Your obedient servant,
what President Grant say. -.out the
Repeal OF tho Teuure-of office Act
Representatives Julian, Of Indiana, and
Loan, of Missouri, had an interview few days
sgo with President Grant, tue result OF which
is thus given in Washington telegram
MIR. Julian, after usual courtesies. asked in
substance what General Grants policy would
IN lnDC0ln'6
rule was to refer all local applications Tor
places, such as postm sters, collectors, asses
sors. &C., to the representative OF the district,
End accept his jugment thereon. II it was not
incompatible with the Generals ideas OF pro-
pr,ety, he (Mr. Julian) would be glad to know
what rule would be adopted by the new admin
istratlon, as he Was IN the receipt OF many up
plications, and. If expected to give his views
would like to have time to examine fairly into
each case.
General Grant replied at once that, except in
few cases al over the country, wnere he
might desire to appoint personal or army
friend whose ability, &C., he had peis1nal
knowledge OF, the rule MIR. L;ucon followed
would be- his. Representatives were directly
respopslb to the people, and they were the
proper prisons to recommend.
Mir, Julian then remarked General, the
case is little diff rent now. In Mr. Linculu's
tlme we had no Tenure-of-ofi;e t; now we
shall nave 10 ueI9r 10 luo SouuVuIo LULU.
General Grant replied, speaking quite de-
lberately: "Wel |, gentlemen, on that matter
can My soy that If the law is no, repealed
consider myself bound enforce it. He had
told senators, in conversation on the subject.
he wls citiz n AMI bou d to obey tho laws,
which he should do. Ii the lawls not repealed
shall remove no man from Office except for
cause.' "fhen," remarked Mr. Jul all, "the
fact, General. that an oihcer-holder ls D2m-
ocrat, aud has been Johnson man, Will not III
itself be sufficient cause for removal Z" M, !"
was this emTh Thatio response. " Stall protect
office-ht lders who do Jholr duty, whatcV 'r may
/ @ their politics, If tho law remains, aga.ust
both Executive aud senatorial in;erferenc,.
have SAID this to senator's. and the justice OF
the view was ackaowlt deed"
There was great dcul of quiet humor in the
Geueral's nlauncr when he said that, aud he
eyid ntlv seemed ID I, el that he had made o
point which would worry tho an1 Gus poiitl-
clans into repeating the meddlesome law. A
good deal was ga d ~ regard to the law. and
General Grant expressed his regret ut differing
with some OF his best friends IN the Senafo-
mentioning particularly Seuator Howe, OF Wis
conein. He seemed also quite ouhdeuL that
the law would be repealed BY the forty-drst
Congress.
