Was there ever a more dis'graceful exhibit
than this of the use Of official position for
private ends The surveyorship Of Colorado,
'the best Office in the gift Of the President
was by Ashley made matter of bargain and
sale, stipulated in writing. It's legitimate
patronage was farmed out in advance as the
price Of obtaining it, and an arrangement
was entered into by which the chief solicitor
and the recipient were to corruptly use its
power in city and town lot speculations.
a." said Mr.. Ashley, twill probably be
chairman of the Committee on Territories,
and then l will know in advance all the pro.
posed expenditures in the Territories and
post you. Write one letter for me, and the
other to show" And Mr.. Ashley was made
chairman ofthe Committee on Territories in
the last, as he is in the present Congress-
Case was appointed Surveyor General Of Col
orado; "my brother Eli was made chief
clerk, and my brother William was given
snug berth; the programme was carried
out in oil its details; and now it would be in
teresting to know how much plunder the i'm
maculate Representative Ashley has pocket
ed from this corrupt and scandalous use of
the power Of his official position. With
these facts before them the people will very
naturally conclude that however censurable
the President may be, ii is not for
such men as Mr. Representative Ashley
to frame his indictment, or such men as
Simon Cameron to sit in judgment upon him.

Tenure of Office Bill.
Abstrac, orthe Presidents veto


The following is a synopsis of the
Presidents message votoing the Ten
ure of Office BILL
The President quotes the language
of the first section of the bill, which,
he says, contains the material portion.
In bis Judgment the bill conflicts with
the Constitution in providing that the
President shall not remove any Of the
civil officers whose terms of service are
not limited by law without the advice
and consent of the Senate. The ques-
ton is not a new one That the pow
er Of removal is Consttutonally in
vested i'm the President is principle
which has been not moro distinctly
declared by Judicial authority and
commentators than it has been uni
formly practiced upon Legislative and
the Executive department of the gov
eminent Herefers, in support Of this
opinion, to the discussions which have
arisen at various times on the subject.
The question first arose as early as
1889, in the House Of Representatives,
on the bill to establish IA Department
Of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Madison,
