BOhool at Carlisle, Pa,, was stricken

points against like app opriations lor
other Indian schools as fast ss they

■■MATE
The chair laid before the senate a
number of borne bills, among them a
bill granting a pension o' $2000 a year
to tbe widow of Gen Hancock O r
motion o; Blair ;hat biil was at once
passed, Blair stating that It had been
this morning considered by tbe pen
sion committee of ihe senate.
Beck called up the resolution • tier
ed by him December 18 h, 1885, re
lating to the payment of customs
dues in coin, Beck said that the
resolution had been umr lydl: cussed,
and he now moved its reference to
the finance committee Agreed to.
The chair laid before he senkte
Logan’s bill to promote ih6 efficiency
of the army.
The bill was debated until 1:50
p m, and then laid aside.
The conference ocmmltlee on the
urgent cU flcieccy bill presented a re
port, which was adopted, showing
mutual conccesi ns by tbe hou■*> and
senate as to the diflrre: ces that had
existed.
Jackson then rei-umed bis speech
on the Edmunds reacluiiOQS,
Jackson inquired whether It wes
in tbe line of "lbeca ! m and orderly
administration of the g< vernmeni’’
referred to by E. munds ilmt ihe sen
ate should ptm.it uli pending nomi
nations to remain unacted on,
to let the changes in office
remain unfilled and have
the session close, le&ving all those
troublesome constitutional questions
to be raised in the reces9. The papers
called for wsre wholly irrelevant to
the matter of filling the < ffioe In ques
tion. The power con .ended on tbe
other side, that a suspended cfflcial
should resume tbe functions of the
office when the senaie fulled to act ou
a now nomination, was provided for,
Jackson said, in tbe orfg nal tenure
of office bill, but was specifically
struck cut by he committee of con
ference, It war- nisi, irue as a matter
of fact, .hat Ge eim Giant a>.d other
presidtrfs In tut,nulling nomina
tlons to ihe ten-'e. bsd used itiier
changcably ihe w rds “removed”
ami "mepimJen ” Jackson had a-
smimd many cuch cases, and had
feund Gel era! Grant using ihe word
“removed,” when ii fact the person
designed h« remove.', bad technically
fce°n only i uspeu < d
Edi- unde a-ked whether such cases
diii lot < ccur liming the tension of
tbe si i ate.
Ji i bsnn Inferred :l>at they did, bu
wes no' sure.
E.'muL'ds thought they did. He
alto eaid Prtsid> m H-yes bad been
called on to explain whe.her that
form of ncmlr aticn (vice a rem 'vcci
pereoi), when in faci the person had
been su r ended mi ant “r, niovu.” or
not, am. Presidi nt Hayes hud replied
that it did not imply anything of the
kind, bui n erely u eant that ihe per
son was lemeved ii the sena'e should
consent to the removal. That fact,
Edmunds sard, cculii be found on the
Journels of the senate.
Jackson, conc'udiDg his remarks,
■aid: “I see nothing in this but au
attempt to encroach on the funotione
and rights of the executive and of
obstructing him and this adminis
tration in their efforts at reform. No
E resident for the past half century
as ever acted with more modera
tion, none with more conscientious
regard for he public Interests, and
yel at the very outset of bis adminis
tration he is io lie obstructed in this
way ou grounds wholly unwarranted
He may well appeal from ibis eena'e
to the country, for tbe country will
sustain him in his scilon.”
George followed also in opposition
to the majority report, The Ameri
can senate, Gsorge said, was to-day
engaged in the consideration of a
question of great moment. It wss a
claim on tbe part of the senate of au
premacyover aoo-ordlnate Independ
ent department of tbe government
The senate, he said, was the most
aristocratic feature ol cur gi vire
ment and the least responsible to ibe
people, receiving its auihori'y Dot
directly fora tl e people, but at sic
ond hai d. Ii wa- tu. a pur: of th"
legislHiive department of tho
government. The varh us futictim a
of g vermiient had been divided in »
iwieu t; .ea departments. No par:
of the -chime of ii e oonstltu'iotr had
been d*eimd of more importance or
more fesc; iial tli u this mparatlor
of the power between <qiml and in -
doper dent departments and the
preservation of the i quality of such
i f these dt| :.r incuts ir. m encroach
merit or usurpa.ion by the others
George then argued at some length
the question of the power of rtmova
undtrihe constitution. Aftcrciiiug
a number of authorities, historical
and 1. gal, to show hat the power
had alwavs been in tbe
president, George continued that
up to 1867 the president
bad always and alone exercised this
powt r and it would now lie a base
submission to usurpation if the pre-
idem, should abandon the powers
vested In him by the consii'utlon. I
wee not in the p- wer of congress to
eul ject the president to any subservi
ency or servlli'y to any other depart
ment of the government. Congres
could not grunt new power to Use!)
Dor could i grant new power to an
t ffleer exc pt to enable the officer lo
• x.cute (he power granted htrn by
the oonsMtuth n. Neither could ii
tike away from any deparimeut if
the government any of the powers
conferred on It by tbe constitution.
Mr George then reviewsd the hiss
tnry of ihe tenuie of office law and
quoted from the lebaieou that bill to
show that the republicans were no>
all agreed that it was constiiuiiona
or wise.
Morgan obialned the floor, but
y lei ed to a motion by Butler to g
into execu.ive sstsion.
Edmunds opposed the motion,
with a v ew to securing an under
standing as to when a vote oould be
reached.
The motiou was not agreed to.
Cockrell said seven or eight sena
tors yet desired to speak. He hnught
it difficult now to fix au hour wben
a vote could be had.
It was finally arranged that to
morrow afieruoou the time should
be fixed for the nixt day, or perhaps
the day alter, wheu a vote should be
taken.
Tbe senate then, on motion of But
ler, at 6:35 p m, adjourned.
