TENURE OF OFFICE LAVA bill fol
the repeal Of the Tenure Of Office law, has
passed one branch of Congress, and will
probably. pass the other, though not i'm,
mediately This law was passed for the
purpose restraining Presl ent johnson
in his indiscriminate warfare upon union
office Understanding them out and plae-
inc rebels, or rebel sympathisers
in their places. In ordinary cases no such
Jay would have been necessary !; but the
emergency was an extraordinary one, and
it may be many a year, before another
such reckless individual will fill the chief
executive chair of the Republic. The law
as it now stands is not an unreasonable
one, but with President like Gen. Grant
in whom the people have confidence, il
might as well be repealed. Under the
present law the President can remove
any appointee for good cause, if the Sen
ate adjudges tho reasons good.

The Governors Message

The message of Governor Fairchild
presents an encouraging exhibit of oul
state affairs. It straight forward bust
ness like document, like every thing ema
mating from our present State Chief Maj
istrate. The people of Wisconsin, have
never been blessed with Governor, more
reliable and devoted to the interests oil
the state, than the present. The message
says, aevery proper demand against the
state has been promptly paid on presenta-
ton" This is as it should be.
We trust the Legislature will heed the
recommendation Of the message, to abstain
as far as possible from local legislation'
and make the session a short one.
The message contains some recommends
atlons of change in cur school laws. 1t is
suggested thata portion of the school fund
should be appropriated on the basis OF the
number of scholars, actually attending
school, instead Of the whole number resld-
mo in the district. This it is believed,
would secure the attendance OF larger
numbers in the schools, than is now secur-
ed. The suggestion is one entitled to
consideration, although we are not prepar-
ed to say, whether its good results would
be all that is claimed for it. It is also
proposed to change the district to the
township system of school government
that is to say, each town to constitute on
ly one school district. The system, II we
mistake not, prevails in Massachusetts,,
and perhaps some other New England
states; it is doubtless suited to the older
states, where the population Isles change
full. Whether it is adapted so Wisconsin,
may be question; nevertheless the
friends of education in the Legislature,
we trust will give the subject a careful
consideration.
The Governor very properly advises
against any change III our assessment laws
unless upon urgent necessity. The ire
quent change of our laws, in respect to the
assessment and collection of taxes, have
been the source of much embarrassment.
The various other recommendations in the
message are appropriate, and entitled to
the attention Of the Legislature,

United States Senator.

MATT. III. CARPENTER was nominated
by the Republican caucus for United
States Senator, on Tuesday evening last
on the sixth ballot. In this result, We
doubt not there will be general acquies
cence among Republicans throughout the
State. There have been honest differences
of opinion; it was eminently proper that
these should be tolerated, but now since the
decision has been made, whatever feeling
of rivalry between the friends of the
several candidates, may have been excited
will pass away. The distinguished abili-
ty of Matt. Fl. Carpenter, is everywhere
acknowledged, as is also the eminent SER
vices, he rendered the Republican party

SOME Of the Democratic journals in the
state, affect to see that the Republican
party, will become hopelessly divided, in
consequence Of the differences on the
Senatorial contest. The Democracy need
not delude themselves with the expects
ton Of any such result. 1t is true the race
for the Senatorship has enlisted strong
rivalry between the friends Of the candi-
dates, buf there are no indications to just
ify the belief that any serious divisions
will follow. In few weeks the excite
ment will be forgotten, and nothing will
grow out Of this senatorial contest to dis
turb the harmony Of the Republican party.
That there should be differences ofopinion
on questions Of such public Importance, is
not at all singular, the people have the
conceded right, to express their prefer
cnces, and labor earnestly for their accom-
plishm4t The enemies of the Republi-
can party, need not count upon any serious
distraction or divisions, in this particular

Destitution in Large Cities.

AS usual at this season Of the year, there
is report of much restitution in many o
our large eastern cities. Thousand
are reduced to want and dependant upor
charitable aid for food and the necessaries
of life. A vast proportion OF this suffer-
ing, grows out ola want of employment
The laborlng classes cannot ind work ;
especially at this season of the year. ana
the consequence is much suffering.
Such pressures of extreme poverty are
avoidable. There are now, and alwayo
have been thousands upon thousands IN
cities, who prefer to remain where they
are depending upon precarious employ
ment, and running the risk OF starvation,
rather than seek homes on the inviting
lands of the west. Many man works
hard as a day laborer life time, and
comes to old age in poverty and want;
while the amount Of labor would have Sc
cured to him a home in the west, surround
ed with the comforts of life. There are
millions of acres of rich land in the Ter
ritories, which can be had at ten Shillings
ger acre, or even on better terms than
that Industry in agricultural pursuits
is sure to meet its reward; with economy.
and temperance, competence IS OF GER
tain attainment, on even few acres Of
land. That admirable book "ten acres
enough" should be more widely read and
appreciated by the landless. And who is
there that cannot secure to himself ten
acres, in some desirable region yet unoc-
cupied? The number is comparatively
few; the greatest obstacle, is the deter
mination and the will.
And then again what vast results to the
country would be achieved, if only one
half of the able bodied men, now'sulfering
for want of employment in cities, were To-
Gated on small farms How muchit would
aid in the development OF the agricultural
resources of the nation, and as legitimate
consequence add to the national wealth,
There are doubtless working men enough
of the class here spoken of, who are not
needed in the cities, to people a new west
ern territory with a population sufficient
to entitle it to admission into the Union
as State The tendency of.population
to cities during the past few years, has
been one Of the unfavorable aspects Of the
times Crowded cities, tend to demorali-
cation Of the people, such is the history
the world over New York itself, furn-
ishes a lamentable illustration of city
incapable of selfgovernment, and depend
ent upon the guardianship of the State.
The moral power of the nation resides in
the rural districts, where the cmployments
are chiefly agricultural, and where stock
gambling grog shops and brothel houses,
do not commonly abound. fit were pos
sible to empty the cities Of their surplus
laboring population, and send them to the
country, where work would be steady and
remunerative, vastly better for the thous-
ands of now suffering poor, and infinitely
better for the strength and perpetuity of
che whole nation would it be.
