The repealers have hevn cheated. The bill

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

Mr. Wells' Confutation of Judge Kelley.
From IM N, Y. World.
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

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.
