MONDAY, JANCAKY 14. 1S67. Jtiecutive Usurpation ol the Appointing Power. In the Senate recently, the bill regulating appointments to office being under considera tion, Senator Keverdy Johnson, ol Maryland, said he was iroe to give the opinion that the practice of reappointing men rejected by the SeDate was in conjllct with the spirit of the Constitution. He bad expressed this opinion once ao Attorney-General. In his judgment, such a practice was at war with the spirit of the Constitution, because it enabled the Pre sident to take from the Senate all itspoicer and responsibility in the mitter of appoint ments. 'With regard to the resident's power ofremoval.it had not been seriously ques tioned since the first session of Congress, when It was settled, by a majority of one, that he had that power. Madison held that the power of removal might be so abused a to render a President liable to impeach ment, but since that time the practice had been upon a different belief. It Is difficult to see how any other opinion than the one here expressed by Senator Johnson could ever have obtained currency. That the opposite opinion has not only ob tained currency, but has been made the prac tical rule of action, Is a significant illustra tion of the fatal tendency of our Government towards Executive usurpation and supremacy. The language of the Constitution is so clear that it admits of no doubtful construrtion. Enumerating the powers of the President, it says: ' He shall nominate, and by and with the adctce and consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of th Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States whose appointments are not otherwise pro vided for, and which shall be established by law; but the Congress may, by law, vest tie appointment of such Inferior officers as they see fit in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments." No man can doubt, or ever has doubted, that the intention of this clause of the Con stitution is to require the advice and consent of the Senate to the appointment of every officer of the United States, except those whose appointment is otherwise provided for by law. Yet in the face of this clear and express provision of the Constitution, Pre sident Johnson keeps persons in office who have not only never been confirmed by the Senate, but who have been rejected by it. A. more plain and palpable violation of the Con stitution it would be impossible to conceive , of. Nor is it easy to imazine one more dan gerous. When the C nstitution was adopted the nation numbered but about three mil lions ; now we have more than thirty. Then the officers of the United States were few in number; now their name is legion. Then our annual receipts and expenditures were but a mere trifle; now they are hundreds of millions. Yet even at thac time, when oar population was so small, the number of officers so few, and their functions so insignificant, it was deemed dangerous to intrust the appointing power to the Presi dent alone, and it was vcted in the Presi dent and Senate conjointly. Now, when the Federal officers have become an army, spread ing all over the country, handling untold millions of money, and penetrating with their researches to the details of private business and the arrangements of a man's household, the Senate is openly Ignored, and the Presi dent tramples the Constitution under his feet, and wields this vast appointing power practi cally unchecked. lie goes through the empty form of sending a name in for confirmation, but if the Senate refuses its advice and con sent, the appointment is made in defiance of that body, and the man holds the office and J draws the salary attached to it. Hundreds ol such cases now exist all over the country. Well may such a gross and flagrant abuse of power rouse even the sluggish conscience ol such a conservative as Reverdy Johnson. We trust Congress will make thorough work of this matter. The constitutional power of the Senate should be maintained to its fullest extent. What with veto after veto of every Important bill passed by Congress, the usurpation of legislative powers In the assumed creation of State Governments under laws passed by the flat of the Execu tive, and the usurpation of the appointing power in defiance of the Senate, there will soon be no occasion for Mr. Seward's alterna tive question, "Wheth 5 we will have Mr. Johnson lor President or for King?" Documents for All Kinds of Theoties. Oub Democratic contemporary quotes with great gusto an old article from the Nashville Timesand Union, which it says was written by Andrew Johnson in December, 1801. Suppose It should extend its quotations to the speed es made by the same ''humble indi vidual" to the colored people, of Nashville, and also to the committee that announced to him his nomination to the Vice-Presidency, as 'Well as to the various delegations that waited upon him Immediately after his acces sion to the Presidency. Taking Mr. John eon's speeches, proclamations, addresses, and cta, from 1861 down to the present time, there la hardly a theory, from the most vio lently and vindictively radical to the most obstinately and unreasonlngly conservative, that mlRht not be legitimately deduced from SemT He ta "swung around tUe circle" coDDpleUly. T1e Growth ol lHi4ontl. Titb condition of Missouri under a Repub lican administration has ben the standing theme of deprecation and denunciation by Democratic Journals. One would have sup posed, to read their articles, that the people of Missouri were ground to the earth under the most terrible despotism, and that her social and business Interests were at the lowest ebb. In the faoe of all tbls, however, Missouri State bonds have gone up from seventy-five cents to nearly par, showing that capitalists have confidence In the State, If Democratic politicians have not. At the same time, despite the terrible oppression under which the people of the State are represented to be groaning, we behold a constant and magnifi cent stream of emigration pouring into her tenltory, and the value of the taxable wealth of the Mate increasing from $198,002,210 la 1803 to 10(),000.()00 In 1808, and her credit placed upon a sound and enduring basis. The truth is, Missouri has been revolution ized, and, Instead of the old conservative, pro slavery fossils who used to bear sway there, a set of bold, progressive loyal men have obtained power, and are not afraid to use it for the good of the State. The old regime died hard, but Its day has gone by. '1 he splendid resources of the State being developed, a loyal emigration Is adding daily to her numbers, and she Is taking a front rank nuiong the Commonwealths of the republic. These are facts to put by the side of the theories of our Democratic journals. A Non Scquitur. The conseivatives are lamous for drawing startling conclusions from exceedingly in adequate premises. Thus our Democtatic contemporary asserts that the "political and legal status!" of the communities inhabiting the late Rebel States has been ''determined in an irreversible manner," because the Supreme Court, In December, 1805. ordered the causes brought before it by writs of error from the District Courts for tlie several Dis tricts within those States to be called and disposed of In regular order at Us next term. But this settles nothing one way or the other. It does not determine that President John son has the right to overthrow one set of State Governments and c.eate another, and until that question is settled, neither the political nor legal status of the late Itebel communities will be determined. The power and authority ol the United States Government, in all its departments, Legisla tive, Executive, and Judicial, over these com munities 'is supreme, whatever their stall's may be . Take off mt, Taxks. We are glad to see that the almost universal expression of public sentiment Is in favor of a sweeping reduction of our internal taxes, especially those upon manufactures. Ihcre is no doubt that the measure is essential to the prosperity of the country. The present rate of taxation is so high as to seriously intenere with pro duction, and if persisted in, must defeat its own ends by diminishing business and pros trating the industry ot the country. With the exception of liquors and similar articles of luxury, manufactures should be relieved irom all internal duties. t m Southern Stay Laws Nearly all the so-called Southern Legislatures have passed "stay laws," designed to arrest the collection ol debts, delay executions, and prevent the enforcement of deeds of trust. In Virginia, Judge Meredith, of the Circuit Court, has just decided all such laws to be unconstitu tional. The Richmond papers s;eak of the decision as an exceedingly able one, and likely to be sustained by the higher courts. SPECIAL NOTICES. DK.
