Hart and all enquirers. Or Cook may neglect

MeanneSS.

In the history of politics in this country, fall
as it is of instances of groveling meanness, is
there case that will compare with that of
Z. NJ. Stanton! Suppose, when Lincoln was
first inaugerated President, and was about to
organize his cabinet, a Floyd or Thompson
had, under the protection of some such infam-
Gus law as the tenure of office act, refused to
vacate his office and to allow the Presl-
dent to choose as one of his confidential adj
visors a man toward whom he could at least
entertain feelings of ordinary respect. Would
the friends of the newly elected President have
been content with the simple utterance of a
howl of Indignation The country would have
applauded negro mob if they had kicked the
contumacous minister out ofthe war Office and
broken his neck in doing it.
Yet this is precisely the position of f. NJ
Stanton He was never appointed to Office by
President johnson, nor his choice, and was
allowed to retain the place purely as an act of
grace, or from a backwardness to perform an
ungraclous duty in removing him. When the
tenure Oh ONCE act was under CONSIDERATION
in the Senate objection was made to the bill
by Democrats that it might compel the Presi-
dent to retain in his cabinet men that might
be obnoxious to him. The radicals secuted
such an Interpretation of the law, Sherman
and others denouncing as ridiculous the idea
"that any man of honor would remain cabi-
net officer for an hour after the slightest sug-
gestion by the President that he desired to
effect change" Well may the Cincinnati
Gasette, an honest radical sheet, eXclaim in
view of the impeachment humbug, "What a
pity it is after all the provocations he has Civ

President is backed by so unsatisfactory a

but that soon after, he went to Virginia, as
he said, to settle up his affairs, and never
