THE President's long and elaborate
message to the senate in answer to the
Edmunds resolution , appeared in yes
terday's Journal and is the most respec
table document issued by Mr. Cleveland
since his candidacy for President began.
The Journal , as it has heretofore indica
ted , i-s of the opinion that the President
rightly apprehends his discretionary
powers'and that while the senate may
with propriety request such papers and
documents as may throw light upon his
reasons for making a change in federal
officers during vacation , or at other
times , the President has the right to re
fuse to transmit them if lie sees' fit to
do so.
Under the constitution and the tenure
ofoffice law as it was modified under
Grant , the executive has discretion to
remove any federal officer whose appoint
ment is in his hands , and an executive
( ir judicial officer cannot be brought to
1-ook for the exercise of his lawful dis
rretion except rjy way of impeachment
and a trial before the senate. It is true
that the removal of officials for political
reasons is not in accord with the Presi
dent's early utterances on civilservice
reform , but there is no law against the
exercises of the American right , enjoy
ed by presidents , senators , judges and
all citizens , of changing one's mind
about a little thing like that. For that
offense the President is arraignable at
the bar of public opinion , but not at the
bar of the senate. Journal.
In the "Hornets' Nest"at Shiloh.
From Colonel Lockett's article .ac
companying General Bnell's account of
Shiloh in the March Century we take
the following : "I witnessed the various
bloody and unsuccessful attacks on the
'hornets' nest. ' During one of the
dreadful repulses of our forces. General
Bragg directed me to ride forward to the
central regiment of a brigade of troop ?
that was recoiling across an open field ,
to take its colors and carry them for
ward. 'The flag must not go back
againhe said. Obeying the order , I
dashed through the line of battle , seized
the colors from the color-bearerand , said
to him , 'General Braggs says these col
ors must not go to the rear' . While
talking to him the color-sergeant wa
shot down. A moment or two after
wards I'was almost alone on horseback
in the open field between the two line
of battle. An officer came up to m
with a bullet-hole in each cheek , th
blood streaming from his mouth , am
asked , 'What are you doing with m
colors , sir ? ' 'I am obeying Genera
Braggs's orders , sir , to hold them wher
they are , ' was my reply. 'Let me have
them , ' he said. 'If any man but
color-bearer carries these colors , I an
the man. Tell General Bragg I wil
see that these colors are in the righ
place. But he must attack this position
in flank ; we can never carry it alone
from the front. ' It was Colonel Allen
afterwards Governor Allen of Louisiana
I returned , miraculously preserved , to
General Bragg , and reported Colone
Allen's words I then carried an order
to the same troops , giving the order I
think to General Gibson , to fall back
to the fence in the rear and reorganize.
This was done , and then General Brag
dispatched me to the right , and Colonel
Gardner ( aftenrards Major-General ) to
the left , to.inform . the brigade and di
vision commanders on either side that a
combined movement would" be made on
the front and flanks of that position.
The movements were made , and Prcntiss
was captured.1'
