The Tenure-of-Onice Bill.

HarPer's Weekly, opposes the repeal Of
the tenure-of-off bill, closing its article with
the following just remarks
1.-The Civil Tenure bill was passed because
the conduct of President Johnson had re-
vealed how great a peril lurked in Il custom
which was becoming traditional. Is it wise
to remove a defence against a plain peril in
the Executive office because the next incum-
bent of that Office is universally trusted ?
General Grant may possibly be President as
long as he lives, and as long as he lives no.
body has any reason to suppose that he
would be less worthy of confidence than now
But the regulation of the executive power is
not a question of men, however beloved and
trusted it is a question of the national wei
fare
And the Weekly might have added, a ques-
tion also of constitutional power. The
language of the constitution is : He (the
Presidency shall nominate, and by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate shall
appoint" &c. Why abrogass the constitu-
ton because Gen. Grant is a good man ?
And why, if the constitution may be disre-
garded in one particular, because Gen. Grant
is our President, may we not disregard it in
the particular which limits his term of Office
to four years? If one limitation may be
overthrOwn because he will not abuse the
power, why stick at. another limitation
We are glad to notice that the Senate is
not likely to make haste in repeating the
law. Senator Wilson has introduced a bill
modifying the present law so far as it APP
plies to Cabinet Offices, and this together
with the House bill has been referred 10 the
committee on rctrcnchment, of which Mr..
EdmundsI is chairman and it is at least
probable that the committee will report adj
yersely to both bills. Unless the Senate be-
Iieve that Cabinet Ministers are g inferior
Offices" in the language of the constitu-
ton, we see no valid reason why they should
be excepted while the constitution remains
as it is.
1t is thought, and perhaps rot u%niustly
that the House voted to repeal the bill he
cause the members had various axes of their
own to grind. Now if a member OF Con
gress has a friend whom he wishes to give
some good place asa reward for political GER
vice, he must not only get him nominated by
the President, but confirmed by the Senate.

the Senate were kept out of the ring" and
very likely the members would like to have
the process still further simplifed by allow
ing the Representatives to appoint directly,
and without the trouble of consulting the
President, or the heads of departments.
On the whole. however, we prefer the con-
stitutional method. 1t is infinitely better.
as we'll as safer and more guarded and We
should no more think of urging, as a reason
for repeating the law, that Gen. Grant is not
likely to abuse the great power thus left in
his hands, than we should think of urging a
similar belief as n reason for making Gen.
Grant kirg and abolishing Congress alto
gcthcr. The constitutional powers of the
executive are the same, whether an angel
from heaven or a devil from the pit occupy
the office. No argument so dangerous to
the liberties Of the people, as that it is safe
to clothe any man with unconstitutional
power because he will not abuse the power,
ought to find favor or even c%ountenancc with
the Republican party, which is the peculiar
champion of the peoples rights.

Finance.

The Finance Committee of the United
States Senate, through Mr.. Sherman, re-
ported Monday a bill legalizing coin con-
tracts, and appropriating one hundred and
forty millions annually out of the custom
receipts to be applied to the payment of the
interest and reduction of the principal Of the
public debt, in lieu of the sinking fund here
toforc authorized. \ provision is made for
exchange of legal tender notes for five per
cent. tcn-forty gold bonds. Gold notes are to
be issued to the amount Of coin in the Treas
ury for the purchase Of six per cent. securi-
ties in the city of New York, but the amount
of such notes to only equal the amount OF
legal tenders surrendered for bonds. The last
section authorizes banks to issue demand
notes, payable in coin, to the extent Or sixty
five per cent. Of bonds deposited by them,
regardless of the present Limitation of three
hundred millions.
1t is a sign Of some progress that the FL
nance Committee have been able to agree
upon any bill. vt first sight, howe yer, this
bill scenes liable to the objection that it
withdraws legal tenders, without replacing
them with anything which will be used as
currency. Legalizing gold contracts is well
enough, yet it will not max coin money
while its value differs from that Of green
backs nor will the demand notes which the
banks are authorized to issue, pass into gen
eral circulation, while their value is above
as it must be for some time-that Of the
notes redeemable in greenbacks. The true
way to get rid Of legal tender notes, We can
but believe, Is to authorize the sale Of a bond,
at four or five per cent. interest, payable
principal and interest in coin, to run forty
years OF more, and make such a bond the
basis Of more national banks. This would
make a ready market for the bonds, and
enable the government with their proceeds
to withdraw greenbacks and with green
backs out Of the way, the currency Of the
country would be redeemable only in coin,
and the country would have got back to
specie payments without any dangerous
contraction Of the currency.
