PRESIDENT AND SENATE, vi a PEZ MSCE BETWEEN THE TWQ IS NOW SQUARELY JOINED, Mr. Cteveland Presents, in a Ciea and Forcible Manner, his View of the Power of Appointment and Removal, The President's message to the Sen- d ate in regard to its demands for papers :r r was received when the Senate was in secret session. When it was laid be fore the body Senator Harris proposed I that it be read with closed doors. C Senators Kenna and Van Wyck pro tested against 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 fobowing i- its full i text: To the Senate qf the United States: Ever since the beginning of the present session of the Senate the dif ferent heads of departments attached to the executive brau~ch of the govern ment have been plied with various requests and demands from the con mittees of the Senate, frona member-. of such committees, ana at last from the Senate itself, requiring the tratns mi.sion of the reasons for the suspen sion of certain official,. during the recess of that body; or for the paper. touching the conduct of such officialk; or for all papers and documents relat ing to such suspensions; or fur a!. docuiments and papers filed in such depa.tmenats in relation to the manage ment and conduct of the offices held by such suspended officials. The dif ferent terms from ttnte to time adopted in making these requests, and the de mands or the order in which they sue ceeded each other, and the fact thai whei made by the Senate, the resolu tion for that purpose was passed in executive session, have led to a pre- e sumption the correctness of which t wifi, I suppose, be candidly admitted, that from the first to the last the in formation thus sought and the papers thus demanded were desired for use by the Senate and its committees in considering the propriety of the sus pensions referred to. Though these suspensions are my executive acts, e based upon considerations addressed to me alone, and for which I am whol ly responsible, I have had no invita- t tion from the Senate to state the posi tion which I have felt constrained to assume in relation to the same or to interpret for myself my acts and mo tives in the premises. In this coudi- t don of affairs I have foreborne ad dressing the Senate upon the subject a lest I might be accused of thrusting myself unbidden upon the attention of i that body; but the report of the Com mittee on the Judiclary of the Senate, lately presented and published, which censures tne Attorney-General of the United States for his refusal to trans mit certain papers relating to suspen ( dons fromoffice, and whi-h also, if I , correctly interpret it, evinces a mi apprehe'nsion of the position of the , Executive upon the question of such suspension, will I hope justify this y commnnitioad6n This report is pred- , icated upon a resolution of the Senate t directed to the Attorney-General, and i hisiepl' to.the same resolution was witr the consideration of nominations for-offie. 'It required the Attorney- e General "to transmit to the Senate a * opies; of all documnents and papers a thatibave been filed in the Department ~ -ofiustiee -since the 1st day of Jann. 5, arv, 1885, in relation to the manage- a ment and conduct of the office of Dis trict Attoruiey of the United States for ~ the Southern District of Alabama." The incumbent of this office, on the ~ 1st day of January, 1885, and until the 17th, day of July ensuing, was George M. Dustin, who on the da:. last mentioned was suspended by ex- e ecutive order- and Johu D.- Burnett was designated to perform the duties j of said offlce. At the time of the ~ eissg etl the resolution above re- C fere ~ to the nomination of Burnet' v for said office was pending before the ~ -Senate, and all papers relating to said nomnination were before that body for , ~ils inspection and infortnatiou. It, reply t'kikis resolution, the Attorney General, alter refer ring to the tact that c the papers-relating to the nomiuation ti of Burnett had already been sent to the Senat', stated that tie was directed -~ by the Pr~esient to say that the papers ti and dociuments which were mentioned d ins said ros'dumion, and still remaining a in the custody of this Department, 6 having exclusive reference to the sua- 5 pension by the President of George M. Dustin, -the late incumbent ot the ~ office of District Attorney for the , Southern Diatrict of Alabama, it is not considered that the public inter- h ests will be promoted by a compliance c with said resolution and the transmis sion of the papers and documents therein mentioned to the Senate in executive session-. *Upon this resolution and the an- t swer th-ereto the issue is thus stated by g the Committee on the Judiciary, at the - outset of' the report: - "The important ~ question, then, is whether it is within the constitutional competence of either y House of Congress to have access to h the (mifal papers and documents in ~ tU-e various public offices of the United Staten, created ->y the laws enacted by o themselves." g I do not suppose that the ptublic 14 officers.otf the United States are regu- a lated or controlled in their relations to either.House of Congress by the fact r that they were "created by the lswi enacted by themselves." It must be t that these instrumentalities were cre- t ated for the benefit of the people and r to answer the general purposes of the ti government under the Uonastitution i( and laws, and that they are unencum bered by any lien in favor of either branch of Congress growing' out of -their construction, and unemabarrassed te y~b any obligation to the Senate as the ' rice of their creation. \ 1he complaint of the committee that ace.ass to the official papers in the pub- 0 lic offices is denied the Senate is met q by the statement that at no time has it ~ been the disposition or intention of the ' President or any department of the a executive branch of government to n withhold from the Senate official docn- . mnents or papers filed in aty of the ~ public offices. While it is by no meatns 0 conceded that the Senate has the right ! in any case to review the acts of the ~ Executive in removing or suspending t ~~~a public officer upon official documents ' C~r otherwise, it is considered that thev documents and papers of that nature should, because they are official, be t freely transmitted to the Senate upon e its demand, trusting the use of tn-e same for proper and legitimate pur- a poses to the good faith of that body, p and though no such paper or document! al has b. en specifically d'emanded i-i any a cf the-reques'- and demand, made on a the das.-en, yet a often a they n ere found in the public ofices they tve been furnished in answer to such >plications. Tho letter of the Attorne.y General response to the resolution of the enate in the particular case mentiored i the committee's report was written my suggestion andby ny direction. 'here have been no official papers or ocunents filed in his department elating to the cases within the period pecified in the resolution. The letter ,as intended by its description of the apers and the doicuments remaining 3 the custody of the department te onvey the idea that they were not fficial, and it was assunied that the eolution called for the intforiation, apers and documents of the same haracter as were required by the equest and demands which preceded . Everything that has been writici or done on behalf of tiA Senate fron he beginning has pointed to all letters und papers of a private and unofficia iature as the objects of the search, i hey were to be found in the depart nents, and provided they had beer >resented to the Evecutive with a riew to their consideration upon the uestion of suspension from office. kiraitist the transnission of suc oapers anddocuments I have interposed 11% advice and direction. This has lt been done, a, is suggested in th< omumittee's seport, upon the assumnp ion oil my part that tI e Attornse) ;eneral or any oiher bead of a depart rient "is the servant of the Presideni ad is to give or withhold copies o0 tocuments in his office according to he will of the Executive and not therwise," but because I regard the apers and documents withheld and ddressed to me or intended for my use ud action, as purely unofficial and rivate, not infrequently contidential, lid having reference to the perform ace of a duty exclusively mine. I onsider them in no proper sense a, pon the files of the department, but s deposited there for my convenience emaining still completely under my ontrol. I suppose if I desire to takt hem into my custody I might do so rith entire propriety, and if I saw t to destroy them no one could com lain. Evet the committee in its report ppears to concede that there may be vith the President or in the depart aents, papers and documents whict u account of their unofficial character re not subject to the inspection o: ougress. Reference in the report t<. be instances where the House of Rep esentatives ought not to succeed in a all for the production of papers is nmediately followed by this state sent: "The committee feels authorized ) state after a somewhat careful re earch that within the foregoing limits ere is scarcely in the history of thi overnment until now any instance o1 he refusal by a head of a department r even of a President himself, to com iunicate official facts and information s distinguished from private and nofficial papers, motives, views, rea Ln and opinions to either House of ongress when unconditionally de iauded. To which of the cjasses thus recog. ized do the papers and documents elong that are now the objects of the enate's quest? They consist of the Ltters and representations addressed : the Executive or intended for his aspection. They are voluntarily rritten and presented by private citi ens who are not in the least instigat. d thereto by any official invitation ot t all subject to official control. While ame of thesin are entitled to exe-mtive ~ansideration many of them are st -revelant or in the light of other facts : worthless that they have not been iven the least weight in determining ie question to which they are suppos d to relate. Are all these, simply ecause they are preserved, to be cont idered official documents and subject > the inspection of the Senate? II ot, who 's to determine which belong >this class? Are the motives and urposes of the Senate, as they day by ay develope, such as would bes satis ed at my selection? Am I to submit >them at the risk of ~being charred rith making a suspension from office pn evidenoe which was not even 2nsidered? Are these papers to be ~gardedl as oifficial because they have ot only been presentmed but preserved ipublic offices? Their nature and 'iracter remain the same, whether ey are kept in the Executive Manwion r deposited ini the departments. here are no mysterious powers of susmutation in departmental custo y, nor is there magic in the undefi ned d sacred solemnity ot department le. If the presence of these papers. Spublic offices is a stumbling block a the way of the performance of enatorial duty, it can easily be re loed. The papers and documents which ave been described derive no official aracter from any constitutional, atutory or other requirement making em necessary to the performance of e official dnt5' of the Executive. It aav not be d'enied, I suppose, that e President may suspend public offi r-s in the entire absence of any paper r documents to aid his official judg ent and discretion, and I am quite repared to avow that cases are not a w in which suspensions from offices ave depended on oral representations ade to me by citizens of known good ~pute, and by members of the House F Rpresentatives and the Senators of ae United States, more than upon any tters and documents presented for y exatr ination. I have not felt justi ed in suspecting the veracit y, integ ty and patrioti-m of the Senators or ~noring their representations because ey were not in party affiliations with e majority of their associates, and I call a few suspensions which bear e approval of individual members lentified with the majority in the enate. While, therefore, I am constrain~ed >dispute the right of the Senate to te papers and docutnents described, so ir as ttie ramIt to the same 's based on le claims that they are in any view E the subject official, I am led une aivocally to dispute the right of the enate, by the aid of any documents hatever, or in any way save through judicial process or trial of impeach Lent, to review or reverse the act of te Executive in the suspension, dur a the recess of the Senate, of federal ficials. I believe the power to re loe or suspend such officials is vested the President alone by the Consti tion, which, in express terms, pro ides that the "executive power shall be ested in a President of the United tates of America," and that "he shall ke care that the laws be faithfully ecuted." The following is the concluding par traph: "Neither the discontent of arty friendis, nor the allurements con ~ntly offered in the .confirmation of poiitees, nor the contention and rowal that susa'ensions have been iade on art rou~ndsaoane, nor the threat proposed in the resolutions now before the Senate that no confirmations will be made unless the demands of that body be complied with, are sufficient to discourage esr deter me from following in the way which, I am convinced, leads to the better gov ernuent of the people." WHAT TIIE PAI'Es SAY. The President's Vight is the Peoplei' Fight and they will Stxnd by Him. (.From the Ner Tork Star.) Thoe Democratic Senators who view the President's action with alarm do not, we fear, cr-mprehend the mat ter at issue. The question is iot whether a few Democrat% more or less shall iminediately obtain uffices, but whether the execuive power of the United States shall be exercised by the man to whose hands the people confided it. Once before the people withdrew that po% er from the Repub lian party, but, bv audacimus traii on one ide and tiniid leadership on the other, the Republican politirians set the popular will at defiance and seized and held the power denied them. Now the reinant of that revolutionary party is trying to accomplish by in trirue and obstruction the thing that bolder rascals achieved openly nine years ago. The outraged people al last see that their chosen leader is ready to make their fight, ani, it will o hard with any Democrat who now falters or falls to the rear. The President's fight is the people' fight. It is the fight of tle- Denocratic party to whoin the people gave power. Democrats will stand togeiher in -up porting their leader in the "ontebt. Sneh considerations as an t-fhee more or less, or a delay inl confirunng up pointuients, will not concern then. They are arrayed once more againsi their old antago)nists, and disconenits and disappointments will disrppear iN the joy of combat. The g od cld partv is always at its best in a fight. Nothing else so fills it with enthutiasm and fuses it into unity. It delights tc stand by a man who has the pluck tc 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 roundet oath that the people have elected him President, and President he means t be. (From the Waitshington Post.) That all true believers in our systetr of constitutional Gover.nment cordiall. endorse these enlightened and patriotic sentiments ought to be granted withoul argument. ( From the Ncw York Timeq.) The message is very frank, plain anc straightforward, and that it is strong may be interred from its effect upon Senator Edmunds. It threw that gen theman into a fit of petulance that tip set his recollections of history and caused him to indulge in very nudig nified and foolish language. (rom the Phiaddlphba Times.) The President has answered the extraordinary demands of the Senate in a special message, in which ie frankly and forcibly sets forth hi: position on the questions which thc Senate has raised. It is not surprising that Mr. Edmunds was displeased wit L this message, for it is one which he will not find it easy io discredit. (From Philadephia Press, Blaine Organ.) The position taken by the President is illogical, undemocratic and unjust His elaborate defence does not bear examtination. He has invited a eon troversv with the Senate in which the latter has only to do nothing in ordet to win, and it does not require a very sanguiue spirit to predict for' it sac. cess. ( From New York Tribune, Blaine Organ.) The mnessage sent to the Senate by President Cleveland is an extraordi nary document. THE CHINESE INtVASION. Transferring the M1ongolian H ordes from the Pacific to the South and East. Itn the last few days largee numbers of Chinese from California have passed through El Paso on their way to New Orleans and to Texas cities. 31any of them are also local ing ina the Territori al to)wns of New Mexico and Ariz ma. San Francisco is represented as: s warm ing wvith Mongolians who have beetn driven out of Oregon a,'d Washington Territory and the pre-sure, it is claim ed, is being relieved by the "Six Comn panies" shipping them East, where the antagonism against the Chinese is not as strong as on the Pacific Slope. This influx, however, into the Territo ries of Arizona and New Mexico has ar(ouced latent antagonism there, anid Anti-Chinese Leaguea have already been organized at Socorro and other towns in New Mexico, and at Tucsont and Tombstonie, Arizona, wvhich places are suffering from the Leavy increase in their Chitnese population, and which mnay lead to their violent eviction, as was recertly the case in Washitngtoni Territory. Was it Cancer ? I have been taking B. B. B. for six or seven weeks for something like cancer on my neck, nnd I would not take ONE THOU SAND DOLLARS for the benefit received. I had previously tried various so-called blood remedies, but B. B. B. is the best, the quickest and the cheapest blood pur. fier I ever used. I refer to any merchant of Griffin, Ga. J. U. BARNES, G'iffiu, Ga, Were we so disposed, we conld make a great case of cancer cure of the abovo, but as we do not think that genuine can cers are ever cured, we do rnot prCopose to hubug the public. The above is perhaps only a case of scrofulous ulcer, wvhich B. B. B. cures more speedily than any renmedy. It will cure any so-called cancers in one half the time and one third tihe money required by any boasted remedy. BLO'OD BALM CO.. * Atlanta, Ga Beaten to Death.

What is Thought about the D~ecision De clarinig it Inivalid. ( from the Kenr (and Cuoirbcr.) .The news of the decision of th( u United States Supreme Court in th( revennte bond scrip cases in favor o: thie State created something of a senisa titn 011 Broad street. The broker, were, a, a general thing, disposed t o L< non-comtetat, atthot.gh it was~ frechi aditdon all sides that the deci.-it r.lieved the State of a very grvj.ed bur deni, and that its effect would be to Sadd consitderable stitlfiess to the mar* ket for State securities.

Emerging from a severe and long spell of typhoid fever, I discovered that the fever had settled in liy right leg; which caused it to swell to an enormous sn.e, remaining so quite three years, resisting all treatment. A small uleer finally made its appearance a little above the ankle which r-fused to heal to any and all exter nal applieation and the use of the most noted )l odl poison remedies. The ulcer continued to enlarge, fre quently discharging, perhaps, as much as a cupful of pus or matter per day The size of the ulcer was about two inches in diameter, extending to a depth near the bone. At one time it appeared that the flesh in all contiguous parts, would surely become a running sore, as its peculiarly I flabby, spotted and unhealthy condition clearly iudicated, and it was intimated that 1 miight lose my leg. My condition becoming so critical, and the ulcer enlarg ing so rapidly, we sent for Dr. J. P. Drom gool)e, who made a thorougn examination, I and said that the flesh on my leg for six i-hes around the sore would soon slough off if not remedied; that I must have my ieg bandaaed daily and commence the use of B. B. B. I acted according to his instructions, and aftor usuing the second bottle, the ulcer looked fresh and healthy and commenced healing. I continued the use of B. B. B., and to the greatest astonishment and satis faction of myself and friends, the ulcer coitiiuted to heal rapidly and is now en tirely well, and I am attending to my busi ness at W. H. Brotherton's store. I do not hesitate to recommend B. B. B. as a wonderful, speedy and effectual blood purifier, far superior to anything else I ever used. I refer to W. H. Brotherton, W. B.
