We are aware that the view here present 2 is not that which is genornily held by the public; but we nevertheless belicve that it fairly reflects both the letter and intent of the Co! ». Undoubtedly it has nover been ected upon from the foundation of the Government onward; and the reason Js ob- vious, Wasimixcion was President for the first eight years of the Republic, He enjoy ed the unlimited confidence of all classes of the people. In the words of Chief Justice Mareiatr, he was “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countr: men ;” and they never questioned his patriot ism, his integrity, or his wiedora, Of course, he appointed whom he pleased to office, and the Senate and the people were content Daring the first two years of the elder Apams he trod in the footsteps of his grent predeccasor, and was sustained by the Senate in the matter of appoiutments to office, For the last two yoars of his term the people were engaged in overthrowing the Federal party, and in clecting JERPERSON as his suc- ressor, During the eight years he occupied the Presidential chair, Jerrenson was the idolized chief of the Democratic Republican party, v h thon dominated the and in regard to country 5 ntmenta he be app 008 unlimited a sway as Wastineron did throughout ealministration, and bere it wisely and we For twenty years, therefore, this fusetion of the Government had been exercised in a mode which did not fully comply either with the letter or spirit of the Constitution, Pre tedent had come to sanction the honored practice of Wasiincton Penson, anil ¢ a fow strict construction ists hinted that there had been a departnre from the trae path, or suggested a change And thus it has remained till our day. But there etands the provision of the Con tit . On the sulject of removals from office | he inst it is not so clear and ¢: nit as on that of appointmenta, It is lainly implied, however, that durh pession of the Senate removals cannot made without its advice and consent, and it Is provided that if vacancies happen in a re cons of the Senate, they can only be tempo. rarily filled by the President, and must be eabmitted to that body at its next meeting for confirmation or rejection, The Constita- tion is alleat respocting removals by the Pro- ident during @ recess of the Senate, The wr tiny wonld seem to be that he mono make then, vulewe ‘hereto authorized by law. le Ldle-m ste ever, is amply pro- wide! for eoothes mode under thos clauses of +! on which authorize Congress to past all Jawa which may be ne- cospary to carry into execution the powers conferred by that Jnstrument upon any de. partment or officer of the Government; and it i@ upon these clauses that the Tenure ot Office act is based. Doubtless, the framers of the Constitution contemplated the enact- ment of some law to meet this exigency, aud te wrescribe a nartienlar mode for carrying Into full effect thelr general plan respecting appointments and removals, It is an error to suppose that a Tenare of Office act is a new idea springing from the collisions between ANDREW JoUNsON and Congress. It was shadowed forth by the authors of the Federalist, and therefore had the sanction of Hamiiron, Jay, and Map fon, the last having borne with general as- sont the title of father of the Constitution. A law of like tonor with that now pending between tho two Houses of Congress was vo- hemently demanded during the Administra. tion of Jackson, and the measure then ro ceived the unqualified approval of auch eml- hent statesmen and lawyers ae CLay, C4 noty, Srony, and Wenerrn. ‘ ie Cotand Dried Appointments New Judiciary Bilt, Mr, Trempcre’s bill, providing for the ap. pointment of additional Cireult Judges in Inder the every cirenit, is #0 Likely to beeome a law, that it leslrondy regarded as an accomplished fact We understand that the plan in contem on forthiee rewit ie something like tho following: Judge Ti ge TH arertrorn to he appointed Circnit Judge Judge Ruxeoren, of B forred from the Bow At the § Ti, 10 be trans ern District, and ap eed Judge PLavenr % Distr pointe i — to be appointed in Jace of RuNenrct We may Lavehenrd the name of the gren- at lu the place of Judge Br ©. it ie aname which we never wre, and we havo forgotten it. sto be District Attorney, we do why his friend, the Hon.

He lias been a Judge, and ifpot much of f Judye, still, like the man’s dinner, “ plenty of It such as it is.” 9. It is almost Impossiblo that he should not make ns good a Judge of the District Court as Le has mado of the Supreme Court, 4, The appointment would be a good thing for him, inaemuch as it is for life, and he would avoid the very considerable danger under which he now labors, that he may fail of a retlection, 5. There would be very little doubt—wo should venture to say, not any—that the Su- preme Court would not lose anything, even Dy a popular election of a man to succecd him in his present office. Bat, sertously, the valno of Mr, neit’s bill to the country depends almost rely upon the character of the appoint. ments to be made under it, Gen, Guanr will have fow more iinportant duties to por. form than the selection of these Cirenit Judges. So far os regards the judiciary, tho preservation of tho high character of our Federal Courts is almost our only hops. If they are to descend to the low lovel of somo of our State Courta—we do not refer to thovo in the First Judicial Distriet—woe be- tide us! It ia probable that great care will be exer cised by the Senate in amaking confirmations of the Clrewte Judges. Ie would be tho wisest way to let them lio over nutil the Do- cember session, This would give the bar of the country time to be heard from on the subject; and, in reforence to such appoint Court. ments, the bar are generally the best au thority. oan Will Horace Groelvy be Minister to Eny land t Some circumstances seem to indicate that ho probably will be. Mr. Gucerny was sent for by the express orders of Gen, GRANT, transmitted through Mr. Seeretary Bourweet, to come to Wash- ington and advise on the subject of the Now ork appointments, In compliance with this official invitation, Mr. EELEY proceeded to Washington, visited the White House, and made a dead set for the appointment of Gen, Hinam Warnninan to the offices of Collector of New York, Me asked for that—only that and nothing more.

With this truth in mind, it is plea- rant to read what the people of his former home say of Gen, Grant. “Wo found the good men and women of Galena," writes Mrs, Staxtox, “filled with faith in the new President. Thoy say he is a sober, honest, true man; that he will entirely revolutionize afMfuira at Washington, send the old political hacks to thelr homes, drive bribery and corruption from high places, and draw @ new order of statesmen about him.” There is no doubt that the country at large has shared the expectations with which tho citizens of that old Western town regard he goldiey. and. palelAl Whe. caw: cconples the Presidential chair, We have faith, too, that their hopes will not be disappointed, notwith- standing the partisan malignity of such journals as the World, But if any friends of Gen, Gaant aro impatient, they should remember that these kront reforms cannot be achieved ina day. They must be carefully prepared in order that there may be no failure in their execution. piles Tescaniaiis The Springfiel’!
