The bill regulating the tenure of civil oflieery appointed with the consent of the Senate, linn become law over the President's Veto. !y this measure the appointing power of the Executive is greatly ciriuniscrihed. It de prives him of the power of removing civil officers whose appointments come before the Senate for confirmation; or rather limits the exercise of the power to cases in which the Senate concur. And in this provision the Cabinet advisers of the President are included. It has been supposed that the veto would binge upon this particular application of the principle, an an infraction of a privilege always accorded to the Kxeentive by reason of the confidential relations in which the Cabinet officers stand. 15ut the message takes excep tion to the whole scope of the bill, as an inva sion of the power of removal which by the usage of the Government has been vested ex clusively in the President. It is admitted, however, that though tlds usage has been sus tained by Ktory and Kent and other eminent interpreters of the Constitution, its, validity lias always virtually rested upon the decision of Congress, speaking through majorities, and lias as constantly been disputed by statesmen of admitted weight. A Constitution which one majority affirmed may, then, be reversed by another majority without wrong; and this is wliat the expiring Congress has done. So far as it imparts a certain permanence to qualified occupants of civii offices, the bill effects a desirable reform. A more satisfac tory measure would lie that of Mr. Jenckes, which would leave the entire civil service of the country out of the slough of politics, and secure au amount of efficiency at present un attainable. l?ut the step now taken is an ad vance, excepting only in its bearing upon the Ca binet; ami in that respect it has the appear ance of being aimed at Mr. Johnson. His Message would have been stronger in argu ment, though perhaps not more effective in Congress, had it applied solely to this point, instead of ranging over a wide ground, where, on bis own showing, Congress has a right to legislate untrammelled by precedent or the dicta of coinmentutois. The General Bankrupt Law, From the Herald. The Thirty-ninth Congress has left behind it one legacy for which the people will be grate ful. The passage of the act to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the United States will afford general satisfaction and prove a valuable boon to the country. While some of the features of the law for its final approval by the Executive may be re garded aa certain may require alteration or amendment, its enactment in an imperfect shape will be universally conceded to be pre. ferable to its defeat. The jurisdiction in bankruptcy cases is given by the act to the several District Courts of the United States, with the United States Circuit Courts acting in a supervisory capacity as Courts of Equity. The Judges of the District Courts will be assisted in the performance of the duties imposed upon them by Registers in bankruptcy, who are required to be counsel lors of those Courts, or of swme of the Courts of Record of their several States. The power of the Registers is limited, and provision is made for reference of disputed questions to the District Court Judges, and for appeals from the District Courts to the Circuit Courts, and from the latter, in cases where the matter in dispute shall exceed two thousand dollars, to the Supreme Court of the United States. There are two kinds of bankruptcy contem plated by the act voluntary and involuntary. In the former any person residing within the jurisdiction of the United States, owing over three hundred dollars, and finding himself in solvent, may apply by petition to the judge of the district in which he has resided for the six months preceding the date of the petition, or for the longest period during such six months, and shall thereupon be declared a bankrupt. The creditors, having been properly notified by the court, meet together and appoint one or more assignees of the estate of the debtor ; the choice to be made by the greater part in value and in number of the creditors who have proved their debts, or in case of failure to agree, then by the District Judge, or where there are no opposing creditors, by the Register. The whole affairs of the bankrupt pass into the bands of the assignees, who have full powers granted them necessary for the collec tion of all debts and the final adjustment and closing up of the estate. Stringent regula tions are made lor the proper deposit and safe keeping of all moneys received from the estate; and where delay is likely to occur from liti gation in the final distribution of the'assets, the Court is empowered to direct their tem porary investment. The bankrupt is liable at all times to be called lip for examination on oath upon all matters relating to the disposal or condition of his property or to his business transactions, and, tor good cause shown, his wife may in like manner be compelled to attend as a witness in the case. In the distribution of the bankrupt's estate dividends are to be paid as agreed upon by a majority in value of the creditors, from time to time, at three months' intervals, but the following claims are first to bo paid in full: First, the fees, costs, and all expenses under the Paukrupt act; second, all debts, taxes, and assessments due to the I'nited States; third, all State debts, taxes, and assessments; fourth, wages due to any operative, clerk, or house servant to an amount not exceeding fifty dol lars for labor performed within six months preceding the bankruptcy; fifth, all debts due to any persons who are or may be entitled to preference by the laws of the United States. The voluntary bankrupt is entitled to his discharge provided no fraud is proved against him. at anv time from sixty days to one year after adjudication ofjbankruptcy; but the proof or discovery of any fraud or concealment de prives him of the richt to discharge. No person who has once received his discharge is to be entitled again to become a voluntary bankrupt, unless his estate is sufficient to pay seventy ver cent, ot Ins debts, or unless uiree fourths of his creditors assent in writing to his bankruptcy. Preferences and fraudulent con veyances are declared void by the act, and suitable provisions are made for the voluntary bankruptcy or partnerships and corporations The exemptions under the law are as fol lows: 'i i, o npcensarv household and kitchen furnl tore, and such other articles and necessaries of 6lll h bUUKrupl an mo umiKiim sunn uomKimiD tai nnurt. having reference lit th nmouiit tc the family, condition, and circuuistauoos of ti.n hmikruDl. out altogether not to exoeod lu value, in any " wenrliiR nprmrol ol such linnkrunt. and Hint, of IiIh wile end children, and llniuniform, nrms, end equipments ol any person who Is or has been n soldier In the m i It lu or In the Horlce ol the United HIhipn; mid Mich other properly bs now Ik or hcreiiiler ahull be exempli from nttnebiiient or seizure or lew on execution tr the. lawn or the Culled Mlutes; nml Riuill other properly, not Included in the fore'roinii excep tions, ns lg exempted I rnm levy and hiiIh upon rxeiullon or oilier process or order ol court, by the laws of t he Suite in wid 'h the bankrupt Ihis bis domicile nt the time of the commencement ol the ptoeeediiii.'N in bimkruptcy, toim amount rot exceedltiu t hnt uleiwed by siten KUito ex em i lion Inwa In force in the year IMil. Acts of involuntary bankruptcy under the law are classified as follows: Departure or absence from tlnj State where debts are owed, with intent to defraud the creditors; conceal ment to avoid service of process for the reco very of debt; concealment of property to avoid Seizure on legal process; assignments designed to delay, defraud, or hinder creditors; arrest and detention for seven days under execution for a debt exceeding one hundred dollars; actual imprisonment for seven days in a civil action founded on contract for one hundred dollars; assignment, gift, confession of judg ment, or any other act by which preference is given to any creditor, endorser, or surety; dishonoring commercial pajier, or suspending and not resuming payment for fourteen days. The petition for an adjudication of bank ruptcy in such cases may come from one ormore creditors whose debts reach two hundred and fifty dollars; but the petition must bo brought within six months after the act of bankruptcy has been committed. In involuntary bank ruptcy the proceedings are made more strin gent than in the other description of cases. The penalty for any fraud or concealment, direct or indirect, under the act, is im prisonment, with or without hard labor, for a term not exceeding three years. There are other details in the act relating to the duties of the officers appointed and authorized under tho law, the amount of fees, etc., which are interesting only as a mat ter of detail. On the whole, tho act seems carefully guarded, and, with very slight amendments, will, no doubt, prove a popular and beneficial law. The Veto The Situation. Prom the World. As a state paper, dealing with a great ques tion on impregnable grounds of argument, nothing could bo more cogent than this noble message. The clear, masculine reasoning by which President Johnson demonstrates the irreconcilable repugnance of the vetoed bill to the Constitution, and by which he shows that the evils it inflicts are the most galling and intolerable which oppression can inflict upon its victims, leaves nothing to be supplied. If he fails to produce conviction, it cannot be for lack of sound argument and forcible re monstrance, but for the want of dispassionate minds on which argument and remonstrance can make no impression. The prompt passage of the bill over the veto, with thirty-nine sur plus votes in the House and eighteen surplus votes in the Senate above what was requisite to make the two-thirds, betokens that the question has passed beyond tho province of argument to that of action. The next Con gress will be quite as radical as the present, and even if the two-thirds and its surplus could be wiped out, it would make no differ ence, since a bare majority suffices to prevent the repeal of a law once enacted. If the Re publicans carry the next Presidential election, the veto will prevent the repeal of this abomi nable law within tho ensuing six years, for the long term of the Senators insure tho Republi cans at least one-third of the Senate, and a third of either branch of Congress suffices to support a veto. The sole power of President Johnson's veto consists in the strength of his arguments. Arguments of greater intrinsic force are not to be expected hereafter, and as they obviously produce no impression on the Republican majority now, there is no ground to expect from them any better result when the little novelty they may possess shall have worn off, and the startling occasion which commands attention to them at present, shall have given place to tho leaden apathy with which people naturally regard reasoning which possesses no novelty, on questions regarded as settled. That the Republican party regard this ques tion as settled, is incontestable; and we cannot expect that the arguments which produced no impression on them while it was pending, will be weighed with candor when they have come to consider the question as decided. It is not what Demourats think of these arguments that is going to change anything, but what Repub licans think of them; and he must be strangely blind to the signs of the times, to the actuali ties of tho situation, and to the ordinary opera tion of human motives, who expects that much can be accomplished by way of proso lytism by their iteration. Arguments have spent their practical force when there is no longer any chance of getting them fairly con sidered by those whom you wish to convert. For all purposes of impression they become blueted by use, aud by the difficulty of re opening questions which have been decided alter long discussion. Familiarity with usurpa tion takes off the keen sense of its atrocity: "Vlco Is a monster of such hideous mien As to be hated needs but to be seen; Yet seen too oft, fniniliar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace." These lines of the poet depict a tendency of human nature which has been deplorably ex emplified by our countrymen within the last six years. The resolutions passed by Congress in the summer of 1SU1 with only two dissent ing votes, declaring that the war was not waged for any such purposes as are now sought to be consummated, measures tho sad decline in public virtue. As a portrayal of wrongs, nothing needs to be added to this powerful message of Presi dent Johnson. Put if we attempt to pass from the question of wrongs to that of remedies, we no longer tread upon well-explored, solid ground. The terrible and portentous evils which the President shows to be involved in the enforcement of this cruel law, are a strong argument lor resisting its operation and shortening its duration, by every practicable or promising means. The worse any situa tion is, tho stronger are the reasons for speedily getting out of it. The bill is so bad ihat nothing undertaken against it can be worst), the onlv Possible methods of relit. f arethewe three: StatesMilitni'y rt'-sistaiu' 1,y tUe Southern . A political revolution in the North lead ing to a revt)lll ofthe laWi J. A hiw of a(.tion in the South leading to its acceptance ami reorganization under it. we have not forgotten the Supreme Court; but the chances 0f relief from that quarter are too ri01,,i,.r to Uxuo any confidence. The greatest expedition and celerity cannot procure a daowiou from the Supreme Court much short of a year, since the court, after its spring adjournment, wm uot meet again until next winter. In the meantime the ex isting State (Jovernmmus will utterly broken down and demolished, aa the bill legis lates out of office all the incumbents, and re quires them to be replaced by persons not disfranchised by the proposed Constitutional amendment. When these Governments are once thrown down, there is no authority in the Supreme Court to set them up. It has no power but to decide litigated cases Ix'tween plaintiffs and defendants, determining what is law only as a means of awarding jus tice to parties. The best that could be hoped, therefore, even from a favorable decision of the Supreme Court, would be an exchange of mili tary government for anarchy. ( Tho.State Gov ernments being already gone, the displace ment of the military government by a tribunal having no power to supply anything in its place would leave the ten States without any sort of governmental protection, either mili tary or legal. Moreover, the Supreme Court decided, twenty years ago, that it was bound to follow the action of Congress in determining what is the valid State Government in any State, arguing that, as the question was poli tical, it could only follow the decision of the political branch of the Government. Hut, aside from this question of jurisdiction, the great age and infirm health of some of the conservative Judges do not permit us to count with any assurance on a favorable decision. We turn, therefore, to tho three modes of relief which we have indicated; I. Military resistance holds out so little promise of success that it is not likely to lie thought of, and its discussion need not detain us. The army will oley Congress. Tho known political sympathies of a majority of its officers, its dependence on Congress for its pay, and tho natural tendency of a military body to magnify its own importance and prefer its own methods of government, will render the army a subservient, and perhaps a zealous instrument for the enforcement of this law. Some ofthe very worst dangers pointed out in the veto are inferred from the habitual con tempt felt by military men for the dilatory proceedings of civil tribunals. Assuming, then, that the army will co-operate with Con gress, the South may well despair of military redress. Every Southern fort, every South ern port, every arsenal, is in the possession of the army. The South has neither money, nor credit, nor munitions, nor even provisions. Owing to the short crops of last year, there are large areas where tho people are in immi nent danger of starvation. If a renewal of hostilities should intercept the charity of the North, multitudes would perish. The pros trate condition of tho South precludes all pos sibility of relief by armed resistance, and we presume that even tho most impulsive and impetuous of Southern citizens would not think of it, although it would be the most natural mode of relief, if it were practicable. II and III can be best considered together, as they are alternatives which depend upon a comparison of probabilities. It is a question between the relative chances of a change in Northern opinion and a change in Southern opinion. If the North remains immovable, the South can never be relieved from military tyranny except by reorganization under the new law. If the South remains immovable, it can never escape but by a political revolution in the North. It is a contest of opposing pro babilities a question whether the North or the South is most likely to yield, and which will yield soonest. If the South stedfastly persists, radical ascendancy would in time be broken, and the Union restored, for the North will never consent to its permanent dissolu tion. If, on the other hand, the North should adhere, with stubborn persistency, to its pre sent views, it is equally certain that the South would at length succumb, to escape the evils of military domination. The important prac tical question is, Which is likely to hold out longest? In all such contests of endurance, that side is most likely to prevail (Other considerations apart) which has the most overweening con fidence in its own strength and resources. So far as this consideration goes, the preponde rance of weights is in the Northern side of the balance. A change in Northern opinion is more likely to be operated by disasters in business and monetary derangement than by arguments addressed to magnanimity or jus tice. Put the storm which is merely brewing in the Northern sky has already burst upon the South; but pecuniary ruin in prospect and scarcely believed in, is a feeble motive in com parison with such ruin felt and groaned under as a present fact. The causes to which we look forward to produce a change of political action in the North are already operating with the direst intensity in the South; and so far as political changes can be predicted on such grounds, they may be expected to come soonest at the scene of their earliest and most blasting operation. The amount of change requisite, in either section, to give effect to one or the other policy, is a point that must not be left out of view. For the South to reorganize and get admitted under tho odious law which has been passed over the veto, needs only a defection sufficient to make, with the negroes, a majority of the voting population. Put to repeal the law requires a revolution in the North extensive enough to give the Demo cratic party a majority in both Houses of Con gress, and, unless we elect the next President, a two-thirds majority. A party seeking to repeal a law is under a great disadvantage as compared with a party seeking to carry an election. The very checks and impediments by which the governmental machinery ope rates against rash legislation and in favor of stability, secure the perpetuity of bad laws until they have accomplished all their mis chief. Even if we should elect a majority of the Congressmen in 18US, we should be power less in the Forty-first Congress to repeal this law, inasmuch as the six years' term of the Senators prevents any party from suddenly chancing the political character of the Senate. Certain it is, therefore, that this abominable and tyrannical law will stand for at least four years, unless it is rendered inoperative by Southern acceptance of its conditions, lint while there is no possibility of its repeal without such a wide-spread and stable alteration of Northern opinion as will insure control of the Senate, a change, in any one Southern State, of white votes enough to make a majority with the negroes, will relieve that State from martial law, if Congress keeps ltii promise. The weight and power ol the excluded States for purposes of resistance depend on perfect unity among their white inhabitants, and unity among all the States. Put to escape martial law by compliance re quires no co-operation, since each State can act for itself without regard to the others, and in States where the negro population is large a small defection will turn the scale. We conclude, therefore, that a mode of escape from martial law which requires the conver sion of a distant hostile community, the co operation of many States, and time enough to change tho political complexion of the Senate, is less likely to prevail than one which re quires fewer conversions, no co-operation, and comparatively little time. The probabilities, as we estimate them, in cline strongly to ultimate submission on the part of tho South. If this estimate be not mistaken, good policy requires that the sub mission should be prompt enough to prevent the radicals getting control of the new State organizations. The planters can control the negro vote if they begin in season; and by accepting at once what they will be constrained to submit to at last, they can help their friends in the North elect the next President, and rescue the Government from radical domineer ing and insolence. 4 This exposition of the political situation is such as we would gladly have foreborne? if fidelity to truth, and the responsibility which attaches to a public journal which we should be loth to think without influence, did not constrain us. If our Southern friends are in a den of cutthroats that has only one opening for escape, we do not create the surrounding horrors by carrying in a friendly torch, but only disclose them.
