The bill TO repeal the Tenure of.ofics
act was reported In the Senate on Wednes
day, from the Committee on the Judiciary
with az amendment in the nature of cub
stitute. The amendment 10 designed to
relieve the Presidcn, from the obligation to
give reasons for suspensions from Office
thus removing such objections as have been
taken to the Tenure 'ofofflce act on practical
grounds. II also relieves the Senate from
the impossible duty of considering such
reasons. The Senate retains power under
il to reinstate officers " no have been remoy'
cd BY non'copcuring in snch removals. These
arc some of the leading points Of the repor,
that was accepted by the Scaate 1t ia
stated to be entirely satisfactory to Presi
dent Grant, who said that he did not ask a
complete repeal, and who chiefly desires TO
reform the public service by removing unfit
men. The fate Of the measure In the House
10 problematical There was an almost un.
animous vote there in favor of repeal But
1t is plain that with so few days remaining
for the session, repeal cannot be accomplish
ed. The House is likely to agree to the
Senate bill with the amendment. aud leave
the question Of repeal to another session.

in excess of 500, ,000, 900. The remaining
three and half months will cover the great

augment the receipts to si5O, ,OOo, 900, and
