The impression has gone abroad through
the land that the leading radicals of the two
houses of Congress have still some misgiy-
ings az to the orthodoxy of General Grant,
Notwithstanding his quarrel last February
with Andrew Johnson, and notwithstanding
his acceptance Of the Chicago platform, with
the Chicago nomination. But General Butler,
released from his bottle, has magnanimousy
stepped forward, and in testimony Of his
confidence in the President elect has intro
duced bill for the repeal Of the Tenure Of
Office law--that obnoxious measure passed
only to tie up the hands of President Johnson
and to protect certain republican Office holders
by making his removals or suspensions from
Office subject to the approval of the Senate.
Holding that with the retirement Of Johnson
on the 4th OF March the objects Of this law
will have been accomplished, and that every
thing like necessity for it will have ceased to
exist, Butler proposes to repeal il. His bill,
we believe, has been referred to the Judiciary
Committee but the committee seems to be in
no hurry to report upon it.
But what is there in this proposed repeal
requiring any delay? The case is very
plain one. If the two houses have any saving
degree of confidence in General Grant they
must surely see that this Tenure of Office law
is no longer wanted, and that its continuance is
equivalent to an expression Of want Of conf
dence in The man of their own choosing To be
sure his nomination was necessity to the
party in power; but il they are not cordially
with him in the beginning, where will they be in
the end On broader considerations of public
policy this Tenure of Office law should he
abolished, for its operation under johnson has
been the protection OF incompetent and dis
honest Office holders and rings Of robbers who
on the single article of whiskey have been
depicting the Treasury at the rate of hundred
millions year. Grant will doubtless do some
thing to put stop TO this business, even under
the Tenure of Office act, if the Senate will
only sustain him in the removal or suspension
of iaithless subordinates; but he will do
thousand times better with the restoration of
the Executive authority exercised by every
President from Washington down to johnson.
other incidental acts for the gripping Of John
son the President has become mere figure
head and a mere automaton in the hands of
Congress; for the radical oligarchy controlling
the two houses, under all these checks and
restraints upon the Executive Department
control it too. Mr.. Johnson in his late
Message has recommended the repeal of
all these spteful partisan laws against
the Executive; and rs this can hardly
be considered now a selfish recommen-
dalton, it is entitled to respectful con
sideration in reference to General Grant The
simple truth is that If Grant is to have the
Congressional confidence given to Lincoln, or
anything approaching it, he will be placed in
the position of Lincoln: for it is only from
Johnsonian distrust that he can be placed in
the position of Johnson.

The Alaska Lobby Fund-FIc Had IA Brother

The Alaska Lobby Fund-Hc Had u Brother:
The testimony elected in the Alaska Con-
gressional investigation has so far only
sharpened the appetite for little more infor-
nation as to the disposal OF the fund voted
by Congress for the purchase of that addition
to our territory. Mr.. Riggs, the banker, has
accounted satisfactorily enough for the portion
of the purchase money which has fallen to
him in his capacity as transfer agent Of the
funds. This is legitimate enough. Brokers
are entitled to their commission. Robert J.
Walker has made statement as to how he
came into possession Of twenty-six thousand
dollars of the money for popularizing the
Alaska purchase by the influence of his tongue
and pen, SO blunt and barefaced, and withal 40
interesting, that the public would like to
know little more about the whole trapsac
ton. For instance, there is the sum of three
thousand dollars offered to Forney of the two
newspapers-and both of them daily-for the
publication of Walkers pungent articles or
some other editorial services. Forney, being
too modest to accept the remuneration. very
modestly, and with fine salve to his con-
science, transferred it to his brother. What
a lucky thing it was for the editor of the two
daies that she had brother" otherwise the
Alaska windfall would have been lost. But
what paltry sum is three thousand dollars
for the value of Forney's two newspapers in
a great scheme like that of the Alaska pur-
chase! The Russian government and Gov
ernor Walker must esteem Forney's services
at a very low rate when they only tender this
small amount az his share Of the spoil. which
Forney only secured, IL seems, because he
had brother who is not above accepting
tribes.
There is good deal more of this history
about the Alaska purchase yet to come out,
and the public are naturally eager to have the
whole mystery unravelled. The disposal of a
good amount of the money has been accounted
for by Mr.. Riggs aud Governor Walker, but
there is yet another hundred thousand dollars,
the disposition of which we should like to
know something about
