Notwithstanding the strenuous efforts matle up to this time for its repeal, the Tenurc-of-Civil-Oflices act still stand; as a law of the land. Notwithstanding the supposed desire of the President for its repeal, because of the hedge which it interposed between that functionary and those whose positions in the Government make him responsible for their acts, though he is shorn by the operations of the law of direct power over them, a large number of Senators possibly enough to defeat repeal invariably set their faces airainst anvthimr more than postponement. It is contended bv manv, that the act has had its day and uses, and that, hence, it should be repealed. We incline to this opinion. To prevent a bold bad man from filling the cilices with men of his own kidney inimical to the best interests of the government and the peo ple the law became a necessity, and was adop ted. And the action of Congress was most tri umphantly sustained by the masses, because of their utter lack of confidence in the treacher ous dolt who occupied the Presidential chair. Everybody then felt, as everybody now feels, that the President should be the head of respon sibility in the government; but everybody did not feel that the kind of responsibility which the then Presidential incumbent was so anx ious to assume was exactly the kind which meant good and not evil. On the contrary, it was as plain as the light of day, that A. J., yearned for the power and privilege of assnm ing such responsibility as looked to revolution for its aliment, and to rebels, copperheads as contradistinguished from true democrats, and lecherous partisans of the bread and butter per suasion, as his advisers and assistants in the con summation of his wickedness. But the dar of these things have gone by. A. J. has retired forever, to rc.-t and revel in his disgrace in Tennc.-see, and we cannot but look upon it that the news of the unconditional repeal of the Tenure-of-Civil-Ofllces act, will be hailed as a fue-dcjoie, from one end of the Union to the other, fired over the departure of as ar rant a knave as was ever permitted to leave an exalted portion unhung. But there is more than this in favor of the re peal of the act, passed to punish a bad man and prevent him from inflicting an injury on the country. To permit it to stand as a check upon President Grant would, in view of the circum stances surrounding its passage, be to reflect an insinuation against his integrity and against the propriety of placing that unlimited confidence in the President which the past shows him to be so richly deserving of. To postpone it for the present would not mend the matter, while to modify its provisions might, and doubtless would, only lead to complications which would throw more embarrassments in the way of a de sirable administration of the Government than the law in its present shape. The office and its responsibilities sought out General Grant, be cause of his stern integrity and undisputed fit ness, and literally fastened upon him without his consent. To be held to strict account for the manner in which he meets those responsi sibilitics is what he demands, but would it be just to meet the demand after he is left with hands tied against interference with those who should be responsible to him in subordinate capacity ? Grave Senators may find it easy to talk and vote when acting independent and without restraint; but for the President to keep officials honest and the wheels of government running smoothly, with the clogs of a law, of questionable propriety to say the least, thrown in the way, is an impossibility which should hardly be looked for. In the overwhelming majority which con ferrcd upon Gen. Grant the office of President with all is responsibilities, we think can be found the easiest solution of this question of re peal. Unlimited confidence on the part of the great mass of the true friends of the Union .North, South, Last and West, should be met with corresponding confidence on the part of Senators, which should be exhibited in their votes. 6?"cince the above was in tvpe we le2rn that the Republican Senator?, in caucus, have greed upon such modification cf the existing law, as will leave the President without embar raiment in making removals and appoint merit.. The new programme, it h said, wil coon be enacted into a law. Mr. Johnson has occasion to remember that a man's foes shall sometimes be they oi tiis own fiousetioia. Here has been the Mayor of his own town vetoing the soo thing resolve of the Aldermen to welcome their conquering hero home. Certainlv jit. jounson was in danger or such streat- ment nowhere else. Not another town in the Union could be induced to say that it wasn't glad he was out of Washington. Baltimore welcomed him. The Mayor of Philadelphia would have abandoned a dozen fishing parties for the pleasure ot seeiDg him on his way from the White V House, never to return. The Red Hot Democrats of New-York would have heat ed themselves to a seven fold radiance at every saloou in the Points District in his honor. Still the Greenville Mayor was tit ... not wnoJiy without excuse. Other towns could well afford to speed Mr. Johnson on his way from the capital. He was u't going to stay with them for the rest of his hie . Tribune. In the month of June next, the entire membership of the Methodist Church in this country, male and female, will vote upon the question of lay representation iogthe legislative assembiles of that rcli ous organization. The same question was voted upon some years ago, but the change proposed was at that time Iarelv defeated. Of late in la vor of the participation of lavmen in the church government has been develop ed, and it is highly probable that the pre sent effort to introduce it will be success ful. It seems that the Ku-Klux of Reno, Arkansas, are not thorughly reconstruc ted jet. Hon. Henry A. Millen, ex Senator of Arkansas, was shot and sever ely wounded by an assassin on the 20th ult. Mr. Millen was following his wife's remains to a steamboat at the time he was shot. The assassins seized Milieu's hat, and retainscd it cs trophy. It is barely pos sible that the cx-relcls at Jlcno have not heard the news of Grant's election NOVA SCOTIA. She is Pressing for Annexation to the United states. . A Washington correspondent gives the following item of interest : Prominent gentlemen who arrived here from Nova Scotia represent the feeling in that province iu furor of annexation to the United States as pervading almost the entire community, and rapidly in creasing in intensity. Kugland declines to release the province lrom the Dominion of Canada, into which it was drawn against the wishes and under the solemn protest of the people ; and nine-tenths of the en tire population openly declare lor annexa tion to the United States iu preforence to confederation with Canada The people arc intensely in earnest on the subject, and some of the leading pa pcrs have come out strongly in favor of a separation from England and union with the American llepublie. It is stated that the members of the local legislature, hav ing failed to obtain a repeal of the act of Confederation, arc about to corne together and apply for a release from England ; and at the same time send a delegation to ascertain what encouragement they can obtained in their eforts to become a State in the Union, llobert J. Walker and other prominent gentlemen here have been consulted on the subject, and it is understood that Mr. n alkcr, is prepar- ing a pamphlet in support of the measure, in which the great advantages to both countries to grow out of a union will be presented.

That the Uuion of StatC3 is a per petuity. 2. That the United States arc a na tion. 3. That the people of these States arc a people. 4. That the will of the people is the supreme law of the land. 5. That the laws of the land are "all the people thereof," regardless of condi tion or color. G. That the flag of the nation protects all its floats over. 7. That "State Rights" will not, in the future, as in the past, mean State suprem acy; hence, there can be no seceessioa ol a State, or State nullification of a nation al law. 8. That when the people within cer ta;u geographical limits enter as a ytate) they and their Sta raain therein. the Union State arc to re- 9. That a State, as such, cannot secede; therefore, the only way for a citizen or all the citizens of a State to get out of this Un ion, is to emigrate. 10. That if, as was claimed by the apol ogists of the great rebellion, a "State cannot be "coerced," individuals can, whether holding State offices or not. 11. That this nation in its entirety is greater than any of its parts; hence, a law or institutiou of a State must be su- bordinate to the late laws and institutions of the nation. 12.
