SENATE" "Thio *‘courlesy of stho Senate,” as Senalor Conkling would have it construed, s n mere cuphemism for n Senatorial conspiracy to Lreak down the power of the Excentive. It I3 nnnonnced with some degree of definitness that the senlor Senator from, New York pro- poges to address the country from his sent, i which he will fustify this so-ealled *cour- tosy,” und that, in the menntime, ho lsmaking o combination with the Democratic Senators which shail nssure the recognition of tho rule that no porson nominated to oftice shnll be confirmed when ' the Senators from the State whero the ofticinl vacaney exists shall unite in apposition to Lhe confirmation. . The Constitution provides that tho Presi- dent “shall nominate, and, by and with tho advice nml consent of the Senate, shall ap- point* all ofticers of the United States whosoe appointment 1s not otherwlise provided for by the Constitution. By the oporation of the “courtesy of the Scnate,” this constitutional provision would bealtered without the nssent of the American people so that Executive appointments shail be made and ratitied, not by the Senale, but by two Senators, and that appointments maoy bo rejectod and defented by the objection of two Senators. The “eonrtesy ' In the caso consists in passing around this high and extra constitutionnl priviiego among the Senators according to tho location of ofllices. When a New York Govornment ofticer Is to bo appolnted the President nust act* with tho advico and con- sent*” of the two Senators from that State, and, the Senators from Pennsylvania, Georgln, Louistana, and the other States must stand by this rule In order that thoy niny exercise the snmo high privilege when their turn conies. ‘Che practieal operation of such a rule as this would complotely subvert the theory of the Ameriean Governwent and nullity the plaln intent of the Amerlean Constitution, Instend of lodging the executive power in n single tiend, such power would be exorelsed by o trlumvirate; and, as twoof the members of this trhwmvirate wonlld be copstantly changing, the executive branch ot the Gov ermment, would be an unsettfed oligarehy, The peenlinr featwre of such an oligarehy would be that the affalrs ot the Genernl Gov- ernment would be adininistered and directed by n different power In every one of the varl- ous States. Thus in New York the Govern- ment would be administered by Messrs, Conkling and Dlatt, in Pennsylvania by Messrs, Cameron and Mitehell, i Georgia by Messrs Brown and 10111, In South Caroling by Mesars, Hnmpton and Butler, and so on. In all euses the President, belng aminority in the shifting triumvirate, would bo simply o figure-hénd, and practically without any power or control over tha heterogeneous, divergent, and discordant administration of Government nifairs, ‘The prasent extra sesslon of tho Senate cortainly looks as though that body might become permanent. ‘Thore nre' no signy of adjournment, Senntors on both sldes are expressing overy day thelr ‘expectation of re- umining In Wushlngton over summer and up to the regular sossion of Congreas next win- ter. After the regular seaston nextspring the Senate may again bo enlled togother in extrn session, and thus go on in perpotulty. Indeed, this courso will be necessary.If the “eourtesy of the Sennte” shall boestab~ lished in such manner that two Sonators ul ways net not only as a part, but ns the con- trolling power, of tha executivoe branch of the Government. So long as the affairs of the Governmont are to bo adminlstered in all the diiferent States under the direction of different mon, to whom the Presldent 1a sub ordinate, thesy responsible rulers ought cor- tninly to romaln at the Natlonal Capital clothed with all the appurtenances of their authiority, N 1t 1s n question whother any combination in the United Stutes Senate shall be permitted to usurp the privilege of amending the Cun- stitution of the Unlted States to sult tholr own purpose, Tho Constitutlon itselt vro- vides that two-thikds of both Ilouses may proposo smenduments, which shall only come Into forca when they shull have beon ratifled by the Lemslatures of threo-fourths of the soveral States. But fu this nstance a bare mnjorily of one Jlonse proposes to usurp the authority to mmend by agreving upon o * courtesy,"” whdrcby tho two Senators from any ane State, acting togother, shall bo com- potent to exerelso tho function of the whole Senate, and undermine and destroy the oxs eeutive prerogative of appointment. Whoen. ever the Sonata shinll avosvedly enter upon n treasonuble scheme of this nature Jt will bo thne for the Amerlcan people to Invado that body nud revolutionize Its mamburship, By moaus of **courtosy * & wilt always bo possiblo for the Opposition, party fn the United States Sennto to organlze effective antagonlsin to the existing Adminlstration, Glven u Republican Presidaiit, evory Staten the.

This duty of 50 eonts per pound and 35 par cont ad valorem was submitied to by the con- sumers for many years, It was practicaily prohibitory, Finally, some one was bright enangh to import some woolen stockings, and tendered payment of 35 per cent ns the only duty legally required on woolen stock- ings. Lventunlly the Supreme Court of the United Stntes decided that the only legal duty demanded by law on woolen stockings wns 33 por cent, and this deelsion, necording to Senator Blalr, has plunged New England fnto such gloom that' the country will be rufned unless President Uerfleld convens Congress and have thotax of 50 cents a pound relevied upon all Amerlenn consumers of woolen stoekings, and the monoy derived from the tax to bo pald over to the manufact- urers, : Under this declston ot tho Supreme Court it would scem that caps, gloves, leguing, mitts, socks, wove shirts and drawers worn by %0 milltons of Amerlcan men, women, and children may hereafter nlso be.lmported without puying tho extra 50 cents per pound duty, but by simply paying the 85 per cent ad valorem, which ot itselt is n pretty stiff protection. The majority, If not all, themen, women, and ehildren who wear these goods will teel very grateful that they have been relieved of such an enormous tax for tho benefit of Now England mannfacturers, The pretense of proteeting .American Inbor by any such tax ns this Is too prepesterous, “These goods aro made by watorpower and slmple machinery, the lubor belng principally ihat of females and children, These females and children are French Canadian [nmilies who migrate into the New England Lowns, and who cnn afford to work at wages too suntl to retaln any longor the New England glrls.
