THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 18G9. TIi lnnr.-ffloe BUI. Thb Senate yesterday passed, by the decisive - rote of 37 to 15, a aabstitate for tke Tenare-of-Offioe bill, which is said to be aooeptlble to the President, and whioh commanded the support of nearly all the Republican members. ' It glvee to General Grant ample power to re move all objeotionable officers, without as signing cause, during the sessions of the Senate, provided that body consents to each ' removals, or confirms the appointment of new officials. Do ring the reoess of the Senate it autho rises the President to suspend civil officers at bis diseretion, and to designate persons to nil the raoanoies oreated, but he Is to make new nominations within thirty days after the commencement of the next session, ami if the Senate refuses to ratify these nominations, and to assent to the contemplated suspen- : fllons, the deposed officiate will regain their ' positions. ' , The prlnoipal change effected by this sub stitute Is, that it relieves the President from ' obligation to assign a cause for removals, and in doing this it destroys the feature of the present law whioh General Grant has most strongly oondemned. In the conversations whioh he is aleged to have held with various parties, he has dwelt mainly npon the em barrassment he felt in finding appropriate ' accusations against persons whom he thought should be removed, for the good of the pub lio serrioe, but who could not be oonvioted of any serious offense. The proposed law en- tlrely abrogates this necessity, but at the same time it gives the Senate a cheok npon the abuse of Presidential power whioh is, we think, fully authorized by the Consti tution, and whioh may often be found essen tial to the protection ef the national interests. This plan of removing the existing difficulty Is In some respects decidedly better than a temporary suspension of the present law, for H. establishes a rule of aotion applicable at all .lmes to all administrations, and cannot be assailed by the opposition as a mere transient expedient. ' It la reported, however, that the substitute will encounter bitter hostility in the Ilouse, and that that body will be oontent with nothing less than the unconditional repeal of the existing restrictions. To-day's proceed ings will probably serve to verify or contra dict Jhefle rumors, and they will therefore at .tr act great interest among the immense mass of politicians who are awaiting with intense anxiety the dismissal of the obnoxious adhe rents of Andrew Johnson. If it is true that General Grant is satisfied with the Senate substitute, we see no good reason why it should not command the approval of the House. The underlying prin ciple of the Tenure-of-Offlce bill has gained a deep hold npon the confidence of the coun try, and it is desirable that it should be maintained, in a modified form, even under an administration whioh has irresistible olai'ms to publio confidence. . The Cattle and Sheep Bills. Oob remarks a, few days ago on the Cattle bill have oaused pain to members, or at least to a member, of the Legislature. All cuticles are not as Impervious as that of the rhinoceros, and it Is rather gratifying than otherwise to find that some of the men "wbee ooupy the position as legislatures" have not yet readied that pachydermatous condition when they are alike insensible to praise or blame. A "legis lature" has had his sensibilities touohed by our oomments on the Cattle and Sheep bills, and under the supposition that we have con founded the guilty Cattle bill with the inno cent Sheep bill, he has sent ns an official oopy of the latter, with a touching note whioh would do credit to Artemus Ward, assuring us that Thair ar no snaix in this." This precious, but unfortunately anonymous, epistle Is too good to be lost, so we give it as it was "writ," without dotting an t or crossing a t. -It la verry painfull lor men wuoe ooupy the potation aa L BiHiniurm, the Eronlous utate mentayou men do route In year paper, now I noloiie you the Hbt-ttp Bill whloii you would make the people fcelclve was the CatUe bill. X defy you to point to one uojunt word or tuean tng in thia bill. Uie persona asking fortius have there sheds lireoud and are doing bulaneHa and ouely ask to beeucorperated. All U con tained In the last sec. Ion which pleae Read "MtMfllll" ' The difference between the Cattle and Sheep bills appears to be that the first is a Senate and.the last a Ilouse measure. Tho two con flict in some degree, as the Cattle bill provides that all oattle, oalves, sheep, and hogs offered for sale or slaughter in Philadelphia shall be weighed and inspeotd at the yard of Messrs. Gohl, MoGrath, Hunt & Kidgway, while the last section of the Sheep bill, to which our attention has been specially called by the .above quoted "legislature," is as follows: MThat the said 8nee Broker' Aioolailoa hall have power to and may reoelve In their yarda and pena dtreotly, by consignment or otherwise, any number of abeep, und upon treoneet Cf the owner or o urners, audi siieep may Twelfth- d examined and a certificate far I.hZd I of the same. wDlch certificate ahall T?Tt ,i T.heeD from any farther examlna or we'n"wnirina tu.elty and county Of Philadelphia." Tho fourteenth section of the Cattle bill, rfcloa wo fall dlscas3ed a fatr days ago, is as follows: ... ftv the aalel I ni oeo tor shall flTofMy K tiUMot been taspeotod, wtuhd and marked In conformity wit this and'anvperaoo violating any of the pro Xmc9l l IU b giUlty Of meanor, and. upon conviction throf, aha.ll forfeit, and pay n fine of not leis than tV) for each animal aiangtitAred or exposed for al, or, In defHuli of tue pyirent lorerif, to un dergn on lmprtHonrneol In the onnntv Jail for a tprrn not exceeding thirty uava. one-alf the fine o col !cHd to be pM to the Guardians of the 1'oor, and one-half to tbe lof inner, and aiy person offering for Rale an anml unfit fur rlnufctittr nd consumption nha'l he llaile to llko penalty. Provlritd, that nothlna In Mile boi aliaii be onnnirned to rply to nnlnnit rnfMri arid Klanglatcred ly fanners of l'nnsyl vnnla, end tirnngtii by them fur retail tale lulo rblludeJphlu." TLe Ebf p bill, in a hherpteh sort of wav, gives a certain association the privilege of weighing all the sheep brought to this city. It makes a private corporation the publio weighmaster, and tbe certificate of Totn, Dlok, or Harry, who may happen to do the weighing, is made a sufficient evidenoe of correctness, without oath or affirmation. The Cattle bill goes the whole hog, and to the cor porators of the Twelfth ail Sixteath Streets Railway is delegated all necessary authority to extraot so muoh money from the pookets of the meat-eaters of this city, for every pound of beef, veal, mutton, and pork brought to our markets. In spite of the touohing epistle above mentioned by us we cannot oonour with tbe "legislature" who has taken so muoh pains to lnstruot ns on the subjeot, in seeing any virtue in the Sheep bill, and the only commendation we can bestow is that it is not quite as bad as the Cattle bill. There has been enough said on this subject, and if either of these measures is favored by the Legislature, the members from this city, who vote for it, may as well make up their minds tbat they will never have au op portunity to perpetrate a similar outrage after the present session. Andrew JoIinon at Home. "Thrrb is no place like home t" sings Andrew Johnson. Then why did you tear yourself away from it ? responds the rest of the world. But having so sacrificed his yearnings, and put to the raok his heart-strings, he may well rejoice that the long agony is over; and as he lifts up his voice in thanks for the great emancipation, he has the profund consolation of knowing that the country joins in the strain, "There is no place like home" for Andrew Johnson. The speech delivered by the Great Emanci pated on his return to Greenville was pub lished by us yesterday. Doubtless all our readers have read it. If any of them have negleoted to do so, let them delay the task no longer. It is equal to Naaby's best, with this advantage the orthography is beyond re proaoh. But then, you know, Andrew John son did not have anything to do with the orthography. lie said "he had no intention to make a speeoh." Of course not t fcuoh an intention the ciroumstanoe is remarkable, but it is, nevertheless, well established such an intention never was indulged in by the Great Emancipated, either on that or on any other occasion. Of course, he had no intention of making a speech. 'Who said he had? But oh this momentous occasion especially he did not intend to make a speeoh. And for the best of reasons. He was "incapacitated" from making a speeoh. So he was on' the memorable 4th of March, 1865. The cause, however, was slightly different. On that oc casion he was drunk not dead drunk, as he might have been if there was enough whisky in the wide world to make him dead drunk, and he bad taken the trouble to imbibe the whole of it; but manifestly, in the eyes of the whole world, too drunk to make a speeoh. On the day of diis arrival at Greenville, however, the "incapacity" arose from a different cause. "The reception and cordial weloome I have received incapa citate me from giving proper expression to my emotions." All of which means that he could not make a speeoh. Yet he did make a speech, both on the 4th of March, 1865, anl on the day of his return to Greenville. The world oan never say of Andrew Johnson tbat be negleoted doing a thing, or at least attempting to do a thing, simply because he was "incapacitated" from doing it. With all his weaknesses, he can never be accused of this weakness. So the Great Emancipated made a speeoh. The eagle orator of Tennessee, the lion. Theodorus Adolphus Roderlgo Nelson, intro duced him. We do not know whether the eagle orator soared on the occasion, the re port simply stating that the ex-President was introduced by the lion. T. A. R. N. In all probability he did soar a little, as it is his nature to soar more or less, whenever he has an opportunity for soaring. But Andrew Johnson did soar a great deal, notwithstanding his inability to soar in general, aud his speoial "incapacity" for soaring on this particular occasion. "There is no place like home !" he exclaimed, and we have already expressed our perfect acoord with him on this individual point. His first flight was directed towards the Aonlan mount. But he did not ride his own Pegasus, finding somebody else's ready at band. "Brrathra there a man with soul ao dead. Who never to himself hath said. This U my own, my native land?" Such was the first flight. Why Andrew Johnson permitted himself to ask this ques tion we do not know. Perhaps he has never been able to satisfy his mind on the point, and desires enlightenment. We will venture to respond, at any rate; and in doing so we are obliged to respond affirmatively. There can be no question that the Almighty has actually permitted suoh a wretch to breathe; but as the wretch in question Is not that other wretch who has so recently been emancipated from a large proportion of his wretchedness, it is not necessary to divulge his name at pre sent. Like Napoleon on his death-bed at St. Helena, the Great Emancipated then fought his battles o'er again. lie actually "men tioned all the successive offioes through whioh ho had passed, up to the Presidency I" As Andrew Johnson has frequently "mentioned" the same things, there would have been no i ma !n mentioning them on this ocoa&icai when he was laboring under such an unusual load of "incapacity," had he not desired to assure the people of Greenville that he hal received their support as, step by stp, he had mounted the ladder of fame, iu this connection be might have taken another poetical flight, by quoting these Hue?: ' A.b, who can tell how hard It la to ollmrt Tbe hteep where Fame's proud leiupieaalues afar I'' But he did not choose to quote them, and therefore there !(, perhaps, no gool rea son wby we shou'.d do it. But, although Andrew Johnson did not again avail himself of his miraculous escape from bondage to banter with the muses, he did somelhlarf far more lndisoreet. He "challenged any and all oalumniators to plao their finger npon a single Stain npon his oifiolal character." Permit ns to respond to this challenge by a Shake spearian quotation: tkigbcrrylt you ntetla thk-r, yon may its pHcl him, VS virtue ( f your oilli'u, i tin no Iran mat : and, for such kind of into, the lens yo i meddle or make with ibt-in, wby, the more la lor yinr honcaiy. "tserond Wafer J( we know htm to bo a ll.lef, ehttl w not lay hands on him? ' Digbtrry Traiy, by yon r office, you iniy; builihltik, they that touch pl;cu will be do fllcd." "At whose hauds have I ever received a bribtf Whom have I betrayed? Whom have I defrauded?" Verily, there is so muoh pittU in thy stains, O Andrew I that we prefer to take Dogberry's advice, aad not tuu the rink of defilement. But we can pursue this interesting analysis no farther, and must pass in silence the la mentations of the Great Emancipated over the unhappy fate of his oountrymeu, who pais into bondage as he passes out. The Uniou, the Constitution, the flag, the thirty-seven stars, liberty, justioe, mercy, humanity, aud all that sort of thing, are in danger, as we have been told before, and as we are quite willing to believe. Not until the world is ut terly ard entirely rid of such men as Andrew Johnson will their emancipation be complete, their safety insured. "One Moment, Mr Secret wry !" It is asserted as a faot, and one whioh a dis interested witness testified to, that it took Secretary Borie just thirty-five minutes to get from the desk of Willard's Hotel to the foot of the stairway, a distanoe of about sixty feet. This delay was not oaused by any absence of anxiety on the part of the Seoretary of the Navy to reaoh the goal, for tbe witness fur ther testifies that he battled most manfully against the tide of button-holers. But "Juat one moment, Mr. Secretary," was an appeal which could not be resisted, especially if the applioant for attention saw fit to throw him self in your way and barricade the passage. Tbe experience of Seoretary Borie is the same as that suffered by every publio man, and is suggestive of the desperation of the patriots who are seeking to get at the publio "pap." "It is pleasant to die for one's coun try, or is more pleasant to live for one's country;" but, oh ! how truly it is proved that it is "most pleasant to live on one's country!" Simple-hearted people who dwell in contentment at home and have no political ambition cannot realize the process of "making points" as attempted at the capital. "To make a point" is the chief end of the office-seeker. He is a oruiser sailing idly down the avenue, waiting to attack any rich politloal merchantman who has not another cruiser for a convoy which, however, is generally the case. lie is a shark Beeking to devour the loaves and fishes of office, and is not to be soared off by the frowns of the captains or the discharge of the batteries of a passing vessel. Thus it is well for those who contemplate applications for office to oaloulate the chances of success, and not, like, the unfortunate archi tect in the Scripture, oommence to build and thin run short of funds, and become a laugh ing stock. In calculating the probability, let us look at the number of applicants. For the oonsulute at Frankfort-on-the-Main, there are one hundred and sixty-seven. This is a type. For every offioe in the gift of the United States Government there are at least six or seven. There is no spot whioh gets a single mouthful of "perquisites" whioh is not sought for with frenzied eagerness. When the expense of going to Washington is considered, the aetnal loss of time involved, the probabilities of failure, and the Blight tenure of the offioe when scoured, it is really amazing that people are willing to do so much for so little. It is like fighting the tiger, the odds being always against you; or engaging in a lottery, where the chances are nine out of ten against your success. We do not wish to discourage the noble army of martyrs, but from contact with a number ot gentlemen eager to enter their country's service, we oan deduce certain gene ral principles which may be of use: First, petitions ain't worth anything. Every body has petitions. Everybody signs peti tions. In Washington every man has his hands full of petitions. The Treasury building will aotually prove too small to contain all of these documents. They are filed and never read. Then, personal letters frem some par ties are good. But as a rule personal letters are given to so many by the same man that the weight which would be otherwise attaohed to them is light. They are better than peti tions, but won't get one an appointment. Again, personal appeals by distinguished men are effective if you oan get them. But as this faot is as well known to every one of the applicants as it is to you, it it highly Improbable that you oan get them. "What then can you do?" is the question. We answer at enoe, "Keep to your own private business; it will pay better; It will give you greater freedom; it will preserve your self respect more than any publio offioe attainable." The seeking for offioe is the ourse of our ooun try. It is the blot whioh will eventually render illegible the best portion of our national history. Suooess in gaining it is but a sur render of individual opinion, in nine oases out of ten, and is a step in tho wrong direotion. That it will tojiut th country, aj wU al the individual, who oan doulf The enormoui 'ctrt-Afeof offices is already telling on publio pirit and morals, and it saems likely that Rev. Sidcey Smith will be bald a prophet, for forty years ago be said of Amerloa, speaking of her future" The habit of dealing in large sums will make the Government careless and profuee, and the system itself will Infallibly engender the base vermin of spies aud formere, and a atlll more pestilent raoe of pollt'oal tools and rUiur of tho meanest and most odlon description; while the prodigious patronage whioh the collecting of the splendid revenue will throw into the hands of the Government will Invent it with to vast au iiifluenon, and hold out snob means and temptations to corrnption, a all the virtue and publio spirit even of republicans will be unable to resist." This waa written in lHi!, and 1869 feeuia to be verifying the prediction.
