The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1868-02-28

next, on Il motion In behalf of General
Thomas for II Dsdi,dtiHluS to compel Mr..
Stanton to turn over the office, Us di-
rcctUd by the President. This seems TO
be the object tonight, and II carried out
Will doubtless result in Il decision ad-
verse to the cOnstitutiOnulity of the
tenure of Office bill, sO-Cullcd, and in la-
vOr of the Presidents power under the
Constitution to remove civil Officers in
the manner proposed in the case of Mr.
Stanton. Tue House Radicals are lu-
rluus over the Presidents action and
threaten to impcach him ut once. The
feeling in that direction was 50 strong
this afternoon that Butler and Boutwell,
found no difficulty whatever in having
the resolution for adjournment over
until Monday rescindCd, and leave OBJ
tanned for the So called Reconstruction
Committee to report atany time ON this
new sensation. SuntOu's CummuuiCa-
ton to the House, enclosing the Prcsi-
dents order removing him from the
War Office, was referred to the COM
mittcc, and they meet tomorrow for
the purpose of considering the subject.
In the midst of the excitement that
now prevails it Is of course, impossible
to predict with amy degree Of certainty
what urn affairs will take, but there Is
no reason to believe that any force will
bc applied to remove Mr.. Stanton from
the War Department in advance Ui II
Judicial decision upon his right to re-
tura there as Secretary Of War. The
ImpuaChCr-, however, assert that they
have Il sure thing of it now, and only
await the action of the Reconstruction
Committee tomorrow. We shall see.
