"7, Pro- to be yh abby tri k It tLTght e.oe resident a decisive anthoritr In the matter of removals and ena ienaleiiB from office, does no such thing; but that in the case of a suspension from office mon which, within a limited time, the Senate shall hare taken no action, such suspension lapses and the suspended officer Is reinstated. Looking at the new act for Its own interpreta tion, it is a oase that might puzzle a Philadel phia lawyer, whether the law has been changed from tweedltdee to tweedledum, or from tweedledum to tweedledee. Bat this compromise was IIobBon'B ohoioeto the President; for It was either this or the old Andy Johnson law, which not only tied him fast In regard to removals and suspensions, fcut fastened his Cabinet upon him for his whole term, subject in any removal to the con sent of the Senate. Now, as General Grant has intimated pretty broadly that when he Shall beoome dissatisfied with any Cabinet offloer he will make a ohange, even to the ex tent, if neoessary, of changing the whole Cabi net every week till he shall have found the right materials, the full liberty given him here by the Senate in this new law is an im portant point gained. Bat the difficulty aurgested in the matter - of supensions during the absence of the Senate still re mains. The President may assume that the law means tweedledum; but if the Senate say that it means tweedledee they have him, or they bring him to an issue for the Supreme Court. Here it is. We will suppose that the Senate has adjourned and that John Smith, an unsatisfactory internal revenue oflioer in a good whisky distriot, has been, in the absenoe of the Senate, suspended, and that John Jones has been put in his plaoe. We will next suppose that the Benate has reassembled, and that this suspension, according to law, has been reported to the Senate, but that the session has closed without any aotion upon the oase. Then it is claimed that, under this new law, Smith, the man suspended, goes back to his offioe, and Jones, the President's substitute, goes out. Bat what does this signify if the President Bhall oonolude to stick to Jones ? In this emergenoy the Senate, on reassembling, will be waited upon by Smith and informed of his continued exclusion from his whisky inspec tions in defiance of the Senate's construction of the law. A resolution of inquiry upon the President will then be necessary in behalf of Smith. What then ? All that the President will have to do will be to say to the Benate that acoording to his construction of the law Jones is the right man. It will be remembered that President Johnson found in one of the Reconstruction laws a hole through which (as Daniel O'Connell said of the holes in the laws of Parliament) you might drive a ooaoh and four, and that Johnson did dtive his ooaoh and four, labelled "My polioy," through the hole aforesaid. This done, the two houses of Con- 5, ress, under a special law provided to head off ohnson. speedily reassembled and passed an explanatory law, tilling up the hole in question ana heading oil Johnson over his veto, as nsual. In the oase of Jones the only alternative to the Senate will be the same thing a law ex planatory of this new Tenure-of-Offioe act but if they attempt it they will be swamped In the Bouse and the President will have the iotory. The case is clear enough. The President must execute the laws; but where there is manifestly a trick of pettifogging in a law oapable of two or three constructions, the President must execute it as he understands it. In doing this, in default of any explana tory law, he may get up a case for the Su preme Court, where, as that court now stands, all this offioe legislation trenching upon the unbroken praotioe of the Government down to the tying up of Johnson would doubtless be pronounoed unconstitutional and void. It would be a great thing for the country, too, If General Grant wtre to seize the first oppor tunity to make a case for the Supreme Court which would result in defining the constitu tional rights of the Executive and the metes and bounds of Congress. Tbe (Jualitj or Merc Trom (fee N. T. Tribune. The opinions of Mr. Senator Cameron on most questions are entitled to great respect, lie is the oldest Senator in Congress, and, as the War Seoretary who first saw the necessity of aocepting the aid of the negro in crushing the Rebellion, his judgment has greater weight than that of most of the men in our national legislature. We regret to see, how ever, that he ranges himself on the side of the polioy of vengeance. Ills speech in the seoret session the other day on the question of con firming the nomination of General Longstreet Will, no doubt, be acceptable to a great many f our people. We have the merest abstraot of that speeoh, which comes through the whispers of Senators who were present; and though it is hardly fair to make any discus sion upon what may, after all, turn out to be the gossip of the WaahiDgton lobby, it seems pretty oertain that Senator Cameron has taken ground against the confirmation, and that he bases his action on oertain doings and Sayings of the General while he was comman der of an army corps in Pennsylvania. We echo all that Senator Cameron may say about the sins of the Rebellion. There is no censure too save to ha naasad udou men who took up arms against the Government; but of u me members of that mighty conspiracy, uoee wno observed the least were the mn Who commanded its armies. We do not re member an instance in wr.inii a nrnminent leader of the secession movement rose to enil nenoe in the military service of thrConfede xaoy. They were speedily swept away by the advent of men more gifted in war, and pos sessed of a higher and loftier courage. What remains 01 me southern Confederacy as a his torio reconeouon is distributed among the names 01 iee, ana Jackson, and Beauregard, and Johnston, and Lonestreet. With th ception perhaps of General Lee, all these men were dragged into the Rebellion, they had nnthinor to do with nUnninor It. if they had been permitted to express their opinion in tbe counous 01 tne Uebel leaders during the winter of secession, they would gladly have remained with the old flag, ft was the nolitical parties, the desperate en deavor of ramblers in polltios, of men like Wise, and Davis, and Wifffall, and Benjamin. that overcame the chivalrous impulses of soldiers like James Longstreet and btoaowall Vaokson. These men went into the Rebellion as sol fliera.. They fought us with the bravery of t allant men: ther risked their lives for the ptrnggie, and stood by it until the last mo rrftit, while tbe real conspirators uurrird to Knnje or sbrai.k lute bomb-proofs. When became of tbe IM-elllon ws really a lost rau.f, the were tbe first to acknowledge that fact, and .We the war they have, as, a elasa, Inn belter cltiirua, more thoroughly reoon .ihd to ihe Government, more anxious for ctaoe and union. The ial malcontents of the outh are the men who planned seoejsion daring the peaceful dvs of Uaohanan, and who avoided war when war enme upon them, (teceral LorgFtrvrt was a rations soldier; he fought for his cnH with the conscience of a ruan who believed in it, and who carried his life in his hatids. lie was the recond in oom tnand whtn Lie surrendered. . lie might have followed the example of Lee, crept into a sort of rttirtnuut. lookirg upon reconstruction with apathy, and saying nothing toward! pacification and reunion, and so retained in the South a commanding popularity. He took higher ground. Although he knew that tbe step would bring odium upon himself, he promptly embraotd the principles of the Re publican party, and gave all the inflaenoe of his illustrious name towards the fullest and most perfeot restoration of the Union. Uf all the Rebel commanders General Lougstreet is the most unpopular with the Rebels of the South. His unpopularity, however, is only for a day; in another generation it will be seen how truly wise and great he has been. Now, what Bhall we do with suoh a man ? Senator Cameron thinks we owe him punish ment, isolation, vengeanoe. President Grant believes that by appointing him to an office in New Orleans he gives the best pledge to the true men of the South that he meaus to deal generously with them, and welcome them back into the Union. Senator Cameron's polk y is simply that of passion. President Grant's is the highest statesmanship and wis dom. The men who fought with General Longstreet are our brothers in many re3peots, our kinsmen, our fellow-citizens, the men upon whom we must depend in future wars, the leaders of many large communities in the South, who are, for weal or woe, to be our fellow-citizens, under the protection of our flag, and to undergo all the duties of citizen ship. If we follow the polioy of General Cameron we only isolate this large community, and say to the Southern people: "The crime of rebellion is an unpardonable sin; you live with us, but you are not of us; you are aliens, and yon have life itself only by a mistaken mercy." The President says: "The past is buried with the past: in war we showed ven geance, in peace we show magnanimity. Now, if you will come baok to us in good faith, we welcome you as our brothers and our fellow citizens." This is a small office. We presume, so far as the mere gathering of the customs is con cerned, General Longstreet is a better man than nine-tenths of the people of New Orleans who will be acceptable to Governor Brownlow and General Cameron. Lie will do his duty; he will serve the country, and no public inte rest will be injured by his holding this office. That is the praotical consideration. A higher thooght is, that by the confirmation of Gene ral Longstreet, nothing remains of the Rebel lion but a bitter memory. The duty of the present is peace and loyalty. If you intend to keep the dark memories alive you will in voke the vengeance of the Government; if you mean to forget the past and accept the re sponsibility of the present, assisting the restoration of the Union, and giving to the Constitution and the laws a sincere and ear nest support, then you are our fellows in citizenship, and share with us the blessings of the Union. Senator Cameron can do no wiser thing than use his great inflaenoe in impressing this lesson upon the South, It is a short-sighted policy that would rebuke Pre sident Grant for nominating General Long street to an office. We can hardly think that the Senate will refuse to confirm this selec tion, and our only regret is that it has not been done as promptly and cordially as the nomination was made. Tbe llegnlar Army. From the N. T. Timet. The "Plea for the Regulars," which a cor respondent sends to the Times, is, if some what bitter in spirit and personal in allusion, a proper answer to the disgraceful army de bates of the last month in the House. Bach displays of temper and spleen against pro fessional officers as those of Generals Schenok and Logan, suoh effrontery as that of General Butler, suoh buffoonery as that of Mr. Windom, were as unnecessary to the decision of the question at issue as they were unj ust to the memory of gallant aeeds ana gallant dead. Discussing the size of the standing army and advocating reduotion on grounds of economy. is one thing; jesting that army officers, who wear the honorable grey hairs of a noble, lire lone service, and whose bodies bear the marts of wounds and hardships endured tor tne saxe of the country, "never die, dm live 10 araw their pay" that is quite a dinerent tning. We can have armv lecislation and army reduotion without malignant detraction and vlttmeration. General Bntler's charge that "the regular officers had all found soft plaoes at the end of the war." was a brazen as it was prejudiced It is not for any man, however great, nis ser vices, to sneer at sucn 01 tne living as ruv, hrmim.

If any of our readers happened to overlook or neclect the reply of Commissioner Wells to Jndce Kelley. printed in the World of Thursday, they owe it to themselves to look nn the Daner and peruse that effective doou ment with more than ordinary attention. Mr. Wells belongs to a class of publio instructors whose productions no man who aims to be Intelligent can afford to slight. He is no theorist; but he supplies with great affluence the data on whloh all sound eoonomioal theo ries must rest. He has a keen appreciation of the value of faots, an indefatigable diligenoe In collecting them, and a conscientious fidelity and; aocuraoy in reporting them, whloh make um writings equally valuable to mose wno adopt and to thoie who dissent from his oon- elusions, provided they are lovers of truth. TJ!s faots are bo frefh; they are collided from so la'ge a circumference of Investigation, re arranged in such lucid order, are so prtluent to pendiug questions, that, Interpret them a w will, we are behind the intelligence of tbe age if we do not study them. Kven when they merely ooifltm opinions which we prvhmly hel'i, they so relieve tboe opinions of vague lies, aud give them suoh life, fruahunsa, aud forw, and euch sattMautory deflnitene'i of outline, that our olinat and tritest lruprns- flnua acquire something of the gloss of no telty. The copious army of facts and Hta'.Utioi iu Mr. V ells' recent letter bear chiellr up'in thu oiiuio wLiou he expressed in hU annutl report (and which Judge Kelley had the hardi hood to dispute) that the rich are growing richer and the poor poorer; that the wages of labor bear a smaller proportion to the coat of living than previous to the war. This is, of course, a different question from the benxfloial er detrimental effects of the present tariff; but Judge Kelley is a high tariff man, the mouth vieoe and advooate of the Pennsylvania pro tectionists, and, despairing of a plausible at tack on Mr. Wens' exposure of our absurd tariff, he tried to diminish his oredit by an attempt to show that he had misrepresented the present condition of the laboring classes. Kven if this attempt had been successful, it would have been little to the purpose; for Mr. Wells might have been entirely oorreot in his exposure of tbe tariff, even though he had been mistaken in bis opinion That the distri bution of wealth is different now from what it was before the war. But he has borne down and demolished Mr. Kelley on the collateral question, with an accumulation of facts which must make that gentleman repent his temeri ty. iNever was a pretender to statistical aooa raoy more thoroughly riddled. In a production of whloh every part is so thorough and able, it may be difficult to say which branch of the evidenoe is most conclu sive; but it strikes ns that we have seldom seen anything more skilfully done than the refutation of Mr. Kelley's argument founded on the deposits in savings banks. Kelley had argued that, because the amount of deposits in savings banks is greater than it was in 18C0, it therefore follows that the laboring classes are more prosperous. Mr. Wells does not dispute the fact of increase; but he shows. by exact statisllos, preolsely what tbe lnorease Is, and proves that is altogether less thau would have accrued from the interest of the money, if the deposits of 18C0 had been left without a dollar of addition. If there had not been a single new depositor; if the depositors of 18C0 had not put an additional dollar in anj savings DanK, ana naa merely leu tne money then deposited to draw interest, Mr. Wells shows that the amount in the savings banks would be mucb greater than it is at present. This alone would explode Kolley's reasoning, and turn hi facts against him; but Mr. Wells does not let him oil so easily, lie shows that the motives for making such deposits are much greater, where the laboring classes have been able to make any savings, than it was pre vious to the war. Mechanics and other thrifty people naturally buy houses and lots so soon as they have accumulate! enough to make their first payments. They take their money from tbe savings banks for this purpose, and use their future earnings to pay oil their mortgages. Bat the price of houses has been so exorbitant of late years as to disoouraze that kitd of investments by the poorer olasses; and the consequence id, that nearly all who have had any surplus have deposited it in the savings banks. It follows that the pro portion of their savings thus deposited is much greater than at any former period. and yet the total deposits are less than they would have been if the amount in 18G0 had been left to draw interest, and not a dol lar added since. But Mr. Wells does not leave the argument even here. He shows that the depositors in savings banks are no longer confined chiefly to persons in moderate cir cumstances. The exemption of those insti tutions from the taxes which fall so heavily upon other speoies of property, enables their depositors to get better returns than they oould from any other form of invest ment. The oonseauenoe is, that a great deal of money takes this direction whioh formerly went into other ohannels. Now, if we deduct from the money in savings banks the amount put in by these new olasses of depoaftors. and the amount wnion nas oeen kept ont of houses and lots, and the amount which represents the interest whioh would have accumulated on the deposits of . 18(50 if they had not been withdrawn, we shall nud, after makinor these deductions, that the labor ing classes have not half the means ahead whioh they had in 18G0, notwithstanding the larce erowth of population in the intervening period. The conclusion is inevitable that the lahorinff classes are not nearly so well off as thflv were eierht or nine years ago a oonolu- Sion which 18 supporiea py buuuh variety nuu accumulation of other faots presented oy air. Wells as to render doubt absurd aud denial ridiculous. Hands 01T. From tfm Tf. Y. Times.

I i . 5 would certainly nave ueen anaronioai ana ruinous. It was a device for putting the offices of the State, high and low, in the hands of adventurers and violent men. Com pared with this, military government is far preferable. If tbe State cannot be at once re constructed, the best course is to leave it to the laws as they are. Under Uenerai lirant's administration they are quite equal to the emergenoy. It should be some proof of this that he has not suggested further legislation on the subject. As it is with Mississippi so should it be with Georgia, Virginia, and Texas. The colloquy between Messrs. Sumner. Anthony, and Conk- ling, the other day, showed that the feeling in favor of leaving things as they are in all the unreoonstruoted States, and also Iu Georgia, gains ground in the Senate; and the vote of 103 to 02 on the Mississippi bill indicates the growing strength of moderate opinions in the House. Time will accelerate this tendency, now that the vigorous enforcement of the law is no longer in doubt. DRUGS, PAINTS, ETC.
