To insist in the hr place that this law gnco
law respectfully submit 10 the third place whether II il be eonst
tona law and Mr. Stanton be within H. the facts th. present you
He has questioned whether the law was m ht
whether Mr. Stanton was within IT, ana tg n1 that thew
thought the law unconstitutional. and that ne hau no
reason to beeDe tn nbmtcd TO their consdcra
ZION fine fact that he acted upon and
within fine law IN the case was within it, Well, 1t seems
fine President has not only been thus anxious 10 AVOID
bu has taken means avoid collision with the senate
and that he las actually things else obeyed MT
1rtis went on TO alIude 10 tho commission IN when
changes had been made by the President and win ms
sanction TO the removal and suspension OF collectors %c
and said il had doubtless been done under TINS
law But when emergency arose, as III
the case OF Mr.. Stanton, when he must either
act or abandon the power that he hO!ds'
il was insisted that he must muck against the
law and take every possible opportunity to give It
blow on questions Of administrative duty merely the
President felt bound TO obey it. When this emergency
arose however so that this department OF the Govern
ment could not be carried on, he must meet ~
He did not suffer embarrassment or ulm-
Guilty in the public service because OF the
snsnenson or removal of fraudulent collector. These
changes in commission had nothing 20 do with TINS SUD
ject They made subject TO the conultlohs pre-.
scI1bed by law OF which is that the senate must
consent to removal N5t only the law OF Congress Dt
the Constitution the law of the land The changes IN
the Treasury Department also have nothing 10 90 WIN
All officers hold subject TO the power OF
removal vested somewhere. He saw nothing
on this subject estOppe growing out OF the acton OF
President either i'm the message TO the Senate or De
Cenber in the sending 10 the senate OF Oces OF
suspension OF different officers that has any
Office act as affecting the Of Mr.. stanton The
law might be constitutional, the President might have
acted and might have been bound TO act under IT, SUM-
II Mr. Stanton was not within IL, the case remains as
was originally and the not being WITHIN thdt law
the first ortice is entirely without foundation
[A this point Cms pleaded fatigue and motion Of Senator
Johnson the adjourned until u O'Clock tomorrow and " $3.50
O'Clock the Senate went into and aterWad
