THE 'DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MAY 7, I860. Tbe Constitutional Tower ot the Senate In Appointment. To tht Editor of the Kvetny 'J eU graph- The Senate amendment to the Post Oilice Appropriation bill, which has just passed that body, calls public attention to a Bubcct of great morrivnt. That amendment provides that "No person e.xerciH.np; or performing the duties of any office which by law Is required to be filled by the advice and consent of the Senate, shall, before Ins confirmation by the Senate, receive any salary or compensation tlbis services, unless be be commissioned by uv President to fill up a vacancy occurring by reason of death, resignation, or expiration of term of office during the recess of the Senate and since its lost adjournment, or removed lor acta done in violation of the duties of his office, the caso and cause of removal to be reported to the fcenste at Us next 8' ion." As is well known, tr Constitution pro vides ibat, except in r tain specified cases, all appointments to f acq shall be made "by nnd with the advice id consent of the hen ate." To provide ' vacancies which might "happen" during 9 ecess of the Senate, the President Is auth' .(zed "to fill up all vanencies that may happe:. during the recess of the fcenatc, by gruntintr commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session." linderthis latter clause of the 'Constitution an abuse has obtained which threatens to totally subvert the constitutional functions of the Senate as a tuirt ol the appointing power. The practice has grown up of making vacancies bv removal during the recess of the Senate, then to commission new officers holding until the end of the next session. If that body do not In the mean time confirm the appointment of the incum bent, then, at the end of the next session, a vacancy occurs by the expiration of his com mission, when the l'resident Immediately reappoints him, and he holds on acain until the end of the next session. Thus an officer may be kept perpetually in power, without tbe advice and consent of the Senate. This anamolous proceeding might be ex tended so that every officer in the Govern ment should be holding under Presidential appointment alone, and the power of the Senate be thus cntirclv subverted. The framere of the Constitution never contem plated anything of this sort ; and the language of the Constitution will not bear such a con struction. A vacancy "happens" only when it is made In a certain way, such as by death, casualty, resignation, or the like. A vacancy made by removal does not. in any Just sense ol the word, "happen." Who would think of maintaining, because the Constitution pro vides that it vacancies "happen" in the Senate during the recess ot a Legislature, the Exe cutive ot the State may make temporary ap pointments, that therefore the Executive may make a vacancy by removal, and then pro ceed to fill it? It is high time the power to make these extra constitutional appointments should be tested, and the Senate has taken a step in the right direction hi adopting the amendment in question. W. S. (JITY INTELLIGENCE I For Additional Local Items see Eighth Fage. Death of G. C. Bower, Jit. The meeting of the Press Club 011 Saturday afternoon, was well attended, und the action had was of an ex tremely interesting character. Every speaker testified to the virtues ot the deceased. As a matter of respect the Club resolved to attend the luneral in a body. Casper bonder, Jr., the President of the Club, was In the chair. Ernest C. Wallace moved that a committee he appointed to draft au appropriate memorial in his honor. The loilowing; sentle men were appointed the committee: Ernest C. Wallace, John Davis Watson, William II. Gun ninpton, Jchn It. Yoimjr, John Husson, John McDevitt. John M. (iiier. The following was then submitted to the body: Tnecommlttee appoint! rl to take action on the decease of Mr. George C. Mower, Jr., one of the original members of the Philadelphia Press Club, desire to place upon the record of the Club a tet timonial of the repard in which Mr, Dower was held by his associates. He began bis iournali-nc career somo ten years since, and up to the day of his death he showed a degree of zeal and energy in the pur suit ot the profession of his choice which was worthy of emulation. He was connected with most of the daily papers of this city as reporter or correspondent; he also labored ably and faithfully as correspondent lor journals in other cities during the Rebellion. ' Discarding pecu niary advantages which might have accrued if he had abandoned the prolession he had delibe rately adopted, he clung to his journalistic career during the storm ot war and during a more peacelul era. As a correspondent "at the front," during the deadliest campaigns of the Army of the Potomae.he w as ever foremost, and his reports weie alwavs eagerly looked for. So zealous was he that, in the line of his duty, as he understood it, he received a wound which temporarily disabled him, though it did not diminish hiB ardor in the pursuit to which he had at that time devoted his life. During the past lew months Mr. Bower had turned his attention to the acquisition of the art of telegraphy, with a view to making that branch of the dissemi nation ot information the business of his more mature years. He pursued this study with indefatigable energy, ami up to the day before his death he was enipl'uecl in gainiug a tho rough knowledge of the art. The committee felt tree to protlVr the wurmcst eulogies of their deceased associate. He wum a thor ugh gentle man, a warm 1 1 lend, and u pleasant companion, in the liitiore of the prolession. Full of kindly feeling himself, he drew lorth from all with whom he was connected k'ndred qualities, and when they stand around bis open grave, every member of this Club who has ever been in cOTi' hid with him, will have orue warm and kisdly recollection of (ieoige Collier Bower. ThccOKV nnrtee therefore oiler the loilowing: Resolved, That the forceolng testimonial d Upon tlio minutes ol the association. Jiesolved That iu icspcct 10 the memory l deceased, the members of the Freis Cl; .ill attend tlio funeral in a lindi ; and that'. 1 pygf the resolutions be trausnilt'eu to the lauily o deceased lUanlved, That a member of tho Ciub bev -printed to prepare a biographical rot moir of the deceased, o be read ai tome luture meeting of tho Club Appropriate addresses were made by Messrs. Wallace, Hasson, Waton, Rankle, Houder, McDevitt, Smith, and Fisher, after which tbe molutions were adopted. Ernest C. Wallace, eq., was appointed to prepare the memoriuL ANNIVERSARY OB' TIIK NORTHERN HOME rou Friendless Cim.DitiN. The Filteenth An niversary of this praiseworthy institution will be Held in Rev. A.

Revs. Henson, Cookman.and Beadier will tnuke short addresses. There will also be a number of dialogues and re citations by the children of the Home, one hun dred of whom will be present. They will also sing a number ofbcautiful and appropriate songs and hymns. As the occasion gives prombe of great interest, it is to be hoped there will be a large attendance. A collection for the purpose of raising a fund for the proper furnishing of the school-room will tie token up. The desks and benches in the school-room are very sa lly out of repair, and need renewing, an oblect which it is hoped will be secured by the collection to-morrow evening. Tho Union Passenger Railroad cars run directly past Dr. Cookman's church. ' No chargo for admission. A Turning of tub Tahi.es. The par ticulars of the accusation A Daniel Foley for the minder of James Needh have been already published. They were dioeustlng In the ex treme. The accusers were Cornelius Iloyer, his wife, and Johnson Kelly. The complaint was made on Saturday week, when Alderman r eH t committed all the parties for a hearing. X ds was held on last Saturday. Tbe story is niw proved a deliberate conspiracy, and It ei del in the committal ol the witnesses for perji ry ami eorifpiincy. It will be remembered that on the first hearing the witnesses swore point bl ink that some time ago Foley called at the t .Tern of Lioyer, Front and Wharton streets, and off red some gold plnte and two sets of teeth 'or sale. It whs noticed, however, that while Hover swore that the gold plate and talse teeth were ottered for sale to him, and that Kelly advised him not to buy them, as be would probably get himself into trouble by doing so, Mrs. Boyer swore that her husband was not present, but that the plate and teeth were offered to her. When the cise was ready for a further hearing, Cornelius Boyer was lirst called upon to testify. Alderman Bottler said Yon wcro sworn on Satur day last in this case; repeat in tho presence ol Poliy's counsel what you then said. Hover I was in liquor then; 1 don't know any thing about this matter. Mr. iteltli r Did Daniel Foley ofTor to sell to you gold j late and two sots of false teeth T Boyer 1 don't know anytning about it. Mr. Beit cr Anything about itf about what? lioyer 1 don't knov ol his coming to tho house wuh a gold plate and teeth; 1 was lu liquor when 1 made the statement On the cross-examination Boyer repeated the sami tl'ier, declaring that he had never seen a gold plat) in Foley's potsi ssion. Johnson Kelly was now called up by the Alder man, and was told to state all ho knew about th plate and false teeth. Ko.ly I said 1 thought Foley was tho man who brought the sold p ate and fct'tli to the house 01 lioyer; I did not say he was the man Mr. Beitlor Yes, you did Bay so; you said, also, that you advised Cornelius lioyer not to buy the p ale ana teeth, yet Mis. Boyer swore that Corneliu was not present; which of tuera sworo to tho truth, Mr. or Mrs Iloyer t Kelly Boyer was not there at the time. The counsel for Fo;cv, alter asking Kellv a few questions, said that ho thought Foley entitled to his discharge, and tho Alderman dismissed the com pliifnt. Mr. O'Byrno, who represented Foley, now pre ferred a charge of perjury against Hover and Kelly, and Foley was sworn. He said I was present at ti e heaiing on Saturday last, and thero was not ono word of truth In what lioyer and Kelly sworo to;ll never took gold plato and false teeth to Hover's house; nor do 1 believe that Keliy even saw me until the day of my arrest. Cross-examined by Mr. Bonham Did not you say to Kelly and Boyer, in the County Prison, thar the best way to net out of the scrapo was to say that you all had been on a drunken spree t Witness 1 did not. Mr. tieitler W hat did Boyer say to you on the SUi Ject 1 itness Ho aked mo how I felt with the ropo about my neck, and 1 told him he ought to be ashamed 01 himself to speak to me In ttiat wav ; he then saia that the best way to get out ot tho trouble was to say that thev wero drunk, and taat they knew nothing about tho matter. Mr. Beitler committed them in default of four thousand dollars bail each. Police Items. Before Alderman Devlin on Saturday, William Newman was charged Willi having broken into a room on the third floor of No. 11 South Third street, occupied by Edward Butler, and stealing trow a bureau clothing and small articles valued at about forty dollars. The allegation is that the defendant was familiar with the premises: that he was seen about the building during the day of the robbery, and that he had no visible means of support. The door leading to the room of Mr. Butler was forced open by a large iron spike, which was found upon the premises. Newman was held in $1000 bail to answer at Court. Margaret Smith was arrested In a store at Seventh and South streets, while ottering to pledge a new delaine dress and a sack. The articles were afterwards identified as the pro perty of Mrs. Moullan, residing at No. 1007 Nay lor street. The accused was taken before Alderman Boneall, and committed for a further hearing. A New Yorker named John Clark was arrested at Second and Brown streets, on suspicion of the larceny of clothing from a hotel. It is Faid that he has been stopping at various houses and registered a different name at each place. He w as committed by Alderman Toland. Complaints of losses by pickpockets have of late been so numerous that an effort is now being made to drive the whole fraternity from the city. On Saturday night raids were made upon all the thieves' boarding-houses in Philadel phia. Different detachments of police were eent to different localities, under the direction ot Chief of Detectives Franklin. The result was tho capture of about foity persons. People. who have suffered from pickpockets are requested to be present at 2 o'clock at the Central Police Station, at Filth and Chesnut, this afternoon, where they can see these vagabonds, and if pos sible identify them. It is hoped that everyone interested will be present. Chief Franklin is doing all that is in his power to drive pick pockets from the city. It now remains lor the victims of these scamps to come forward and identify them. A Professor Elected. Charles T. Stille has been elected by the Trustees ot the Univer sity of Pennsylvania Professor of Belles Lettres, vice Professor Coppee, resigned. Professor Coppee leaves the University with the best withes of both faculty and students, he having during his long connection with the college done much to gain the respect and esteem of all. He was a true friend to tho collegian, and many now in the turmoil of business life look back to pleasant hours passed in his class-room. He was a thoroueh disciplinarian, yet none were more kiud. Professor Stille is a gentleman of high literary attainments, and well calculated to till the position for which he has been selected. New II06E HOUSE.
