A message was here received from the House, Smendments to the bitt ‘repeating’ the amendments use re; tenure. of-office bill. rms Mr. Trumbull moved that the Senate insist on its amendments, and ask for a Committee of Conterence, Mr. Grimes moved that the Senate recede from its amendments. Mr. Davis made some remarks in favor of the motion ot Mr. Grimes, coatinuing until one o'clock, when the Vice President stated that the unfinished business—being the sup- plementary currency bill—was before the Sen- ate. On motion of Mr. Trumbull, the unfinished business was laid aside informally, and “dr. Davis proceeded with his remarks. Mr. Trambuall said that there seemed to be im the minds of some, particularly outside of the Senate, a misapprehension of the effect of the Tenure-of-Office law. He would, as briefly as possible, state the power of the President ‘under the Constitution without this act, with bis Tenure-of-Office act, and wiih the act as modified by theSenate. i! wa: apparent, by a Teferegce to the Constitution, that the Presi- dent cn appoint no one to office without the moval of an smcompetent or inefficien efficer, and hence any power which the Pree. nt may have over Must be given by law inder the clause of the Consti- tution, relative to the filling of vacancies, the President had any power to create vacaucies The President's power to fill vacancies daring the recess is S7 when the vacancy comes preepeoeey. is mot made by act of the ent. In the absence of law, all that the President could do was to give a commission, which would expire at theend of the nextses- sion of the Senate; and to prevent any one holding on atterward, without the consent of the Senate. a law was passed forbidding thy payment of salary to any such person. Tbi+ ‘was all the ident could do before tenure-of-offce act was 5 modifications which jas: been adopted by the Senate were designed to prevent any vaceucies existing when the Sen- ate adjourned. Mr. T. concladed by express. ing the opinion that the desire was to give the President every power which hb? should have— all essential toan efficient administration o! the Government; and if they would cnly ap. — this matter calmly it would be settled joniously. He ited the efforts which had been made tostir up strife and rivalry between the two Houses. He believed tha’ with a committee of conference everything could be settled satisfactorily between the two Houses, and the Executive left as free as he could desire. Mr. Morton thought the bill as modified amounted to nothing, and why should they struggle for a shadow. It was said that this restriction was only for a bad Presi for a good President, aad a bad President would not be restrained by the bill at all: he could suspend three or four times if he pleased, as there was no legai restraint on him, but Only amoral one. What use then was it for the Senate to insist upon its amendmerts ? Mr. a could not comprehend the arguments of the Senator from Iilineis, (Trum- bull,) whether this modified bill was ce or shadow it ht to be swept away. Whether it came & caucus or not, it mattered not tohim. That it was the wor< of caucus did not makeit right. He supposed of course it would go toa Committee of fer- ence, and he desired to read for the instracuoa of that committee an extract fram Englosh bis- tory of which our times just mow formed a erfect parallel. Mr. S. then read trom the istory of Charles the First, that he was obsti- pate where he should bave made concessions, and when he should have stood firm he yielded, &c. He had no more to say, he hoped Uhese wosds of warning wouid not be losst upon the Ocnference Uommittee,that this corrapt and arbit power which this body had to itself would be given up, and this law shadow and substance would be put out of the wa Mr Howard said upon this most momen- tur bject they should oo carefully, cau- and deliberately aud submit ii to a Committee of Vonference. He could not yote for the absolate repeal of this act. He believed it® comstitutional and salatary act,and the Seaate should not surrender the supervision which it now exercises.
