IS Ke A O.levSZanil Present, la a clear sad - eriMbe Manner, hi* View of the Palp of Appointment and Bamoval. The President's message to the 8on lto in regard to its demands for papers Was received when the Senate was in secret session. When It was laid be fore the body Senator Harris proposed thatit be read with closed doors. Senators Kenna and Van Wyck pro tested al;ainst this proceeding and de manded that the doors be opened. After a brief debate Senator Harris withdrew his proposition, and when the doors were opened, the messago was read. The following i! its full text: To the Senate of the United States: Ever since the beginning of the present session of the Senate he dif ferent heads of departments attcuhed to the executive branch of the govern ment have been plied with various requests and demands fron the com mittees of the Senate, fromn members of such colmtittees, and it :ast from the Senate itself, requiring the trans mission of the reasons for the suspen. Sion of certain officials during th recess of that body; or for the papers touching the conduct of' such officials or for all papers 111 documents relat ing to such suspeslous; or for al documents and papers filed in suel departmnts in relation to the nanage mtent and conduct of the ofilces helt by euch 1'uspended officials. The dif tbrent terms from ttnie to titne adoptea i. making these requests, and the de nands or the order in which they suc ceeded each other, and the fact thl1 when made by the Senate, the resolu tion for that purpose wits passed i executive session, have led to a itpr bumption the correctness of whic will, I suppose, be candidly admittet that fromn the first to the 1ast the it formation thus sought nii the papel thus demanded were desired for u, by the Senate and its committees i considering the propriety of tile sil pensions referred to. Though thet sutspemions are my executive acet, based upon considerations addrebse to mhe alone, and For which I aml11 who ly responsible, I have had 110 inviti tion from the Senate to state the posi tion which I have felt constrained t asstuIe in re0lation to tile S111110 or t interpret for myself my acts and mc tives in the premises. In this condi tion of atlairs I have toreborne ad dressing the Senato upon the subjec lest I mtight be accused of thrusti; muyself unbidden upon01 the attentiull u that body ; but the report of the Con littee oil the Judiciary o I he Senate latelv presented and puiblished, whicl censures the Attorluev-(:eneral of th, United States for his retusal to trans nmit certain papers relating to suspen sions from ofilce, and whil. h1 also, if correctly interpret it, evinces a mis apprehension of the psition of tih Executive upon te luesition of sucl suspension, will I hope juatit'y tili cotmmunlication. 'his report is pred icated upon i re-solution of the Senat directed to the Attorn ey-General, an his reply to the same resolution wu with the conideration of nlomi-atiot for office. It requ(redi the Attorne3 General "to tanstllit to the Snian copies of all dlcumenlCts and1( pl)lP that havel' been tiled inl the1 Depa~irtme11 of Julstice since( thle l ,t day of' Jai arvW, 1885, ini rela3ltion to the( miiaa menilt at conduitct of thle oIc .10of Di trict Attorn,ey of the Uniitedi States It tile Southierna District of Atabamna, The~ inIcumbentClt of' this (ofliC, Onl t: 1st (lay of' January, 1885, and not1 tile 17th day of July enlsuinIg, wi George M.

Ujpon tis resoluto and01 11 the ain swer there'to the issu1e is thus stated b' thle Committee on the Judiciary, at Lhb 011tet of' tihe reo)rt : " tlhe impIior'tan quesionl, then, is whet her' it is withia the conistituitionaol c0 opetnce of eitheo House of Congreoss to have access tt the IIffleial paipers' andt dlocumenOlts ii the variiouis pub)1 'loies of' the Unites1 States, creaeds 'jy (the laws' enlacted b~ I (10 not 50)po.e 11hat tihe puibic officerse of1 the UIBtedi Statbes arle regu iated or' conItrl'led' in t heir irelationis to either House of Congress by (lie fact that they were "'cien~ted bv thie lsw enalcted hby tiemslCves." 10 must be that these inlshtumientalities wvere cro ated for tihe bienieh o)f the people and to ans~wer tile genieraliurposes of' the governmlIenit uni:ler the Coiistitution and laws, ami thant t hey arec mlnencum ber'ed by any lien mi fatvor of1 either01 braincih of Congress growing out of' thiir conistructional, an td unte 'lbiarre'~sud by anyv obligautiona to the Senaite as th prIice3 of their crealtion. The coroapiint of' tile commlnittee thiat acess to the oficial papeirs in (lie pub11 he l)ftIle is denieds the SenalIte is mtet by the staitemen'ilt thlat at 11oI llme hat it been the disposition or' inIten'Ition oif (lie Presidenlt 01' liny deparzltment of (lie execurive br'anch of goverlnent to Withhold from theu Senlate official (locu mets or palpers fIledlII illay of tile Kpublie offices. While it is by iio mean,s conicededl that the Senate hlas the right its any case to r'eview the acts of tho Executive In removing or' suspendling. a public officer u poll official documents ?r otherwise, It is conisidered that tile * doenineints and pa pers of that nature should, because they are official, be frelytranismitted to'the Senate upon Itteem3pand,. trusting the use of tne afh t' ro,per and legitimate pur PO8*0 the goodh faith of that body, -and though~ no such per or doecnment been apmelfleaullmapded in any r nest an demnands made oiu * 4.'Y. i tu yet as ofteon as they Wei "onu in t "j 31R' al btave bsw fairiWe4 is Rnewer to suo a appliadotns. . .W. ho Jett f the MAtortyGanMaral th in response to the tesolution of the su gensite an the particular oase uentioived fr in the committee's report was written ar at mV suggestion andby my direction. er There have been no official papers or documents filed in his department relathig to the cases within the period specified In the resolution. The letter r was intended by its descripdiou of the papers and the documents remaining in the custody of the department to convey the idea that they were not v official, and it was assumed that the d resoltuion called for the intormationt, tt papers and documents of the bamo' v character as were required by the I request and demands which preceded t it. Everything that has been written t or done on behalf of the Senate from ' the beginning has pointed to all letters < and papers of a private and unofficial s nature as the objects of the search, it 1 they were to be found In the depart ments, and provided they had been presented to the Executive with a t view to their consideration upon the t question of suspension from office. Axaintst the transmission of such papers anddocumonts I have interposed my advice and direction. This has not been done, a+ is suggested in the committee's report, upon the assumnp tion on my part that tle Attorney General or any other head of a depart. | inent "is the servant of the President i and is to give or withhold co pies of documents in his office according to the will of the Executive and not otherwise," but because I regard the papers and documents withheld and addressed to mile or intended for my use and action, as purely unofficial and private, not infrequently conflidential, and having referenco to the perform ance of a duty exclusively mine. I consider them in no proper sense as upon the tiles of the department, but as deposited there for my convenience, remaining still completely under my control. I suppose If I desire to take them into ily custody I might (10 so with entire propriet.y, and it' I saw fit to destroy them no one could com s plain. E4sven the committee in its report appears to concede that there may be with tihe President or in the depart ments, papers and documents which on account of their unofficial character are not subject to the- inspection of Congress. Referenee in the report to the istances where the House of Rep resenltatives ought not to succeed in a ? call for the production of papers is immediately followed by this state ment : "Tie committee feels authorized to state after a somewhat careful re search that within the foregoing limits there is scarcely in the history of this government until now any instance of the refusal by a head of'a department or even of a President himself, to con nunicate official facts and information as diNtingtuished from private and 3 unofficial papers, motives, views, rea son and optnions to either -louse of' Congress when unconditionally de manded. 'To which of the classes thus recog nized do the papers anad documents belng that are now the objects of t he Senate's quest.? They consist of the letters and representations addressed to the Executive or intended for his inspection. They are voluntarily written and presented by private citi zens who are not in the least instigat - ed thereto by anly official invitation or at mall subject to oflcial control. While some. of thesui are entitled to exe:mtive itconiderationa mnany of thenm are so ~irrevelant or in the light of other facts so worthless that they have not been given tihe least weight in (det ermininlg the quesxtioni to which they are sulppos e'd to relate. Are all these, simply becusethey are p)reservedl, to be con' idoeed official dlocumIfents anmd sublject to the inspectiona of' the Senate? If Ynot, wvho is to determine which belong .o this class? Arte the' miotiyes and( purposes of the Senate, as they day by day develope, such as wvould be sat ib efled at my selection? Am Ito submit to them at the risk of being chiargted et ivith makinag a suspenlsioni from office uiponi evidenc which was not even "conlsidlered? Arc these p)apers to be 'regarded as oflcial because they have Snot only been presented btut p)reserved t in public offices? Their nature and Sthey are kept In the Executive Mansion 0or deposited in the departments. 'There are no my steriotis piower's of transmmutation in departmental custo dy, nor is there muagic In the undefined gand sacred solemnmity of department fileo. if the presence of these papers mn public offices is a stuimblin g block mt tile way of' the perfornmace of' e Senatorial duty, it canm easily b)e re S The papers atid docuinmnts which e ave beeng described derive noe official chaactr fom nyconistit utionmal, statutor'y or othier requtireimnt mnakinig them necessary to tile p)erformance of Sthe official duty of tihe Executive.

While, therefore, I am constrained to disph)mie the right of the Sem,te to the papers and dlocumienmts described, co lii a astme right to theO same 's based onic time claims that they, are inl anmy view a Of' tI subject official, I -tam led tune. h (lmlvocally to dispute l righmt of the Senate, by tihe aidl of anly docuiimtsg whatever, or In any way save through a jtuicial process or tiIal of imapeach auent, to review or reverse time act of the Executive in time suspenshon, dm*r ini tile recess of the tSenate, of fedeal tci officials. i believe the power to re move or suspenad such o'ffic'ials is vested in the President alone by the Cn- ci tuuion, which, in exp)ress termsi vides that the "executive power shal be vested inm a Presidenat of the United w States of America," and that "he shall t take care that the laws be faithfully i executed." The following is the concluding par agraph: "Neither the discontent of party frlendm, nor the allurements con stanatly offered in the confirmationi of 'I appointees, nor the c<mtention ~and A avowal that stuspenslons have been 1 made@ oh ,aarty grounds alone, nor the F :t tc a lfien is; td X N itatOW ' III be tiade unilos the deaneud4 of at body be- eonpl.ed with, are oiolent to discourage or deter tue umu followitng In the way which, I a convinced, leads to the better gov ntwent of the people." WAT THE PAPERS SAY. to Presient's Wight is, the People's Pight and they will Staind by lia. (t rom the 1Vew York Star.) Those Democratic Senators who iew the Presideut's action with alarm o not, we fear, comprehend the mat r at isbue. The questf n is not thether a tew Domocratb more or sa1 shall imnedliately obtain offices, ut whether the executive power of he-United States shall be exercised by lbe tan to whose hands the people onfided it. Once before the people vithdrew that power from the ltepub ican party, but, by audacio us fraud on me side and timid leadership on the >ther, the Republican politicians set he popular will at deflance and seized md hold the power denied them. Now he remnant of that revolutionsry 3arty is trying to- accomplish by in rigue and obstruction the thing that )older rascals achieved openly nine ears ago. The outraged people at last see that their chosen leader is ready to make their tight, and it will ro hard with any Democrat who now raltets or falls to the rear. The President's fight is the people's lght. It is the tight of the -Democratic party to whom the people gave power. Democrats will stanid togrether in sutp porting their leader in the contebt. Such considerations as an ofhee more or less, or a delay in confirinng ap pointments, will not concern them. 1'hey are arrayedl once tnore against their old antagonists, and disconitets and dtisappoiittmhents will disrlpear in the joy of combat. The giod old party is always at its best in a fight. Nothing else so fills it with enthusiasm and fuses it into unity. It delights to stand by a man who has the pluck to lead It, and old Jackson's "By the Eternal" is still music to its ears. It. will love Grover Cleveland all the better if he swears it, still rounder oath that the people have elected him President, and President, he means to be. (From the Wfrashington Post.) That all true believers in our system of constitutional Government cordiallb endorse these enlightened and patriot ic bentiments ought to be granted without argument. (l+rom the New York Times ) The message is very frank, plain and straightforward, and that it is strong may be interred from its eflect upon Senator Edniunds. It threw that gen thetai into a fit of petulance that up set his recollections of history andl caused him to indulge in very findig nifled and foolish language. (From the Philadelphia Times. ) The Presidettt ias answered the extraordinary demands of the Senate i a special message, in which lie frankly and forcibly' sets forth hi, position ont the questions which the Senate has raised. It is not surprisitg that Mr. Edmuntds was displeased witIi this message, for it is one which lie will not tid it easy to discredit. (Froin Philadelphia Pres, Blainu: Organ.) The position taken by the President is illogical, undemiocratic atnd uni"ust. hlis elaborate dlefentce doees niot 'beatr exaination. iIe has intvit.ed a coit troversy with the Senate iln whIich the lattetr has only to do inothinig ini ordler to wint, and it does not require a very santguinte spirit to p)redict for' it suc cess.
