son to make an absolute removal OF Stanton under
the law it existed prior to the of tho on
ure of Office bill, which is to be held unconstiu-
tional in this opinion.
Mr.. Stanton concurred when the bill was passed
and himself prepared part of the veto message de-
nying the power Of Congress to pass such an act.
The removal of Stanton having been accomplished

Stanton msy be reinstated, but being out Of Office
he will be compelled to seek legal means by man

before the Supreme Court of the United States for
adjudication. and by its decision the right of "a
State to hold office is to be decided. Under the old
law the Executive had power to suspend remove
and ,he suspension of Stanton was adopted for the
time being out of abundant caution. and in order
that the act might also be within the terms of the
tenure of Office bill but it in the first instance
the intention of the President to make an absolute
of Stanton sooner or later.
