Congress.
In the Senate yesterday Mr. Fenton introduced
bill 10 prohibit secret sales OF gold, which was
ferred to the Committee Finance. Mr.. Abbott re-
ported and asked immediate consideration OF bill
TO x the status ofudge advocates OF the army; but
Mr. Grimes objected, the ground that itlproposed
too large q number Of ofcers and the bill was inde-
fnitely postponed. Mr.. Sumner introduced
joint resolution to reduce ocean postage to
the rates OF postage on land. At the expiration OF
The morning hour the bill to repeal the Tenure OF
ONCE act came up as unfinished business, when Mr..
vickers made an argument in favor Of repeal. Mr.
Thayer also advocated repeal declaring that the act
son after he had abandoned his party. One reason
why he desired repeal was to enable President
Grant TO remove the Johnson men and copperheads
still in ofiice. Mr.. Drake In favor OF repeal but
would not vote for suspension, which, was but
another method OF putting the President upon pro-
baton. He wanted to leave the President
free TO turn out corrupt Officers and
others unfriendly to the republican party
Mr.. Morrill, denied that the act was intended
merely as check upon Mr.. johnson, bur he would
gladly 1t modified but neither suspended nor re-
pealed. He dissented from the views expressed by
republican Senators regard 10 government patron
age and denounced the doctrine OF ITO the victors
belong the sposr as source OF great national evil.
Mr. Cassery favored repeal, contending that under
the constitution the power Of removal vested in
the President alone and was necessary power In
order to secure faithful administration OF duties.
removal could be regulated by legislation was a
dangerous heresy, and its logical conclusion was
that Congress had the right to deprive the President
OF that power altogether. At halfpast four O'Clock
without taking any action on the bill the Senate
adjourned.
