(CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.) death, resignation or otherwise; the military appointee is thus required to perform the duties of a civil officer according to the law of the State, and as such is required to take an oath, and is for the time being a civil officer. What is his character ? Is he a civil officer of the State, or is he a civil officer of the United States ? Where is the federal power under our Constitution which authorizes his appointment by any federal officer ? If, however, he is considered a civil officer of the United States, as his appointment and oath would seem to indicate, where is the authority for his appointment by the Constitution ? The power of appointment of all officers of the United States, either civil or military, where not provided for in the Constitution is vested in the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. With this exception, that Congress, by law vests the appointment of such inferior officers as they think proper in the President alone. In the courts of law, or in the heads of departments; but this bill, if these are to be considered inferior officers within the meaning of the Constitution does not provide for their appointment by the President alone, or by cobets of law, or by heads of departments, but vests appointments in a subordinate officer, so if we put this question and fix the character of the military appointee, either way this provision of the bill is equally opposed to the Constitution. Take the case of a soldier appointed to perform the office of Judge in one of these States, and as such to administer the proper laws of the State, where is the authority to be found in the Constitution for vesting in a military or executive officer strict judicial functions to be exercised under the law. It has been again decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, that acts of Congress which have attempted to vest executive powers in the judicial courts of judges of the United States are not warranted by the Constitution. If Congress cannot clothe an officer or soldier of the army, the part of the President to assert his own constitutional power, may under pretense of law, be met by an official insubordination. It is to be feared these military officers are looking to the authority given by these people have ever been willing to confer upon the head of the Executive Department, though chosen and resposible to, with judicial duties over the citizens of the United States, who are not in the military or naval service, so too it has been repeatedly decided Congress cannot require State officers, executive or judicial, to perform any duty enjoined on him by a law of the United States, how can Congress then confer power upon an executive officer of the United States to perform such duties in a State ¥ If Congress could not vest in a judge of one of these States, all judicial authority under the United States by direct enactment, how can it accomplish the same thing directly by removingthe State Judge and putting an officer of the United States in his place ? To me, these considerations are conclusive of the unconstitutionality of this part of the bill before me, and I earnestly command their consideration to the deliberate judgement of Con-

gress. Within a period less than a year the legislation of Congress has attempted to strip the Executive Department of the government of some of its essential powers. The constitution and the oath provided in it is devolved upon the President ; the power and duty to see that the laws are faithfully executed. The constitution, in order to carry out this power, gives him a choice of the agents and makes them subject to his control and suj >ervision but in the execution of these laws. The constitutional obligation of the President remains but the power to exercise that constitutional duty, and is effectually t iken away. The military commander is, as to the power of appointment, made to take the place of the President, and the General of the army, the place of the Senate, and any attempt on themselves. Th» remedy must come from the

people themselves. They know what it is and how it is to be applied. At the present time they cannot, according to the forms of the Constitution, repeal these laws. They cannot remove or control this military despotism. The remedy is nevertheless, in their hands. It is to he found in tlie ballot-box. It is a sure one, if not controlled by fraud, or awed by arbitrary power or form of party, on their part too long delayed with abiding confidence in their patriotism, wisdom and integrity. I am still hopeful of the future, and that in the end the rod of despotism will be broken, the armed heel of power be lifted from the necks of the people, and the principles of a violated Constitution preserved. (Signed,) ANDREW JOHNSON. Washington, July 10,1867. The Protection Theory. The Doctrine of protection of domestic industry has attained its highest development in the proceedings of a Republican county convention in Pittsburg, which has insisted that the exclusion of foreign manufactures shall be followed by the exclusion of foreign laborers. Logically, perhaps, the demand is a proper sequence of the prohibitory principles as applied to the tariff. If it is right to keep out of the country the product of foreign labor, because, being cheaper, American labor can not complete with them without loss and degradation, it would be equally right to keep out foreign labor itself. But what would then become of the manufacturing interest, to which imported labor is necessity or of the manifold advatages which flow from emigrant industry. Exclude foreign workers, and many branches of manufacture would be brought to a standstill. In the bare proposition the manufactures may see one of the difficulties which their prohibitory doctrine is calculated to produce. They call for protection for the sake of higher profits, and their workmen call for protection with a view of higher wages. One is as rational and just as the other, but they happen not to harmonize in their bearing upon the high tariff policy of Congress. The case has a parallel in the wool trade. The woolen manufacturers agitated for heavy duties and got them. The wool growers in their turn agitated for protection and otained it. Protection in the latter instance, however, more than neutralized the advantage previously gained by the manufacturers, whom would have been better off with lower duties, and raw matrial imported free. The Pennsylvnia iron people may usefully note the fact before their workmen push their claim to pro-

tection much further.— New York Times.} Mr. Jones, who intended taking his wife out for a drive one day, asked his milkman (who had a very spirited horse) for the loan of the same; which request was granted. However, Mr. Jones was not argood driver, and had ’ great difficulty in managing the horse, which at last became ungovernable, and, to the great horror of Mrs. Jones, bolted with them. M. Jones did not know

what to do, and a serious accident seemed unavoidable, when, all of a sudden Mr. Jones remembering the service for which the horse was used, and calling out with a stentorian voice, “Milk oh!” the horse stopped instantly, to their great jov, at this familiar cry, and Mr. and Mrs. Jones got home safely, without any further incident, save that when they returned home in the evening, on passing a pump in the neighborhood, the horse would not stir an inch, until Mr. Jones got down and worked the pump handle a dozen times; after which operation it moved on directly; and to finish off the day’s pleasure, it stopped at all the customers of the milkman, in the road where Mr. Jones lives, his house being at the further end. The “light of other days” is now supposed to have been a tallow candle.

Wendell Phillips on Negro > Office Holding. Mr. Wendell Phillips, in the An- • ti-Slavery Standard, for this week, is “very glad to observe an increasing inclination among the colered . men of the South to claim a share ( in the future management of public 1 affairs,” and he notes with satisfac- 1 tion that the mayoralty of Richmond is claimed for a colored shoemaker, with three places out of five for blacks in the city council, and . says, “this is as it should be; we trust they will be elected.” He also hopes whereever the blacks will be in a majority “to see ere long the offices in their keeping.”— “This,” says Phillips, “is the logical sequence of their emancipation and enfranchisement.” He then , flogs the editor of the Tribune and 1 other lagging radicals into the , ranks in the following paragraph: —lnd. Herald. “Whether voluntary or not, the i Republican party or a more worthy successor, must, at an early period, throw wide open the door of official station to the blacks upon equal terms with the whites in both State and National Governments despite the protestations of the Tribune, and the weak kneed and i blindly selfish politicians. Two colored men have served Massa- 1 chusetts in the capacity of legisla- * tors with credit to the State and honor to themselves. We shall ’ not object to an “arm in arm” spectacle, when it shall consist of a i Massachusetts President and a I South Carolina Vice President, white and colored respectively, to be duly inaugurated in official position in the National Capital. To this good we are tending. We j shall leave no stone unturned to < hasten the day.” ■'* * I A Valuable Receipt.—A correspondent writes to the Philadelphia Ledger, that experience has < convinced him that a coat of gum copal varnish, applied to the soles of boots and shoes, and repeated as it dries until the pores are filled, and the surface shines like polished mahogany, will make the soles waterproof, and also ( cause them to last three times as long as ordinary soles. A young lady who had been languishing for several years in St. Louis under a mysterious disease which baffled the skill of the most , eminent physicians, it has been ascertained by a dentist, was dying , from a slow poison distilled , through the system by the amalgam . with which two of her teeth had t been filled. ! A Portland paper says that a 5 State constable was noticed in one of the churcues of that city on 1 Sunday, with a sharp eye on the I sacramental wine. Under the liq- ! uor law of Maine, clergymen are all liable to imprisonment, as the r gift of cider or wine of any kind is as much a crime as its sale.

“See here!” exclaimed a returned Irish soldier to a gaping crowd as he exhibited with some pride his tall hat with a bullet hole in it. “Look at that hole, will you ? You see if it had been a low crowned hat I should have been killed outright. The Indianapolis Herald says it is estimated that at least one-half of the Republican Senators are candidates for the Vice Presidency. Wade, Fessenden, Wilson, Howard, Trumbull, and Yates, are the most prominent ones. The flag of the new Dominion of Canada will retain the British union jack in the comer, and the remainder will be filled with four stripes, red, white, blue and green, to represent the four Provinces, which used to be. General Sheridan, at a dinner given by him on the 4th of July, at his headquarters, refused to allow the health of £he President to be drank. A harmless indulgence , of spleen. Garribaldi announced to a great meeting at Pestia, that the time will ' come to relieve Rome of the Papal ’ power, and restore her ancient freedom.
