The. SfA&e I'M Monday, IN the long secret
session noticed in our Congressional Synopsis,
| voted that they did "not advise and consent
| to the removal of +. A. Stanton as Secretary
of. War Thus, under the. " tenure OF, Office
| bill" the removal of Stanton by President
johnson is made nugatory, and he steps back
into the war office. E-as5 r
To suppose that the President had not fore
seen this, is to suppose him fool. Of course
he knew very well what the Senate would do
and he made provision, as he supposed, to
meet the exigency. His object was to have
the constitutiOnality of the tenure of office
bill tested. So, every authority from Wash
ingtOn admits, he'had a distinct understand
ing with Gen. Grant, when he went into the
war Office, that when the Senate should rein
state Stanton, he (Grant) should refuse to sur
render the office, but compel Stanton to resort
to the Supreme Court for writ Of moidaD.us
to get possession. This would at once bring
before that Court, and to decision, the consti-
nationality of the tenure of Office bill.
But the radicals knowing, perhaps, or very
strongly surmising what would be the result
of such an. appeal to the Supreme Court, set
about it to defeat the Presidents plan. In
the first place they undertook to strike down
the Court by passing the two-thirds bill but
as that bill had not yet passed the Senate they
resorted to another dodge infinitely more infa-
nous. When Stanton went to the war office
with his reinstatement in his hand and de-
manded the keys" how did Grant carry out
his agreement with the Presidents The tele-
graph dispatches tell us: Stanton was re-
ceived with the utmost politeness, and the
office surrendered to him without moments
hesitation. Did Grant break his word with
the President lie to him9 Was he guilty of
all the falsehood, meanness and treachery
which the violation of such an agreement in
volvcd? Has he, since the radicals have
begun to talk seriously Of making him their
candidate for the presidency, made sufficient
progress in radicalism as to be capable of such
baseness! For the honor of poor humanity,
we hesitate to say SO; yet so it looks. Ger
tainly, if the President had for moment dis
trusted him, he says himself he should have
relieved Grant from the war office instantly.
Does the President tamely submit to being
thus cheated-betrayed The Washington
dispatches say not, but that in few DAYS he
wilLissuea proclamation by which all officers
OF the army are forbidden to hold or have any
communication with Mr.. Stanton as Secretary
OF War, and to obey any orders he may issue.
AS for poor Grant himself, it is said he is 50
alarmed at the effect of his movement that he
is trying to patch up peace with the Presi-
dent by prevailing upon Stanton to resign.
If Stanton does resign to save Grant, all we
have to say is, that we are mistaken in the
man.
