the powers of his Office, when it is so
certain TO be wholesome help in his
work of reformation? The proposed
suspension would give him eight
months OF funrestrained power. Every
official head in the United States could
be taken off in that time if need be.
After that the law could give him no
embarrassment, for he would find a
Senate ready to cooperate at all times
in all proper changes. So far as the
attempt is made to drive this repeal
through the Senate, simply because
Grant is President and desires it, 1t is
to be hoped no vote will be cast for 1t
under that kind of an influence. Laws
ought neither to be made nor un-
made upon individual requirement;
and it will be sad evidence that the
"one man power" in this government
is vastly too great, whenever the legis.
lative branch shall be driven against
their judgment to abrogate a wholesome
and necessary law for no reason but
that the pride or pleasure of the Prcsi-

LAED-HUNGRI.


When 81 man is rich, and has little to
do, and is planning Improvements In
his estate, and building palace in the
country; and cutting out "views," 1t ls
very apt to happen that he finds him
self in need, suddenly, OF little more
land; and over on the southeast, or to
the southwest, he sees, with pang of
envy, the vineyard OF his neighbor
NabOth, which Is absolutely necessary
to complete his plans.
Those of US who have read the Scrip
lures, or moro recent histories even,
know what then happens. Naboth ls
imporluned to sell; but respectfully de-
clines, for some such absurd reason AS
that he likes the place, or that II he sold
it he would have nowhere else to go; or
that he is fond of grapes; or that his
children are IN good health there. But
to a great proprietor such excuses are
paltry and nOnsensical; and II Naboth
is wise man he will not wait TO be
stoned, but will put big>price on his
vineyard, pocket the cAsh, and, like
DoSberry, thank God he is rid of
rogue.
Here is Congress now, in II tlutter
about Cuba and Mexico and St. Domln-
go; both Houses bursting with sup
pressed desire for these little vineyards,
and for some decent excuse to begin to
fling stones at their owners. The Pre-
sident, too, waits, in decorous and char
acteristic silence, but plainly with no
more patience than he needs under the
circumstances. The whole country is
in what old women call n ''lluster;"
and maps of Cuba are selling every
where, aud St. Domingo gold mines are
discussed, with viGOr which tells
clearly that this universal Yankee ma
ton ls rs lhnd-hungry As over.
There is, however, such n thing as
owning too much land; thero il such
thing rs being land poor, IA many
owners of western lands know. Let
us be patient. We have now as much
as we can take care of; more, in fact;
our neighb0r Naboth is an intlrm crea-
ture, who must presently die natural
death; and we are his heirs, and do not
really need to fling stones 10 hasten the
poor mans end. Let us be patient,
and not present to the world nn inde-
curOus spectacle OF greed.

Senator BOreman.

From the Register Of Saturday.
The Intelliacncc1- thin6s that because
Senator Boremau voted recently with
the Democrats on financial question
and was congratulated therefor by
Senator Thurman, the Register ought
to modify its structures upon the West
Virginia Senator. Our censure OF Bore
man has been confined to his course as
Governor, and we don't see how his
votes as Senator can atone for his acts
in the capacity of State Executive.
For this reason we have nothing to re-
tract. At the same time, we are ready
to confess that the vote OF Senator
Boreman on the amendment of Judge
Thurman, recognizing the 5.2Os to be
payable in legaltenders, was eminent
iy proper from a Democratic standpoint.
we will state further, that Boreman
has been reckoned by good Democratic
authority in Washington, as reasona-
hlv sound on the greenback question.
This much we are ready to say in COM
mon fairness, 1t is but just, however,
that we accompany this with the expla-
nation which has been given US OF
Boreman's financial votes, viz: he has
made all he can out of the Republican
party; he knows that the Democrats are
morally certain of controlling this state
before six years. If he Is re elected II
must be by Democratic votes. AS he
cares nothing for principle and Will sell
any party for place, the suspicion tnai
he is ready to make fair weather WITH
| the powers that are to be in West Flr'
RInia Is by no means outrageous.
