hundreds of public officer to the detriment of
the public service, and appointed others who,
in the internal revenue service, have caused
losses TO the Government of not less that $55,-
100000 year for two years The passage OF
the tenure bill has proved Intellectual as a COM
plete security, and now the President asserts
his right to violate it, and by his Interpretation
of the Constitution assumes absolute and I'M
qualified power over all officers in the country.
The removal of Mr.. Stanton is the particular
crime of the President, for which conviction
is demanded. By his conviction the Govern
ment will be purified and restored. By his
acQuittal the Government will be surrendered
into the hands of an usurping and unscrupu-
lous man, who will use all the vast power he
Claims for the corruption of every branch of
the public service and the final overthrow of
the public liberties. The excuse OF the Presi-
dent. that he acred under the advice of his
his Cabinet. was cited as not tenable, as he
had no right to such advice on anything out
side Of their special departments. The act of
1889, establishing department OF Foreign Al
fairs, which was put in by the defence, was
then considered and reference made to certain
correllative documents. The action OF the
Congress of 1889, in passing that Dill, devei-
oped the fact that that body was OF the opIn-
ion that the power OF removal WAS not III the
President absolutely, and during the session
of the Senate was vested in that body and the
President concurrently, and the debate then
held and the votes cast indicate that the power
OF the fTesldent to remove during the vaca-
ton OF tue oenate was, at best, doubtful
power under the Constitution.
The practice of the Government relative to
removals subsequent to the passage of the
above act was then reviewed. and speech
made by Mr. johnson in the Senate in 1861. in
which he claimed that the Administration was
powerless without the concurrent action of tbe
Senate, was quoted. But the act of 1888 is mo
security to the President. None of his prede-
cessors, from Washington to Lincoln, ever ven
tured to claim under that act the power
to remove a civil office during session of the
Senate and 10 appoint a successor. Hence it
is, he is held guilty of violation of the Con-
stitution and his oath of Office.
The act of Feb. 49, 1895, on which the presi-
dent relies tor justification for appointing
Gen. Thomas as Secretary of War dd interim
was then considered at length, and it was con
tended that if that statute was applicable to a
vacancy created by suspension or removal
then the President has violated it by that APP
pointment; but if that statute is not applca-
Bile to vacancy occasioned by removal, then
the appointment is without authority of law

OPERA HoUsE-There was a slight inn
provement in tue attendance at the Opera
House last night, and a decided improve
ment in the performances. The very pleas
ing drama, entitled Ben Bolt, was pro-
parts of "Ben Bolt =" and " Alice" by Mr..
o. n. Barr and Miss Ricckords. being admi-
rabIy represented "Conn," by Lester
Belts, and Reuben Rags" by Saphore,
were creditabie performances. Mr.. Coop
er as "Ivan Ironlink," was a great inn
provement on his recent performances.
Mr.. Cooper has talent If he would give
more attention to elocution and enuncia,
tlon. He should be more deliberate, and
give better heed TO articulation. This is
the great fault also with Mr.. Buck. Both
speak unnaturally and indistinctly. The
last act of Ben Bolt was eIega ntIy played,
aud won warm applause. ~
The afterpiece, g The Loan of Lover
was well done, and manifested decided
talent in each of the actors. Peter
Spyke and swizeH," by .Messrs. Sa-
phore and Belts, were the best imperson-
alities. Miss Dryer acts well, but has not
pleasant voice. Her elocution could be
improved. Miss Hattie Whitney displays
great versatility of talent, but apparent
~ plays too much TO the upper tiers.
The same bill is presented tonight, and
the performance will be worthy of a
liberal patronage-far better than any we
have had for the last year and half. On
Monday night " Zorastre," the great sensa-
ton of the age. will be produced.

WHIT. AT RocKPoRT-On Thurs
day night Mr.. A. T. WhittleseY, of
our city. made speech at Rockport
at the Court House. The gallery and
aisles were crowded with war worn
veterns of the Federal army, who all
wore blue capes, and of course in the
night time, with an imperfect light.
presented dark appearance. In the
course of his remarks, Mr.. Whittlesey
said: In the beginning of this meet
ng it was noticed that,the gallery and
back ground were crowded, and that a
dark cloud hung over them. During
the war, it was frequently telegraphed
all over this country, that the col
ored troops fought nobly,' but I
think they have retired to night with
out firing a single shot" Soldiers
will understand how to appreciate the
compliment? In the days of the war,
when certain men stood on peace
platforms, the names of WhittLeseg
and Nc Bride, to our people, were as
familiar as $ households words" call
ing to mind the past history of men
connected with the Democratic party,
the above quoted remarks are not at
all remarkable. The men who called
the soldiers during the war, Lin
coin hirelings," are not expected to
compliment them now.

ALarge Meeting--Powerful Speeches
--Great Enthusiasm and Happy
Conversions.

The Republican meeting at Ed
wardsport on Thursday, was an en-
couraging success in every particular.
The meeting was quite large, some
two thousand persons being present,
all evidently eager to listen and learn.
I The fact that Gov. D=nning had
lived for some time in Bruceville, a
short distance from Edwardsport, and
was well known during his public life
by many of the old citizens as
Democrat, a large number of that
class came out to hear him, and at
their especial request he gave the rea-
sons that induced him to leave that
party. These reasons were so cogent,
clear and convincing and delivered
with so much earnestness and force.
that some Of his old Democratic asso-
ciates and friends could not refrain
their emotions, but declared they
could no longer refuse to follow his
example and vote for Grant. and ex-
pressed the hope that Gov. Dunning
might live forever. Inspired by the
surroundings. Gov. Cummings. speech
is represented to have been one of ex-
traordinary ability, and well calcula-
ted to set the honest old farmers of
Knox, Daviess, and Green, all of
which were represented in the meet
ing, to thinking seriously on their
own relations and duties.
General Veatch followed, in one of
those plain, practical, commOn-sense
speeches, so full of reason and sound
logic as to be irresistible in their in
fuences, which has distinguished his
canvass. All candid men of both
parties.acknowledge his great superb
ority over his competitor as speaker
and a logician, and his speeches
always leave a good impression. He
was received with great enthusiasm at
Edwardsport, and both speeches were
listened to with the most profound
attention. a.
The Republicans of Knox County
are in fine spirits, and feel confident
of making a large reduction in the
Democratic majority. III
