FROM THE CAPITAL.
The Congressional Committees-The President
and the Tenure of Office Law.

Special telegram to the Richmond Dispatch.
WAsHlSGroS, October 23.-It is given ont
that the Committee on Retrenchment, now
examining into affairs of the Printing Bureau,
Treasury Department, will ask Secretary
McCulloch TO suspend 5. NJ. Clarke, superin
teudent OF bureau above named.
Members OF the House Committee to inquire
into the assassination OF Lincoln arrived to-
day, but did not tran sact any business except
to determine to proceed with the inquiry to-
morrow.
Certain editors of newspapers suggest that
in processing 10 treat the tenure Of Office law
rs unconstitutional by removal instead OF sus-
pension OF Stanton the President is inconsist-
eut with his arowed policy TO regard all acts
of Congress AS legal and valid until decided
to be- the reverse by Supreme Court.
In answer to this it is understood that MT.
Johnson makes this distinction between re-
sponsibility and duty under the tenure office
act and other acts of Congress passed over his
veto, and which he yet regards as unconstitu'
tioual-namcly, that in the matter of re.
lnoyal Of members of the Cabinet there are
but two persons who can take the initiative
and do the act or acts that will make :: case
for the adjudication of the Supreme Court,
and those two persons are the President and
the Cabinet officer removed; whereas, III the
other laws of Congress other officers ana cil-
zeus are the parties directly affected, and
are required to perform or refuse TO perform
the acts that make up 4 case Tor the decl-
sion of the Supreme Court. In this view OF
the subject Mr.. Johnson was the only one who
could take such action rs would eventually
carry the case before the court. No one could
take the initiative for him in the matter Of re-
moyal of a Cabinet minister He alone has
the power of removal of that officer.
In the execution of other acts OF Congress
the Executive necessarily leaves il 10 the par
ties asgrieved or whose rights are Directly
affected by the laws, 10 test the constitution
ality of them.
General Grant has been i'll for the past TWO
DAYS. and has, therefore, rot visited the war
Department or headquarters during that Pc
Rod. He is expected 10 be out tomorrow.
