THE NEW YORK PRESS. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF LEADING JOURNALS VFON CURRENT TOriCS. COMPILED ETKRT DAT FOB IVKNINO TKLEQUAPH. The Memphis lUoU From the Tribune. When the Jamaica disturbances occurred,, tlie first accounts charged tbc negroes with couspl racy and wholesale massacres. It has since ap- Reared that there was no conspiracy, and that it was the whites who were guilty of massa- crclng the negroes, liij'he Memphis riots last week, tho first telegrams, as In the Jamaica case, laid all tho blame on the negroes who, it jnaybe remembered, do not control the tele jrrnph wires. - Whether subsequent and accu rate narratives will acquit the negroes and in culpate the whites, we do not know, but It is certain that the telegrams were bused on very Imperfect intormation. Tho Memphis papers of The morning alter the riot are at hand, and llioir stories about the origlu and progress of the affray are not merely inconsistent, but no two ol them aerec in any single particular, except that In one way or another they make Xhe rif-pro the occasion of the ditliculty. The Avalanche fays the riot oiicrinated from a difficulty between a white boy and negro boy, "whom two officers tried to separate," when 'a ciowd ot fifteen or twenty grown negroes, armed "W ith pibtols, surrounded ihc police and itiimu ii.i'.ely commenced an unprovoked assault upon th in. The Argus says it beenn by two police ir. n going to arrest a man who sold liquor in ti 'ith Memphis, whereupon negro toldiera nking in the erog shop charged upon the j1'. lice, uud were 111 turn attacked by a reinforce j jeni of constables. The Bulletin, remarking tin-1 there are hult-a-ilozcn rumors about tho ter, i.s positive that the trouble really becau h a necrro driving a wagon which came into li.sion with another wagon driven by a white 11. The two came to blows, wtiips were used, it negroes Interfered; then a policeman ,ie up and attempted to nrrest ol course ncgio first concerned. Pistols were drawn Doth sides, the tight became general, and i spread Indefinitely. The l'ost the only ; i't in Memphis that is not Rebel to the core nfciscs it could not ascertain the rause of P thi ditliculty, but gives one version, which is Vu. i is that sundry drunken colored foldiers tell on u policeman mid killed him (which cannot Ik true, because no policeman was killed), aud IL c the police and citizens ttien mndo an inc ecrimlnate attack on the negroes iu that Tie'. :liborhood. lae details given hi these four papers of the Tirogrets ot the tight do not awe any belter than the etorie9 they tell about its origin. It is useless to try to silt them. They all, however, a Jhiit that the negroes suffered out of all pro Toil ion to the whltts a remarkable result truly, considering that the negroes are churtred with being the aggressors, and are picturedas k-a vn up in great numbers iu lino of battle, and Jin;ig heavy volleys Into solid columns of clianr-an-c policemen. The one white man killed was iii by a stray ball. Wherever in the city a negro showed himself he was hunted ana tired en. Twenty, says tho Avalanche, were killed ai d wounded, and the sa'ue paper states that 'i..iiny negroes, who had nothing to do with the O'.ilxasein tiouth Memphis, were roughly treated in the intense and general excitement ot the liovr." A detachment of reeulars sent at a late lour to quell the riot took sides with the whites, its might be supposed, and "used no light per 6u;.sion in the matter, as the battered-up condi tion of many ol the negroes after vards sent to the: Station iloufe exhibited." In front of the GayofO House, about dark, a nero was shot in the lace. "The mob," says the Anjus, "was at 310 time in that locality." From the narrative of the Bulletin, which comes nearer to beiug coherent thun any other, it appPHrs that the regulais did not reach tho ground till alter the not had been suppressed, and whatever violence they committed was therefore wholly vindictive. The sume paper .mentions lour negroes who were shot after tho jiot was at an end. The font states that "some t the arrested were, alter being taken into cus tody, beaten nearly to a jelly. We saw one with 3iis hrad covered with gashes, bruises, and blood, discharged from the Station House, there being 310 ground of complaint against him." Dillicult as it is to get at the facts, there is no difliculty in understanding the spirit with which the whites ol Memphis discuss this event. The papers make hane to proclaim it a "war of xaccs," and the Avalanche begins its leading article in this style: "Tho bloody appetite of tho radicals, in and out of Congress, has begun in earnest its terrib e satia tion, the reports lrom all parts of the coun'ry have indicated, lor some time, that radical fionJistmess was mauleine a partial satisfaction; but not until yesterday afternoon did tho people of Momphs be come lullv aware ot the terrible consequeuooj which the radicals have entailed upon tho country, or of the fearful volcano upon wluoH thev have been o lone sleeping. Xhe luea Inculcated into iho B ugglsh intellect of the neirro, that his new ooudition aocords Jiim superiority over the white man in all the pur suits ot civil and political life, has at last culminated in the active belief that the civil laws ot the land are to be overridden with tiigi)-uandod outrage, in virtue, ionooth, of his dusky, swarthy color " Aud by way of keepincr the peace for the futuie, the same paper, with tho same attbeta tion tnat marked the Rebel papers in New York duvine the July riots of 1 803, thus encourages the murderous spirit of its friende : "Tho present state of the public mind, excited as It is by the faot that the whito officers of tho law have been tired upon by nerroes, who but to-day have expired their service as Federal soldiers, and dolled their authority to begin an unlicensed loray upon law aud order, bids us, in the interest of tho public peace, to postpone, to a more calm occasion, any further observations which the outi&no naturally supireeta. "Wo would at this time, unon belialf of the unfor tunate class, who, by tho machination aud teach in? ot desirnii.it wluto men. nave been brought to Ibis condition of turLulont, violent, and bloody opposition to the civil law, ask our fellow-citizens to retralu from any exercise ot justifiable vloluuoo upon them." This invitation to bloodshed was but sparingly accepted; the troops, we suppose, being nume rous enough tj keep order on the foliowiug tiaj s. United States Consolidated Debt From the Timet. The purpose of consolidating, at the earliest practicable period the entire public debt, which now bears a funded or fundable shape, meets a hearty response from nearly all quar ters. Tho proposition of gradually turning the entire two thousand millions Into a uniform tivo per cf tit. stock is generally accepted, though not yet, ptrhaps, universally so. The excep tions are not found at Washington, so far as the main purpose Is concerned that ot cheapening the burden ot Interest and rendering as nearly uniform as possible the tenor of the public debt ot the United Mates, that it ma'y bo the earlier extinguished for we h&ve reason to believe that both Houses of and all parties in Congress, as well as the Kxecutlve, win unite to place the measure within the grasp ot a practical admin istration of the national finances. The objections thus lar made through the ?iress reler mainly to some 0f the de ails of the bill prepared at th Treasury and moved last week by Mr. Sherman iu the (Senate. Only one of our city contemporaries lias ventured to call this five per cent, bieasure Utopian, on the authority of Wall street, and this, we presume, wan naid on a some h'ut ex clusive rather than general consultation of opinion, though it is fresh in the public recol lection that (something ot tho same sort was pre dicted In that quarter agalnBt popularizing the original Five-twenty loan. It could not be done, thought and said a certain portion of Wall street. Only $'J5,O(0.0()0 out of live hundred millions had been taken up all over the country, unso licited, by the conversion of greenbacks, when he good work was entered upon by the subscrip TIIE DATL tion agent of the Treasury. Onlv one ovorture had been mode lrom "Wall street" to Secretary Chase for the purchase of Flve-twantloa of 1802. and that for barely $50,01)0,000, or one-tenth the grand total, at a discount ot ten per Ctint. In greenbacks, or ninety cents on the dollar. Yet the loan was subsequently pooiilarlzcd ard distributed to the last dollar, at its face value, in the very midst of the exig5uelos and defeats, as well as victories of tne war. And white we may add that smnewliat similar oppo sition or grave doubts were expressol li: the same quarter, about the close of tho war, of the 730 per cent, popular loans, altogether to the vast.sum of $H30,000,000, we are quite sure that our neiehbor asumew too niu?h in quoting the revival of this "Wall street" lectins: on the pre sent occasion. On the contrary, we bsiieve that throtiph the medium ol the New STork market, a very larire conversion of the other securities of the United Slates will be made into the consoli dated five per cent, stock of the United States as soon as it is authorized and made ready for distribution on the terras indicated by the bill now belore Congress. Lord John Rnscll and Our rnfrtnt Terrible-" Why Should We Not be Friends?" From the Herald. Lord John Russell Is a man of excellent senti mentslike "Joseph Surface." He is aHo an eminently respectable man; so very resoect- able, that it would not at all do, it would be a kind of social outrage, to suppose that he could be guilty of any act of questionable morality, fie has assured us frequently of his high regard. He has told us how much he admired our f-piut, and paid us the highest ot all the re spectable compliments iu declaring that we were second onlv to Encland herself tn iho possession of all admirable qualities. His sen timents were so beautiful and his respecta bility eo positive, that it would have been the basest tnirratitudo in us not to fenl lim splenJld a thing it was to have secured his re copnitiot;. We felt It accordingly. How could we have hart the moral courasre to intimate that he micht not be sincere ? We so votin? and no so respectable. It is true that we kue all tho time he had done things not consistent with his professed admiration and amity. We hud n thousand good evidences that ho hated us with bitter intuusitv. ISut wo were so overnnivornrl by his respectability, so oppressed by the gra cious condescension ot his sentiments, that ' we never had the heart to speak out plainly aud call him to account, and so we went on iu the convintioial way, and throuerii Mr. Sewari, who does propriety on our part, we answered Lord Russell's polite palaver with nulavi-r equally polite, and assured him. in the true society style, ol our distinguished rousidoraiion. Hut there is a character not to be controlled by the ordinary tisanes ol society, not crushed bv the dignity of others, never put down by any reflections on its own significance. This is the enfant timble. It is a creature that is the horror ot all good society on account of the simple truths it blurts out. No solemn sham is sate aeaiust its childlike sinmlicitv. It ml the splendid lady of fashion it those are her new teetu, ana what she has done with t.ln ugly ones she had last vear and to ileas tWn her hair oil to show how easy she can rln ir. It tells the eletrant Iod that the coat he lias ii now is prettier than the blue one with patches on the elbows that he had on last time, nnd so on, exposing with innocent unconsciousness all the admirably arranged cheats of the respectable ieipie. We have in our American family a good speci men of thi character named. Uaucroi t. One day we had a party, and anions those invited wer'o some particular friends of the eminently respect able man ol beautiful sentiments, Earl Russell. And it happened that tho enfant trmh i lot. nut in the presence of these persons all our private family opinions of the great Earl. It was terri ble. All our tiieside expressions were absolutely laid bare to the world hv this indiscreet lntlo gabbler, and the Earl, who had supposed that our polite exores.-ions were sincere, learned that we really saw throutrh all his nhams nnd n.t.. all hud the audaciiy to canvass his hypocrisy. We were awfully ashamed It made such' a t'uss. Hut this, bad as it was. was not the worst nf it The exposures of un enfant terrible are uncom- lortaoie euougn, aud. people generally show their common sense by refusing to bes.r'whut is faia. it win commonly De noticed tnat when an enfant terrible has hit upon any particularly awkward point, ever) body is lookimr out of the window or loft in MDturoiis admiration of a Domenichino, or doubled up over a torso in the corner, so that you can hardly attract their at tention. This is polite, and the injured indivi dual may suppose that no one has heard what was said. Imagine any one stupid enough to answer the enfant terrible, or instituting an ar gument on the topic to correct false impressions! This is itist what Lord RuppcII has done. He has written to pater familias that the enfant terrible must be hauled over the coals; tfat such a prattler must not bo permitted to throw suspicion on the good intentions of so respectable a person. His letter to Mr. Adams is a model for all future personages who, scanda lized by uncomfortable truths, may deem it ex pedient to write to the guardians or other per sons supposed to ue responsible tor the offending infant. The enfant terrib'e, however, had found a let ter somewhere, aud no sooner does he hear of RubucU's demand that he should be laid across the paternal knee, than, presto, he produces this letter. Brought to the point, be gives clear, distinct, deliberate, unquestionable proof of his original declaration that Russell had "made haste to send word through all the palaces of r-urope tnat tne great republic was in it3 airony; that a headstone was all that remained due by the law of nations." His argument will immensely deepen the impression made by his original utterance. He discloses, also, a curious lactnamcly, that he had told the British Min- : ister not to come to the House of Representa tives on the day in nuestion. He Informed him twice that he would hear unpleasant thiues iiu uiiu whit muv away: out tne bout linton wouldn't do it. Ho would have his feelings hurt. He was resolved and determined to endure the hard tiling?, and went lust where he knew they would reach him. The letters of Russell to Adams about Bancroll and of Bancroft to Adams about Russell, with the ac companying papers, are richly worth perusal. there is one very remarkable point in Rus sell's exculpation of himself, as hue a piece of British cant as we have ever seen. Unable to answer the arguments of his complicity in the Eufrlish scheme against us, he threw himself buck on the general principles ot philanthropy. He quotes from the Declaration ot Independence the w ords of the fathers that Englishmen should be to us as the rest ot mankind, "euotnies in war. iu peace friends." And upon this he echoes, "Why should we not be friends as the great men ot the American Revolution intended us to be?" Can anything of lofty impudence surpass this? Why should we not be friends? sajs this high priest of cant. Why aro you always remembering and throwlug up to nie tho uucomlortable things 1 have done? Why don't you let me love vou? Why should we not be friends ? Why ? lie sent out the Ala bama armed with British cannon, shielded In British ports, to burn hundreds of American ships; but why should we not be friends? Ho did the same with tho tea Kinq, and when she came home acain ho set her red-handed pirates free, as if they had done something praise worthy. And why should we uot befriends? He thought It was all right that men should cross lrom Canada to burn our villages and attempt to bum our great cities right that the British authorities should support them and set them at large when brought into court. Why should we not be friends? Can anybody possi bly find any reason why we should not bo iriends, and why the American people should not love and admire Lord Russell tust as much as Lord Russell does the American people? The Present Attitude 'ol Nations. From the Daily A'ewt. The news from Europe, brought by the steamer Peruvian, and which we published yesterday, will be lound to be yery Interesting. Tho German question, which has distracted the Continent tor he lut month, seems to have taken an en EVENING TELEGRAPH. tirely new turn, and a serious cause of rupture between sorely bndgeied Austria and uot-to-be put-oll Prtibsia is brought about through tho anomalous attitude of Italy. The proposal of AUFtna to Prussia, ihut there rhould b'1 a simul taneous disarming of the forces of the two pocr, has had it natural sequence tn atio'.liur demand lrom Prussia. While Ilerr Itismark was w 11 tin g to accede to the nmt ml abandonment ol military preparations, he was not willing that hi dilcat partner iu the little dillicnltT should be left in the lutch. Italy, hereto! jro conuci ted with the Ausiro l'riisMan squabble by it-port h etly, now, by Prussia's interest In tlie attitndo of Austna towards her, s anils con-te-sed an ally ol tlie former. Tno nnnurontly pin noseless concentration ol troops on her part ui Bologna, aud her naval preparations, now take the shape of pans ol a grand plan, wherein, in i he combined war wh ch she and Piussiu con templated agaiust Austria, the fossunsuoii of Veuctia wuid be insured to the Italian Crown, Ht the same time that her all acquired the Ducbicp ol Schlepwig and Hol-tein. This unfolding tbi- compact between the allies cannot fail to have a marked effect upon other powers, witnesses of the quarrel. Prussia's tena city in holding her antaconi.-t to a military ac count at all hazards, nnd her evident intention to lorce the differences between her and Austiin to the test of the sword, will serve grea'ly to array the public opinion of Europe, at preseut almost unanimous in lieiMiuciation of her course, aBhini-t her. Europe will ser, in her persistent refusal to re establish a peaceful order of things without continued concessions from her adver sary, a settled purpose ot war a calamity which, just now, would not at all be satisfactory to her neighbors. How lar, in the singular complications that seem to follow upon every progressive stivjo of this vexatious Schle&wig-Holsteiii que.st.on, this opposition to her course would militate against ui-j uau operuie in iavor oi Austria, does not appear, li the traditional policy ol Europe be consulted, it would doubtless tue the shape ot a piotest trcra the outside powers agaur-t a com bination which palpably has lor its result tho spoliation ot one ot the gieu balancing powers ol the European political system. However much France, for instance, might wish to see Aut-tria humbled, it is not prol able that she would quickly accede to a game of spoliation thnt, under thr circumstances, might well be brought to bear upon herself. The rumors which have obtained in the matter of the agreement between the French Emperor and the Prussian Government, touching the Rfnne Ironti-rs, and which have committed trance to a ncuuality in the case of war de clined, against Austria, have doubtless been greatly exaggerated or are entirely erroneous. The serious precedent involved in so wholesale a procedure us an armed combination to deprive Austria ot her possessions unless, indeed, some reasonable pretext, which in this quanvl Italy lias no, were brought forward would, of itselt, be sulfcieiit to induce a cotin'er comoiuntion to jireent the consummation of the military rob bii.y. '1 tint France docs not cou'emplate engaging in any war growing out ot tho threatening Ar.stio-PrusMHii question, is clearly shown iu l.ons Napoleon's warning to his former ally, Victor Einauuel, thai he must not expect any counienaiice irotn him iu case of hostilities between Italy nnd Austria. However just may be the claim of Italy upon Veuetia, in conside ration cf thereciproeity ol scnt nieut. uati jnulity and language between the Uo, there is vet no justice in a war waged merely to secure the possession ot this province. To acknowledge that there were, would be to open tne door to an arch , usurpation, and general rapine. Under that dispensation, old cain-cs ot quarrel would be revived, dynasties would bo overturned, and general contusion would prevail. Hence in order to preserve this lomidalion stone ol 'tne European system unimpaired, bus Louis Napo leon, contrary to the tenor of ruiuired in tended nction on h s part been compellut to range himsel, in a manner, against that cause whii h be has been supposed to tnvor, and to give the weight of his iinplwdsympathies to Austria. Of all the incomprcbens'ble and unforeseen re sults of the agitation ot this unending and war begetting Schleswig-Holstein business, iho most untomeeu, truly, is that which, nccording.toour lateot advices, places Austria ut dagger's point with Italy, and Prussia cliauiDiouiug the latter against her next-door neighbor. Much of the troublous times now, between Austria and Italy, has artnen from the rash and impetuous charac ter of King Victor Emanuel. That ruler, Intent upon the possession of Veuetia. and more prone io settle differences with the sword than by tame arbitration of diplomatic passages at arms, has, be.vona question, placed him.seli as deep in the mud as Prussia is iu the mire in the quarrel with Austria. Therefore, when Ilerr Bistnark answers, uthrmatively, to Austria's proposition, lookine to the simultaneous abandonment of hostile preparations, he must, befrre tho en tmtecordiaiecRn be fully re-established, set to work to pull King Victor Emanuel out of the slough into which that adventurous monarch so thoughtlessly plui ged. His method ot doing th s, however, is but ndding another slur to tuose already put upon Aus'ria. Whereas that power could afford to acknowledge Prussia's light to demand explanations, of conduct that touched her individual interests, it is question able whether ahp will as readily concede the ex istence of her right to interfere in the unex pected ditliculty with Itulv. It is at least cre ditable to Bismark, however (presuming, what is not probable, that he does seek peace), that iu setilmg up matters with Austria, ho did not leave hi ully in the lurch. So tar from the certainty of quiet being ac quired by the turn of atlairs brought ta our know ledge by the arrival of the Peruvian, we are inclined to believe that with an affected solution of the question of the hour in favor of pence, bus come, in reality, the most critical moment in the whole muddled controversy. Italy, the political mole that has been craftily burrowing for some weeks past, having now come to the surlace, we may expect a final arrangement of the whole matter. If Austria yield to Bhmork further than she has doe, sho loses prestige greatly. If she rei-t his con tinued demands, and requires satisfactory ex planations from Italy of her conduct, then she must expect the onus of war to be thrown upon her by Prussia, and make her arrangements ac cordingly. That is our reading of the present attitude of Austria. Usurpation ol the Executive Power by Congress. From the World. UTo depose the President would be a less fla grant offense against the Constitution than to deprive him oi his authority. If he were de posed, there would be an immediate necessity (there being no Vice-President) for a ne Presi dential election; and the incoming President would, during the unexpired part of Mr. John son's term, be clothed with all the legitimate authority which belongs to the oflice. Not daring to attempt so bold a step as deposing the President, this revolutionary Rump Congress are seeking to divest him of the executive power by nullifying that partot the Constitution which invests him with it. A bill has already passed the Senate, which, by forbidding the payment, aims to prevent the appointment of oilicers to till vacancies caused by removal during tho re cess ot the Senate. The authorirv to make such appointments is us explicitly conferred on the President as is any power, on any branch of the Government, In any part of the Constitu tion. The authority Is given in these words: The Trcsidont (hall have power to fill up all va cancies that may hapnen during the rocoss of the (senate, by granting commissions which shall expire St the end ot their next session " To lorbld th payment out of the Treasury of any compensation to oilicers so commissioned is to annul one part of the Constitution by an abuse of power conferred by another. Con gress has complete power over the expenditure of money; but can it, therefore, alter the salary of the President, or diminish those of tho Judges ? It is a gross abuse of the power to so use it as io deleat the operation of any part of the Constitution. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, The Tribune is venturesome enough to attempt an argumentative defense of thU revolutionary attempt to depo-tc the President irom the func tions, while leaving him the empty title, of his oflice. That (ournal makes a Curious and char acteristic exhibition of its prunenessto make n tumble ot clearly marked distinctions. We do not expect to cure It of its chronic contusion of thought; but Its want of discrimination affords u an occasion to place in a clear light a s ibieet which has become important. The Tribune quotes (Inadvertently misquotes) a part of tlie sect ii n ol the second article which relates to ap pointments to oflice, and makes this comment: "Here it i seen that the advice at well as con fei.t ot the Senate is made essential. Suv what we may ol Its wisdom or fitness, this is the para mount law of the land." By the emphasis the Tribune lays on the word "advice," we suppote it means to contend Hint tr.c Senate has a right to be consulted on ap pointments before they are make. Advice, .'rom very meaning of the word, precedes the the action to which it relates. But if the 'Jribune locates the "advice" which the Senate is entitled to give previous to tlie apnoln ment, will it tell us where, in point of time, it would place the "consent?'' If they ar both one uc', and tendered at one time, what does the Tribune mean by the sharp line of discrimination it draws between them? Advice mrmt be given belore the act, or it is not advice; consent may be given a ter it: but if, its the Tribune seems to contend, both advice and consent are essential to the validity of every appointment, will it point out In what measure tho Semite has ev.ir acted, or ever can act, so as to meet both parts of the constitutional requirement, and iustity the emphasis w th w hich the cruic discriminates ot,e Horn the other ? The question which the Tribune's d scrniiiiaclon thus contuses, we will di'eiitangle and cliirrlate. We must first cite the-e constitutional provisions: "1 lis 1 resident shall nominate, and by and with tho Bdvico and consent of thu tSenato shall appoint, ainbarsi dors, other public, ministers, and consuls, Judifcs ol tho Miprcme Court, and ad other oilicers ol the United Htatis wh.so appointment aro not heroin oihoiwise provided for, and wjiioti shall be eetal lislied b law " Ar. II, Stc 2 "Ho shall take caro that the law lie taittifu y exe cut d, aid shah commission all the ofticors ot tho United States." Art. IIScc. 8, It will be seen that in appointments to office miner the Government, the Constitution marks three distinct step or ttis'es, viz.: 1. The nomination, which is vested solely in the President. 2. The appointment, which tilso belongs to tho President, but requires the concurrence ot the Senate. 3. The commitsion, which if the President's sole act. 'lhe initial and tlie linal step in every appoint ment being thus given to the President, the Con stitution guards lum completely against the necessity ot tolciating in office 'any person he does not Bpprove. II we inquire at what stage o this triple process nn appointment becomes oon.piete, we shall easily test tho propriety of I it c word -advice," as appbed to the purticipa ' tion ol the Senate, it is too obvious for remark that the nomination docs not complete the ap pointment. Does the action of tlie Seuat-? Lntess the word "advice" (we thank the 'lri bvnc) is unmeaning, or means something wholly inconsistent w.th usiige, the appointment stifl remains to be made by the President after the Senate have acteu ou the nomi nation. If they advise the appointment, the President has then power to make it. and to commission the officer. Ihc fiction ot tlie Senate being in the iiaturj ot advice necessarily precedes ilie appointment, which the Preeldent is then free to make or not as be choo, es. When vacancies occur in the recess of tne Senate, the Constitution provides tor filling Them by dispensing with the first two of the three ordinary steps, and authorizing the Presi dent to grant temporary commissions. It is, accordingly, evident that the only way tho Senate can constitutionally have a voice in every appointment made during the whole t.velvo months, is to remain in perpetual session. But w hatever may be the degree of participa tion to which the Senate may be entitled, nothing could be more evidently absurd than the pretension of Congress (consisting of the two Houses) to hold tho appointing power ol the President in check, as Is proposed by the bill now pending. So fur as the Pi evident does not possess the whole appointing power, he shares it with the Seuate. whose power of say ing that the.v consider A. B. or C. D. unfit lor this or that oflice, is a ve v afferent thing from a check on the appointing po-cr of the Presi dent by the joint action of both brauches of Coneres9. V hatever restraint there mav be on the choice ot the President, it is lodged solely in the Senate. The present scheme lor usurping the executive powet by Congies. is one of the most revolu tionary and dangerous thi n"fl ever ntrnmntrtrl It bus its bfrth, as the Iribune itself con lessee, in party fears lest the President should remove the radicals w ho oppose his policy. But if all the President's subordinates may defy him, and act as they please, then thev, not he, possess the executive power, though tho Constitution be stows it all on him. He might as well be out of oflice as to have no control over his subordi nates, since he would be no more powerless ia the one case than in the other. SPECIAL NQTiCES. Zj TIIE GREAT NATIONAL FAIR.
