SOLID SOUTH. JOHN R MADDOX, E , ' itor - SATURDAY MARCH 6, 1886. THE PRESIDENT AND THE SENATE. It will not be denied that the Pres dent, in his message to the senate relative to the rights of that body to all information of any kind in his possession respecting removals and appointments, speaks plainly, frank¬ ly and emphatically. He docs not attempt to evade the issue. He states it, discussed it, and gives his decision with regard to it. The ques¬ tion which now presents itself is, what is Mr. Edmund’s and the Re¬ publican majority going to do? The President-tells them what he is go ing to do, and leaves the inference to be drawn that it isn’t a matter of much consequence to him what they do. Stripped of all verbiage, and pre¬ sented in all its nakedness, the is sue between the majority of the sen ate and the President is this: The Republican Senators demand to know the reason for removals, and the President says that there’s no an thority lodged anywhere which gives them a right to such reasons. The issue involves a great deal more however, than is immediately appar¬ ent. At the beginning of his adminis¬ tration tho. President said that he would not make removals lor pure¬ ly political reasons—that is. that he would not remove Republicans sim ply because they were Republicans. The Republican Senators want to show that the President has broken this promise, and they want to show it, not for the public good, but with the hope of making political capital. The way they propose to show it is by encroaching upon the President’s prerogative—-that is, by passing judgment upon the information up on which he acted in making re¬ movals. They claim that the Sen ate has a tight to this information, and he claims that it has not. His message makes it pretty plain that it has not. The power to remove an official is lodged in the president. The con¬ stitution does not say that the Sen¬ ate shall be consulted. The fra of the constitution were wise in not giving the Senate any authority in the matter. The removal of an offi¬ cial is not a mutter of much impor¬ tance. The appointment of an offi¬ cial, however, is, because of the ne ccsity for. having the offices filled with good men. Appointments there fore, must be made with the advice and consent of the Senate, If the Senate had to be consulted about removals there would be no end or trouble. What would seem to bo good cause by the President might not seem to be so by the Senate, and the Senators would also differ among themselves in about every ease whether there was good cause. I 11 nearly all cases, therefore, there would have to be a sort of trial in which evidence would be submitted. It is evident that is was never intenj ded that the Senate should have anything to say about removals. But how could the President com¬ ply with the request of the majority of the Senate even if lie were so dis posed. Many of the removals were made at the request of Senators nnd Representatives, and on charges fin¬ ished by them, but which were not reduced to writing. How could the President furnish charges to the Senate in each case unless I 10 ap¬ peared before a senate committee and stated them correctly? If in any case he failed to remember the charges upon which he based bis action the wilj’ Vermont Senator would look wise and say, “Ah, here is an in stance where the President has broken his promise to the people. under The power of the president, the constitution, relative to remov¬ als, is unrestricted, and for its exer¬ cise he is responsible only to the people. The whole country will re¬ joice that lie not only understands what his prerogatives are, but, also, has the firmness to prevent any en¬ croachment upon him. He says in his message that he has kept his promises to the people, nnd there is no reason to doubt that he. has. It is safe to say that he has made no removals where he has not had good cause. Indeed, the fact that he has, in so many instances, even when strongly pressed by polit¬ ical friends, refused to remove Re¬ publicans is convincing evidence that be has honestly tried to carry out the policy with respect to the of ficcs which he announced in his in augral address. doubt that his There is no mes¬ sage was a surprise to the Republi¬ can Senators. The remark of Sena¬ tor Edmund8tkat it reminded him of the communications of Charles I to Parliament, while doubtless, meant to arouse a feeling of hostili ty to the president, was in a meas¬ ure, a confession that the scheme to make political capital for the Re¬ publican party was a failure.—Sa¬ vannah Nqws. Deputy Marshal Haygood, of Mil ledgeviUe was shot and killed by E. N. Eunis last Saturday. Ennis’ brother delivered an anti-prohibi tion speech and Haygood said there was no point to it which led Ennis to shoot Haygood. CASE30F MISTAKEN IDENTITY. Things are getting so badly mix that it takes a remarkably clear- 1 ,cadet man to establish the fact t hat lie is himself, and not somebody j else. the Pierce- ! This will at once suggest | Weaver case. But it must be recol lee ted that this perplexing .’ifl'air does not alone. Many years ago the Bunkly case distracted Gcor -in. The Tichlmrne litigation in England never satisfactorily settled the question ot the claimant s ident ity. As we write scores of contro versies equally puzzling arc occupy ing the courts in various states. Sometimes it is the hardest mat ter in the world to establish the iden lily of a man beyond the shadow oi a doubt. A few years ago a man was recognized in Philadelphia as James Fl'ihertv ’ an escaped convict from - Joilet r -I llhno iilinriiK thc ^ate • at , . s. prison and confronted with He was arrested a photograph of the convict. I lie likencss was perfect, and a peculiar scar across the forehead settled the matter. In In court, or,ni t several scvei.u officials oimiais from Joilet testified the prisoner was the man who had escaped from their custody. Everything excited¬ pointed to the man’s guilt, when he ly rose in the dock, and positively asserted his innocence, declaring that he had never been in Joilet in his life, and that the officers were mistaken. The judge was staggered asked by the man’s earnestness, and the prison officials if they had no oilier means of indenturing the de¬ fendant. One of the offices stated that the escaped convict had on his right arm, tattooed in India ink, a figure of the goddess of liberty, and on his left arm a representation supposed of the crucifixion. The Flaherty w as ordered to take off his court and bare his arms. When this was done the tattooing hereto¬ fore described was plainly to he seen on his arms. Better evidence could not have been desired. The judge was sat¬ isfied that it was Flaherty, and or¬ dered him remanded. At Joilet, the matter again came before the courts. About one hundred witnesses testi fled. Fully one-hall swore that the prisoner was another man. Finally the proof of identity turned upon a missing tooth. The result showed that tiie defendant was not Flaher¬ ty and he was released. A few days litter tiie only genuine and origi mil Flaherty turned up, and was re¬ turned to the penitentiary. Now, in the face of such a case, how can we place implicit confidence in human testimony, when it relates to the indentilication of any particu¬ lar person? In such matters all men are liable to make grave mistakes.— Constitution. co id.” In two days after the abovecon versation “ Hi ” was very sick with pneti “onm.IIad be at first taken adoso of ‘ ‘ without woul(l ) i; ivc p ecn Bure ly cured harm.
