PRESIDENT AND SENATE, \\ ME I ss M; BETWEEN THE TWO IS NOW MM'A lil.i. y JOINED, plr, Clovoluiul fr?nenla, in A Cleur ?ml Forelblo Minuter, HI? Vlo\r of Hiv l'owur of Appointment timi Removal. Tho. President's message to tlie Son an) iii regard to ils demands for pape? was roceivod wlien the Senate was in secret session. When it was laid he fore the bod) Senator Harris proposed that it be read willi olosed doors. Senators Kenna and Van Wyek pro tested against Ibis proceeding and de manded that the doors ho opened. After a brief debate Senator Harris withdrew Iiis proposition, and when the doors were opened, the message was read. Tho lol.owing b its tull toxt: To t't ; Senate of thc United ?States: Ever since the beginning of tin present session of thc Senate thc dif ferent heads of departments attached to the executive branch ot the govern ment have been plied wit ii various requests and demands from the coin mi I tees ot the Semite, from incmbei> ot such committees, amt ut last from the Senate itself, requiring tho trans mission of thc reasons tor Ihn suspcii sion of certain officials during lin reces-of that body; or for ihe paper-* touching thc conduct of Mich officiais; or for all papers and documents reisl ing to such suspensions; or for al documents ami papers tiled in such depu tmuHts in relation tn the manage ment and conduct of (ht; offices html by ouch suspended officials. Thc du toroid terms from tinto lo time adopted in making those requests, and thc de mand.- ol' the order in w Inch they Mic cceded each other, and ihe fuel that when made hy thc Senate, tho resolu tion for thal purpose was passed in executive session, have lcd to a pie sumption ibo correctness of which will, I Suppose, bc candidly admitted, that trout the ?lrst to the last thc in formation thus SOUglll anti the papers thus demanded were desired for u?e by the Semite and ils committees in considering the propriety of thc sus pensions referred lo. Though these suspensions arc my executive acts, based upon considerations addressed lo me alone, ami tor which 1 am whol ly responsible, I have had no invita lion from tho Senate to state the posi tion which I h ive foll con-trained to assume in relation to tho same or lo interpret for myself my acts and mo tives in tho premisos. In this condi tion ol allans I have forcboruc ad dressing the Se?ale upon the blibjcct lest I might bc accused of thrusting myself unhidden upon thc attention ol that body; but thc report ot tho Cotn mlttee on the Jud'clan ol' the. Senate, laielv presented and published, which censures thc Attorney-General of the United States for his refusal to trans mil certain p ipers relating to suspen sions from office, and whl h also, if I correctly interpret it, evinces a rn apprehension ot thc position of the Executive upon ibo question of such suspension, will I hope ju ?ti fy ibis communication. This report is pred icated upon a resolution of the Senate directed to the A dorney-(j encrai, and his rep Iv to tho same r?solution was with ho consideration nf nominations for office. IL required the Atlornoy Gciiei'ttl "lo transmit to the Senate copies of ad docuincuts and papers that have bet"!! ff!? d in tho Department of Justice -ince I he l>i day of Jami arv, lss?.in relation to ibo uianuve incut an i conduct of the office ot' Dis trict Attorney of the Uni I cd Stales foi the Som bern District ?d' Alabama." The incumbent of this office, on the 1st day of January, I88?, and until the 17tll day of duly ensuing, was George M. Dustin, who nu the du. last mentioned was suspended by ex ecutive order anti John I), itu mott was designated io perform the dude* of said office. At thc time of thc passugo ot thc resolution above re ferred to i bc nomination ot Burnett for said office was pending before lin Senate, ami all papers relating to said nominal iou were before ihat body foi its inspection ami information. In reply to this resolution, the Attorney General, niter referring to thc ft ct thai thc paper- relating to the nomination ol' Burnett hail already been sent to thc Senat., stated that bc was directed by the Piesi?CIII to say that the papers amt documents which were mentioned in said resolution, and still remaining in thc custody ol' (hi* Department, having exclusive reference to the sus pensi?n by thc President of George M. Dustin, the late incumbent of thc office of District Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama, it is not considered that the public inter ests will be promoted by a compliance with said resolution ami the transmis sion of the pupers and documents therein mentioned to the Senate in executive session. Upon this resolution and thc an swer thereto thc issue ls thus stated by the Cominiitec on thc Judiciary,-ut thc outset ot the report: " The important question, then, is whether it is within the constitutional competence of either IJoii-o of Congress to have access to the official papers and documents in tl.O various public offices of the United States, cr?ai fl ny 'Ja> Jawf. enacted by thcuisclvjea'." I Ato not suppose that tho public 'olficers of Hie United State* are regu lated or controlled in their relations to either House of Congress by thc fact that thov wero "created by the law enacted by themselves." It must be that these Instrumentalities were cre ated for thc benefit of thc people and to answer the gouoral purposes of tho government umlcr the Constitution and lawn, and that they are unencum bered b> any lieu in favor of cither branch of Congress growing out of their construction, and unembarrassed by any obligation to thc Semite as thc price of their creation. Tho complaint of tho committee that arc'KS 'o the official papers in the pub lie offices is denied tho Se?alo is met by thc statement .dial at no time i. . it ""Ween the disposition or intention of the President or any departiin/nt of tho executive branch of government to withhold from tho Semite offloiul docu ments or papers tiled in any of the public offices. While it is by 110 means conceded that tho Senate has tho right in any oase to review tho acts of tho Executive in removing or suspending a public officer upon official documents cr otherwise, lt is considered that thc documents and papers of that nature should, because they aro official, be freely transmitted to the Sonate upon ii- demand, trusting the use of the same for proper and legitimate pur? l>o-es to the good faith of that body, and though no snob paper or document has le en Mpeclfh ally demanded in any , t the i. .?o.s - a ?tl demand- made on tho depHiunen', w t as often as they .vere found In tb? public offices thpy j t have boon furni?bed lu auswer to such I t Tno letter of tho Attorney C?enoral t lu response to Hie resolution of tho t s ri i.iie iu the particular ease uieutioi cd i in thu commut?e'? report wu* written i at my suggestion auden* n.y direction. < 1'lie rc have been no official papers or documents tiled in his department relating to the cases within tim period , spool fled in thc resolution. The letter was intended by its description of the papers and thc documents remaining in the custody of tue department lo convey the idea timi they were not ? Hi.-1 ai, und it wus assumed that thc resolution called for tho inhumation, pupers and documents of tho bailie character as were required bv the request and demands v. hieb preceded H. Everything that has been written or done on behalf of the Senate from the beginning has pointed to ail letter* and papers of a private and unofficial nature as thu objects of tho search, ll they wore to be found in the douait I monis, and provided (hey had been I presented to tho Executive with a view to their consideration upon the question of suspension from oltlc.e. Against tho transmission of such papers and documents I have interposed ni) advice and direction. This has nui bren donc, a is suggested in the committee's teport, upon thc ussutnp? ion on my part that t'e Allome) (Jouerai or any other head of a depart mont "is thc servant td' ibo President md is to give or withhold copies ot documents in bis office aeeordiug lo the will of thc Executive und not otherwise," but because i regard the papers ami documents withheld and uldressed lo me ur intended for my use oui action, as purely unofficial and private, not infrequent!) coutidentiai, and having reference to thc perform ance of a duty exclusively minc. I consider them in no proper sense as upon thc liles of the department, bm as deposited there for my convenience, remaining still completely under Ul) control. I suppose if I dc-dre to tuke them into my custody I might do so with entire propriety, and if 1 saw tit io destroy them no ono could com plain, Kern thc committee in its report appears to concede that there may be with thc President or in thc depart ments, papers and documents which on account of their unofficial character are not subject to the inspection ol Congress. Reference in tho report to the instances where thc Uotiso of Rep resentatives ought not to succeed ill a call for tho production of [tapers is immediately followed hy this state ment : "Thc committee feels authorized to state alter a somewhat careful re search that within thc foregoing limits there ia scarcely in the history of this government until now any instance ot thc refusal by a head of a department or even of a President himself, to com municate olllcial facts and Information as distinguished from private and unofficial papers, motives, views, rea son- und opinions to cither House of Congress when unconditionally de manded. To which of thc classes thus recog nized do thc papers and documents oolong that arc now "he objects ol the Senate's quest? They consist of the letters and repr?sentai ions addressed . o lint Executive or intended for his inspection. They ure voluntnril) written and presented by private citi zens wdio arc not in thc least inst ?gat od thereto by any official invitation or at all subject to official control. While -orne of them arc entitled to executive consideration mail) ol' them ure so irreveluut or in the light of other facts to worthless that they have not beim given the least weight in determining the question lo which they are suppos ed to relate. Arc all the-e, simply because they arc preserved, to bu con sidered official documents and subject ?0 tho inspection of the Senate? If not, who s to determine which bolong io this class? Arc tho motives and purposes ot thc Senate, as they day by day devclopc, such as Would be satis tied at my selection? Am I to submit io them at thc risk of being charged wit h making a suspension from office upon evidence which was not even .oiisidered? Are these papers to bc regal dod as official because, they have not only been presented bul preserved u public offices? Their nature and character remain thc same, whether they arc kept in thc Executive Man-ion ?r deposited in tho departments, There arc no mysterious powers of transmutation in departmental custo dy, nor ls lhere magic in thc undefined and sacred solemnity ol department ti'cs. If ibo presence of those paper? in public offices is a stumbling block in the way of the performance of Senatorial duty, it can easily bc re llim ed. Thc papers and documents which have heirn do-cribed derive no olllcial character from any constitutional, -tatutory or other requirement mukiug ? hem necessary to thc performance ot thc official dnty of the Executive. It mav not be denied, I suppose, that Mic President muy suspend public offi cers in thc entire absence of any paper or documents to aid his official judg ment and discretion, and I am quito prepared to avow that cases are not a few in which suspensions from office* have depended on orul representations made to me by citizens of known good repute, and by members of thc House of Repr?sentatives and thc Senators of tho United States, more than upon any letters and documents presented for my examination. I have not felt justi tiell in suspecting tho veracity, integ rity und pat riot 1-m of tho Senators or ignoring their representations because they were not in party affiliations with the majority of their associates, and I recall a few suspensions which bear tho approval of individual members identified with tho majority in the Senate. While, therefore, I am constrained to dispute the right of thu Senate to tho papers and documents described, so tar as thc rurui to thc same is based on tho claims that they arc in any view of the subject official, I am lcd une quivocally to disputo tho riidit of tho Senate, by tho aid of any documents whatever, or in any way savo through a judicial process or trial of impeach ment, to review or reverso tho act of the Executive in the suspension, dur ing thc recess of the Senate, of fedoral officials. 1 believe tko power to rc move or HU?pond such officials is vested in tho President alone by tho Consti tution, which, in expresa terms, pro rides that the ''executive power shall be vcsiod in a President of the United States of America," and that "he shalt lake care that the laws be faithfully executed." The following is the conelnding par agraph: "Neither the discontent of party friends, nor thc ?ilnreinents con .tautly offered lu the confirmation of tppofuteea, nor the contention and ivowid that f*nspeu?iori* have been made on ?arty grounds alone, nor the *****lassws MU? ?wm.??m.aw liront proposed lu tho resolutions now icfbro the Senate that no continu?t lom Viii bo Tilade unless tllO demands of hat boily bo compiled with, are luflieieut to discourage or doter me from follow big lu the w ay which, 1 tm convinced, lends to thc better gov ernment of the peuple.!' WHAT TUB PAPE1U* SAV. ine President'? bight is di? People's lilil? und llity will Stand by linn. (From tia New York Stur.) Those Democratic Senators who view the President's notion with abu tn do not, we lear, comprehend the mut ter ut issue. Tho question is not whether a few Democrats move or less shall iuniicdintul) obtain offices, but whet her ibo executive power of dio United Stales shall be exercised by thc man to whose hands thc people confided it. Once before the people withdrew thal power from the Repub lican tiarty, bm, tn auducious I mu? I on ono sido and timid leadership on the other, th?; lb-publican politicians set thc popular will at defiance and Beizcd and held the power dollied them. Now the remnant of that revolutionary party is trying to accomplish by in trigue and obstruction thc thing that hohler rascals achieved openly nine \ears ago. Thc outraged people at hist see that their chosen louder is ready to make 'heir light, ami it will I?O hard with any Democrat who now falters or falls to thu rear. Thc President's ilgbt is the peoplo'w light. D is (lie lie.In of the Democratic party to whom Ile people gave power. Democrats will stand together in sup porting their leader in thc ooiiteat. Sndi considerations as an nfhee inore or less, or II delay in coldham og ap pointments, will not concern them, riley aie arrayed once more against their old antagonists, and discontents and disappointments will disrppear in tho Joy of combat. Thc g od ?d?1 partv is always at its best ina ti^bt. Nothing else so tills it with enthusiasm and fuses it into unity, lt delights to stand by a man who bas the pluck to lead il, and old Jackson's "Dy thc Eternal" is still music to its cars. It will love Grover Cleveland nil the better if ho swears it still rounder oath that thc people have elected Ililli President, and President lie means to be. ( From tht Washington Post.) That all true believers in our system of constitutional Government cordially endorse these enlightened and lat riot lc sentiments ought to be granted without argument. ( From thc Xor York Time.*?) Thc message ls very frank, plain ami straightforward, and that it is strong may be interred from it? effect upon Senator Edmunds It threw that gell them a ll into a lit of petulance that up set his recollections of history and ?.ansell him io indulge in very undig nified and foolish language. ( From thr Philadelphia Times.) Thc President has answered the extraordinary demands of thc Seuato in a special message, in which he frankly and forcibly s?ds forth his position on thc questions which thc Senate bas raised, lt is not surprising that Mr. Edmunds was displeased with this tnossage, for it is one which he Will not timi it easy to discredit. (Itran Philadelphia Press, illtdiu Organ.) Thc position taken by thc President is illogical, undemocratic and unjust. His oluborulo dofeiioo docs not bear examination. He bas invited a con troversy with tin; Sonate in which tho latter has only to do nothing in order .'<> win, ami it doe-? not require ti very -linguine spirit to predict for it suc cess.
