he confidently expected the repeal
to be accomplished by the last Com
gress, but as it was not done he is
sure the present Congress will
"untie his hands" A few days
ago a Senator who is opposed to the
repeal of the law, called upon Grant
for the purpose, it is said, of recon-
mending the appointment of sew
eral of his friends, when his attens
ton was called by Grant to the law
as follows:
"But, Sir, is not the restriction OPP
posed to our theory of government
The Judges hold Office for life, but the
President and members of Congress are
subject to constant change. Now it is
proposed to invest all subordinate officers

tainly great stride toward revolution

another to make these Offices hereditary.
The Washington star says the
Senator made no effort to combat
the Generals position, but quietly
retired without pressing the
"claims" of his friends. The Star
adds that it is understood Grant
contemplates placing a similar

GRANT ON APPOINTMENFS AND
THE TENURE-OF.OFFICE

The Radical Congressman are
somewhat anxious to ascertain the
policy Gen. Grant will pursue in
making appointments to Office in
the different States, and Mr.. Julian,
of Indiana, and Mr.. Loan, of Mis-
souri,, appear to have constituted
themselves q committee to pump
Grant on this important point in
the policy of his administration.
Mr.. Lincoln's rule was to refer all
applicants for local appointments,
such as postmasters, collectors, as
SCISSORS, etc, to the Representative
in Congress of the district, and &C
cept his Judgment thereon. Mr..
Julian desired TO know what rule
Grant would adopt in regard to
such appointments, stating that he
was in receipt of many applications
from his constituents, and if ex-
pected to give his views, would
like to have time to examine fairly
into each case. The Washington
correspondent of the Syracuse
Journal, who reports this inter-
view, says
Gen Grant replied at once that, cx-
eept in few cases all over the country,
where he might desire to appoint per-
sonaI or army friend, whose ability, etc,
he had personal knowledge of, the rule
Mr.. Lincoln followed would be his. Reps
resentatives were directly responsible
to the people, and they were the proper
persons to recommend
mir Julian then remarked General
the case is a little different now. In Mr..
Lincoln's time we had no tenuresof4
Office act, now we shall have to defer TO
the Senators more
'ien. Grant replied speaking quite
deliberately. We'll, gentlemen, on
that matter l can only say that if the law
is not repealed | consider myself bound
to enforce it. He had ted Senators in
conversation upon the subject, he was
CT izen and bound to obey the laws,
which he should do. lr the law is not
repealed shall remove 70 man from Of
flee except for cause. Then, remarked
Mr.. Julian, the fact General, that an Of
fce-holder is,a Democrat and has been
a johnson man, will not in itself be a
sufficient cause for removaiT No, was
the emphatic response. Il shall protect
Of6ce,holders who do their duty, whateV-
er may be their politics, if the law re-
mains, against both Executive and Sena-
terial interference. | have said this 10
Senators, and the justice of the view Was
acknowledged
So far Gen. Grant has failed to
gel the tenure-of- office law repealed.

JUDGES OF THE sUPREME COURF

JUDGES OF THE SUPREME COURT.
There is trouble in the Radical
camp. The leaders of that very
small fraction of the white men Of
Tennessee have been suddenly
seized with a fear that gentlemen
of legal ability and liberal views
viii be elected Judges of the Sn-
preme Court, a fear that causes
them to smite their knees together
IN real Belshazzarean fashion. The
chairman of the Radical State Gen.
trail Committee, seized with panic
at what he conceived to be in pros
peet, has hied off to Knoxville, the
fountain of inspiration, "to consult
with leading members of the party
in reference to the approaching
judicial election" The "leading
members of the party" there re-
commend a pow-wow, and the
chairman calls a meeting of the
committee at Nashville on Thurs
day, the 25th inst, and hopes "no
member will fail to be present, as
business of the utmost i'm
portance will be suggested for
consideration. The Press and
Times takes up the refrain and
declares that "the action of the
Democratic managers has rendered
the nomination of a Republican ju-
dicial ticket necessary" What the
Democratic managers" have been
doing will be a mystery to every
body except the astute scribbler for
the Press and Times, and others
like him who are so sharp sighted
that they "can see what is not to
be seen" The Democratic man
ayers" have had absolutely nothing
TO do with bringing out candidates
for Supreme Judges. Gentlemen
who perhaps voted the Democratic
ticket have joined Radicals in sole
iting certain parties, present Judges
among the number, to declare
themselves candidates. THERE'S
no such thing as q Democratic
movement to bring out candi lates
for these Offices. Whatever Demo
Gratis have joined in soliciting gen
tlemen to become candidates have
not done so as members of the
Democratic party, but as citizens.
Thew had perfect right to do this,
and the attempt to pervert their ac
ton shows the desperate straits
to which the Radicals are driven.
Every good citizen in the
State - Interested having men
Of high legal attainments and of
unimpeachable honor, elected
Judges of the Supreme Court. 1t
is no place for a man who cannot
lay aside his political bias or who
would permit himself to be swerved
a hairs breadth from the straight
line of the constitution and the
laws made in pursuance thereof. 1t
is just such men as this that the
Radicals fear; as is clearly indica-
ted by the Press and Times, when
it declares that eff they the Dem
ocrats] gain the court, the State
will drop like ripe apple into
their hands" This is a shameless
confession, for it is simply admit
ting that the legislation of the last
four years has been for the sole
benefit of political party and not
the people, and that these laws
would not stand the test of the
constitution when applied by an
honest, impartial judiciary.
