The military Absolntism Bill.

The dictatorship bin passed the House
yesterday BY what may be called a strict
party vote. every member elected as Re-
publican falling into line when The whip
was cracked, and joining in the chorus of
"ayes." A most remarkable bin is that
one that the House itself will look upon
with a feeling very far removed from ad-
miration. should it ever again experience
a spasmodic attack Of discretion It IS
based upoI the idea, first, that Grant can
not. By any possibility, die or resign
Should either Of these results be brought
about by human or Divine inteFposition,
the bill falls as a dead letter. and with it
away goes the whole scheme of reconsirue-
ton, for there is no provision. comforting
the right Of succession upon anybody else.
Then, again, Grants impeceability and
infallity are recognized and asserted, for
he may do as he pleases. none daring to
modest or make him afraid. Mr.. Bingham
responds that ''the breath Of Congress can
unmake Generals as it has made them -
but history does not give US any particu-
lar instances of the "unmaking'' of a Gen
eral, with an army at his back, against
his own consent. Something of the kind
was attempted in the case of Cromwell, but
it was not attended with any great sue
cess.
II il however son1efbino of a consola-
ton to know that 1t was never intended to
make the bill law. It was inaugurated as
a huge joke to Brighten the Southern peo-
pie into good behavior, and especially to
make naughty boy by the name of Han
cock conduct himself with more propriety
than be has displayed hitherto. It was
not contemplated to pass it in the Senate,
That august body never INDUCES in jokes
of such practical kind. So the legisla-
tive bugaboo will probably never again be
heard Of except, perhaps, in one of those
windy debates for which the Senate is re-
markable. It eertaiuly Fever will become
the law Of the land.
