One Result of Impeachment.


From the New York Times, Repubican-I
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 ofice-holders throughout the country
upon the advent OF Senator W ade to the Presl-
dency, seems to be conceded and as there is also
general concurrence OF opinion that the pubic
welfare demands such reform, the Republican
majority In the Senate will find little difficulty
in giving such changes their assent
But IN filling these Offices by new appoint
nlents 1t is equally certain that Mr. Wade will
make his selections exclusively from the ''Radi
Cal wing OF the party. General Grant when he
comes into Office, will thus find all the places
under HIM filled IN advance; and as the "Radi-
Gals have the majority In the Republican party
III the Senate, as to render changes IN this re-
spect quite out OF the question, his patronage and
power Will be reduced to the mn. mum. lie Will
not be abe to make even "a single change when
he becomes President, except at the pleasure
OF that wing OF the Republican party which ac-
copied hun as the candidate only at the last mo-
nent, and when they found his nomination to be
inevitable. So lar controlling the patronage
Of the Government is concerned one year OF office
| for Mir Wade will be quite as potential as four.
| 1t can all be disposed Of within that time and
put OeSOuu GHc IcdCu VI IIAcCutlse luCCliCtCuSo'
Ii the selections tor Office are fit and judiclous,
this result may prove advantageous. We are so
thoroughly onvnced OF the absolute necessity OF
some leIorm in our system OF appointments to
office, which shall give 1t greater stability and
make it more independent OF party changes that
we shall welcome almost anything which pronl-
ses those results. But we do not think that this
precise turn OF affairs was toeseen by all those
III the Senate and House who gave the bill their
support
it Is urged with a great deal of emphasis in
certain quarters that the removal OF the President
is absolutely essential to the success OF the he
publican party in the coming election Possibly
1t may be-though We do not see precisely how
But we do See very clearly that 1t will deprive
General Grant when elected, OF all power to reg
ulate the distribution OF the patronage OF thu
Executive department, and will vest the power
substantially to control 1T tor five years, III thu
officer who may be actWg President during tn
year that remains of Mr. johnson term.

From the Greensboro Patriot.
Marriages of Negroes and Whites.

The Clerk OF the lounty Court informs us,
that some time last Fall application was made by
a colored man for license to marry white
woman. The man Was told that such proceeding
would be contrary to the law Of the State; where
upon he went to the Superintendent OF the
Freedmen's Bureau, who called upon the lerk,
and was told that such license could not be
granted without military order to that ef1cct.
The Superintendent here then wrote to the State
Superintendent at Raleigh, stating the case, and
that there we're three such cases before him, and
asking that special order might be granted
in a specified case (where the woman already
had children by the man, if a general order
could not be given for all He wrote second
time before receiving an answer, which had been
DELAYED on account of waiting return from
Headquarters at Charleston. The following was
finally received as Gen. Canby's response:

Sir:-Referring to communication OF Capt. Hide
brandt representing that cases arise where freedmen

issue licenses forwarded by you on the 23d ult' Is

eral to state in reply,-that the laws OF the on1ed
States invest all classes Of citizens with equal rights
and that whenever these rights are Denied the same

to obev the laws of the United States in such cases

The Clerk. still reluctant to perform so dis
| agreeable duty, requested copy OF General
| Canbys letter and little time to consult his
legal friends. Capt Hildebrandt politely coin
piled. and furnished him copy Of the CORES
pondence.
At the request of the Clerk, six gentlemen OF
the legal profession in Greensboro met and con-
sidered the case 1t is unnecessary to state what
was said about the constitutionality or unconstl.

law is paramount until it shall be repealed OF
