselves aggrieved by
the decisions of the Heads of the Executive
Departments, and who, therefore, appeal TO
him for reversal of those decisions. it is
deemed proper to publish the following let
ter addressed by the President 10 highly
respectable banking tirm, which sets forth
his reasons for declining TO entertain such
appeals o
WASHINGTON. Dec. II. 1888.
GENTLEMEN: | have received your letter
of the 9th inst, containing formal appeal
to me from decision of the Secretary at the
Treasury against you on two points: LIST, his
refusal to permit you to deposit At San Fran
cisco any portion of the Government loan
taken by you under the proposals OF the
Secretary. Of the 18th Of December, 1853; and
I'd, his refusal To refer the question To the
Attorney General.
In answer have to inform you that an
appeal does not lie to the President from the
decisions Of the Heads Of the different Exc
culve departments. This has been settled
both by judicial decisions and by the prac-
tce Of the Government. including that OF the
present Administration. Their acts and de-
cisions are the acts and decisions of the Pre-
sident for which he is held responsible; and
they are his in fact in all cases of difficulty
and Importance. 1t is for this, besides other
reasons, that cabinet consultations are held
twice in each week, where questions of pub
lie interest as they arise, are cnnyassed aud
decided. Ii the President were bound to
hear appeals from the Heads OF the different
Departments in all cases where claimants
consider themselves aggrieved, it would be
impossible for him to undergo the labor. Ia
that case every claimant dissatisfied with the
decision of any Department might appeal 10
him for redress: and he would be obliged to
re-cxamine the documents and papers and
re-hear the arguments which had been sub
mitted " such Department, and either affirm
reverse or modify its decision. This would
entirely change his intimate relations with
his confidential advisers, converting them
into inferior courts and himself into u
superior court of errors and appeals
Besides, there would be no equality between
private parties and the Government. When
the decision Of the head of Department
was in favor Of the claimant, it would be
final; but, if it were against the claimant
he would be entitled to an appeal to the
President The truth is, such an appellate
jurisdiction would render it impossible for
the President to discharge his high duties to
the country, and would resolve his office into
tribunal 10 hear and determine private
claims in the last resort
Nor is there the least necessity for any
such jurisdiction. Congress, by the act Of
February "a. 1865, established Court of
Claims for precisely such cases rs you have
presented. To that Court or to Congress
beg leave respectfully to refer you.

Case OF Lynching.

A stone mason named Powers. engaged
upon the new State House, Columbus, ). g.,
having given pretty free utterance to "SedI-
tious sentiments" on more than one Occa'
sion, WAS lately arrested, taken before the
Mayor of the city. and examined IN presence
of the Commissioner Of the Circuit. AL
though it did not appear that the nccusoh
was guilty of tampering with slaves, yet 1t
WAS clearly i'll evidence that he WAS an
Anti-Slavery man. lie was, therefore, says
a writer in the Charleston Mercury, ordered
to be escorted from prison To the outskirts OF
the city by the Marshas. As threats Of
rescue had been made by other stone ma
sons. he was carried through the town nj
eleven o'clock. A. NJ, and through the State
House yard where these men were at work,
a crowd of course in attendance. No At
tempt ut rescue WAS made, and At the Char
lotte junction Of the city the Vigilance Com
mittee took him in hand, stripped him u the
waist, and inflicted twenty-nIne lashes aud
a coat Of tar and feathers. Hence he was
forwarded by railroad tn Charleston.
On arriving in Charleston he. continues
the Mercury, walked to the Guard House

The Boston Journal says 1--WE hear 1t
rumored that new American organization.
upon secret basis. is on the taps. and has
already made considerable progress through,
ont the State. It's platform Of principles
entirely excludes the anti-slavery plank, but
in it's place is inserted one of opposition TO
to the present State administration. The
scheme is supposed to have been incubated
in Boston. and, it ia .nid. an endeaVor ~
being made to give it national character.
for the purpose Of influencing the next Pres

The falling in Of store, and the killing

OF the persons killed. was an old merchant.
There was not as great weight upon the hoor
on this occasion as there had been many
times previously, and it is supposed that it
was the settling Of the arch in the cellar,
that caused the accident In addition to two
persons killed, several we're severely wonn-
