THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAFII. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MAY 28, I860. THE MEW YOKK PRESS. UllCRlAL 'OPINIONS OF LhADING dOVRNAL8 HON CURRKNTIOFWS. covpuiD ivrr.T pat fob wbmko TRLFonAPii, Executire Tower. Fr: m the Tribune. The tendency of the present diseiimion upon tli" limitations of executives power (rocs to pIiot that in roanj r?snects H tfl tin open question. In the early history of the country, it was con tended by leadini? statesmen that the power of removal and Appointment was jointly held by the Senate and the Executive, just as the treaty mnklrg power Is now held. In those days, however, our national politic had not been degraded to the base U'Tb of making Oovcrnnieit sci vice the reward of political gubsorvlency. It was reserved lor President Jackson to give the Constitution a violent lnterpictntion to assume that his personal will should govern every ofll cial selection; that men who had served tb nation faithfully, who bore the scars of honor abln battle, should be dismissed from the nat onal pervtce beoaase they did no share his opinions about the- honestv of Mcholiia Diddle, or tbe virtue of Mrs. Timborlake. The Demo erotic domination was too eiart to accept the imperioos will of this resolute man at an element ot political atrennih to recognize as an axiom the debasing teutimtnt nat "to the victors bi long the spoils." The abuse has been tole rated, partlv because the power has never until now seriously menaced the Union, anl partly because it was a pleasant abuse in the hanrls of power. Power never wishes to tie its hands nor to invent restriction". Now, however, when we are reconstructing the Union, and remodelling the essential con ditions of government, it is proper to look luto this question ot Executive appointment. Presi dent Johnson exoresaes trretu svmpithy with precedents so tar as they control his enemies, and equal sympathy with tew interpretations when they answer his own vipws. He has made the Presidency a "Tribune," and finds warrant for exercitlnjr tribunitial powers. It is, per haps, a tribunitial exeicise ot po wer to remove men irom otiice who do no'- indorse certain views upon reconstruction, and to strengthen tte hands ot the enemies of toncress uy con sulting their w. flies in disposing of revenue auu diplomatic appointments. President Jackson thought so. President Jackson was good authority on Indian aud miliary ma'tors. In a question of constitutional law we prefer other statesmen. The Constitution declares that the "President shall have power to till up all vacancies that mav happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end ot their next session." Murk the words "may happen!" The Constitution here speci fies the only case in whieh the President may exercise the absolute power ot appointment. In plum word9, if the President bel'eves thut an oflicer is incompetent or dishonest, he can noiii nate a successor and submit to tUe Senate such nomination, in order that he mav have their "advice" upon the incumbent's unfitness, aud thttr "con&cut" to a change. This Pena'orial limitation waethe thoueht of Alexander Hamil ton. In Hamilton's first proposition of a Con stitution, submitted to ihe Convention on the 18th of June, are these words: "To have tbe appointment ot the hcaas or chief officers ot the departments of finance, war, anl foreign all airs to have the nomination of all other offi cers (ambassadors to foreign nations included) subject to the aporobatlon or rejection ot the Senate." This provision was modified, In his full plan of a constitution, to read: "He shall have the ap pointment ot the principal or chief officer of each oi the department ot war, naval art airs, finance and fore en affairs, and shall have the nomination, and bj and with the cousent of the Senate, the appointment of all other officers to be appointed ULder the authority of the United States, except such for whom different provision is made by this Constitution; and provided, that this shall not DO construed to prevent the Legis lature trom appamtine by name, in t.telr laws, persons to special and particulars trusts created in such laws; nor shall be construed to prevent principals in offices merely ministerial from con stituting deputies. In the recess of the Senate, he may fill vacancies tn offices by appointments, to continue in force until the end ot the next eoBJion of the Senate; and he shall commission all olliccrs." The committee (Mr. Hamilton, a conspicuous member) digestea this plan into the second section of the second article: "ILe President shall have power to 11 1 up all vacancies that may happen dunuir tb recess ot the filiate, by grunting commissions, which suall expire 8i the end f their next session." Hamilton delended his doctrine of Senatorial advice elaborately, showing the good tnat would come trom the "eo-o Deration oi the Senate in the business of appointments," and contending "that it would contribute to the stability of the Administration." " The consent of that body " ho add j (and our readers will observe the emphasis), 'wowtci be necessary to t)isilace as welt as It ap point. A change ot the Cuiet Magistrate, there lore, would not occasion so violent nor so gene ral a revolution in the officers of the Government as might be expected it he were the solo dis poser of offices." This doctrine, that the con sent of the Senate is necessary to "displace as as well as to appoint," was admitted in tie early tiii.es. Hamilton was not given to euphemistic Sbrascs, aud his meaning was plain. When Mr. ladiHon asser ed the modern interpretation in 1781), he was assailed. "What," said a Virginia member, "what, suthonze in a free republic, by law, too, by your first act, the existence of a dangerous roval prerojative in your Chief Magistrate! When houor and virtue ought to be the support of your (Jovern ment, will jou infuse and iheri-h meauness and servility in jour citizous, and Insolence and arbitrary power in your Chief Magistrate? Does increasing the power and multiplying the de pendants of the President diminish his re pons I bility?" The Senate ruled otherwise by th casting vote of Mr. Adams, who always tavored a strong Government. Mr. Hamilton accepted the lact that Uis construction had boon rejected b the Legislature, and that "it was settled In piactice that the power ot displacing belonsrs exclusively to the President." He never, how ever, changed his owu construction of the arti cle Ten years later, diirin? his Presidency, the elder Adams wrote thus to the Secretary of War: It is not upon the act ot the 3d of March ultimo, thai I erouud the claim ot uu auihor.ty to appoint tb officers in quo-tiou, but unou tne Constitution iwell. Whenever there Is an onlce that is not lull, there Is a vacancy, as I have ever understood the Coi stitution." Genpral Hamilton was consulted by the Secre tary, and replied: ' After mature reflection on the sul jeot of vour letter of the 28'h of last inoutb, 1 am clearly of opinion that ttie President ban no power to make aloLe tbe ai poiutiueut of otlicers to the battalion which is to be auded to the Second Kogim nt of Artillerists aud Engineers. Jnmvmimou, vacanoy is a relative term, aud presupposes that tbe ollioe lias been once tilled, li so, the power to li 1 a vacancy it not tho power to makn an original ap pointment, l'tao terms 'that may liapuon' nerve to co u arm this construction, l'bey imply ca-nalty, ani denote such offices a having once been tilled, have become vacant by accidental circuins ancei. This at leant, la tbe most familiar and obvious sense; and in a matter of this kind it could nut tin ailvmaole to ex roue a dotbtt il authority. It is clear that, independent ot the authority ot a special law, the President cannot till a vacancy which happens during a session of the Henato." The President yielded, and a special law was passed. Having thus shown the spirit of the constitu tional article on Executive appointments, we think it wixe to return to that spirit and reverse the early decree of the Senate on the question ot removal a decree which ban in. these latter years produced pernicious results. Tin c in struction of Mr. Adams was not inteufed to arrogate to the Presidential office a roval prero gutive. Presidents iu that time telt that their powers were for the general wePsre, not for tho creation of political compacts. "What," said Jellcrson, "remove my old friend became- he oprr.pcs me and admits Pnrrt I would rather divide mv lost hoe-cake with him." Men should not be placed in otiice as favor but to do tftice wont to labor tor their dully breid. Competency and taithfulnesi are tbe only essen tials. Opinion :i politics should be or as lit:le moment as opinion in relUion. Is the War to lie Renewed? Change In tha JJoMs ol Kepieuentatiou. Frtm the Timet. Mr. Robert Dale Owen, In a letter reoeiiily published, declared that "the North would renew the war to-morrow," rat hor than endure the inequality of representation in proportion to voters which the Cons'itutin now gives the Southern States in consequonce of tho destruc tion of slavery. He reaffirms this opinion in a reply to our comments upon tills declaration. But wo see nothing In tho leasons by which he supports it to render it even plausible. , Mr. Owen presents this inequality as a case of Intolerable tyranny, which, bethinks, theNotth will resent and resist in foice, uuless It is given up. But Mr. Owen must be aware that It is nothing new. It has existed from the very be ginning of the Government. The Constitution inado population, and not voters, the basis and measure ol representation. This is all there is ot it. It has always been the lundaiucntal law of i ue lann, mat every state snouiu nave represents fives in proportion to Its agirregate population, una not simply In proportion to thoM? of Its people who are permitted to tote. in New York aliens are not allowed to vote, but ihey are counted in deciding the num ber ot representatives to which tno State is entitled.' In Massachusetts, nobody can Vote except those citizens ot the United States who can read and write yet aliens as well as nathes, who can do neither, are counted in the basis of representation, in Illinois aud other Western States, negroes are not allowed tn vote, vet they are counted in fixing the num ber of their representatives. And precisely tho sam thing, and nothing more, is true in South Carolina and in Geoigia. The number of their rcpicBentativcs depends upon their aggregate population, not upon the number of their voters. This is a constitutional provision, applicable to all the Statec alike, and not to the Southern States alone. It has alwajs been so, except that while slavery existed ouly thiee-Hlths ot that part of the population who were slaves were counted in determining tho ba$is of representation this distinction has been abrogated bv the destruc tion ot slavery. But, owini; to the lact that a larcer portion of their populati m are nut voters at the South than nt the North, the South has more representatives tn proportion to voters than the North. But the Constitution never based representation upon voters at all. The number oi voters has never hitherto had unythine what ever to do with the number ot repre-ent-Uivos. That ieature has never jet been enitraiteii uDon Our system ot government. The people adopt d the Constitution without it, and Congress hits tievcr yet even proposed that it should be amended in this particular. ' Now we cite these lucts not as showing thai no amendment is needed but us showing that the North is not likclv to "renew the war" un lets an amendment is now niado tor which ic has never hitherto thoueht it worth while even to ask. Mr. Owen's op'nion on this point seems to us simply absurd. We believe the people of the North desire such an amendment. Tuev would gladly set representation based on voters. instead ot on population, as heietofore; because it would give them a relative increase of power, by diminishing the representation of the Southern States. But the representation which tnose States now enjoy Is distinctly and ex pressly conterred upon Ihem by the Constitu tion. 'They bold it by precisely the same title which gives us our right the same precisely which live to any State' any representation at nil. We would like this changed; but to say that "the North will renew the war" unless it is changed, is to talk nonsense. ' But Mr. 0en says that unless we make this change a condition precedent to any representa tion of the South in Congress, we can never tecure it. Possibly that may be true, but it affords no reason lor "renewing the war." Nor, in our judgment, does it atlord any reason tor exacting til is condition. If we require thai con dition we may require any other; that and it niii ply treating the Southern States as so many conquered provinces, outeide the provisions of the Constitution altogether. We do not hold, we say in reply to Mr. Owen's question, that the war, or the victory, or the cost of battle, has given our Government the right to discard the restrictions which the Constitution imposes upon its power, or to change one of the clearest and most expl cit of its clauses in any other mode than the one pointed out lor its own amendment. Mr. Owen says that by refusing to exact this change as a condition of admission to represen tation in Congress (which he styles a peaceful, constitutional remedy), we make a "renewal of the w ar" on the part ot the North necessiry and probable, and thus peril the public tranquillity. We do not think to. That amendment can be secured in other ways. It can be secured, in our ludpment, if the whole North desires it, by tbe ordinary course of public action. It involves the burrender of a portion of political power on the part of the South, until they ate ready to extend their suffrage. Is not this a case where equivalents may be fairly ottered and accepted? And cannot the North much bettor atlord equiva lentb which shall secure the end, than to seek the same end by a "renewal of tue war?" Cer tainly the resources of statesmanship ousht to be equal to tha solution ot such a problem. Let Mr. Owen turn h's attention to other means than legislative cr.eiciou, or a "renewal of the war," and eee whether he cannot think ot some better scheme lor remedy iner the inequality which h i homewhat exaggerate.'', but of which he justly com plains. Our Fall Elections-Toe Coming Political Revolution From the Herald. The public mind of the, Northern States is ripe fcr a political revolution iu our approaching lall clectlous. The people are ready. Tiiey need only the active organization ot a national Johnson Union movement to bring tbem into line. The enthusiastic Johnson meeting held in Philadelphia on Saturday evening last, and the spirited popular gathering on the same night nud the same pi ut form at Westminster, Mary land, of Hepublicani and Pcmocrats, show ho.v the tide Is drifting. The people are spontane ously falling in with President Johnson's policy, aud they ueed only a little active work in the way of organization to put an end to the fuctious nud impracticable doiugsot the present Con gress iu the elections tor the next. Con cress has been nearly six months in ses sion, and what has it doue iu the way ot South ern reconstruction aud restoration? It has given us the scheme of tho Joint Committee of uteeu which id now betore the Senate a scheme the manifest purpose of which ts the exclusion of the lately rebellious States from the coming Presidential election, and their indefinite exclusion from tbe .wo Houses. This scheme is ingeniously covered up with the lead ing measures ot President Johnson's policy; but the issue remain substantially the eario'. The president's policy is Si 'nheru' restoration to a voice iu the Government: the policy of Con gress is Southern exclusion. This is tho Issue which will be submitted to the people in our approaching September, October, and November elections; and upon this it-sue, we say, the pub lic mind of the Nortu is npeuing for a great political revolutirn. Between the o-called conservative Republi cans and the Democrats in Congress we outrht to have had eie thii the downiall of Thaddeus Stevens. These two opposing tactions, poi-soss-iutr, if combined, a majority against him, have each, to suit their tactious purposes, played into bis nanus. The uemocrau in uongreis are mostly, If not all, ol the Copperhead' trl he, miserable tricksters or desperate revolu'louints, wuubu luetics would disgrace me rowdies ot a New York Democrat'c primary election. The conservatives of the House of Benresentativcs are mere playthings in the hunds of Sicvens. He Is amused when they ppeak in mioportof the Administration, tor ha La! tried them, and knows that at the crack or bis whip they will be dumb and submissive. Treacnerous or tem poriz'ng Coppciheads and conservatives nave lew pect. for each other than for Stevens, nnd thus he uses the one faction or the other as occasion may serve him. The radical faction rule Congress because they are united, bold, and agsresslve. Their purposes may bo bad, tneir measures mav bo vicious and revolu tionary; but In tbeir fight they show those qualities of courage, skill, tenacity, and energy which invniiably command respect, and give evtnto a bad cause moro or less of popular strength. i Thus the President has failed in Congress to secure a party caoablo of accomplishing any thing. His professed and noisy adherents have their own axes to grind, their own selfish or paltry party put poses to serve, and they are, like Joseph's coat, of many colors. Hence, against tbe Radicals tho opposition elements of Congress are as powerloss as so many squads of bushwackers against the advances of a regu lar army. Hence the necessity ol a bold ag gressive movement lrom what Stevens calls 'the other end of the avenue." President Johnson must advance his standard, in view of an apiiexl trom Congress to the people. lie can cio this by a reconstruction wf his Cabinet, lrom the Secretary ol State down to the Attorney-General. Let'him try too experiment, and give us a new Cabinet from the lealing heroes of the war soldiers, sailors, and civilians and the Union war party will rally around him and his policy. This Is the way to commence r.n effective organization ot a National Johnson Liiion party, and in view ot a wholesome revo lution in our t II elections. Meantime we would su.gest the propriety aud advautaaes of a John son Union meeting in this metropolis, to strengthen tho President' hands, and to en courage him to take the initiative acainst his tueniii p, not lorcctting the decisive stop ot a complete reorganization ot his Cabluet. Tbe Law ol War. From the Daily News We learn from a city contemporary that Dr. Bluntsehll, a Heidelberg Protesoor, has just pub lished a treatise on the ''Modern Law of War," which is to be translated by Dr. Lleber, nnd is destined possibly to figure largely lo those dis cussions of abstract tights to which wars always give rise. But the experience ot the last four years hns greatly modified our estimate of tho value of treatises upon the rights and duties of beLigeient8. Men are very wiling, in time of peace, to admit that belligerents have certain rights which ought to be respected ; that they owe certain duties to rheir antagonists which they are bound by every obligation ot honor to perform. As long as war is a mere abstract question, a nice respect is cheerfully accorded to the rights oi persons aud property, and the law ot nations seems to be a very beautllul sys tem, bused on the immortal principles of troth and justice, radiaut w.th tiie light ot humanity, and glowing with catholic benevolence. Hue whenai ttiui war sweeps over tho laud, the law ol nations turns out to be nothing out sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal, lis theories are too hue spun lor every day use, and they aro qineti.v put away until there is no further practical use tor them. Tbe intern a licnal a hernials very tine to look at when she has the held to herself; but when Mars, licllona, and the rest of tho amiable crcwiairo their Inoud Carnace oui lor a jaunt ttiroueh the country, poor little Themis runs away, and her apples, like those 1 1 Sodom, turn to dust and ashes. We learn from the preface of Doctor Blunts chii's work that the Articles ot War drawn up by Doctor Licber in 1803, tor the ut-o of the armies oi the United States, loroi at once the basis and the model of tho work. If this code of Dr. Lieber'6 authorizes and iustities tne wholesale plundering of private property, the wanton destruction of crops aud agricultural imple ments, the conflagration-, murders, ana yet daiker deeds of mlamy, the cruelties practised on women and children; in tine, the countle-s atrocities which marked the progress ot Hhei man, titoneman. Milroy, Hunter, and other Generals, Doctor lUiintflchli's book will pro bobly create a eenaatiou In Europe. We surpect, however, that Dr. Lieber's code, which is embalmed in General Order No. loo, pub lished by the War Department in April, 1863, inuBt have been designed rather for show than use; lor the German Doctor bless his innocent heart commences by saying: "Thelaw ot war hns become more humane in the last wars ot Kutopo and America." A little further on, the Doctor, anticipating the possibility of a German war, fervently hopes "th-it the belligerents will follow the example of America." Ala3! for Germany, it they" do ! No I good Doctor, pray rather, it you are a humane man, that tney shall lollow rather the examp'o of the Cossacks. SPECIAL NOTICES. gljgf- PARDEE SCIliMIfiC COURSE LA FA YETTI! COLLEGE.
