EFFECT OF THE TENURE-OT- OFFICE ACT.
Although the Republicans in caucus
failed to agree upon the party policy re-
garding the proposition to make an issue
with the administration upon the ques-
tiOn Of removals without cause from
Offices which are not covered by the
tenure-Ot-0ifce act, they seem to have
been unanimously opposed TO such re-
mOvals, for when the nomination of Mr..
McGraw, to be Internal Revenue COllec-
tor OF the West Virginia district, was
reached the point was made that
the incumbent was an ex.Union
soldier, and that he bad not served four
years. II was argued that though the
Office had no liked term, the principles of
the tenure-Of-0fiice act were nevertheless
applicable, and the Republicans ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to
making removals Of the kind pro-
posed upon political grounds
alone. A motion was made to postpone
action until after the list Of pending nomi-
nations had been gone over, and upon a
yea ana nay vote was carried by a strict
party vote. Several others OF the uncOm-
tirmed nominations were temporarily
laid aside upon the same ground, and
when the list bad been com plptedthe SUBJ
iect was further discussed. There being
no prospect of an agreement without
long debate, it was concluded to postpone
action until December.
