TIE Radical members Of the lower House
of Congress appear TO see the necessity Of re-
pealing some Of their former acts. Among the
first things done was the passage Of a law TO
repeal the Tenure of Office Act The law
was PASSED for the specific purpose of depriy-
ing Presiden, johnson of bis prerosatiye of
removing appointees. Fer attempting to re-
move Cabinet officer lie was impeached by
the House and tried BY the U. S. Senate
when he barely escaped being convicted and
ousted from the Presidential chair. When
General Grent came 10 the head Of the gov
erhment he found this Law TO be great bar
rier against the freedoms Of making appoint
ments, but Congress did not see proper to
take any measure towards its repeal notwiih-
standing it bad been very generally condemn
ed BY the press and the people. The Radi-
cal Congress has always shown desire 10
not only exercise Legislative functions but
far they dared 90 have usGrped those of an
Executive and Judicial nature. For series
of years they were in large majority and
until the people were forced to show signs of
dissatisfaction. The imposition of onerous
taxation was submitted to, during what was
deemed necessity and for a long time after
the close of the war. 1t was expected that
when peaceful relations we're established that
taxation would be reduced to suit the changes
wrought by time. No attention waspaid to an
almost universal demand for modification Of
the Revenue Laws. The fall elections through.
out the country have admonished tho Radicals
that if they fail to do something in the inter-
est Of the people and according to their
wants and wishes, that power is destined
70 pass away from them. Now that they
have been driven to it we see that a reso-
luton abolishing the Intornal Revenue svs
tenn except as to whisky and tobacco has been
almost unanimously adopted by the House.
We are glad to see these signs that indicate
healthier legislation, the repeal Of the Tenure
of Office Act and thorough revision of the In
ternal Revenue system is what is demanded
throughout the country. The late elections
are the cause for this surrender of power over
the appointments of the President and for
any other Just measures that may be enacted
for the good of the whole people. Radicals
will hardly be able to make capital out of
these repentant acts, they come too late.
While they believed there was no end Tor the
existence of their combinations they did what
they pleased, apparently not caring for the
people if it was for the interest Of their party.
We would like to see them continue and
abolish all the obroxious legislation they have
have been guided by error and are willing to
make amends.
