Correspondence of the Baltimore Sum-
Conflict of CONGRESS and the E.eeutive. system OF
other Veto to Come-Fa1lure of Appropriation
Bills
WASHINGTON April 25
The conflict between Congress and the Execu-
tive in relation 10 the removals and appointments
cannot longer be deferred The temper of the
Senate is decidedly hostile, and it's action will
be more aggressive than it has ever been. If two
more votes be added to the Republican majority
by the admission of Colorado the Senate will COM
mand two-thirds power, and legislation may be
conducted independently of the Executive veto or
of Constitutional restrictions.
The provision about to be adopted denying pay
or emolument to civil officer swho may be appoint
ed by the President, until he shall be confirmed
by the Senate, is intended to prevent the Presi-
dent from removing obnoxious partisans from Of
flee and substituting for them faithful and capa-
BILE men. The President, within the last few days.
has dismissed a number of pOstmasters in Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, and is about to enter
upon general system Of reform, which will sweep
his Radical opponents from posts of inhence and
emolument. He will, as far possible, select for
office conservative of the party which elected
him; men who can be relied upon to stand by his
policy of restoration and promote it, at the cleo
ton next Fall by effecting thorough change of
the political character of the next House of Rep
resentatlveS.
Two hundred members of the present House
are fighting for reelection, and the President and
his power of removal and appointment stand in
their way. OF course Congress will endeavor to
head him off, and will fight it out that line, if
it takes not only all summer but all the autumn.
The postoffice appropriation BILL with the provi
Sions depriving presidential appontees of all pay
for services will pass The President will veto the
bill, because it is clearly unconstitutional. Will
the Senate pass it over the Presidents head p
They will do this if they can, and with the expect
ed addition of two votes they expect to have two
thirds for this and any other project which they
may deem effective for their purpose.
But if, in consequence of this conflict, appro-
priations should fail for the postal service, the
loss will not fall more heavily upon the Presidents
friends than his opponents. The President will
not probably, be deferred from his of re-
form by the menaces of Congress. If he removes
some hundreds OF thousands of the lncumbents of
the chief offices which in his gift, and no pro
vision be made to pay those officers whom he may
appoint, then the offices will remain vacant, and
may be shut up till the of Congress upon the
Executive shall have ceased. The custom-houses
and postofices and internal revenue offices might
be closed up for year two, and so all other Of
fees which might be left vacant in the course of
the conflict.
It has now become apparent that Congress can
not adiOurn during the term for which 1t elect
ed without yielding the field to the President.
