III Tie movement for the repeal oi
1.-THE Tenure. of. Office law is creating q
Vast amount OF controversy In the
II fenate. and the probabilities are that
it will not carry. Tt may be we'll to
repeal law now that was found nee
Il essarS to lie passed under the admin
istraiion of Andrew johnson, but II
Seeing TASTY. IF seymour had been
i elected President the law would have
L staoi without an etlnrt to repeal 1t,
II Ii Is true tiat She same reason does
TO. now exist why this law should
stand ne cheek against an abuse OF
/ l,owcr by tile President, bat il GER
tainiy is not sufficient grounds for its
4 repeal. The law is wise one and
las been 50 pronounced by the best
statesmen Of Our country. .a ~"."
Den Piatt, the Washington CORES
pnndont Of the Cincinnati CONNER
cidt, refers in The following manner
TO the anonymous charges against
Mr. Wilson of our State: .......
4 good deal OF feeling was mani.
tested in the House 70 day over q per-
f6uai explanation offered 10y Mr..
Wilson, Of Iowa, on an anOuvm Gus
charge made i'm tho Cincinnati Ca
2e;'e, af the l9th, and endorsed 10y al
editorial NJ the same issue, against
Messrs. Hubbard, Wilson and ALI
son. The communication that ap-
pears anon ymousiv, which am as
rurret by reliable authority, comes
from man totally bankrupt in
character, would have passed with
out notice hut for the editorial In
Garsehent that accompanied it. ~.
No three men could have been
selected in tile House f6r such an
assault who carry with them more OF
the confidence and sympathy Of their
brother members than Messrs. Will
son, Hubbard and Allison. They
have been distinguished for their
hiph-toncd integrity, and The single.
ness Of purpose, with which they
)mve performed their legislative
duties And The editor Of the Ga
1eftc should have paused 10 reflect
TINT while the parties making these
charges have been possessed of what
they e!aira,to lie facts, for tour years,
they are brought forward only ut the
close Of the session, with nine days
left. in which il Is utterly impossible
10 have an investigation. s'..
