The Tenure Of Office Bill.
WASHINGTON. November 19th.-It is
probable that the tenure of-oflice bill will
be q subject for judicial determination
within the next year. What the Senate
Will do i'll relation to the confirmation of
Cleyeland's appointments remains to be
seen, and its course will probably be de-
tcrmined by caucus action. If the Senate
should confirm any appointee of Governor
Cleyeands to an Office filled by Repub
lican, whose term had not expired. that
officer would probably apply to the Courts
for 4 mandamus, to compel the newly con-
iirmed officer to vacate the post. In that
manner the legal meaning OF the Act
would be judicially decided.
