The Tenure of office act does not,
as seems generally to be supposed,
restore to Office an officer removed by
She President when the Senate is
not in 3ssion if the Senate refuses to
confirm the nomination of his pro-
posed successor. The wording Of the
act is as follows !:
1.-The President shall, within Thirty
days after the commencement of
each session of the Senate, except
for any Office which, in. his opinion,
ought not to be filed. nominate
persons to fill all vacancies in the
office which existed at the meeting
of the Senate, whether temporarily
filled or not, and also in the place of
all officers suspended and if the
Senate during each session shall
refuse to advise and consent to an
appointment in the place of any
suspended officer, then, and not
otherwise, the President shall nOmi-
nate another person as soon as prat =
ticable to the same session of the
Senate for the office"
The refusal Of the Senate to con-
firm only renders it necessary for
the President to send in another
name his first selection conducting
the Office until the Senate is suited
with some one else.

President Hayes served under Gen.

The merchants of Philadelphia
have entered into an arrangement
with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company for the payment of losses
by the Pittsburgh riots. Neither
merchants nor company waive any
legal right, but are to cooperate in a
suit against the County of Allegheny
for damages. There was at one time
prospect of disagreement between
the merchants and the company,
both being losers by the riot, but the
Junction of their forces which has
been effected, will result in concerted
action against the city of Pittsburgh,
