Commissioner Rollins Csse-Opinion .
Mr.. Eyarts.


Mr.. Evarts.
The opinion of Attorney General Evarts on
the resignation Of Commissioner Rollins, which
was published in the HERALD yesterday, is
terse, clear and sound. It shows that accord
ing to the Tenure of Once act the pretended
resignation of Mr. Rollins was in fact no
resignation at all, and that the endorsement
upon the letter Of Mr.. Rollins made by the
President accepting the resignation does not
make the Office vacant, and gives no power to
the President over the Office till the Senate
choose to confirm successor to Mr.. Rollins.
In other words, the Commissioner holds on in
spite Of the President till successor be APP
pointed and confirmed. This is simply the law
Of the case, and all that Mr.. Evarts, as he
says, was called upon to decide; but, ~ he
adds, this decision Is given without any dis
cussion of the larger topics touching the con-
formity or repugnance Of this legislation with
the constitution There is, then, a question
as to the consttuiionality of the act. But how
can il be reached? The President tried to
bring this very question before the Supreme
Court-the only tribunal that could decide it
in the case of stanton. but found himself pow
erless to do 40 and was impeachcd for the
attempt
Thus we see 10 what disorganized state
the government has been brought BY the revo-
lutionarv proceedings Of radical Congress.
Mr.. Evarts justly remarks that ''the purpose
of the Tenure OF Office bill was TO change the
Anof nd
which removal from Office at the mere discre-
ton Of the President had been established as
proper and, as was thought, necessary at
tendant OF the executive duty and RESPONSE
bility under the consideration to maintain the
efficiency and fidelity of the public service in
fulfilling the manifold and incessant obligations
Of administration and in execution of the laws
The fact is the purpose was 10 destroy the con-
stitutional and well established mower of the
Executive for mere temporary party objects.
Worse even than that, for the radicals were
actuated as much by personal snimosty and
spite to the President, as from desire to usurp
the executive authority. They did not hest
tate to make great revolution in the govern
ment and disorganize and demoralize Il from
the meanest motive and most contemplate
feelings. The Tenure of Once bill was trap
TO catch the President, and Mr.. Rollins, after
Impeachment failed in the case Of Stanton, sp-
pears to have acted as the stool pigeon Of the
radicals to get up another case Of impesch-
ment, or TO embarrass the President and bring
odium upon his administration. Such Is the
disgrsceful spectacle presented of great party
in Congress and the high officials Of the gov
eminent combining 10 break down the Execu-
tive. 70 demorsliss The sdministrStioa cad

SERviA.-Prince Karsgeorgewich, a direct
descendant of the black George who in the
early part Of this century gave Servia liberty
has been arrested in Hungary on suspicion of
his being concerned in the conspiracy which
resulted in the assassination Of the late Prince
Michel, of Serva. Successive kilograms have
informed us that his Servian estates have been
con6scsted, and that the presumption is that
he will be condemned by the legal tribunal
before which he is to be tried forthwith. The
only lesson to he drawn from these continuous
kilograms is that the whole of that portion of
Europe requires to be brought under new
system of government. The Danubian pro-
vinces have ceased to be governed by the Sui
tan, but they have not yet begun to be governed
by themselves. The best means of putting an
end to the unhappy state Of things which exists
in those regions is TO annex them at once TO
Austria. Roumania, Bulgaria, Servia will not
ind peace till then.

Harvest PrOsperts.

The telegraphic reports from all parts OF the
United States. printed in the HERALD of YES
terday, regarding the condition of the crops
are full of encouragement. AS compared with
last year the fruit crops are, on the whole, in
ferior. In some districts, however, the fruit
crop is at once large and excellent With
very few exceptions the cereals are abundant
Since 1864 we have had no such crop of
wheat. The presumption now is that it will
be one Of the largest ever produced in this
country. The yield Of oats promises to be
good but not quite up to the standard Of
last year. Cotton, sugar and tobacco have
not been so extensively grown as in years
goneb hut, considering the surface covered.
the yield is encouraging. The hay crop of
this year is almost without parallel in former
times. Considering the extreme drought
which has prevailed all over Europe, almost
everywhere diminishing quantity, and bearing
in mind that the supplies from the Black Sea
will be less than they have been for years
past, the presumption is that our exports this
coming season will be unprecedently large.
Nature is lavish of her favors. In spite of the
blunders and selfshness of the politicians we
have before us bright and prosperous times.
