The tenure Of Office law is likely TO
bring about results, in case the president
is convicted and removed, that were not
looked for by all who gave it their votes.
That there will be general sweep of Office
holders throughout the country upon the
advent of Senator Wade 10 the presidency
seems to be conceded and as there is also
a general concurrence of opinion that the
public welfare demands such reform, the
republican majority in the senate will find
little difficulty in giving such changes their
assent.
But by filing these Offices by new ap-
poirtments it is equally certain that Mr..
Wade will make his selections exclusively
from the radical wing of the party. Gen
Grant, when he comes into office, will
thus find all the places under him filled In
advance and as the radicals have the ma
iority in the republican party in the senate
so as to render changes IN this respect
quite out of the question, his patronage
and power will be reduced to the mimi
mum. He will not be able to make even
q single change when he becomes president
except at the pleasure of that wing of the
republican party which accepted him as a
candidate only at the last moment, and
when they found his nomination to be in
evitable. So far as controlling the pat
ronage of the government is concerned,
one year Of Office for Mr.. Wade will be
quite as potential as four. 1t can all be
disposed of within time and put beyon
tho reach of executive interference.
Ifthe selections for office are fit and ju-
dicious, this result may prove advantageous
We are so thoroughly convinced of the alb
solute necessity of some reform in our sys-
tenn of appointments to office, which shall
give it greater stability aud make it more
independent of party changes, that We
shall welcome almost anything which
promises these results. But We do no
think that this precise turn of affairs wa
foreseen by all those in the senate AM
house who gave the bill! their support. |
is urged with great deal of emphasis il
certain quarters that the removal of tn
president is absolutely essential to the sue
cess Of the republican party in the comm
election. Possibly it may be, though W
do not sec precisely how. But we do Sc
very clearly that it will deprive Genera
Grant, when elected, Of all power to regu
late the distribution of the patronage o
the executive department, and will yes
the power substantially to control it for fiv
years, in the officer who who may be acl
log president during the year that remain
of Mr.. Johnson's term.-Neu Yor

NUMBER SO


The Day-Book, as its readers know,
does not discuss save incidentally, the debt
question first, because it is wholly aud
absolutely beyond surgery, and must be
settled by the inexorable logic of events;
and secondly, and indeed mainly, because
it is folly to dream of any possible settle
ment, peace, order or indeed any national
safety, until the abolition lunacy is explo-
ded, and white supremacy is restored IN
the south. So long as the Abolition luna
cy dominates the American mind. the
mongrel faction will hold power at Wash
ington, and so long as the latter continues
it will keep any army in the south and so
long as that army is there, industry, pub
lie order, society Itself perishes, until ma
tional bankruptcy and universal misery
compel the people to rise us and blot out
mongrelism in the blood Of the mongrels,
and restore the union as it was when this
accursed madness began. But if the north
could escape the consequences OF its bound
less crimes-if it could prevail on JEFF.
Davis and tie rebels to set up their con.
federacy, and thus restore social order, in
dustry, peace and prosperity to the mighty
regions south of the Ohio and Potomac
rivers, and leave the north to struggle un-
der its enormous burdens as best it might
without the burden Of mongrelism then
let US see what would be the result of the
great greenback scheme which some Of our
western friends are so fascinated with.
Suppose they put presidential candidate
in the field who represents it, and they
elect him and get into power, what then !
Why, they will pay off the bonds in green
backs, and The bondholder, putting these
in lauds, &c., time must come when the
result would be the deprecated greenbacks
would be found in the hands of the labor
ing class, and all the lands and real prop
erty of the country in the hands of the
former bondholders? Nor is that all-the
Abolitionists would turn round and say
'' You have brought bankruptcy and all
this misery and wee on the people" and
demand that you be expelled from power,
and you would be. The democracy, not
the radicals, would thus be held response
bic for the ruin of the country. and the
bondholders-the people who furnished
the abolitionists with the means to do all
the boundless mischief IN the premises
would come out ahead and actually own
all that was left from the mighty ruin.
Indeed it seems to us that this greenback
scneme is about the ouly thing possible by
which the bond question can save itself.-

FROZEN TO DEATH.-0n Wednesday

Butler was found about n milo and
three quarters from Bodie. The last
that was seen Of him while alive was Mt
Bridgeport, on Monday morning, when
he left that place in search OF some OF
his work oxen, and it is therefore a
matter of doubt how long he suffered or
when he died. When found he was 10 q
posture that would indicate that he
become exhausted from fatigue and n
sunk to rise no more. 1t would appear
that he was conscious of freezing, as ho
had Gu, his boots off and wrapped one
foot up in his blanket, which he had
torn into strips the other foot was en-
tirelr bare and showed that no been
travelling in the snow. The deceased
was a native of Wisconsin and had
served II term Of three years in the Sd
regiment of cavalry from that state
had been in several hard fought battles,
and upon receiving his discharge, came
70 this place where two OF his brothers
are now residing. Two Of his sisters
reside at Bodie. He was in his 10Th
year, and has been cut down in the
midst of his usefulness, and his untime-
IL death is deeply lamcnted BY his rela-
tives and this community at large
