The Tenure Of Onlce.

The close of the controversy upon the Tenure
oi-othce bill, is matter Of sincere congratula-
ton to Republicans throughout the country, and
although there were many provisions about the
law which we think ought to have been retained,
the opinion is general, that the basis or settle
ment is virtually but another name for the repeal
Of the act.
The Washington Chronicle of the first instant.
has the following on the subject --
" Although We have advocated the total repeal
OF the law, we do not see that there is ANYTHING
in the bill reported by the conference committee
aud passed by both houses to which even the most
strenuous supporters of repeal can object. The
power OF suspension conferred by this bill is yir-
tually power Of removal, for it enables the
President to dispace officials whose services he
desires to discontinue, and contains no provision
Tor thelr restoration by the Senate. In other
words, it enables him to dispose of such officers
finally. This is in fact a much better result than
was hoped for from the committee. for it is yery
