The President and the Senate.

To the Editor of The REPUBLICAN:
We hear constantly that we are now to
learn who is President-the man chosen by the
people, or the Senate, or portion OF the Senate
Many words darken counsel" No one that
have heard Of proposes to encroach upon the legal
prerogatives of the President. The trouble is that
the ickspittles who awn at the feet of the Presi-
dent and who feed upon the crumbs that fall
from the Executive table and lie putrefying there"
keep out of sight the pregnant fact that the ap-
pointing power is not lodged with the President
alone The Constitution provides that &" the Presi-
dent may nominate. and, by and with the ADVICE and
consent of the Senate, appoint" &c. The appoint
ing power is conjOint one, the President having
the initiative and the Senate the conclusive power
The Senate cannot confirm unless the President
first nominates, can the President appoint un-
less the Senate finally confirms. The action of
each in and by itself is not only yoidabe, but
Is absolutely void and of non effect. When the
President nomin6tes he has done all he possibly
can do 10 show that he is President and the Senate
concuTs in his assumption when it either confirms
or rejects his nominations. What balderdaSh it is
to assert that it is time for him to show that he is
President, and he alone! Nobody disputes it. But
il is also time for him to understand that the
Senate stands on an equal footing with him in this
matter of appointments. If he will do that then
all this trouble viii end. Let him content him
self with the power the Constitution eonferS
upon him. and not encroach on the constitutional
rights of the Senate, and harmony will soon be
restored If he makes good nominations and the
Senate cautiously rejects them, the people will
hold them to strict account therefor, and, on
the other hand, if he attempts to usurp powers
not clearly given to him by the sovereign people,
they will just sternly condemn him. And now
one word from partisan point of view: No one
man made the Republican party; nor can any one
man, however powerful or exalted. destroy it.
Whoever attempts the latter, whatever the pre-
text may be- viii be ground to powder under the

HaZPn-S HOWEarS-
To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN;

10 the E0ltOr OF IHE REPUBLICAN;
Although the grievances of the men of
the Signal Corps have been and are numerous, do
not think one as superlatively debasing and gall
ing aS this can be mentioned. As young enlisted
man of the bureau for the benefit of commerce
and agriculture was returning home yesterday
afternoon, and while passing the Immediate en-
trance of the COrcoran Art Gallery, looking as he
strobe on at the elegantly dressed ladies issuing
therefrom and entering their vehicles he was as
the ladies and their escorts, startled by these
exclamatiOns and questions, uttered in a
nasal falsetto, perceptibly affected by lubri-
cation of fusil oil: What are you about there :?
Come to an attention.. Why don't you salute me-"
All of which the young man had to endure in the
hearing and presence of others. which of course
intensified his modification. Lest the other Off
GERS of the Signal Corps may suffer in popular eS-
TEEN, give the name of the author of the above
twenty-four carat insolence as w. E Birkheimer
a SOI-dts1M gentleman who. by fortuitOuS circum-
stances, is lieutenant in the army. If there is
law OF courtesy or an army regulation which COM
pels private in citizens dress in a public place
TO be on the lookout for and to in one time and
four motions salute an officer disguised in the
garb of gentleman, will you please publish it or
cause it to be issued? CIVITAS

Mr.. Manning, lately clerk under the
Secretary of the Senate, made his appearance here
yesterday. 1t soon understood that he had lost
his ofice-had been superseded by Mr.. Lusty,
member of the Legislature of this State from the
county of Harrison, who had voted for Senator
Camden; that he had been appointed at the re-
quest of Senator Camden; that there was nothing
alleged against Mr.. Manning; that he had dis
charged his duties faithfully; that his retention
had been asked by the Governor attorney general,
auditor and treasurer of this State, as well as by
many estimable and influential Democrats; that
Mr. Lustys duties legislator will be active next
winter at the adjourned session of the Legislature
and that unless he resigns he will have to be at
Wheeling and Washington at the same time. 1t is
not intended to blame Senator Camden for putting
ex-senator Hereford'S friend out and his own
friend in; but it cannot be understood how Sena-
tor Camden can have his own way about his clerks
and not let the majority have their way about their
clerks And we had heard that the reason why
the Democrats would not let the Senate be rcorgan
lied that it would be cruel to turn out the
present occupants of the Senate offices at this in
clement season of the year. SYMPATHY.

Let Us Have Peace.

The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is devoted
to the cause of Stalwart Republicanism.
We have seen that cause imperiled by
the New York appointments. In our
zeal for the party we have yehemently
cried out against what seemed to us vio-
lent dismemberment of the party in the
State of New York. The honored and
beloved leader of that party and of their
sympathizers throughout the Nation has
not deserved to be wounded in the
house of his friends. flour protests ha We
seemed too heated, they were in the right
direction. If there is to be war upon
the Stalwarts we shall be found with
them. Such a war is unnecessary, and
destructive of all for which the Nation
has suffered twenty years of disturb
ance. The wisdom of the party's best
leaders is now required, and is not want
ing.
The action of yesterdays senatorial
caucus shows that the crisis is clearly ap-
pretended. The Senators became calm,
and peace, not war, was the basis of their
discussions. Without a vote on any sub
iect, and without an irritating word, the
Senator'S unanimously concoTred i,1 calling a
halt! By general agreement all the Sen
ators resolved themselves into commit
tee of the whole to labor for a peaceful
and harmonious termination of the un-
fortunate differences in the party.
Every sincere Republican will wish for
success in this new effort. If success
comes, and a peaceful solution isreached,
no Republican worthy the name will
again sound a note of discord. Then
harmony can be preserved in the North,
and, with Malone and his brave followers
in the lead, the Solid South will be
broken. Then those who died for the Ma
ton will not have perished in vain. We
prefer to fight the common enemy when
we do not have towage defensive warfare
in behalf of Stalwart Republicans. Wesin-
cerely hope that wise counsels will prevail.
If the Republican party can be made
solid the South will divide. What
grander achievement need the admins
tration desire than to bring half, and
perhaps nearly all, the Southern States
to fraternal political relations with a
united North in 1884? What can COM
pensate for neglecting so great an oppor-
tunity?
No one connected with THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN has grievance against any
element Of the Republican party. 1t will
labor with such energy and power as it
can command for the general cause, with
much more relish than it has partici-
pated in dissensions which it had no hand
in creating. Let us have peace in the
party, and war only with the Bourbon
Democracy

Mistakes OF Newman and Ingerso1I.

To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN.
Parson Newman, in discussing infidel-
ity, says of Thomas Paine:
He is remembered in our national history because of
the ennence of his badness His notoriety is due to
the bodnesS of his indelity, which has thrown his
toriCal glamour about his name. He is remembered
just Judas and Andre, and Arnold.
This is as unfair as it is untrue, and Parson New
man falsifies history in saying it. He knows or
ought to know, that Paines 90 Common Sense" and
other pamphlets fired the revolutionary heart and
did as much to make the colonists stand shoulder
to shoulder against the expressions of the mother
country as any of the military manGuvreS of that
stirring period.
Bob Ingersoll in his talk last Sunday night, said
that Spain had never produced any great infidel
Did he forget CASTELAR,, the brightest man in that
priest down trodden country? He said that
Ireland had produced none. Did he forget Alfred H.
O'DonOughue, whose Theology and Mythology"
is as strong an argument against the divinity of
Christ as Bobs brilliant brain ever produced.
Stick to facts. gentlemen! LETS be hOnest"

Small RusineaS,
To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN.

10 tht Eult0r OF The REPUBLICAN,
Monday evening the writer and his
wife took street railroad car No. &C at hdlf-past
six o'clock p. m. opposite Burdette's dry-goods
store, on Seventh street northwest 1 handed the
person who pretended to act as conductor fifty
cents. He gave me in change forty cents. at
once told him 1 did not want the change, but
wanted tickets He said: 1t is too late; have
punched" felt so indignant at the performance
that We left the car rather than seem TO tolerate
such an outrage; and we walked home. This fel-
low has my money, and it looked as though he was
determined to profit by sharp practice. He was in
great hurry to get back to the platform to talk to
the crowd standing there. If this sort of thing
suits the Washington and Georgetown Railroad
Company then shall hope for several thousand
coaches. The smallness of the trick, only pocket
ing two fares, or the difference between money
and tickets, seems to be small business.

HIS the Acknowledgement moved in
tha<matter of investigating de factO Post
master-Gene Woodward's alleged steal
of $3.50 last month from the United States
Treasury for his account, certified upon
honor to have been for services when
actually engaged in travelling on busi-
ness Of the Department." when the fact
is he was on duty in Washington during
that period. Come! Mr. Attorney-Gen-
eral! YOU seem anxious to demonstrate
what YOU have preached during the past
several years, that the Republican party
is an organization of corruption. Now
let us hear from you on this misconduct
mild term-of one of your own col
leagues on the subject of civil-service re-
form. We pause for action.
Mr.. CONRLING, in explaining the famous Sunday
interview at the White House with Mr.. Garfield,
pUrporting 10 have been made by the President as
to the same conference.-the York TiibluaGs Wash
iRgtDH Correspondence.
No third party was present at the inter-
view referred to between the President
and Mr.. Conkling. The public have been
informed through administration papers
of much that occurred and was said to
have occurred at that interview. There
has been truth enough mixed in with the
story to show that it had been obtained
from one who knew, and untruth enough
to show pitiful effort to do gross injus-
tice to the Senator Then there have
been "niggardly half-truths," which poi
son worse than out-and-out falsehoods.
All that was untrue may have been mixed
in by the correspondents, and the Presi-
dent may have given accurate reports as
far as he went. We hope the Senator
will act upon the accepted rule that when
a portion of a conversation is reported by
one of the parties to it the other party
may publicly state the whole.
GENERAL GARFIELD is President of the United
States. Mr.. Conkling represents the one-seventy-
sixth part of one branch of Congress. Mr.. Garfield
has more power than the entire senate.-NelV York
Tfibtsc
My! What great big man Garfield is,
and what a little bit of a man Conkling
is! Three branches! Only think of it
Conkling only one-seventy-sixth of one
branchI Thus:
Government. Three departments
President. t........................0 One department
Congress. One department.

The President may well exclaim, Big
Injun me! Ugh! Whoop!" But, then,
what is all the trouble about? What
does the President care about little
atom like Senator, Or even Senate
He has more power than the enare
Senate" What glorious thing is power
Like Bolton in the play, he ought easily
TO "crush, conclude, and quell."

What clerk SAYS.

To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN:
Will you inform me what kind ofpolicy
we, as party, are going to be afflicted with this
time? The Hayes administration degraded and
reduced those clerks who were the more liberal
with their money In defraying the necessary ex-
penses of his campaign When Garfield was NOM
mated his friends made very pressing requests to
the clerks to make liberal contributions, in order
to meet legitimate requirements of the campaign.
Those of us who had always been foremost with
our money and work in the interest of the party
were told, help this time, and you may rest
assured that we will have Stalwart Republican
administration" When the election is over the
men who gave literally to the party are adjudged
to be in the way of civil-seryice reform. II will
be harder to raise funds next time. JUSTICE.
