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.
