The motion was agreed to, and the House proceeded to con- sider the bill as in commitiee of the whole, Mr. Hale (Me.) in the chair. An amendment was offered by the commit- tee and adopted, striking out so much of the second sect god gested the cpmueesionces to own. property of the gpsessed value of at reast 00. * Mr. Cox (Ohio) offered an amendment pro- viding that the commissioners shail be ap pointed by the President, by and with the ad- vice and consent of the Senate. Mr. Cox said he offered this amendment be- cause he did not believe that Con vad the constitutional right to deprive the EresHicat ot this appointment and take it apen itseif, Mr. Biackburn said he supposed that that constitutional Spiection had been exploded he other day by the speech of the gendeman from Georgia, Mr. Hartridge. Mr. Townshend offered as a substitute an amendment providing for the election of the commissiouers ina joint convention of the two houses of Congress, and authorizing each Senator and Representative to vote either tor three commissioners or to cast three votes for one single candidate. He said the adoption of his amendment would give a fair chance to rity in Congress to have a voice in selection of the commissioners. . Garfield hoped that gentlemen would bot embarrass the passage of this bill by in- sisting that Congress shouid elect the commis. siontrs of the District. Congress had not the constitutional power to do this. The appoiat- ment of all officers was vested by the constitu. ion in the President and in the heads of de- partments in certain cas could exercise the appointin, cers of the District of Columbia it could do so with regard to officers in the territories, and certainly no one had yet been heard to claim that that power could be exercised, or should be exercised, by Congress. The appointment to office was an executive function, and he hoped the House would not undertake this wuty. With all due respect to the gentleman vin Tilinois, Who ever before heard of a prop. tion to place the Senate and House on an equality in such a manner? There were only iwo ways in which these officers should be selected. One by an election by the people, and the other by the appointment of esident. There Was no law fora joint and if Congress power as to offi- convention of the two houses for this purpose, nor vuld the appointment be made constitu: ly by any one except the President. Hairis (Va.) inquired if that was the case. how it happened that Congress could delegate the power of election to the citizens? Mr. Gartieid replied that that an entirely diflerent thing. Congress could create the office and direct how it should be filled, but it could not fill the office. r. Blackburn failed to see any unconstitu- ity in this matter. The Commissioners ‘the District were not Sunder this bill. He was surprised especially at Mr. Garfield’s argument, for that gentleman had voted to deprive the President of the power to appoint. the public printer. Besides, another article of the Constitution declare that no member of Congress should be ap- pointed to any civil office while serving as such a member, and the gentleman from Ohio Was a regent of the Smithsonian Institution, which was certainly a civil office. Last year the electoral commission was created, With Judicial powers, and the gentleman from Ohio and other gentlemen were elected members of that commission by this House. The House then exercised a right to elect toa civil office, and it was too late now for the gentleman to plead the unconstitutionality of the House exercising the right to elect this officer. Mr. Thompson argued that if the power was exercised at ail it should be in one body, but the bill proposed that the House should’ elect one and the Senate another, and that the President should detail one. Mr. Blackburn said Congress had exclusive jurisdiction over the affairs of this District, and under that jurisdiction it could elect the commissioners in the manner proposed. He called attention to the fact thatin the pave- ment of Pennsylvania avenue Congress not only created the commission, but declared wiio the commissioners shonld be by name. Mr. Thompson thought it was depriving the President of one of his prerogatives. Mr. Blackburn replied that the President had no original power of appointment in any case, All the power he possessed in that direc- tion was what was conferred upon him by Congress. The Congress could say whether the President should appoint, and it could atso Orelare that it would choose these officers it- Mr. Townshend defended his amendment and asked the House to adopt it. Mr. Hanna thought this power should be lodged where it properly belonged. The com- missioners should either appointed by the President or elected by a direct vote of the people. He was opposed to the clause also Which required a ten years’ residence. That proposition was too unrepublican to receive his sanction. He believed that there should be a more reasonable term of residence. Is this a mere plan to make a place for some old resi- dent—lor some old fogy who had not kept pace with the times? ated that it was anti-republican. We should as near as pos- sible make the government of this District a model republican government. Again, the Dill was objectionable because it declares that the President shall only detaila certain officer. He could not go back to his people after voting for a bill so manifestly anti-republican as this. Mr. Burchard argued that the fourth sec. tion of the bill practically made these commis- sioners officers of the United States, and the appointment should therefore be vested in the President. Mr. Mayham argued that the constitutional point was not well taken. These men would not in any sense be officers of the United States, but officers of a corporation. Mr, Thompson denied the argument that the appointment could be made 28 pipponea, be- cause Congress had exclusive jurisdiction over the District. og ag had exclusive jurisdic- tion to legislate for the post-office, but does that fact confer the right on Congress to ap- pint postmasters? That had not been claimed, but it was the logical result to which such leg” islation as this would tend. 2 Mr. Mayham failed to see any analogy in the cases. Mr. Thompson said the argument was as good in one case as in the other, for Congress exercised exclusive legislation over the post- offices as well as over the District. Mr. Garfield said none would question the fact that Congress could create a corporation, but it could not name the corporators. We can create a municipal government for the District of Columbia, and may authorize the People to elect their own officers, but after we have made the jmunicipal, government the legisla- tive work is ended. The work is done, so far as the legislature is concerned. But the ap- ointing power is an executive and not a legis- lative power. We can create an office, but we cannot designate the officer. Now as to the reference about the public printer. He was here to make a confession for the republican side of the House. No one could successfully defend the act taking the appointment of that officer from the President. Congress did then that which it had not the shadow of a right to do. He (Mr. Garfield) had himself tried to have that wrong righted. The law was passed when Andrew Johnson was President, and when the republican party which had elected him saw that they were going to lose him ; but there was no authority or excuse for the act. Mr. Blackburn said he wanted to ask, in all g od humor, whether the gentleman would not like to have the law re-enacted out of a President? fear of losing another Mr. y 0- ration, and the House ie Coker becoininccnatma nies rr. a uy authority to elect these commissioners aa tt {o appoint regents of the Smithsonian esignate members of the electoral [ssi may erhend: sala Ped was a committee of in pecifi 4 Mr. Knott said it was a commission, and ittee, and there was Mr. Garfield said that the acts of the com- mission had to have the approval of Congress ore tl were valid. | Cefenders of the Banks liked that because they were abie institutions for the beneht of te country.

The latter motion was rejected, and Mr. Dunnell's motion was agreed to.

Mr. Hanna posed the ie protection of a, and no n would if Tom, Dick and Harry had the right of action against him. Mr. Buckner thought the provision avery proper one. Hanna said if the commissioner was @ defaulter, or was guilty of malfeasance in Mice, he was responsible tothe District and ndividuals. Under this a ndment if a man thought his property had been injured by an error of judgment of the commission- ers, he could bring suit and the commissioners would be embarrassed by these suits. Mr. Keifer differed with Mr. Hanna, and thought the provision a very proper one. The amendment was adopted.
