The Tenure of Office Act.

Judge Richard II. Stanton, an &C.
complished lawyer and politician, says
in The MaysUiUe (Ky.) Bulletin:
For the benefit of certain federal
officers now holding by appointment
of the president and confirmation of
the senate, if they are silly enough to
believe that they cannot be removed
until the expiration of the term for
which they are appointed, we propose
to disabuse their minds of so redfA-
lous an opinion. The question of the
| power of the president to remove was
considered almost at the beginning of
the government, and was decided in
1889 that he had the power to remove
without the consent of the senate.
When Andrew johnson became presi-
dent the northern men then in power
proposed to check and control him by
the enactment of law tying his hands
in regard to the power of removah
This was the tenure of Office act, which
was passed in 1867 over his veto.
This act provided that every person
holding an office for which he had
been confirmed by the senate should
hold it until his successor had been ap-
pointed in like manner, unless he
should be suspended during the recess
OF the senate for misconduct in office
or crime, or because incapacitated.
IL the senate on meeting should not
concur in the suspension, he should
resume the functions of his offiGshM
Johnson's alleged violation of the LAW
In the removal of Stanton from the war
office was one of the principal charges
on which he was attempted to be i'm
peached.
Gen. Grant, when he became presi-
dent, did not fancy the re-
straints that this law placed upon hp
right OF removal, and soon after his
Inauguration the act was so modified
rs to provide that the presidential ap-
oointees might be suspended at the
pleasure of the president during the
ecess of the senate, and if the senate
turing the next session should refuse
o confirm the person appointed in the
lace OF any suspended officer, theh
resident might nominate another
Jnder the act passed during President
ohnson's term, if the senate did not
on1rm the new nomination, the sus-
ended officer might resume the func-
ions of his office. Not so, however. nm

they might be, owing to the quality. and
