WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1867.1
The Senate and its Dutr in llegard to
the Cabinet.
Ths Constitution of the United States declares
(Art. N, Sect. 2) that the President shall nomi
nate, and bj and with the advice and consent
of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors,
other public ministers, and consuls, judges of
the Supreme Court, and all other officers
whose appointment ia not herein otherwise
provided for, and which shall be established
hj law. But the Congress may by law rest
the appointment of such inferior ofBoers as
thej think proper In the President alone, in
the courts of law, or in the heads of depart
ments.0 The appointment of Cabinet officers stands
upon preoisely the same footing as that of all
other officers. It requires "the advice and
consent of the Senate." In the days when
this instrument was framed nothing was
known of the modern idea, that the heads of
departments, those great officers who stand
next to the Government itself, were to be the
mere creatures of the President, appointed to
Suit his convenience and carry out his ideas,
and bound to abdicate their own individuality
and independence. Indeed, the Constitution
knows nothing of a "Cabinet" nothing of
these "constitutional advisers" of the Presi
dent, as they are sometimes called. It assumes
that there may be "heads of depart
ments," but it contains no provisions for the
creating of such officers even, except in the
general authority of Congress to establish
offices "by law." This whole modern idea
of a "Cabinet," as the peculiar property
of the President, to be constituted solely
according to his will, to hold office merely at
his pleasure, to reflect his ideas, and support
hia policy, and to lay down their portfolios at
his bidding, is utterly unknown to the Con
stitution, is unwarranted by either the letter
or spirit of that instrument, and is anti-republican
and dangerous in its tendencies. The
heads of the departments are officers of the
Government, not the mere creatures and con
veniences of the President; their positions are
"established by law," not the gratuity of the
Executive; their functions are to aid in carry
ing out the laws, not to be mere looking
glasses, in which the President may see him
self refleoted in all his changing moods.
In accordance with this false and unconsti
tutional idea of the Cabinet, which makes it
a Presidential convenience instead of the ser
vant of the people, it is assumed that the
Senate must practically abdicate its functions
under the Constitution, and must, as a matter
of course, give its advice and consent to the
appointment of such person's for the heads of
departments as the President may select.
They are not to exercise a sound discretion in
the matter, and to regard the great interests of
the oountry, which may be involved, but are
to grind out the Cabinet from just such a grist
as the President may choose to bring to the
mill. We think it high time that this notion
were entirely abandoned, and that
the Senate should resume its constitutional pre
rogative in the matter of these appointments,
to the fullest extent. These officers should be
looked upon in their true light as creatures of
the law, pot as appendages of the President,
and they should be appointed to honestly and
capably fulfil their duties under the law.
There is no more reason why a Postmaster
General should be confirmed by the Senate, as
a matter of oourse, upon bis nomination by
the President, than there is why a justice of
the Supreme Court should.
' But we shall be told that the Cabinet officers
are the "constitutional advisers'" of the Presi
dent. The Constitution does not make them
so. There ia no reason why they should be so
The proper duties of a Postmaster-General
have no more to do with his giving "constitu
tional ad vice" to the President than have those
of the Chief Justice. Both are executive
officers in the sense that they must assist in
carrying out the laws. Neither has properly
anything to do with giving constitutional
advice to the President. Under this expression
of giving "constitutional advice" lurks that
other dangerous notion, that the Cabinet must
agree in "policy" with the President. The
President has no right to a policy. lie is the
Executive. His only duty is to execute, not
to make, laws. Congress, as the direct repre
tentative of the people, is the supreme law
making power of the Government. It, and it
alone, has the right t c determine the govern
mental polioy of the nation. The Presl
dent has nothing to do with it
His pretending to have a policy at
all is a direct breach of the entire spirit of
the Constitution. His attempt to inaugurate
a polioy, to foroe it upon the oountry, to mould
Dublin sentiment to it by using his offioial
power and patronage, are unconstitutional
Tjrooeedlngs of the.mosi nagrani ana danger
ooa character, and are of themselves ample
gTOund for impeachment. The very fact that
ta avowa a policy and is endeavoring to force
It on the country, is a sufficient reason why he
Should not be allowed to dictate to the Senate
and to the country who snail constitute me
heads of departments. Those great officers,
with their vast and varied powers, should not
I so much material in the hands of a treache
rous and usurping Kxecutive wherewith to
override the Constitution. In a contest
like that which, luw now arisen, fortunately
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY,
hitherto unprecedented In the hlstor of oar
Government, the Senate should not hesitate
to wield its constitutional power to the utmost.
No man, for any offloe, h'gh or low, should be
confirmed who does not stand by the polioy of
the people as opposed to that of the President
and that simply because the President has
no right to a polioy, and his assuming to have
one Is a direct attack upon the vital principle of
the Government. If the present heads of de
partments shall resign, the Senate should
utterly refuse to confirm their successors
unless they are men acceptable to the
country, and ready to carry out the will
of the people as expressed by Con
gress. Tbe becretary of War, Mr. Stanton,
will of course remain at the head of his de
partment. The others should be men of like
stamp. If we must have harmony in the
Cabinet, let it be harmony with the Constitu
tion and with the people, and not with a faith
less President who is attempting to override
the Constitution and to defeat the expressed
will of the people. We can conceive of no
greater dereliction of duty on the part of the
Senate than the confirmation of a Cabinet de
voted to the unconstitutional, weak, and
wicked policy of Andrew Johnson.
The Knpture Between the General and
the l'resident.
There can be little doubt that a rup
ture, open and probably violent, has taken
place between the President and General
Grant. Of course, direct information is unat
tainable, but the evidence is sufficient to con
vince us that at last Grant has thrown himself
into the breach, and is seeking to defy and
deter the President, having failed to convince
him by argument. Looking at the proceed
ings since the removal of Mr. Stanton,
such a conclusion seems inevitable. The
President commands Grant to remove
Sheridan, to which he replies with a letter
eo urgent as to almost approach resistance
ia opposition to the order. Overruled in his
objections, he issues the order, with a pro
viso endorsing all that Sheridan had done,
commanding Thomas to enforce all his prede
cessor's orders, and calling Sheridan to
Washington. The sickness of Thomas pre
vents the order being carried into effect, and
we may infer that Mr. Johnson again directed
Grant to assign Hancock to the Fifth District.
It is probable that Grant, having witnessed
the storm of indignation which the removal of
Sheridan has produced, determined not to lend
himself to any such scheme as that of Mr.
Johnson, and peremptorily refused to publish
the new order. The President thereupon
takes the unprecedented course of publishing
the order himself. Nowhere do we find a
parallel for such an action. It has always
been through the Secretary of War that the
orders to the army have been issued, and had
Grant not absolutely refused, we cannot ima
gine any ground for the direct issue by the
Chief Executive. The similar fate of the order
relieving Sickles, and that removing Pope,
shows us that the breach is wide and irrecon
cilable. Now that it has occurred, the country can
breathe more freely. The President is the most
unpopular man in America; Grant is the most
popular; and when a conilict occurs between
the two, who can doubt the result ? If the
General persists in his refusal to assent to any
removal, and declines to issue the neoessary
directions, there remains but one thing for
Mr. Johnson to do to get his orders executed,
and that is to relieve Grant of his Secretary
ship. It may have been with this determina
tion that Grant aocepted the office, for now he
stands a bulwark which can only be sur
mounted by removal. After disgracing Stan
ton, Sheridan, and Sickles, the President will
have to do likewise with Grant. The General
will have to be removed and some tool put in
his plaoe. But whether he can be removed is
a doubtful question, as even his loss of the
Secretaryship does not affect his supervising
power over the District Commanders, and he
properly interprets the law to mean that no
one can remove them but himself. In his
course, therefore, the Exeoutive is confronted
by an obstacle so imposing, backed by so
powerful a popularity, and noted for an in
domitable will, that we should not be surprised
if, after all, Sheridan and Sickles should
remain, despite the efforts of the recreant
Executive at the White House.
What is Conservatism ? Mr. Thaddeus
Stevens has written a powerful letter, in which
he confesses his own ignorance of the meaning
of the word "Conservatism." In this respect
the "Great Commoner" is no worse off than
most of the citizens of the United States. We
profess ourselves to be completely at a loss to
know what a "Conservative" is. But what
ever it means, he very justly lays great blame
on the "half-a-dozen Senators" to whom we
owe the present difficulty. The timidity or
the indifference of those Senators to the dan
gers to which the country was subjected by
their action, can hardly be excused even on the
plea of stupidity. This false spirit of "Con
servatism" has now brought us to the very
border of the greatest national danger, and if
we are to interpret the meaning of the word
from its result, we would define a "Conserva
tive" as "one who, through cowardice or for
personal ends, seeks to aid the subdued Rebels
by opposing the loyal representatives of the
people." This is as complete a definition as
we can give.
Death of Fabbadat. In the death of Pro
fessor Michael Farraday the scientiflo world
has sustained a loss second only to that oc
curring when Humboldt and Cuvier died.
Michael Farraday was born in 1794, and for
thirty years has been ranked among the
foremost chemists of Europe. His researches
in electrloity tended to give as the eorreot
theory of the phenomena, and in all the
varied departmeputa of the science he excelled.
He bad won for himself a high reputation as a
lectnrer, and sinoe 1835 had been employed
by the Government of Great Britain. Ills
name, preserved in many of his original ex
periment, will be perpetually familiar to all
who study that soionoe to which he devoted
his intelleot and his life.
The Address of the State Committee.
We need hardly call attention to the brief but
powerful address of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee, to be found elsewhere in our
columns. The events of the last few days
have aroused the country to the perils which
still surround us. The President makes an
open issue with the people. The gallant heroes
who led our people to victory on the bloody
battle-fields of tho Rebellion, are daily being
insulted and disgraced by an Exeoutive whe
has proved a traitor to the people who
elected him. There is nothing left but
to make a straight out fight, and to
teach this faithless Executive that the people
are still true to the great principles which
carried the nation so triumphantly through
the late contest of arms. The spirit of '.the
Rebellion still lives in the doctrines whioh
gave it birth, and seeks to fortify itself in our
courts of law and justice. This gives us a
praotical issue in Pennsylvania, and makes the
contest this fall of the highest importance.

A Philippic. The New York Tribune to-day
gives us a piece of philippic whioh is in Mr.
Greeley's best style. We know of no writer
in America who can abuse more heartily than
the philosopher of the Tribune, and to-day he
opens his vials of wrath on Mr. Johnson with
a force which positively takes away the breath
of the reader. He says:
"Where will this end? The President means
war. The couniry must stand and light, or be
defeated. We believe anything possible of Mr.
Johnson. His administration Is h record of
deception, cunning, disloyalty antagonism to
the best interests of the couutry. He uas made
the udmlnl8trntiou of Buchanan respectable by
showing a degradation to which even Mr.
Buchanan could not sink. He has betrayed
his party; he has betrayer! his friends; he has
betrayed his couutry. Nothing la left of his
administration but a few miserable jobbers
like those who hang around htm, and a few
wretched polllicul adventurers like Black. The
men who accepted contumely for his cause, like
Seward, and Kuudall, and Welles, be is Impa
tient to drive out of his Cabinet. The savage
of Sahara Is not Insensible to the obligations of
friendship; but even this no lo nger remains
with Mr. Johnson."
The New York Times, conservative in all
its utterances, gives a proper hint as to the
evil effects of a Democratic success in our State
at the coming election:
"Repudiation Is a worl which we expressed
regret the other day at seeing brought ho much
into the party wrangles now going on lo l'enu
sylvauia, Ohio, and other Western States. Bat
It is being used more and more, and with less
and less concern the Itepunllcuus charging It
home upon tbeir Democratic opponents at
every possible opportunity, and the Democrats
apparently growing less unxlons to shield
themselves from the Imputation. Tuere is no
very great danger of the Democrats carrying
Pennsylvania lu the forthcoming Judicial elec
tion, and there is much less likelihood of their
carrying Ohio In the Gubernatorial elect loo.
But If they should carry either one of these
States, or come very near carrying either oue
of them, the fact will not, under existing cir
cumstances, be calculated lo increase public Jaith
in the stability of our national credit."
Some Facts About Crime. Some facts about
crime in England and Wales have just been
published in the Blue Book of judicial statistics
for 18GG. Compared with the previous year, the
serious offenses show a decrease, while, pro
bably, on account of more frequent applica
tion oi summary jurisdiction, the minor offenses
disposed of by magistrates show an increase.
We learn that England has 23,728 policemen, who
cost 1,827,106, being 478 constables and
78,647 more than the year before. The crimi
nal classes "at large" are set down at 113,566,
but of these, 33,101 are of the tramp and
vagrant fraternity. Those not at large are
16,708 in local prisons, 7018 in convict esta
blishments, and 3635 in reformatories. In
England and Wales there are 20,249 houses of
bad character. During the year there were
60,549 indictable offenses, in respect of which
27,190 persons were apprehended and com
mitted. The murders numbered 131, being tour
less than the total of 18C5. The attempts to
murder were 45, and there were 679 cases of
shooting, stabbing, etc.; 259 cases of man
slaughter, 8 of attempts to procure miscarriage,
211 of concealment of birth, 155 of unnatural
offenses, 257 of outrage, 322 of assaults with in
tent, etc., 272 of afsaults and bodily barm, 207
of common assault, aud 164 of assaults on
peace officers." There were 481,770 persons
proceeded against summarily, and of theae more
than one-fourth were discharged.

THE GRHT BftTKE IT PHIL KEARNEY.
farther Particular or the Attack on
Porter' Train, and the Gallant De
fense bjr Major Powell Plareo PlSfht
la and Terrible Rlaasrhter of Indiana.
From the Omaha Dally Herald, August 23.
We nave recently published the news of the
attack on Porter's train near Pull Kearney,
and the great battle which ooourred there cm
the 2d of July. The arrival of Mr. I'orter him
sull enat les us to give full particulars of that
bloody air lr as from his own II ph.
Mr. Porter's train was engagnd hauling wood
for Phil Kearney from two pineries, tooated
vvlthiu about four and a half miles of that poftt.
On the outskirts of the border of the more
northern portion of the timber the great bulk
of Porter's oxen were detached from the
wagoiiB, gracing, under the care of eighteen
tt'RinHtcis. On the south, a half mile distant
liom a point mid way between the two pine
ries, was nnother party lu charge of otner
wauoiiH. lietween the two wan au opou Uule
land of rolling prairie. At this point was the
corral, wlileu had been modelled Into a fort tor
t-lenhe In case of attack: some days before.
This was occup.ed by the gallant Powell, the
111-fnted Jenness, twenty-three soldiers, and
eighteen citizen. This corral was understood
to be the bane upon which the men were to re
lien t from the limber in case of attack.
The first attack was made at half-past 10
o'clock A.M., by from forty to fifty Indians,
with the object of driving off the herd. The
men drove buck this parly, but they were soon
followed by increasing numbers, when they
run Into the adjacent mountains, hotly pursued
by the Indians until the pursuers had shot away
their arrows, fighting as they retreated, and
killing large numbers of the redskins. Hl'nul
tuneously with this attack, another was made
upon the men and herd In the amall pinery,
anil upon the corral or central fort lor defense,
commanded by Powell, lty this lime the In
dians were seen from Kearney pouring over
In the direction from the adjacent hills
towards the devoted band within it. On
they enme, first upon horseback, charging
and yelling, In all their gorgeous war attire.
They made three dls'luct and determined
charges upon horseback, and were repulsed
with great slaughter by the breech
louder in the hands of the men lighting for
their lives. They finally retreated to the bills,
and stripping themselves entirely naked, aud
tying their horses to the timber, bank they
came afoot, not less than three thoHnand of
tne red devil surrounding the corral. For two
horrs nnd a half did the battle rage with Inces
sant fury. To show the reckless bravery of the
Indians, and the determined resistance of
Powell and his beleaguered little force, It Is
a fact that scores of Indians were killed within
ten paces of the corral so near that
it was Impossible for the Indians to
remove them to their hospital, which was In
their rear near the timber. This locality Is said
to be red with the blood of their slain. Long
had the battle waged with doubtful Issue, when
the timely arrlyal of Smith with reinforce
ments and ft gun caused the Indians to slowly
and suddenly retreat. The Indian loss Is esti
mated by Powell and Porter to be at least three
hundred. Our Iosh was the brave Jenness, who,
by reckless bravery in refusing to lie down,
was shot through the heart nnd Instantly
killed, ond five soldiers. The loss of property
Is about $35,000, aside from the damages, which
are at least $20,000 more a tearful Ions Indeed.
Every tribute of praise is paid to the cool and
courageous intrepidity or Powell, Jenness, and
the men who fought this bloody battle.
