WASHIN GTON:
TUESDAY MORNING, DEC. 81, 1852
Congress-.

IN the Senate, yesterday, the resignation Of
the Hon. w. R. KING as President pro tenn.
was received. The Hon. DAVID R. ArCHI-
SON, of Missouri, was elected President pro
lem. After variety of business, the Kentucky
contested election case was resumed. and de-
Dated by Messrs. DOUGLAS, CAss, RUsx, Sc
WARD, and Mason, and then by a vote of yeas
II nays 10, declared Mr.. Dixon entitled to the
seat.
The House of Representatives were engaged
in the consideration of an amendment tn the
rules, proposed by Mr.. Brown, of Mississippi
with view of facilitating action upon private
claims; and finally rejected it.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-12-21

The first question was express decided by the
Constitution, the second by an unhrokeu succession
of precodenis. Bledsoe resigned; did Mr.
Clay in 1912. Berrien in 1852, and Foote Ia the
same year. The third question also decided
by presidents. In IS42 the Legislature OF Ken
lucky prospectively filled the vacancy caused by
Mr.. Cay's resignation. The Governor Of q gia
prospectivey filled vacancy in 1852; and the
same was done in Mississippi in Governor Foote'S
case.
The only remaining question the fourth:
Could the death OF the resgning Senator defeat the
appointment Of his successor, pros pectively made?
No such event had happened yet, and therefore
there was no precedent. They were tn l"t to
reason a priOri. To him il clear that the re-
signation and appointment were not any
pressed condition that the resgnng Senator should
live until the day fixed for his retirement; but
that. on the contrary, 1t was unconditional and
absolute. The Senator who resigned, aiIi the State
who received the resignation, both greed that the
resignation should be unconditional and absolute
ON the face Of the transaction. The reaiguing Sen
ator had no reserved power over his resignation,
alter delivering 1t, TO revoke or defeat The pros.
pecuve appointment OF his successor The Senate
SO decided in Bledsoe's case. Nor could he defeat
II by retiring from the Senate at day earir than
the time fixed by his resignation; for, II he could.
1t would give him power to do Indirectly what
he could not do directly. Why could h" not thus
defeat the appointment Of his successor? Brcause
the act OF resignation. when delivered and received
and made the foundation OF another appointment,
is fat dccOmpti.
The vacancy being filed, and resgnation placed
beyond all revocation defeat by the resi- ning
member, he cannot defeat it by dying. whether his
death be voluntary Involuntary The frat resi- e.
nation being complete and indefeasi bile, the ap
polntment OF the successor was complete and indie
feasible. He considered the seat hen the
day arrived for the resignation to take effect; and
the appointment made pursuant to that resignation
went into operation. whether the Senator was dea
retired
MIR. 5. pursued his argument much further.
Mr.. RUSK followed, sustaining Mr.. Dixon 8
title to the seat; and
Mr.. MASON took the adverse view of it
Several Senators expressed desire that the vote
might now be taken
