the propriety OF reporting a bill providing
rebate. on all imported materials incor-
porated with domestic materials or con-
verted into other. articles and exported to
foreign countries for sale, thereby provit'-
ing for the extension of foreign trade with
out reducing the prices OF American labor.
Adopted.
The senate took up the biE:to repeal the
tenure Of Office act. Mr.. Edmunds opposed
the bill at some length when he was at
tackled with a fit OF coughing, which forcel
him to resume his seat. Mr.. Hoar favored
the bill. Mr.. Evarts said:
He would vote for the bill. Grounds OF
,constitutionality would not cover his vote,
but grounds Of expediency would. Ii re-
movals from Office were to turn on two con-
current Judgments where the president
and the senate mig ght be opposed in politics,
it would follow that the repugnance
OF the senate might keep a man in Office
whom the president desired to dispense
with, and by whose action the president
could not accomplish his duty.
HousE.-A senate bill passed providing
that Admirals Rowan and Worden may,
after forty years service, be retired from
active service on their own application,
withthe highest pay OF the grade to which
they belong.
The senate bill for the allotment oflands
to Indians passed, amendments recon-
mended by tbs committee on Indian affairs
having been adopted. The sundry civil
bill was taken up. An amendment to in
crease from $4,000 to $4,000 the ap-
propria tion for outdoor life OF persons en-
titled to entrance into soldiers home
was rejected-101 to lit. pr
Mr.. Nelson of Mimi, reported from the
committee on Indian affairs Mr.. Toole's
bill giving to the St. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba railroad the right ofway through
the Fort Berthold aud Blackfeet Indian res
ervations. The report was accompanied
by letters from Indian Commissioner At
kins and Secretary Lamar, assuring the
committee that there was no objection to
the bill in the shape presented.
SENATE.-The senate passed, without dis
cussion or division, the bill for the re tire
ment and jrecoinage OF the trade dollar. The
senate also passed the bill to repeal the
tenure OF office act by a vote OF 80 to %.
The law is but shadow OF the iron clad
Of Of 1857 held ' in G check ''ePuDetet Pres dent
Johnson. As it then stood it for
bade removals from Office during he ses-
sion Of the senate except with the advice
and con sent OF that body. During the re-
cess OF the senate the president was al lowed
to make no removals at all, but might
n To- otn av
OF miscondu ct in office, crime or
incapacity until the next meeting Of the
senate. When Grant became president the
! house OF represen TIA tives, being overwhelm-
| ingly Republican, voted to repeal the law,
| but the more cautious senate would consent
only to a modifca tion oft. The law as then
amended gives the president unlimited pow
er OF suspension during the recess OF
! the senate until the end OF the next session
OF the senate. Should the senate refuse to
| approve the suspension the discarded OF.
ficer would be restored to his place on the
| final adjournment of the senate but as
the president can Immediately resuspend
him this RESTRICT on is futile, and for all prac-
tical purposes the suspension Of an Official
during recess OF the senate is his dismis-
sal. No suspended officer has ever been
restored since the passage OF the act OF
1869, and all the efficacy, remaining in
|
OF removals from office during the ses-
sion OF the senate, unless that body
approves the removal and consents
to the appointment OF a new man
