AN OBSTINATE o. p.
New York. June PA Washing
ton special to the Evening Post says
Mr.. Burchard, director of the mint,
according to the present statement,
has deciued TO test the power OF the
president to remove him from office.
There are two offices in the trcasu-
| ~ which were created by special
statue, the tenure of which, IL is as
sumed, makes IL impossible for the
president TO suspend the incumbents
unless the senate shall consent.
The offices are those OF director of the
mint and comptroller of currency.
The law uuder which the director
of the mint receives his appointment
is as follows ale shall be appointed
by the president, by aud with the adj
vice and consent of the senate, and
shall be the head of his Office for the
term of five years, unless sooner re-
moved by the president upon reasons
to be communicated by him to the
senate.
The claim is that the
pbrascology of the act differs from
all general statutesas to appointment
and that, though the directors may b,
suspended during the recess, his of
! flee reverts 10 him should the senate
fail to confirm his successor. Thos
who take contrary views maintain
that the special statute creating tn
office, If it means what the friends o
incumbent state Il does, is q violation
of the constitutional rights of til
5 president to appoint to Office.
