EEFLT OF KEYEEDT JOHNSON

BALTIMORE, October 20.
To Messrs Alfred D. Evans s. 5. Shipley and e. r
Dulany:
Collaboration note OF yesterday IS received
regret taat professional engagements which am now
di-chuIging and which promise to occupy all OF the
coming week. pat It out OF my power TO act as coun-
sel IN the matter you TeteFto
IN compliance with verbal request OF one Of your
members, proceed briea. to state my opinion Oh the
legal question which the matter presents:
Has the governor in the recess OF the general as
semJty. the power to remove the police commission
ers Of the city fer official miscoHduc-?' have no
doubt that he has.
The words of the law are 50 plain as to admit Of but
one construction. The duties Of the board are pre-
scrbgd and to guard against failure 70 perform them
a contingency thai might happen, tile law says: "For
official misconduct, any Of the said commissioners may
be removed by concurrent vote Of The two houses OF
tile general assembly, Or by the governor during the
recess thereof"
This Is the only provision On tie subject. Tie Of
fence guarded against is : official misconduct The
penalty for It is not fine or Imprisonment, but reno
val from Office alone and the authority to investigate
All tAe facts and enforce the penalty is, if in session,
the general asSemby II not IN session, the governor.
Tier being now legislative Teeess, the jurisdiction
and the power to award the penalty Is ID the governor
i is suggested: am told, that before he can remove
the commissioners the fact OF their Official misconduct
must be tried By court and jury. This Is absurd.
!. Because the courts are not named in the law,
either directly implied as having any jurisdiction
in the case.
,. Because the governor, who can alone render the
judgment Of removal las devoived upon him the en-
tire responsibility and, HAT being so, ii must be for
bin exclusively to investigate and decide the fact, and
not avoid responsibility bT referring il 70 the courts.
5. Because be has 10 right to call upon court Or
jury 20 assist him. and no one else has such right.

writing under date of the 80 uEt, says that the
facts regarding the removal or resignation Of secretary
Stanton were as follows: lie is now engaged ID max
ing out his report and as soon is flushed, he will
undoubtedly retire His resignation has been pre-
ciptaed by the discovery lately made that Mr. Stan
ton has filed nearly all the vacancies in the regular
army without tile knowledge or assent Of Mr.. John
son. He has been for some time making out the
commissions aid forwarding them to the appointees,
with orders for them to report Gen Grant for duty
Gen. Grant suPposing them, appeared from the
face Of their papers duly appointed By che president
has assigned them to du-y, ana they are nov service
withou. the knowledge OF the president
On learning this fact, the president was very angry
and sent for Mr. Stanton and demanded an czplana-
ton. The result was the retirement Of Ar. Stanton
az soon as lie could make out bis repog on which he
is now engaged.
The belief is gaining ground that Gen. Sherman is
to succeed Ar. Stanton. He cannot Of course, hold
the Office and that of lieutenant general at the same
time, but at the request Of Gen. Grant who desires
tie hearty cooperation Of the var office in the ork
