THE ARROW TIE has beon used with en

They are thicker, heavier and stronger than

the President's communication to the
Benatc relative to the removal of Sene
tary btauton is published The Prest
dent say.% hi reJcrcnce to Mr. btauton s
dtiteniunatiou to remain in the Cabinet
unuer llie tenuro oil ice act: Every
member of my Cabinet advised me that
the proposed, law was unconstitutional. ryWva-’
They spoke without, doubt or
tiou, hut, Mr. Stanton’s condemnation
oi the law was most elaborate mid cm
phatic.
lie referred to the coustrtul lonal pro
visions of the debates in Congress, and
especially to the speech ol Mr. Buchan
an, when a Senator, decisions of the
Supreme Court and usages from Urn
beginning of the Government, through
every successive administration, ail
concurring to establish the right, of re
inoval, as vested by the Constitution
in the President. To all these he added
the weight of his own deliberate judg
ment, and advised me of my duly to
defend the power of tju- President lifim
usurpation and veto the law
After all this, I was not prepared for
the ground taken by Mr. Stanton in his
note of August 12th. I wasuot prepar
ed to find hiui compelled by new‘and
indefinite sense ol public duty, under
the Constitution, to assume the vindica
lion ol a Jaw, which under the solemn
obligations of public duty imposed by
•the Constitution itselt, ho advised me 1
was violation ot that Constitution. 1
make great allowance for change of
opinion, but such a change aathisJiard
ly falls within the limits of the greatest
indulgence. I with
was so much strut); the full
mastery ot the question manifested by
Air. Stanton, and was. at the time so
fully occupied with the preparation ol
auother veto, I requested him to lire
pare the veto upon this tenure of office
bill. This he declined to do on the
ground of physical disability to undergo
at the time the etbor of writing, hut
stated his readiness to furnish what aid
might bo required to the preparation of
materials lor the paper.
I now pass to another subject.—
When, on the 15th of April, 18(55, the
duties of the President s : office devolved
upon me, I found a full Cabinet ol seven
members, fill of them selected by Mi.
Lincoln. 1 made no changes, on the
contrary I shortly afterwards ratified a
change determined upon by Mr. Lin
coin but not perfected at bis death, and
admitted his appointee, Mi. Ilarlan, in
the place of Mr. Lsher, vvlio was ib ot
flee at the time, fhe great duty ot Uie
time was to re-establish government,
law and order in the insurrectionary
States. CtMigress was then in recess,
and the sudden overthrow of the rebel
lion required speedy action.
The grave subject had engaged the
attention ot Mr. Lincoln the last days
of ids life, and the plan according to
which it was to be managed had been
prepared and was ready for adoption,
A leading feature of that plan was that
it should he carried out*l>y executive
authoi ily, for so far as I have been in
formed, neither Mr. Lincoln nor any
member of his Cabinet doubted bis an
thority to act or proposed to call an
extra session of Congress to do the
work
The first business transacted in the
Cabinet after r became President was
the unfinished business of my produces
sor. A plan or scheme which of reconstruc
tion was produced, had been
prepared lor Mr. Lincoln by Mia Stan
ton, his Secretary of War. It was ap
proved, aud at the earliest moment
practiceable, was applied iu the form of
a proclamation to the Slate of North
Carolina, and atteiward Became itic
basis ot action in turn tor tho other
States.
Upun the examination impeachment of Mr. Stan¬
ton before the committee
he was naked the following question :
Did anv one of the Cabinet express a
doubt ot the power of the executive
branch of the Government to recog¬
nize Stale Governments which bad
been in ici-oiliou without the aid
of Congress * He answered, none
Whatever. 1 had myself entertained
no doubt of the authority of the Presi¬
dent to take measures t'»i the organiza¬
tion of rebel .Stales on the plan propos
ed during the vacation of Congress,
and agreed ou Uie plan specified in the
proclamation in the -case of North Caro¬
lina.
There is, perhaps, no act ot my ad¬
ministration for which T have been
more denounced than this. It was not
originated by me, but 1 shrink from n<>
responsibility on itself that -account, for the
plan approved to my judgment,
and I did not hesitate to carry it, into
execution thus far, and upon this vital
policy there and was perfect myself, accord and between
the Cabinet 1 saw no
necessity for a change.
The President states that the great
difference of opiniou w ith Stanton was
on the District of Columbia suffrage,
and reconstruction hills of March, JKfi7,
the voters of which were opposed by
the latter although all the other cabinet
members supported t lie President, T
have now referred to the general grounds
upon which the withdrawal of Mr.
Stanton from my administration seem
ed to lie proper and necessary, hut T
cannot omit to Ftale a special would ground
which, if it stood alone, vindi¬
cate my action. The sanguinary riot
which occurred in i he city of New Or¬
leans on the 20th of August, 18G0, just
ly aroused public indignation and pub
lie inquiry not only as to those who
were engaged in it, but as to those who
might more or less remotely he held to
responsibility for the occurence. 1 need
not remind thc Senate ol thc effort
made to fix that responsibility on the
President. The charge was openly
made and again and again reiterated all
through the land that the President was
warned in time hut refused to iu ter fere.
Uy telegrams from the Lieutenant
Governor and Attorney General of
Louisiana, dated 27th and 28th of Au¬
gust, I was advised that a body of dele¬
gates claiming to In; the Constitutional
Convention were al«>ut to assemble in
New Orleans, that the matter way be¬
fore the grand jury, but that it would
lie impossible to t.vccuu) civil process
without a suit, and this question was
| as p, H j - ‘q 3 the military to interfere to
i prov^t the process of court ?”
This question was asked at a time
when civil courts were in full exercise
0 f tlieir authority, and the answer sent
by telegraph on the same 28th of Au
gust was this: “The military will lie
expected to sustain and not interfere
with the proceedings August of the courts. ”
On the same 28th of the follow-
i h h" 10,1 T'-am was serd. to j\lr. Blanton
by Major Geneva I liainl, then in com¬
mand owing to the absence of Mai. Gen.
Sheridan, then in command at New
j Oilcans:
"Hon. E. M. Siewian, Secretary of War:
“A convention lias heeu.eaiicd, with
the sauctiou of Gov. Wens, to meet
hereon Monday. Tiie Lieut. Govcr

l t l ] parties C could uot corui ton twice
or b e rnvit such action without instrue
lHous to that elteot from the PreskleiH.
instvm i mu at once by tiilc
Lrvaph flteSSUt ” Saturday,
of August was on
;c, u , next, morning, ?iHh, this dispatch
.* was received by Mr Hiantoh at Ids rest
deuce in this city. He took no action
U |.,on ami neither-sent instructions inn to
Gen. Baird, or presented it to day, for
sttch instruction. Outlie next
Monday, the riot, occurred; 1 never
saw this dispatch-from Gen. Baird until
days or two weeks after the riot,
w i, w upon my call for all dispatches
w j(|, a view to their publication, Mr,
Blanton sent it to me.
Those facts ail appear in the testimo
uy 0 , Mr. Btauton before the Judiciary
Committee in the impeaeliiucut investi
g a (imi. On the 301 h the day of the
riot, after it was suppressed—Gen.
Baird wrote to Mr, Stanton a long let,
tur 1|om winch I make the following
extracts: ‘
“B,u~r have tin: honor to inform
you that a very serious riot occurred
i,ero to (lay. 1 had not been applied to
i, y rliu Cuuvetitiou for protection, but
Uie Lieut. Governor aud the May or had
freely consulted with me, and I was so
fully convinced that it was so strongly
the intent of the city authorities to pre
serve peace, in order to prevent niilita
ry i n H lforeucc, that I did not regard
U]1 outbreak as a thing to be apprehend
«,<{. The Limit. Goveruoi had assured
thateven if a warrant of arrest, was
i a8Ue j by the court, the sheriff would
uot attempt to serve it without my por
mission, and for to-day they designed
t() sn speud it. I inclose herewith cop
m S of my correspondence wlt.li the
Mayor, and yf a dispatch which the
jjt ut„ Governor claims to have received
( y om til0 jq-euident. 1 regret that no
reply to, n.y dispatch to you Sheridan of Saturday
has yet. reached me. Geu. is
S fiu absent in, Texas.”
Thc dispatch of Gen. Baird of the
gijtii asks for immediate instructions,
auJ uih i utu .r „f the JOth, after detail
; n g tlje Unitik: ilol which had just hap
p^md, ends with an expression of re
gret t hat the instructions which he asked
luV wcn . sent. Tt is not a fault or
,.vroor omission of the President that
jpjg military instructions, commander but for was omissions left, with
, lU( lor all
„ r f,,r ul\ errors, all failures fo in
struct, when instructions might have
avertcd thiscalamity, the President was
openly 'instantly, and persistently held responsi
b!( ,_ without waiting for
proof, the delinquency of the President
was heralded iu every form of utter
anre Mr. Stanton knew, theu,.that the
President was not responsible, for the
delinquency. Tlio exculpation Was in
his power, but it was not. given by bim
to the public, and only to the President
in obediolice to a retptiaitioFu lor all the
dispatches.
No one regrets more limn myself that
Gen. Baird's request was not, brought
to my notice, it is clear, from Iris dis
patch and letter, that il'the Secretary of
War had given Him proper instructions
the riot which arose on the assembling
of the convention would liave been
averted. There may he those ready to
say I would dispatch have given no instructions,
even if the had reach' d me iu
time; but all must admit that 1 ought to
pave had thc opportunity,
Jtions The President then reviews the rein
between tlie executive and heads
of department?, andquotesfrom records
„f Congress and debates in thc. Nalioiml
Constitutional Convention, to nrovctlic
illegality of efforts to check the respon
sibility of Uie President by depriving
him of the right of selecting his agents.
He concludes thus: Iliad indulged the
hope that, upon the assembling of Con¬
gress Mr. Sianfon would have ended
to’the this unpleasant complication, according
intimation given in his pole of
fell August 12th. calleil The duty which 1 have
myself upon to perform was
by no responsible means agreeable, but I fuel I am
not, for the controversies or
for thc consequences.
Unpleasant as this necessary change
in my Cabinet has been fome upon per

From tiie British Medical Review
After twenty seven years of confine
me nt. in a criminal lunatic asylum, du
,
ring plary, which his coD'luct lias been exem¬
and no traces Oxford, have appeared of
mental aberration, thc pot boy,
who shot at Her Majesty in Si. James’
Park, has been liberated. During this
time many appeals have been made in
his behalf by influential persons w ho
have had the opportunity of watching
Bis demeanor and ganging his character.
His own story has always been, and
was consistently from the first, that the
pistol which he fired was not loaded.
It will be remembered that no bullet
was ever lound. He attributes the
criminal act which he has expiated by
long immurement, aud which, under u
less mercilul government, must
cost him his lne, to inordinate vanity,
fostered liy a variety of trivial circum¬
stances in his domestic life ami training
on which we need not dwell, and which
led to a senseless desire to aiiain noto¬
riety by some means, and this foolish
and criminal impulse led to his lament¬
able crime. He has occupied his time
in a certain amount of Bell-education,
which the means have been granted to
him at Broadmoor aud in the asylum in
which lie was formerly confined, and
has become a tolerable linguist. He
has also taught himsell, and practiced
“graining,” width he does sufficiently
well to earn a living, ile has been
mercifully released, hut lias been very
properly prohibited from remaining in
or visiting England. Whether directly
itisane at the time of his offence, or led
by a miserable loye of notoriety, it is
rigid that the p erso n of tiie Sovereign
should he protected from the vanity
a mau who, at however distant a per¬
iod, could commit the cowardly outrage
of which he was thc perpetrator.
