The Presidents Power to Mako Appointments.
The following opinion of Attorney General
Stanbery on the subject Of appointments by
the President, has been made public
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE, Aug. 80.
Hon. 4. " RandaN, POSTMASTER Gcn0al:
SIR have considered the question which
you have submitted for my oplnlon--tbat Is to
to say, whether in cases where appointments
have been made of postmaStcrs IN the recess
prior to the last session OF the Senate, and
there was a failure during the session to make
a permanent appointment, either by the refusal
of the Senate 10 confirm the nominee, failure
to act on the nomination, or other cause, the
President can make another temporary APP
poinment in the present recess. The clause
of the CONSTITUTION under which the question
arises is as follows The President shall have
power to fill up all vacancies that may happen
during the recess of the Senate, by granting
commissions which shall expire at the end OF
their next session." From the facts stated it
does not appear that there was vacancy IN
til after the session was over
The Attorney General goes into L long re-
view Of the precedents established since the
foundation of the Government, and an exalul-
| nation OF the Constitution and laws on this
subject. He then says, in conclusion:
Finally when [ consider that the eonst1uc-
ton which denies the President the power to
ill a vacancy in the recess which first occurs in
the session, extends to all such vacancies with
out exception, as well to those not known until
the recess as to those known before; to those
occasioncd altogether by the neglect or failure
OF the Senate TO assent to a nomination, or to
act upon nomination; to those where the
fault is with the Senate, as we'll as to those
where the fault is with the President, cannot
escape the conviction that such a construction
is un>ound | am accordingly OF opinion that
the President has full and inderendent power
to fill vacancies in the recess of the Senate,
without any limitation as to the time when
they first occurred. [ have the honor to be,
very respectfully, HENRY NTANBERf,
Attorney General.

Gently made speech to the Vermont Agricul-
tural Society, from which the following extract
is taken, indicating the purpose Ct the North
ern States and Governors to cobtrol the mum
tons Of war within their respective jurisd
in conflict, if necessary, with the Federal
Executive. He said:
Leaving on hand at the final surrender OF
the enemy three uartera Ct million or rules

and munitions Of war adapted to all the exl-
gencies of her bloody work, vast enough Tor

land and sea-a sure defence IN loyal hands
against whatever enemies of the natlon--tou
vast and dangerous by far to be trusted within
the reach of any but its faithful and loyal
friends -.
The Washington correspondents of ,he Balti-
more Gazette says The impeachment Of the
President will probably occur soon after the
opening of Congress. Arms will probably be
distributed by act of Congress to the different
Northern States, and the Governors OF these
States have already held meeting, in which
they have lodged themselves to sustain Con,
eress in any emergency which may arise. All
this certainly looks very threatening, and unless
President johnson shows himself more OF
man, and strikes faster and harder than ne has
done, the days Of his power are numbered.
The Lyuchburg News says: 'The Jacobins,
rendered sancy we suppose by the results OF
the recant elections III Vermont and Maine,
and the detection of the Herald, seem disposed
to change their programme agaln, and are
returning to their default and threatolpg role.
Their orators, their editors, and their CORES
pondents do not now scruple TO hold over the
South the threat Of some undesirable, and on
that account more dreadful calamity, with
which they are to be visited, should they re,
fuse their ratification of the constitutional
amendments proposed by the congressional
plan of reconstruction.
