What Party Does the Ratrenehing?

Our Democratic opponents are con-
stantly crying out fer retrenchment and
reform, but v hen it is proposed practically
to enter ca the performance of such work,
the Democracy are missing when their
votes are needed. 1t is conceded that
the affairs of the National administration
are conducted entirely under the inspi-
ration of Democratic influence. Every
Department bat that of War, is con-
trolled by the Democracy. The moment
the war ended, Congress began to cut
down public expenses, while Gea. Grant
lost 30 time in mastering out large bodies
of men. The last Congress so retrenched
as to be able to reduce taxation some
SI20, 100000. This fact is never al
lowed to see the light of day 10 any of
our Democratic contemporaries. An
other singular fact is that the present
Congress has reduced the estimates for
appropriations to carry on all the Depart
ments of the Government. The sum
asked by the State Department has been
materially reduced; the Secretary of the
Navy was compelled to reduce his osti-
mates $50, 900 the operations of the
Treasury Department have been so cur
tailed by Congress as TO save $4,000
600. These are facts, practical evidence
of the disposition of Republican Con-
gress to retrench, but to such facts the
Democracy never allude.-StGte Gadra.

Curious Suit.

Albert Cook some time ago Postmas-
ter in Illinois, gave up the situation, and
by order Of the Department sent all his
stamps back to Washington. He re-
ceived notice Of their arrival there, but
that the amount. was eight cents short.
Last week suit was instituted against
Cook and his sureties for the missing
amount, the knowledge of which having
reached Cook through the newspapers, he
confessed judgment, paid $l5 in costs
and nine cents to Uncle Sam, and the
matter was settled. 1t is doubtful if
there is in the annals of the Government
a stronger proof of vigilant and vigorous
collection Of revenue.

mans on the SuhJects' which lie CAIN
ed had bound the House to the same
conclusion as the Sena e.
The argument of Mr. Boutwell,.
that the practice had always been to
ssend in the name Of the app6intee
before making the removal, he met
by the, consideration that removals
are generally made, not because the
lncumbents are unfit. but because p0-
Iltlcal faYorites are to be put in. The
instances of removal of Cab net Oti
GERS are only two for the simple rea-
son that polite hint Is usually sufh-
cient to induce resignation. He then
referred to the instances of removals
of various officers during the session
Of the Senate, which have been put
IN the evidence, and went on to argue
the necessity for the existence of such
power 10 the last removal by some
suppOsitiOns of cases where a delay
would lead to disastrous conse-
quences; alluded to the confess
ions in Mr.. Buffers speech.
that if the President had properly
notified the Senate of his intention,
his action would not probably be a
ground for impeachment. He said
there was no punishment provided in
the law for attempts TO emOve; hence
there was no indietable or impeacha-
bic ofense committed by the attempt
to remove Stanton. He maintained
that no tenure-of- office could be given
by legislation for any longer time than
that for which the officer is appoint
ed; aud applying this doctrine to the
case of Stanton, he argued that he
was not appointed; but held his Office
by the sUfrance of the President, and
therefore could not. in any case, be
affected by the case 10 question. In
reference to the argument that If
stanton IS protected by this proviso,
he IS BY the body Of the section. He
said we must speak Of offices, not
men, and if this Office is covered By
this section, we are led to the alb
surdlty of admitting that its tenure
can be made perpetual, if successive
Senators adhere TO the same views:
but II the law IS susceptible of two
constructions, he had the Managers
authority for claiming that it
would be abhorrent to sense
of justice to convict the President.
he further argued that there was no
attemn to violate the right of Mr..
Stanton in his Office, but merely to
withdraw the tenure which he held
at the pleasure Of the President. He
briefly reviewed the evidence. He
ridiculed its insufieiency, as in
stanced in the testimony Of Kasner,
the solitary witness to prove the at
tempted c0up.de ttdt
.Evarts then reminded the Senators
that they must treat each article sep
arately, without any reference to the
character or force OF the others. He
closed with an elegant speech, invok-
ing the calm consideration and i'm
partial justice which would be un-
worthy of the successors of the great
men who first digni6ed the Senate
Chamber.

Debate in the House Of Commons on
ths Abolition of the Irish
Church.
A VOTE TAKEN ON FIRST RESOLVE.

LONDON, May Il The debate In
the House Of Commons, last night, on
6ladstone's resolves for the abolition
of the Irish Church, continued till a
late hour. Some prominent members
spoke. Lord Elcho opposed the Lords
resolves as untimely, and Gladstone
closed the debate on the Liberal side,
with a powerful speech against the
continuance Of the Irish Church.
He also defended himself from per-
sonal attacks made upon him for his
course, denying that he had any part
or lot in the projects Of either Ritual
lists or Roman Catholics. Disraeli
followed in a bitter speech, calling
the scheme one Of conGscation and
violence, to which the people Of Eng
land would never consent. A divis-
ion then took place on the first re-
solve, and it was adopted By 65 ma
jority.
Disraeli said the Ministers needed
time to consider the course they would
take. The House then adjourned to
Monday.
The press to day generally consider
the decision a decisive one.
Disraeli has gone to Osborne, to
consult wit the Queen.

THE INPEACHNENF COURT
Eyarts concludes His Argument.


NATE.....-........ w WAsHINGTOS, May1.
Evarts commenced with an apology
for having so long occupied the time
and attention of the Senate. saving
that he would claim their indulgence
but little while longer, and proceed
ed to consider the right of the Presi-
dent to fill vacancies under the acts
of 1892, 1895 and 1896. He admitted
that the act of 1868 limited the choice
for the appointmet of Secretaries 0d
interim in certain cases to heads of
other departments but he argued that
under the act of 1898, which allowed
him to choose for ali officers employed
In the Department, the President
had full warrant for the appointment
of Gen. Thomas, who was then Ad-
jutant General Referring to the ac-
tion of Mr.. Lincoln In appointing an
dd interim successor to Mr. Blair,
Postmaster General, he said the ap-
pointment was made under the author
ity only implied by the acts of 1892 aud
1875, which did not state the Post
Office Department at all. He asked
why that conduct was not considered
an impeachable offense? He then main
tanned it made no difference, either
in the theory or the practice of
Government. whether the temporary
appointments were made during a
session or recess Of the Senate, and
instanced the four examples of VIII
son, In 1874, Scott, In 1850 and Kelly
and Holt, In 1861, as ample warrant
for his assertion. Passing to the first
article, he said that he could consider
at the outset, the nature OF the posi-
tions occupied by the members of the
Cabinet. lie would nor again refer
to the opin Ons of Mr. Boutwell,, ex-
cept to say that he might name th ee
more Senators before him who would
share with others what he had men
toned upon such positions ay the
honorable Manager.i He then read
an address to Lincoln signed bv
thirty Senators, written in 1862, to
urge his removal OF Mr. Blair. so a.
to secure the harmonious action and
opinions therein expressed by fifteen
Senators now present, on the sub
iect of Cabinet relations, he (Evarts)
fully endorsed. He further quoted
from sDeeches of Mr.. Sherman and
others, in the debate on the passage
of the Tenure-Ot-Oth Bill, and IN
explanation of the report of the Com
mittee Of Conference on various ex-
pressions and arguments which IN

tions, he claimed were accepted as
