Mr.. Keiley's Case.

The Baltimore American assumes tnaC
Mr.. Kelley, in his speech fifteen years ago,
on Italian affairs, took violent grounds as
to the temporal power of the Pope, "
maintaining the Church in its vehement
protest against the State" The American
argues that the principle and pollty pre-
sented in this position might be offensive
to the Austrian government, and that for
this reason Mr.. Keiley's presence might
not be agreeable. We cannot see what re-
lation Mr.. Keiley's abstract opinions upon
a question not connected with diplomatic
duties could have to his ministerial obi
cations. It could be no part OF his mission
and entirely foreign to the purpose OF MS
government to discuss or express an opln-
ion on that question. 1t could be with
equal relevancy and propriety object
ed to him because he believed in q Re
publican form of government and is OPP
posed to the principle and the policy OF
the traditional dynasties of Europe
This government has no concern, in its
Diplomatic relations, with the issues which
disturb, or have disturbed, the relations OF
the Pope and the King Of Italy, and it
would be outside the chart OF Mi. Kelley
authority to intermeddle with any such
matters. 1t certainly would be compro-
mise of the dignity of the United States
to admit that Austria had the right to pre-
scribe the limitations of thought and opln-
ions of citizen of this country on ques-
ton not german to official action, and
entirely abstract and independent in their
relation to international courtesies. 1t
would be time enough for Austria to COM
plain and for the United States to recog-
nize the complaint when Mr.. Kelley should
so forget his mission and his duties as to
| interfere in the domestic concerns OF Ell
ther the State or the church, in their con-
f1icts and antagonisms. 10 our view,
Austria would fall beneath the dignity OF
an independent sovereignty, were she tc
regard as cause of offense the opinions OF
an American citizen, expressed in his ca
pacity as private citizen, In relation to
conditions in another country, upon ques
ton that could not legitimately come I'M
der his notice as representative Of this
government, and the United States would
lower her national character and be exposed
tot the contempt of our own people were any
such policy or principle to be recognized
| in her intercourse with other powers.
Mr.. Kelley is gentleman, scholar and
an American citizen fully equal to the du-
| ties to which he has been assigned, and il
would be national humiliation for his
government to sanction the stigma that
Austria's rejection would imply. We
commend the administration OF Mr.. Cleve
land in it's declared purpose not to recall
him. 1t could not be done without stulti-
fication and disgrace to the government.

Referring to the recently appointed
Treasurer for the city of Lynchburg, which
was published as "Mahone outrage, " the
Lynchburg Aduance says: 'sMr. Dunn is
fully qualified for the office in business
point OF view, and it is presumed can fur
nish the bond, but the people had reason
to believe that Judge Latham would Sc
lect Democrat, and his selection gives
great dissatisfaction. This is very silly
and foolish. Judge Latham has given to
the city acompetent and responsible officer
One well qualified for the duties required
Of him. What more could they ask, con-
sidered as matter common sense and pub
lie interest? Bourbon greed and hate are
unappeaseable.

A Pressing Business Wa t.

The business community is every day
feeling the need of an economical. wisely
regulated bankrupt law. Assignments are
becoming entirely too numerous, and in
every instance, almost, preferred creditors
consume the assets, leaving the general
creditors, whose claims are of equal dig
nifty, inasmuch as they are supposed to
have given a dollars worth for every dol
lar of their accounts, to hold the bag. A
law that would place all creditors on an
equal footing, and distribute to them,
pro rata, the whole assets would tend
more to restore public confidence than any
measure that could be adopted. Asst now
is, the business interests are so shaken
that results even more serious must follow
unless something is done to give assurance
that the merchant who sells his goods will
have some guarantee against absolute loss.
We know of case where an assignment
was made of goods in the depot, ard the
man whose goods they were and from
whose possession they had not actually
passed, had his property turned over to
another party who hadn't the shadow of a
claim against him, but who was a prefer
red creditor Of the merchant to whom the
goods were addressed. 1t is time this
kind of business were brought to close,
and the sooner the better for all concerned.

The President recently appointed Gen.
E. F. Noyes, of Ohio, to be one of the
Government Directors Of the Union Pa
cifc Railroad. He is Republican, and
his appointment caused great connection
in the Democratic camp. 1t is said Gen.
Hoadley recommended him and it is
further stated that Gen. Noyes will de-
cline at the Governors instance, as Hoad-
lev did not think of the hornets nest he
was stirring up about his own head, when
he made the Recommendation.

Lord Randolph Churchill, assigned in
the new ministry to the Indian Bureau,
stood for an election in the borough OF
Woodstock. The duties of his Office were
SO exacting that he could not be among
the people to solicit their suffrages. His
American wife, formerly a Miss Jerome,
of New York. undertook to canvass for
him, and won by handsome majority. His
opponent, a MI. Grant, was championed
by a number of Oxford girls, but the
dashing American girl. who may have ia
ken lessons in political arts from Dean
Richmond or boss Tweed, carried off the
prize in handsome style. The contest ex-
cited great interest throughout England
and the success of Lady Churchill makes
her heroine, whose praises are on every
ones lips.

the President is authorized, in his discretion

cept Judges of the courts of the United States,
until the end of the next session of the Senate,

There is diversity of opinion in regard to
the proper construction OF these sections
and the effect of suspension Of an officer
whose commission runs for specified pc
Rod. 1t was construed by Senators, in the
| discussion of the subject, when the Sec
| lions quoted above were being considered
that the suspension of an officer by the
President was virtually dismissal from
service, without the possibility of REIN
statement, unless upon denomination by
the President. 1t was assumed that II the
successor Of a suspended officer was re-
| jected Ny the Senate, the President could
send in another name, and If he was re-
| jected, then to continue sending in names
until the close of the session, when if no
confirmation were had, the officer desig-
mated by law would discharge the duties
of the position. Other Senators main
tanned that when an appointment was not
confirmed, the suspended officer would re-
sumo the place, as in contemplation Of
law he was the only person who could be
legally considered an appointment, as the
concurrent consent of the President and
Senate was necessary to fully equip an Of
ficer. The constitution and laws prescribe
the method of appointment. The Presi-
dent may recommend and the Senate must
