Gene raj Lawton's Case.
he Editor ofthe Dispatch .

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
II is not often that you tackle any
subject and fail to satisfy me of the cor
rectness Of your opinion. With great
care have read what your correspon-
dent X" had to say about General
Iawton's political disabilities" and
your comments on the same. Ii would,
however, appear TO me that you posi-
bly, may have the cold-blooded letter Of
the law ON your side, while "X" has
what was intended on his side.
1t may be that if you can put
your hand on the debates which
took place when the act of Con-
gress approved the Odd of May,
1872, was passed, il will throw a good
deal Of light on the subject. AS the
matter now stands. il doubtless APP
pears perfectly satisfactory TO your
correspondent "X" that he is right
whereas you are equally confident that
your view Of the matter is so justly
right that you cannot conceive how
there can be two opinions on the SUBJ
ject.
II may be dizziness on my part that
l cannot view the matter 10 form a
satisfactory opinion, but | have the
comfort Of knowing that ! have never

The Tenure Of Once.

A leading Republican writes to us as
follows concerning the act of Congress
providing for suspensions from office:
PETERSBURG, April 7, 1885.
To TIE Editor Of fhe Dispatch
This has been the practice under sec
ton l76e United States Revised Sta
tutes, known as the tenure-of-oflice act I;
President Cleveland suspends Collector
of-Customs Russell, Of your city, and
appoints John Smith to perform the
duties Of the office. When the Senate
meets Smiths nomination is sent to that
body by the President. The Senate
fails 20 act upon the same, and adjourns.
In that event Russell resumes the duties
Of the relationship. Yours, >"
The law contemplates action upon the
part Of the Senate; for il provides that
If the Senate shall refuse to confirm the
nomination made by the President, he
shall at tAe same sessiss send to that
body another nomination.
But our correspondent says that ifthe
Ssasts sdjourns without taking action
upou The nomination made by the Presi-
asni the suspended officer resumes the
olace. Wscannos imagine the Senate 70
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1885-04-09

Be unwise enouehto refuse % confirm :
nomination because upon tsadjoarnment
the suspended Republican official would
resume his Office; for under the law and
the custom, the President would imme-
diatcly suspend him again. II the Sem
ate should reject the nominee, the Pres'-
dent could not again appoint the same
man he appointed first TO take the
place Of the suspended officer; but
in the case supposed by our cor
respondent, the President could not
only suspend again the officer he
had previously suspended, but he
could actually "designate," to use
the word employed in the law, the
same person to ill the Office temperate
ly whom he had previously designated
for that purpose. The language Of the
law is clear. We quote IL once more !:
% During any recess Of the Senate
the President is authorized in his dis
cretion to suspend any civil officer
until the end Of the next ses-
sion Of the Senate, and 10 designate
some suitable person topper
form the duties Of such suspended off,
Ger in the mean time"
We see no room for doubt as to the
power OF the President in the premises.

low. and which looks 40 simple that i
would appear that any tsn.year-oid
public-school child could work It out
and not leave the shadow OF a remain
der. The sum is rs follows:
A and b buy 100 acres of land Tor
$500, each paying $3.50. After the
purchase A says to b If you will give
me first choice will invest my s250 IN
the land at rs cents per acre more thsn
what the balance will cost you" Now
how much land will A get, and how
much Bg The sum to be worked out
to smooth answer, say like z and .
makes mot make, s.
Both your argument and 1.-THE argument
Of your correspondent are good from
their several standpoints, but what 1
am after is the correct standpoint from
which to view such arguments,
To be plain, am constrained to say
that to me the points discussed are SO
every fine that it is hard matter to
form satisfactory opinion. Nj.
We have glanced over some of the
speeches made in Congress when the
bill which became the act Of May Y,
1872, was under consideration, but
without finding single remark that
throws any light upon the question of
General LAwToN's disabilities. Mr..
GARLAND will examine those debates
thoroughly, no doubt.
The problem submitted by our cor
respondent can be worked by anybody
who can find the square root of 200,
"say like Q and 3 makes s." Yes,
" makes" is right, but you will find it
so used only in PENDLEToN's arith-

Speaking of General LAwToN's case,
the Norfolk Landmark, which is care
full in its statements, says:
"This, we learn, is the opinion Of the
Attorney-General."
That is, that President JoHNsON's
pardon removed all General LAwTON's
disabilities, and that these did not again
attach when the fourteenth amendment
was declared in force. The Landmark
does not give its authority. Possibly,
it was Mr.. GoODE, who has been in
Washington recently. At any rate, the
President will be sure to be governed
by the Attorney-General's opinion.

We had thought that Mr.. Webster
originated the remark, which he made
in the celebrated India-rubber case, |
had not time to prepare short speech -;
but the Virginia LaV Journal for April

in which Mr.. Leigh speaks of =" this

Pneumonia rearfuily Increasing.

The fact that there were 49l deaths
from pneumonia in Chicago during the
first two weeks of March need not sur
prise any one" said DR.. Bagman yes
terday. 1.-The weather has been of
nature to assist the progress Of all dis
eases Of this class, and people neglect
the most ordinary precautions. At this
season nobody should expose them
selves to the cold after being over
heated. AS it is impossible to avoid
this in all cases, however, the next
best thing is to use DUFFY's PURE
MALT WHIsKEY, which is sure pre-
yentive Of. as well as remedy for, pneu-
monia, diphtheris, and all pulmonary
troubles. The leading druggists and
grocers sell it, and l consider it cheap
at dollar bottle, being entirely free
from all adulteration.'
