Oardinul Polo, the last liotuisU Arch
l,i hop of the English C’hQoh, died Nov.
17th, 1.778. He was succeeded by tho
Protestant Vtchbiahop Mathew Parker,
flcro the sttceflScdon in tho (l)iurdh of Eng
land and of the P. E. (J. in America
he "inn. Thu question is, did the sueees
: mn pass from the Romish into the Eng-
lish ('hutch at this point?
It was then; and is still denied, that :
Parker was ever ordained Bishop at all. !
The sucocsM,mists claim that he was or
dained by Bishop Barlow. It was then,
and is still denied, thatJsishop Barlow was 1
ever ordained it Bishop. lam not aware
that the records of their oiiliimtiou have:
ever been produced iu an authentic form.
To say tin most for it, there in uncertainty
as to these ordinations.
But it tin- vvas settled beyond a question, 1
by what authority did Bishop Barlow or
dain Bishop Parker? If he ever had any J
at nil, hu received it from tho Homan
Catholic Church. And yet he and Parker
had both beet) excommunicated from the
Catholic Church long before the timff in j
which thus ordinat ion is said to have oc
curred.
If, therefore, Parker ever had been or
dained a priest, and Barlow a Bishop, the
orders conferred had been withdrawn by
(ho same authority that, conferred them,
iui neither had the right to colder or
~ai\ e the order of Bishop- The P. E
'. expelled Bishop lvcx aml suspended tho i
hide’tkmks; have they the right to ordain |
a Bishop? Most ocrUinly not. 15y what !
iiuriuirity, then, does liarUnv transfer the *
\ toiioai succession to I’inker?
■ e.-tijy u ism the succession. It is a |
l'aoi weil i stauliehed by history, thatdur
ine i'e dark ages, tho office of Bishop was
o'i e aiueti in some instances by force qfarms,
and l« others by bribery. Does Apostolical
sue.-,-.-ion p"'S- through either of these
channels ? Would not an ordination oh
tallied by either violence or bribery be null
and rc ltd S It so, would not all others
ilia ,le , cud, u from such Bishop, be also
mil! and void ? It it is maintained that
such ol'ih is are valid, then may any man
become a Bishop by force or by money. If
it i- valid in one case it is iu all. If such
ordinatious are valid then is Apostolical
succession perpetuated by ibroo and c. r
ruptiop. It they an not valid, there is
no succession, for if it ever existed, fimr
and , 11< at ion have severed the chain.
I therefore maintain that the doctrine
of Apostolical succession makes external
oig.inisni ,s.' i/eif to salvation, limits the
Divine power to s.ivc men, and puts the
salvation of nun* in the most r c tuna' peril.
\\ ho. upon ibis theory, can bo certain of
bis salvation ? Who knows that every
link in the succession chain, down to him,
is perfect ? If this hypothesis be true,
then is c\ ry man forced, with the poet,

being. I know there are tnv.y devotedly
pious members in the I*. L. C-, in the
miuisuj us iu the layoty. But it is w,ih
the Church gtandcutl 1 now hate to Jo.
I understand it to be hold by the Church

irreligious seek their enjoyment aud

(Vtrkttouchaeacti r. There are exceptions
to this-rule l know. But is not this the
rule ou this subject iu the P. E. C ? 1
fdiould rejoice to find I hat I was mistaken.
But certainly I HU, not, as to the P. E. C
•in (’otumbiis Georgia. This view of
, t.’hrWtuuMty.il seems tome,isinconflict with
both the general tenor and the specific
teachings df the word of God. From
| liouesi- to Revelations, the scriptures
j teach that Christianity is designed to make
man a creature. That, by nature be
j is earthly, sensual and devilish ; and that
he must be efneified to the world and the
world to him —made separate from sinners.
The grandeur of the sent mo cf salvation is
us argument apriuri. God i- manifest in
the flesh; Christ is crucified ; the Holy
Ghost is given" ; the Church is organized,
: an 1 th> living Ministry appointed—
the united, Triune God seems
to be moving on some grand mission. Man
is the theatre of action. It m to BRING
nut back id God. D,>es not al! this
warranr the conclusion that seme marked
change is to be wrought iu man ? That he
is to be lifted up to communion with God
again ? Is mixing with the world, in its
pursuit alter earthly joys, consistent with
tne Divine purposes as indicated in these
mighty movements of human redemption
and salvation ?
The eific teachings of the Bible il
lustrate mo rc fully these general indications.
“Moses s ood in tfce gate of the camp
and raid, Who is on the Lord’s side ? let
him come unt'; me. And the great
Apostle said: “What concord hath Christ
with Belial” —“what agreement hath the
tern pie of God with idols? for ye a-e the tem
ple of the living God”—“wherefore come
out from am. ug them and be ye separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean
thing, and I will receive you.” “And be
not conformed to this World, but be ye
transformed by iliereoewingofyour mind”
“ye are the light of the world,” tays
Christ —“let your light so shine before
a uij, that they may see your goods works
and glorify your Father which is iu
Heaven There is a marked distinctive
mm in the Christian’s outward character,
according to these teachings, which
doe* not cimport with the pursuit of the
pleasures oi the world. “AH my springs
are in I lice," -aid the Psalmist.
Moreover, the standard of experimental
piety, according to the teachings of the
I'. E. C., is equally defective. Indeed,
this is the spring from which flows this
conformity, ty the world.
While the Church teaches the general
doctrine of ultimate holiness'as necessary
to salvation in Heaven, she denies the ,
doctrine of a enweiov* enae of sins for
aivtn, and of the new birth, arid maintains j
that if is injurious to piety to entertain the
idea that you are bornagnin. Conversion, ,
1 as understood by evangelical Christians, is
, not. only denied but ridiculed by some of
the descendants of the Apostles. What
do they do with the conversion of Paul,
; and his experience otten told before kings
1 and judges ? Did he not have a conscious
j sense of pardon, and of the new birth?
“ He was filled with the Holy Ghost.”
The nature of the work—“ Marvel not that
j L said unto thee yc mu-r be born again”—
i is such as necessarily involves our con
. Aciowneu. Mark the figures of scripture
!on this subject. “Crucified with Christ;”
“risen with Lfim;" “created anew;”
| “made partaker of the Divine nature;”
“ the body of sin destroyed.” Are these
the words of the Lord ? Are they used to
convey ideas to the mind of the gracious
change produced upon our morjJ nature?
Then is it utterly impossible tor such a
change to pass upon man without a con
scious sense of it.
The explicit teachings of the Book pro
claim that we may know thisgrace. “Thou
shall we know if we follow on to know the
Lord. ’ “If any man will do iiis will he
I shall know of the doctrine.” “1 know
| that my Redeemer livoth,” said -fob—and
Paul exclaims T know whom I have be
lieved,’ “knowing this that our old man is
crucified with Him, that the body of sin
might be destroyed.” “The Spirit itself
buareth witness with our Spirit that we
are the children of God.”
In the light of the Bible we must insist,
therefore, on a conscious sense of the par
don of sins, and of being torn again, as
I ne Lis'tk-riijLt of the Christian. And to
those who have it not the words of the
Apo 110 are addressed : “For when for
the time ye ought to be teachers, yc have
need, that one teach you again, which be
the tir t principles of the oracles of God.”
It was for preaching and professing to
live up to this doctrine that the Wesleyans
were persecuted by tho Church of Eng
land, into a separate Church organization.
And while the leaven of the truth main
tained by (lie Wesleyans has leavened
many of the ministers and members of
that Church, both in England and Ameri
ca, still tin' Church itself holds to her
first principles upon this subject; we can
not, therefore, accept her platform for a
Universal Church.
Again. I object to the economy of the
P< E. C. as,not adapted to the spread of
the gospel.
The Apostolic commission is, “go ye
into all the world and preach the gospel
to every creature. ” An Apostolical Church
must, therefore, be adapted to tliisend.
The dogma of Apostolical succession ne
cessarily restricts the extension of the
blessings of tho gospel. Her forms of
worship, while they, suit minds of a par
ticular cast, are not adapted to the masses
of tho people and prevent Church ad
vancement. This is illu'truted in the
progress of the Church. Her operations
and increase are confined mainly to tho
cities, towns and populous communities.
The ,Church is coexistent with Georgia,
and she now ouly numbers twenty-two
Ministers and not quite twenty-four hun
died members; while “the sects,” and
“societies,” as they call the other Church
es, number about two hundred thousand
communicants. Theu there must be a
want of motive 'pouter as well as organic
adaptedness. Paul says “for our Gospel
came not unto jou in word only, but also
in potcer, and in the Holy Ghost, and in
much assurance. ’ The experiment of tho
P. E. C. in this country does not com
mend it to my judgment as an organism
best suited to spread the gospel through
out the world.
Finally, tho divisions in the P. E. C.
constitute au objection to her as an organi
zation for the uuton of all Christian-) at
this time. It is not to bo concealed that,
both in Europe and America, there are
serious divisions in tho Episcopal Church,
which the be.-t Iriends ot the Church fear
i will eventuate in rending the body. There
I are, at least, three distinct parties : Ist.
| The Tiactarians, who are in deep sym
pathy with Rome. 2d. The High Church
i men, who still fight against Rome. 3d.
! Tho Evangelical Episcopalians, who hold
! that, while they prefer Episcopal ordina
tion, it is not essential to a church or to a
Christian ministry. Uu this subject the
Rev. Mr. Etiis, rector of Christ Churoh,
Nashville, Tennessee, holds die following
language: “One party wishes to effect
whet, all must admit, would bean essential
change in our Church—to re introduce the
precise dogmas and practices, the removal
ot which wa> the very aim of the Ref
ormation. “The other party, animated by
the same idea, the same governing princi
-1 pies which moved the Reformers, labor
i that the very same identical spirit shall
ever breathe in her formularies aud govern
all her conduct.” Agaiu he says,* "I
warn ihose in the Church who say peace,
that there can bo no peace.” He maintains
I that the Ritualists are the aggressive
party, and that they must and will be met.
The Tyng difficulty in New York illustrates
the truth of our assumption. Indeed, no
; well informed clnirehmau will deny that
there are serious divisions in the, I*. E. C.
In tills suite ,4 things it seems to mo to ,
ijewi-. 1 wait till these conflicting forces
arc harmoniz, 1. lest the foreign element in
troduced might increase the centrifugal,
rather than the eeutripedal forces, and thus
precipitate atjbUior schism, instead of pro
moting a universal union.
The imperfect examination I have been
able to ruftke in the space ol time allowed
me tor-a discussion of the formations of the
P F. C., discovers that it is not welisuit
j ed to »o large a building as the Bishop
proposes. 1 prefer the foundation "stoo
which the builders disallowed,” but which
has become “the head of the corner.”
But Uwme to -ay, in conclusion, Ido
not K ieve God t\er de-igned that His be
lieving children should al: be united under
, one external organization. While it is
reasonable tim I should believe Methodism
to be the Church organization of all
others, most .-mud to help man to be good,
aud to carry the gospel to all people, still
l have no idea that the cud of the gospel
; would be best subserved by all believers
joining .he M. E. C.
I believe the cause ot God may be pro
moted by the subdivision of the Church
in ; a various external organisations : fur
nishing an opportunity tor every member
to be ;; \y joined to the body. Some pre
fer to bo Episcopalians; some Methodists;
some Bi* lists ; some Presbyterians ; and
some prefer other denominations—let
every one be Jitly joined, where the
doctrine.., torn,a and economy suit him
best. But :< t them be united together,
and to tii Head, Jesus Christ. And be
•a ">s Christ and his Father are one. Oue
iu t.atu.' ; having ail “been made par
takers of the Divine nature." by “tkere
ne wing of the lioiy Ghost. ” Oue in unit
ed tjrjort to saic ,»< n. Ihe Father cave
His tyon : the Son gave Cis life, the Holy
, Ghost sanctities the soul. A cither is
jeaiuus f the ether, nor seeks to monop
j ohze the 'whole work or to absorb the
other. The Father is not jealous of the
Sou as ilo triumphs over Hie euemies ou
the Cre-.-s. in the resurrection and ascension.
Nor dot's the ti on oomplath of the honors
given to the Holy Ghost ou the day of
Pentecost. It is their one work to save
men, aml each is glorified iu the work of
the other. So should each branch of the
Church of God feel that they have their
specific w>>rk in the vineyard of the laird ;
and that each is honored in the suoees- of
the other, and sJuKlid, therefore, rejoice
iu the triumphs of the Redeemer's cause
wherever it ts to be seen. This is “the
unity of the Spirit in the boudsof peace"—
"many members,” “but one body aud one
Spirit.’’ Tnis unity, in individuality and
i distinct personality of the various
i Churches, prevents stagnation, and also
’ the oppression of a great monopoly. It
i provokes each other to good works, and
keeps the Churches active and alive. And
: there need be no more contention and
strife between the various branches of the
Church than in anyone Church; if we
have the Spirit of the Master tee are one.
“Let the potsherds strive with the pots
herds of the earth,” but let the Christians
of every’ name cease to prosilyte from each
other’s Churches, and “go up to themoun
tain and bring wood and fuel to the house;
and I wiil take pleasure in it. and I will be
glorified,saith the Lord.” ‘’Then Ephraim
shaii not vex Judah, and Judah shall not
vex Ephraim ;” but, by the effectual
working of the measure of each part, make
increase of the body’ to the edifying o;
itself in love.”
“Thus will the Church below,
Resemble that above:
Where s reams of endless pleasure flow,
And every heart is Jove.”

The Seventeen-Yea it Locusts. —
The Louisville Democrat has treated
its readers to a historical dissertation on
locusts, and, as some of the same species
have appeared in this section, it may be i
interesting to the general reader. It may, :
however,be best to preface this sketch with
the observation that 10-cusses of tho Scala
wag order are much more numerous here
abouts than the regular simon pure lo
i custs. The former are much more to be
dreaded, too, than the latter —the Scala
: wag 10-cusses, that destroy everything
within their reach while the locusts arc
1 only partially destructive. But to the
subject :
The seventeen-year locusts are dill’erenc
from the ordinary 10-cusses. They appear
in the indivisible period of seventeen years,
and were last visible in 1851. They are
now due aud prompt payment is expected.
They were visible to observers May 23d,
1-817 ; in 1834 about the same time, aud
have made this year’s entree about May
26.
The frequent rains obligingly drowned
many of them, it is said, and most ot them
are now live inches below the surface 01,
the ground, discouraged in their entrances
by the raia-bfiaring Hyades.
Like other 10-cusses they Jirst appear in
the pupa or puppy state, ami soon after
can be caught on the fly in base-ball sea
son. They deposit eggs the last of May in
the tender twigs, and when they get to
grub, or the wormy state, they fail to the
ground and grovel two or three feet be
neath the surface, in order to reach again
the pupa form. Mr. Lehman, who has
investigated, savs they never go down be
yond six feet. The egg must “touch the
ground” before animation begins. In
growing out they will penetrate between
the bricks of a pavement. They prefer
shade of woods and shun the open mead
ows. The damage to vegetation, it is
affirmed, is done by the female in deposit
ing her eggs, and not iu consuming the
j young leaves. The female locusts carry a
sting which, when bruised or irritated,
they use with fatal effect. Persons in Bucks
county, Pennsylvania, were killed by
• stinging in 1851. Children stung were
; cured by cutting live chickens in half and
i applying the still warm flesh to the punc
. tnr pi part.
They are eaten bv hogs, squirrels, and
some of the larger birds, and when fried
form a favorite dish with the Indians.
The grasshopper is classed with the ge
hus locustrtf and some ot the devastation
ascribed to the grasshopper is said to have
been done by the red legged locust, the
first cousin of this seventeen year visitor.
This species will ravage salt meadows, corn,
vegetables and clover, aud in the middle
of the last century were so destructive a
gluerai day of fasting and prayer was ap
pointed to implore Divine intervention.
Various methods have been resorted to
to check their ravages, such as collecting
the eggs, which may be easily turned out
of the ground. The grown locusts are
caught in cloths and nets spread over the
fields. This plan was adopted by Brigham
Y’ouug and the Mormon Saints.
Fortunately for this country, howeve r , U
has escaped the fearful ravages done by
the migratory locusts in Syria, Egypt, and
almost all the south of Asia and Europe,
and sometimes as far north as England
They fly in thick clouds, vailing the sou
i and de troying every trace ol vegetation in
1 their progress. Although we have escaped
these, yet the grasshoppers on the plains
were v*ry destructive, aud their devasta
’ion was a cause of the renewal of Indian
t hostilities, the tribes being thus deprived
of food, l ife seventeen-year old bug, how
l ever, is comparatively harmless, felling
! woods, but not injuring vegetation greatly.
New York Convention.
We have been requested to state that
j suitable arrangements are being made for
| the accommodation of the Georgia dele
gates in New York, and that when con
summated das notice will be given.
Negro Suffrage in the South.
The only question upon which there ap
j pears to be any fear of dissension and dis
j agreement in the New York Convention
is that of negro suff rage. A few months
since the indications were that the point
of difference and of difficulty would be
j upon the bond and finance question.—
j Fortunately for the party and for the coun
| try there has b r .en developed so much of
: disagreement upon this question in the
ranks of the Radicals as to diminish very
! materially the opposition of the bond
; holding Democracy to a correct and eon
j titntional position on this subject. The
i views of the ablest men in the Radical
, party are found to coincide with the ad-
I vanced and legal ground taken by Mr
• Pendleton and the great body of the
i Democracy last fall. These divisions in
i the Radical party will enable the New
! York Convention to frame its platform in
; this particular iu such a way as to satisfy
! the great body of the party, while, at the
j 3ame time, giving no special cause of
j complaint to the bondholding Democrats.
Until recently we had hoped that the
i party was a unit on this question of ne
, gro suffrage. We believe still that a very
| large majority of the party are fully
j agreed upon this issue. We have had no
intimation of trouble upon this point until
the Chase movement began. The boud
! holding Democrats seem to be perfectly
willing to take Chase upon his own record
j on the finance question and will not insist.
’ if he is the nominee, upon incorporating
1 their peculiar dogmas in the platform. But
! Chase’s nomination would involve a back
j ing down ou the negro suffrage question
! of either himself or the Democratic parly.
The New York World's party, the bond
holuing Democrats, insist that, as they
have announced a willingness to pretermit
the expression of tlicir views on the finance
question, that the party should he willing to
take some safe half way place on negro
suffrage upon which Mr. Chase could con
sistently bland.
To this end they propose that the Con
vention shall recognize negro suffrage in
the South, upon the ground that it is
already established by law, aud has been
exercised by the negroes in the formation
of the several State Constitutions. They
admit that the laws under which the
negroes have exercised this right in the
South are illegal and unconstitutional.
But they say “how can we prevent their
voting ?” “They have voted and will con
tinue to vote.”
Well, suppose they have voted, and that j
they will vote in the Presidential election, j
Does that make it right and legal for
them to vote ? Is that a sufficient reason
why the Democratic party should make
themselves accessories ajter the fact to
this great crime committed against the
rights of the white people of the South
and the Constitution of the United States?
The World says, in apologizing for the
contemplated treachery to true Democrat
ic principles, that “it would be suicidal to
to put into tbe platform any declaration
which the Radical demagogues aud stump
orators could use to turn the negro vote
against us.” Here, then, we have the
bold avowal that the Democratic party
must not presume to take high constitu
tional ground on this question for fear that j
by so doing they may lose the negro ;
vote.
It the World believes that the negroes j
of the Southern States have the right to .
vote, it ought, to be consistent, to throw its :
weight aud influence with the Radical i
party. If it believes negro suffrage is ]
wrong, it should insist upon no prevarica
tion by the party upon this question.
Tho advocacy of Mr. Chase as a suitable ;
candidate for the Democratic party in- .
voives a departure from true Democratic j
principles, and cannot be consistently j
urged. Mr. Chase, in his recent letter,
expressed the hope that the Democratic j
party will advance to* the grand idea of 1
universal suffrage, and that its .platform
will be in accordance with this great prin
ciple. He clearly intimates that, anxious
as he may be for the nomination, he will j
not accept it from tho Democracy unless
their platfor in conforms to his views upon
this question.
Let the Democratic party look within
its own organization for a candidate, and
then there will be no trouble or sacrifice of
principle in fixing a platform for him to
stand upon. __

THE MILITARY—INAUGURATION OF THE
GOVERNOR THE LEGISLATURE—GEN
ERAL NEWS.
We learn from the Floridian of the 9tli
that Harrison Reed, the Radical Governor
elect, was sworn into office and delivered
his inaugural address on the Bth instant.
ThelLegislature (so-called), attempted to
meet on the same day, but had no quorum.
New arrivals, however, would put them on
a better footing the next day. The mili
tary authorities insisted that the re
organizers should hold off and wait until
the Congress should authorize their pro
ceedings by the passage of the Omnibus
bill, but Reed and his coadjutors were
too much in a hurry to administer upon
Florida, to tarry for the warrant even of a
Radical Congress.
Reed was sworn in by Judge Boynton,
of the United States Court for the South
ern District of Florida. His inaugural
is brief and not particularly exceptionable.
The Legislature stands : Senate —Radi-
cals, 16 ; Democrats, 8. House—Radicals,
37 ; Democrats, 15—showing a Radical
majority of thirty on joint ballot. The
Legislature contains thirteen carpet
baggers and nineteen negroc-s.

Another Letter front General Grant.
Washington, D. C. June 10th, IS6S.
Mr Dear Snooks lam afraid you
have made a mistake in publishing my let
ter without making the proper correc
tions. I want tbe peoplo to believe that i
am a great man, and if you continue to
publish my letters as they 3re written,
you will rum my recitation. Now. this
repitation I maintained at great hazards
and no little expense, by beiug “mum,"
saying nothing to nobody, and keeping
everything to myself. This was wise,
wasn’t it, my dear boy ! But these plagued
politicians have such a way of getting
around a fellow, you know, and worming
things out of him before he knows it.
Isn't it dreadful ? But I think I rather
got ern when I said it wouldn't do to
have a policy now, because occur
rences might occur in the next
lour years that the policy adopted now
would not do to adopt then. Wasn’t that
cute, niv boy ! I tell you, if they want to
get ahead of the Grants, they've got to
know how to ride a bareback horse aud git
up before 5 o’clock in the morning, I teii
you! Talking about horses, hasn't the
old man played the deuce? I thought he
haci as much sense as I uaye, or, at least,
enough to keep his mouth shut; but it
seems I was mistaken, and the old man
has gone to work to tear down the Chicaw
go platform. (Please speii that word cor
rectly; I can't tiud it iu Webster's on
abridge and never can remember how to
spell; aud Wade,the old fool! He’s always
out when I want to know how to spell
anything. He’s a great speller, Wade
is; but all his Presidential hopes have
j been dis -spelled-, while many of my
j words they say, are mis -spelled.)
j But to the old man. He wrote me a
| letter the ottier day, referring iu
glowing terms to my horsemanship aud
i summersettiugs when a boy, and closed
! thus : “Now, my dear son, in view of
your proficiency in this line, and the great
| reputation I have given you in Bonner’s
! Ledger— iu fact, I’ve led yer iu to noto
: riety, you young scamp, you I—as an
equestrian, I think you will be able to fix
! some way to ride two horses going dif
[ ferent ways at tho same time ; that is to
I say, you can go for the nigger suffrage for
the rebellious South, and agin it for the
! loyal North, That’s the kick, you little
■ scape-grace, ycu ! And, as for summer
setting, you know you can’t be beat.
Why, it’s only a short time ago you told
a rebel General of Georgia that you were
opposed to the Radical policy, and if you
was President you would see that the
South was represented iu Congress ; and
then, turning over, you came down, iitir
and square, on the Radical reconstruc
tion plan. All ! Ulyss ! you are your
father’s hope—you are, as one. of your
sable brothers and supporters once re
marked of his sweet-scented colored babe:
“Him fader’s hope, him moder’s joy—
Him darling little Radical boy !”
That’s slightly altered to suit circum
stances ; but the scent I meant is tho same.’’
That’s the way the old man wrote, aud
now he’s talking aginst the platform and
the Niggers, and if somebody don’t stop
him, he’ll ruin everything. Do write to
him, my dear boy, and see what you can
do with him.
By the way, I must tell you of a con
temptible Copperhead joke which was
passed off ou me the other day. The in
fernal waiter at the hotel is a miserable,
ignorant, deluded Copperhead Nigger. At
dinner, he wiil insist on offering mo Peas
every time I ask him for anything, i
asked him the other day “what the devil
do you bother me with your peas all the
time for ? You know that I can’t bear
peas.” .’
‘•Ob, excuse me, sir,” said the contempt
ible fellow’. “I saw in your letter where
you said ‘let us have jieas,’ and I thought
you liked ’em 1”
Somebody sot him up to it, you bet. So
no more from your Presidential friend,

Secretary McCulloch responds to.Com
wisrioner .Rollins, whose resignation is
; again returned, “that this communication is 1
partial because it attributes the present do- i
ranged condition of the internal revenue !
service to the removals and appointments !
made by the President, while it must be 1
clear to the mind of the Commissioner that j
this demonstration is attributable in part !
to the antagonism between the executive '
and legislative branches of the Government, i
which has prevented harmony of action be- '
tween them in regard to appointments and j
the Tenure of Office act; but mainly to the j
high duties upon distilled liquors, tobacco, |
&e., which have created an irresistible I
temptation to fraud on the part of revenue [
officers as well as on the part of inanu- !
facturers, dealers and others. It is incor
rect in that it. alleges that the numerous '
recommendations of the Commissioner for !
removals of assessors and collectors, even!
for the grossest misconduct, had been al- !
I most always disregarded, while the truth j
J is that in all cases in which recommendations ;
for removals were accompanied by evidence :
ofincomp tcncy or misconduct on the part I
of the officers, the recommendations were j
promptly responded to by the. President, i
It is unjust and disrespectful to the Presi
dent because the records of the Bureau
show that the failing off of the revenues in i
the districts in which removals were made i
by the President in 1866, was not com- !
paratively greater.than in the districts ir. i
which no changes took piace. That, in !
fact, the revenues of the fiscal year ending I
June 30, 1867, during which the removals i
were made, were entirely satisfactory, i
coming up very closely to the liberal esti- ■
mates of the Department, whiie the de- j
i moraiization of the service and the de- I
! dine of the revenues have chiefly occurred j
i during the present fiscal year, long after j
• the officers removed by the President had j
! been reinstated, or others whose nomina- |
j tions had been approved by the iSenale, j
' had taken the places of the appointees of j
j the President. It was for these reasons, j
; and no other, that the communication
! could not be received, and was returned
:to the Commissioner. The return of it is
i also justified by the fact that copies of it
were sent to the Press before it was hand
led to the Secretary. It must, therefore,
j have been intended for the public rather
than for the flies of the Department.
