THE TENURE OF OFFICE BILL.

In The NEWS of yesterday we published this
BILL vetoed on Saturday last by tue President,
but which has nevertheless since become law
Congress passed the bill over the veto, without
debate, as though there could be no kind OF reason
for listening to objections to it from the Execu.
tive this were the first act Of Legislative usur.
patton on the part Of the Thirty-ninth Congress
(instead of being one Of the last) it would have
excited the surprise, if not the alarm of every
lover of his country, for, to all intents and pur-
poses, it subverts our present form of government
abolishes the Executive, and enthrones Congress
as the supreme power Of the land. We are now
about giving the world an example Of new
species of oIgarchy. But the Military Recon
struction Bill so directly and palpably abrogates
every yestige of constitutional liberty in the Gov
ernment Of the United States, and from the i'm
mense interests Immediately at stake, it 80 en-
tirely oyershadows every other Act Of the late
Congress that this Tenure Of Office Bill has receiv-
ed but little attention anywhere.
Its provisions were, perhaps, principally aimed
at the Cabinet oficers,-the Presidents advisers,
who are thus made entirely irresponsible to the
President; and yet, most singular to say, the Pre-
oA1o ooto VI oAoSo A4S
minister's. Could the force of unreason further
go? The President in his Veto Message reviews
the language of the Constitution on this subject,
and also the practice in the Government from it's
foundation, together with the Legislation bearing
on the matter, and the opinionsEof the chief judi
cial minds. As early as 1889, it was attempted to
enact Bill of this character. The Federalist 80
interpreted the Constitution, viz: That the Presi-
dent shall have no power to remove civil officers.
But, on the other hand, an exclusive power of re-
1noyal by the President was defended as true ex-
position Of the text Of the Constitution. It was
maintained that there are certain causes for which
persons ought to be removed from Office, without
being guilty of treason, bribery or malfeasance,
and that the nature Of things demands that it
should be So The only way in which the evil
could be avoided would be by the Senate sitting
always. The right to remove from Office for GER
tain causes is clearly the prerogatve of the Exec-
tive,-conferred upon him by the Constitution.
Mr.. JOHNSON in his Veto Message quotes the
opinion Of Mr. MADISON. in reference to this sub
ject, given while the controversy was pending. 1t
is clear and decisive in favor of the Executive; and
it was SO decided at the time by Congress.
The question has often been raised in subsequent
times of high excitement, but the practice was not
changed. During the long and bitter controversy
between Congress and ANDREW JACKSON, who made
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1867-03-08

q large number Of removals, the subject was long
and earnestly debated in the Senate but the prao-
tice was permitted to remain as it had been adopt
ed at tho formation of the government In 1889,
the question came before tie Supreme Court, and
it's ruling was in conformity with this same prac-
tice. DANIEL WEBSTER was opposed to it, as in
deed his political party had been, more or less from
the commencement, but he nevertheless had the
candor to say that the controversy had been set
tied by construction by the practice Of the govern
ment, and by statute.
The President returned the Bill to the Senate,
because he considered it at variance with the
spirit of the Constitution and the practice Of the
Government.
