OPIRI0R8 Of TH1 IBADIHO J0U&SALS CMS CURBS IT TOPICS COKMLSB BTBBT DAT V0& TBI BYBKMO TSLBORAfE. Khali the Senate or tte President Manage the Uxccu'lve Department I gyomVHir. T. Herald. TheBeDBte has passed a bill modifying the Tennre-of-Office Uf. The 1 resi dent Is Bald to be satbfled with this com promise, although the eBsenoe of the law is EtUl retained. The harsher restrictions and exactions of the law are cat off, bat the power Of the Senate orer the President's removals la not relinquished. Hence we have still to ask ' the Honse, shall the Senate er the Preaident manage the Exeontive Department? This Is a startling question. It suggests a change of the government hj act of Congress. Iiy hot of Congress this change was made for the benefit of President Johnson. The power wVilnh all his nredeoeaaers had exerolsed In the matter of removals from offloe was lu his case transferred to the Senate. Down to the passage of this law the President could and did remove his official subordinates at his dis cretion, the Senate being content with Its con stitutional power and duty of confirming or rejecting the PreBldent'B nominations. Bat under this existing law the Senate has the decisive vote ever ever removal from office. Thus the Exeoutlve Department has become a mere appendage of the Senate. The Presi dent Is but the President In name, for practi cally hla office is In the hands of an oligarchy the oligarchy of the Senate. It so happens, too, that for the four years' term of General Grant as President the radical leaders of this Oligarchy reasonably calculate upon controll ing the Senate, and, through Its aotion, the whole machinery and policy of the adminis tration. , General Grant, with the qniok perception of a sagacious soldier, on comlog into power made the repeal of this Tenure-of-Offloe law the condition of anything like a general system of removals from office. He does not like the drudgery of submitting to the Senate his reasons for the removal of John Doe or Richard Roe, with the chances of having his reasons voted insufficient. But the radloal majority of the Senate have bo modified the law as to relieve him of this drudgery, requir ing only that his removals in the absence of Congress shall be subject to the consent of the Senate at its next session. This is the fiubstanoe of the law retained the material feature which makes the President a mere Servant of the Senate, though he may consent to it for the Bake of peace. Let ub Buppo3e, for example, that this modification of the law is In foroe, and the two houses have adjourned over till Deotmber next. The President be gins to weed out the fishy office-holders. A radloal leader of the Senate, who has his friends to look after, takes the alarm. He ca la at the White House and Bays we think this man and that man onght not to be touohed, but thatsueh and suoh maybe safely removed. What, than, is the President to do f Surely, his wiseBt - course is to do nothing; and if left in this perplexing posture he ought to do nothing for the boneac of offioe beggars, great or small. The Senate, having gained this position of tne rrencn Directory through the folly of the House of Representative?, is naturally enough disposed to keep it. The House, from its recent aotion on several oocaslons, is quite as anxious to reotify its mistake, under wt'oh a member of the House, as an office-seeker, is reduced to a mere nobody. Bat in refusing anything short of the absolute repeal of this Tenure-of-Office law, and in refusing to adjourn Without this repeal, the House may regain its proper position of influenoe with the adminis tration In enforoing upon the Senate a return to the Constitution on this subject and a com pliance with the manifest will of the people. The law in question is an insult to the people and an insult to the House of Representatives from the degrading position to which the House Is reduced, with the President, under this law. Nor can we ex Dec t any wholesome legislation from Congress bo long as the House, the President, and the people are compelled, cap in hand, to bow to the supremacy of the .Senate. ' The framers of the Constitution, In classify ing the Senate so that one-third of its mem bers shall be eleoted with every new Con gress, unquestionably had their fears that otherwise the Senate, with its members chosen for six years, might become a sort of ,. oligarchy in the Government. But under existing clroumstanoes, with this Tenure-of-0 nice law. we have thisloligarchy established to a moral certainty for the next four years. Give it these four years, and it may beoome impossible to disturb this controlling aristo cratic branch of Congress in the position it lias secured. Nay, more, through its affilia tion with banks, bondholders, offloe-holders, manufacturing monopolies, railways, whleky rings, and all other material agonoles of wealth and power, the will of the Senate may sot only be the law of the President, but the law of the succession. Barely, with our ox- ferlenoe in revolutionary changes dur ing the ast eight years, we cannot in our wildest conjectures undertake to cover the possibili ties of the future. In this experrienoe we have learned practi cally, under the terrible array of an army of a million of men to begin with, that the re served strength and 8 wergo'.y of our Na tional Government are in Congress, bat we Lave learned, too, that if we are safe against a despotism from the White House, we are in danger from an oligaroby in the Senate. Here lies the latent mischief of this Tenure-of-Office law. The executive supervision which it gives the Senate, even as modiuad, and the temptations which It covers for the spolld and plunder, wealth and power, are too large to be trusted or be trilled with iu shallow compro mises. This law should be utterly cut out of the statute book. It Is not wanted. It is au unsightly exorescenue in aoy shape. There are many reasons for its removal; but were there no other, the subordinate position to which it reduces the House of Representatives Should auffloe with that body for a firm de mand for nothing leas than absolute repeal. ,, r Court Dress Reform. From th$ IT. T. Tribunt. f When Lord Eldon was advanoed to a judioial ji osltion requiring him to wear a wig of extra ordinary proportions, poor Lady Kldon, who hated to have her dear John's handsome features hidden under a bushel of horse-hair, personally petitioned old George the Third to allow her husband to offlolate in his own. "No, no, do," answered the monarch; "no changes in my time no ohanges in my time I" This conservative king, if now living, and in the Sossession of his wits, would probably be riveu out of them, by oertain changes Whloh ' ' the ' Lord Chamberlain has ordained in the Court costume. Considering the Interest taken heretofore by our own State Department in this matter, and which has led Blnoe Mr. Maroy's time to a, voluminous correspondence on clothes, much Of which has been printed, and remembering that the United States Lave been, to a con. siderable extent, the pioneers In this sartorial reform, we think that It would be a kind, of orawntnir elnrr with whlob. Mr. Beverdy John- I ion might illustrate his diplomatic career, If I be would draw up an elaborate report on the whole subject of court-coals and oenrt breeobes for tbe edifloatlon of the Stat De partment aforesaid a kind of final despatch upon the subject of garments t The proposed changes in the oourt costume give occasion for a great deal of writing in the British newspapers. Such discussions may be taken to indicate at l-ast an advanoed stage of civilization. Certainly they could not have arisen at the primitive period mentioned by the amiable Cowper: when clothing enmptnons or for use, Save their own unpalnled skius, oar aires had none. As yet black brcechts were not; satin smooth, Or velvet soft, or pluf.li with ebHggy pile." Although a philosopher might' view the whole matter with a certain degree of oool contempt, we are disposed to find in this ap parently trivial affair an advanoe in the direc tion of democratio simplicity and common sense not so well marked, indeed, as we might wish for, but still an advanoe. In the time of Louis XIV the tendency of any change would have been in preoiBely the opposite direction, and the minds of courtiers agitated and racked by inventions of splendor. The ready resource of a despot is to challenge the awe and admiration of those who do not come to court through the dazzling splendor of those who do. The pensions which he bestows upon his favorites, and which he knows will be expended in a display redounding to his own honor and glory, are, under the rule of an autocrat, the merely prudent investment of bis surplus treasure. Those, however, who have Quaker notions of simplicity of attire will not think that the Lord Chamberlain has done muoh more than abolish coats and breeches which the meddle some caricaturists had already made laugh able. People who approach her Majesty the Queen must still do so in a kind of uniform. Some of our readers may be interested to know that the new oourt Bait is to be a "dark colored cloth dress coat, with gold-embroidered collar, cuffs, and pooket-naps, a white waistcoat, dark trousers of the same color aa the coat, with a gold-laoe stripe." The sword is to be fondly adhered to; the cocked hat is to be affeotionally retained, and the beloved white neck-cloth by no means to be discarded. In a moment of misguided rapture we sup posed that the breeohea were gone forever, but we una that it is only at levee that the trow sers may be worn. At the drawine-room. breeches are still to flourish in all their priml- .i -ii i . i . . i .11 . live uurermuuu; wuue or oiacK buk siouK ings, shoes, nd gilt backles must still sym bolize the awe with which Majesty is supposed to be approached. It is touching, however, to notice a tender ness, even while these rode innovations are officially permitted, for the feelings and preju dices of those who, having all their lives at tended upon their B )verc-'gn in the discarded costume, might Hud themselves ill at ease in the new. Ancient persons, to whom a obane might prove fatal, are permitted still to go to oourt, It they please, "lu the gaise of bir Anthony Absolute in the play." This oonoes- sion having bn made, we hope within a cen tury at leaBt another may be reasonably ex pected. Why, aa the breeohea are to be lefc to the discretion of the presented, are the "cocked-hat and sword" still considered to be indispensable f When every gentleman was expected to wear a sword whenever he went abroad, there was no absurdity in oarrying that weapon upon the thigh; but the blade now is the distinctive mark of a soldier, and of a soldier upon servioe. Why require paaoe- mi people to put it on staid country gentle men who never set a squadron iu a field, and city grocers who never served except in the militia J As for the cocked-hat, we do not know that we have anything to say. What are called reforms in hats seem to be merely changes from one Kind of ugliness to another. and we begin to suspeot that any covering for the head is incompatible with human dignity Broad-brims, stove-pipes, wide-awakes, chim ney-pots, Jar bats, silk hats, high crowns, low crowns, bats of every hue and hats of every configuration, are all as absurd as swallow-tailed coats, and a great deal more unoom fortable. So far as appearanoea are con cerned, we believe that anvthinir hidln? the brow and hair must necessarily be considered &B covering something essential to the best appearance of a man. Any hat, after it has bten a little while out of fashion, seems ridi culous. The ladies have pretty much given up bonnets, and the improvement in their appearance has been wonderful, although the gain is no doubt at the oost of health. But nobody seems capable of devising a hat which shall be at once warm, light, and elegant Perhaps it is as well, therefore, to fall baok upon the cocked-hat as being the oldest and the ugliest. We are sorry that poor Mr. Maroy is not here to enjoy the triumph of his republi can views or tne aoauraity or court dresses. Poor Mr. Buohanan, too, if he were now in England, might go to oourt without having made himself the slave of the tailor. It is not likely that tbe strictest Secretary of State will quarrel with tbe new patterns at St. James and thus a fruitful source of irritation and coireepondence is removed. Mr. ti lad stone's Victory. from tht N. T. Timet. Mr. Gladstone has at length brought the first stage of his arduous task to a triumphant termination. Ilia Irish Cbuica bill was read a second time in the House of Common on Tuesday night by the dedaw"t) vote of 368 to 250 the majority, 118, being identical in number with tht full liberal majority in tbe Honse. There are sveil seats vacant, and aa tht-re are always a good many "pairs" on such occabiens, it follows that the vote must have been very nearly a full one. There waa no flinching ou either side. The Tories fought their hopeless battle with sullen obstinacy, and without loss from desertion, and the Liberals proved true to a man to their hustings pledges; none of the "wiak-kneed" members of the party, if suoh there bf, made the cer tainty of victory an excuse for absence, and the deafening cheers that burst forth at the close of their leader's final appeal showed that they were heart and soul in the cause, and not dragged unwillingly along by party tit-s. The triumph is a Bigual one; and the fact that the suooess of the Liberals has been gene rally regarded as a matter of oerUinty for seve ral mcnths should not be sntlered to lead one to underestimate the importance of the viotory they have now aotuallr aohleved. When Parliament met, the Tories were evidently not entirely destitute of hope. There might be disFensions In the Cabinet; Mr. Gladstone might bring forward an immature or imprao tioatle measure; he might commit some rash indiforetion whloh would alienate a large por tion of his party snob, were the "things that might have been," out of which the Tories were then busily engaged in ooustruotlng cas tles lu the air. It was not till tbe night of Mr. Gladstone's marvellous introductory Speech, iu whloh a grand and statesmanlike 8ohtm.neoeBsarily burdened with an almost unparalleled intrioaoy of detail, was laid by bim before the House, without, as Mr. Dis raeli himself confessed, "a single needless phrase," that hope deserted the breasts of his opponents, It is evident from the abstracts ef the debate that have reached us from day to dy r the cable, that tbe Tories were nsr. lysed by the senae of the hopelessness of their jiumuuu. mi. x.oiiibu cod Lined himself to a 1-1 . I 1 ! It 1. m a few general remarks In opposition to the prinolple of the bill, and all the other chief tains, with the exoeption of Sir Stafford North cote and Mr. Gathorne Hardy, weraabBnlntM silent. They dared not even take th. . gressive by moving an abstract condemnatory resolution, or an amendment Igflallintr Ilia provisions or machinery of the bill. They sullenly divided against the second raAint and met their fate in dignified silence. Parliament has now artioarned until Anrll 3, when the struggle will be renewed iu Com mittee of the Whole. The Tories may attempt, by continual harassing attacks on details, to drive the third reading so far into the Besslou as to give the Lords an excuse for rejecting it on the gronna oi msumoienoy oi time lor dis cussion. But we doubt if such tactics could prove successful, and we are certain that those interested in the temporalities or the Irish Church can never expect again to get suoh good terms as those offered them in Mr. Glad stone's admirably-designed and equitable measure. It they succeed in postponing a settlement for another year, so muoh the worse for them. We are inclined to fancy that both they and their nolitioal leaders will see this, and that the bill will be suffered to be come a law with little further opposition than a series of formal registrations of protests by its opponents. The New Tcmire-ol-Ofllce Bill. From tht if, Y. World. It the substitute for the Tenure-of-Offloe bill reported by the Judiciary Committee of the benate, and oarred through that body by a vote of 47 to 10 on Wednesday, should become a law, President Grant will be outwitted aud circumvented. The difficulty, ou his side, lies in the fact that he is pursuing au object which it would be an indeoorum in him to avow. The reasons for repeal which he has put forth are only pretexts. The Senate bill is admirably adapted to meet those sham reasons, and at the same to frustrate his real object. What General Grant wants is the abso lute power of removal, to be held in reserve as a means of foroing his renomination by the Republican party in 1872 This is a motive which he cannot confess. In insisting ou the repeal of the law, he has affected an ucwiilingnesa to make suspensions for which Le would be compelled to as sign reasons. In many cases he could give no reasons supported by tenable proofs, a'lhonth convinced in his own mind that the officer was dishonest or incompetent. He has pretended, in conversation, that he was un willing to subject himself to the mortinoation of suspending i doers ou mere suspicion, and vet be compelled to make oharres when he had none to make resting on positive evidence. The Senate, in the absence of tangible proofs, would be likely to overrule him; and he does not wish to inour the inoriiiioation of trump ing up charges whioh he cannot sustain, lie has insisted on the right of removal upon his own opinion of the unfitness of the oilioer, as the only way to reaoh rogues canning enough to furnish no handle for tpecifio, circumstan tial charges, and inoapablea whose inefficiency is not so glaring that he can make out a strong cate against them. To gain this power, he has Insisted on an absolute repeal of the law; on a restoration of the authority exercised by his predecessors for three-quarterB of a cen tury. The Senate, with consummate oraft, has devised a bill which meets his alleged reasons, but, at the same time, thwarts his real ob jects, lie has asked exemption from the necessity of preferring charges against officers wbcm he wishes to displace; and the new bill exempts him from preferring charges, but leaves him as powerless to make absolute re movals as he is under the present law. It is said that the Senators have even proposed to practise a refinement of satirical courtesy, by conferring with the r resident and asking htm to point oat in what respeot, if any, he deems the new bill unsatisfactory. As his alleged ob lectiuu to the present law has been obviated, and as be dare not state where it really pinches, -the proposed consultation is an ironical mockery of his motives. ay the new bill, the rresident oau suspend officers, but not remove them. If the Senate does not sanction his susDensions. the sua pended officers are entitled to resume their places at the end or the next session oi the Senate, and proceed to perform their duties as if nothing had happened. Aooording to former praotioe under the Constitution, before tbe Tenure-of-Offloe bill was passed, the re movals made by the President were absolute and final. Although the Senate might refuse to confirm successors, Its refusal did not re store the ousted offioers. Once put out by the Presidential fiat, they could never get baok. If their temporary successors were not con firmed, the consequence was simply a new vacancy en the adjournment of the Senate, whioh vacancy the President could again fill by new temporary appointments. These held coed until the close of the next session of the Senate, and bo on until the end of the Presidential term, unless the Senate saw fit to confirm the President's appointments. Bat under tbe new bill every officer has a rever sionary interest in his office, which falls baok to bim aa Boon as the Senate adjourn, unless tlat body either confirms his successor or approves of his suspension. The power of tbe President will be last as muoh ciroum periled as it is under the present Tenure-of- uinoe aot, lie can, indeed, suspend without preferring any charges; but, on the other hand, the Senate can reinstate the officer without passing upon the validity of any charges. The benate is to be just as free to act on its own mere pleasure in re storing an cflioer, as the President is to aot ou his mere pleasure in suspending him Under tbe present Tenure-of-Offloe aot, the Benate is obliged to oonsider and pass upou tbe PreBideiit'a charges against an officer. It must decide that they aft insufficient, or he cannot be restored. Under the new bill the offioer will be restored by the mere omhsion of the Senate to aot. The thing ia inst aa long as it is broad. No charges are to be made on the one bide; none are to be const dered on the other. The Presideat oan sua pend officers by his mere will; tbe Benate oan restore them by its mere will, and even by its mere Inaotion. The President, therefore, oan displace no offioer except for a brief period, Lie can aippiace no officer at an, except la a recess of the Senate. Now let ub ornsider what the bearing of this new bill will be on the object whioh General Grant has chiefly at heart the power 10 wieia me reaerai patronage to paoK a na tional convention and force his renomination Suspensions from office in the summer and fall of 1871 would avail him nothing, as he would have so power to keep the suspended officers out, or their temporary suooessers in. up to tbe meeting of the Republican National Convention. If he attempted to pack the convention by his sew appointees, Congress might adjourn before the convention met, and their displaced predecessors would all be re stored. If he refrained from making suspen sions, and attempted to paok the convention vj vperauag on the fears of the incumuents, mo auempi would be equally futile. Con gress will meet the first of December, 1871, ana ueneral Grant oau make no" suspensions while it is iu sesBioa. The nominating con vention oonld be appointed to meet before tbe adjournment, and after General Grant had been supplanted by a rival, his power of sus pension could not help him 11 is clear, therefore, that the new bill is no more favor able to his ultimate bnt uuavowed objeot, tban is the Tennre-of-Offlce act on whoBe re peal he has so stiflly insisted.
