An Elaborate Opinion

GEO. Ticknor Curtis, the noted con-
stitutional lawyer, has given an ella
bOrste opinion on The power of re-
Wovsi OF Federal off csrs by the
President as effected by the tenure
OF Office act Of 1867 aud the am eude ed
act 1869. He fuds that the Presi-
dent may remove any officer by aud
with the consent Of the Senate, the
confirmation OF the successors nom
ination by the Senate being the con-
sent required. Ii the Senate refuses
TO Confirm be can send in another
nomination aud the incumbent loses
his place in any event,
So when the Senate is in recess.
the President can suspend any off
Ger who can be removed, in which
case the name OF q successor must
be sent to the Senate within thirty
days after resssembliug, II reject
ed, the President can send TO the
Senate one name after another until
one Is confirmed. But in no CAGE ia
the supsnied official Ieinstated. In
other words, under the tenure OF Of
tcs act, suspension is equivalent to
the old-time removal.
Should the Senate refuse to COIL
hrm any nomination sent to it by
the President, the Office simply re-
mains untitled AMI the powers and
tho duties which belong to it exer-
cised by such other officers as may
by law preform them in case of va
cancy in the oflcs::and the condition
may continue until the Ssnete con-
firms q nomination or until the COM
mlsSioA Of the removed officer ex-
pirss. In other words. the Senate
may refuse TO confirm the Presid ent's
nominations, bat it has NO power to
prevent him from inherent in his Of
fee. If the Senate be so disposed it
can paevent any removed or sus-
pended Official from being succeeded,
but cannot keep that person in Office.

HOW TO GET IN.

There is going to be an enormous gath.
ering of people al Washington mex; month
and while every provision is being made
In advance to avoid confusion and insure
the comfort of all. still "the gods help
those who help themselves" To look cut
for number one is but the natural course
sensible man would follow. The rail
road situation in Wash ngton is easily TO
be understood. There are but two depot
in the city. Lotto one will come an az
grCgAtion of travel from the South; the
North, the East and the West train sf
ter train, Thousands upon thousands of
people, until "packed like eardines in a
box" would be but feeble way to put Il.
Into the other depot will only come the
trains of the b Iltimore aud Ohio, that
Company owning and using IL exclusive
ly for Its own business-everything in the
hands of lis own officials, and details 30
arranged that there can be no mixing up
nor getting on or Z # trains at wrong times
and wrong places. Indeed. il would not
take much thought on the part of those
who have had any Experience whatever as
TO chOwds to appreciate the advantage the
q go. possesses in Washington. Then.
too, there are facilities the lines have ID
regard to track room and unrestricted
means Of getting trains directly into Dc
pots. FIR instance, the b. s. o. is III.
only road into Washington which can and
docs separate lis passenger business SO
that trains from the West come into
Washing on on the tracks of Que division
and the trains from the E at and North
upon the tracks Of another division,
The greatost Importance of these facii
ties may be appreciated from the fact that
all the trains tbst enter The n ltional Cap
itap upon other huss than the b. s. 0.
come together ia single depot, aud the
packing and jamming will be something
terrific to behold, lot alone getting in aud
about them. The great number of trains
from the Southern lines alone would com
pleteIy Ill depot double the capacity of
OF The one in q estion, and when to them
are sdded those from other sections, the
chances are that good many passengers
will have TO walk into town or spend the
day or night abrOsd in yam regrets that
tickets were MT bought by los e. g. o.
Another item OF 40 ordinary interest &c
Western people 10 that by any other line
TO washington thar the b fillmore and
Ohio all trains from the West have 10
come together with trans FROM the East
anG North. and sll use one South bound
track for fOriy -Odd miles. That tosav
that no other line but the b. g. o. has two
different DIVISIONS into Washington, one
for it's traiDs from tue North aud East
All this may prove more or lees confusing
or perplcKing % those who contemplate
attending the Inauguration, and the beat
way TO settle all doubt is to decide 10 90
by the b. q o. aud thus avoid all danger
OF going wrong.

There are no forelegs to be seen,

that they only become visible when
held out from the animaIs body
to which they closely adhere. Its
hind legs are just the reverse. They
seem out of all proportion to the

By their aid he can clear space of
fully thirty feet at a bound, flying
through the air like gigantic cricket
or bird. In shape they resemble the
legs of a spring chicken, and at a

leaps out. Its extraordinary leaping
powers-in which the little forearms
are never used-had also given it the
name of flying hare.
