DrarR or THE VICE PRrs,nrrT.-

| DEATR OF THE VIcE PREsIDEsT.-
Mr.. King is the fourth Vice President
that has died during the conlinuancs
lof bis term OF Office, since the organ
ization OF the Government in l7S9.
George Clinton, of New York, the
Vice President elected on the ticket
OF Mr.. Jefferson. in 1904; EIbridge
Gerry, OF Massachusetts, elected with
Mr.. Madison. 10 1912. and Daniel D.
Tompkins, of New York, the Vice
President under Mr.. Monroe, in
1921, all died before the expiration OF
their official terms, and are the ree
preceding instances to which we re-
Ter. The mortality among those who
have occupied that station has been
greater than with the Presidents, on.
ly two Of whom have died while in
the discharge of their official duties
at w ashingion, viz: General Harri-
son. in 1S4l, and General Taylor, in
1850.
Since the formation Of the United
States Constitution the people have
elected twelve persons to the Presi-
dental chair, all of whom are now
dead, with the exception OF Martin
Van Buren and General Pierce
During the same period OF time thir.
teen persons have occupied the posi-
ton Of Vice President, but four Of
whom are now living: Martin Van
Ruren, John Tyler, George NJ. Dali
las, and Millard Fillmore. The Pres.
ident who lived the longest after va
eating the Presidential chair was
John Adams, who survived that peri
cd twenty-five years. His son, John
Quincy Adams, and James Madison,
rank next to him in that respect, both
living nineteen years. Mr.. Polk died
within three months after he IeIi the
seat Of Government, and Gen. Wash
inglon lived but a little over two
years after he returned TO the shades
Of M. Vernon. Among the Vice
Presidents, Aaron Burr lived over
thirty years after his term of office
had expired, and John Adams was
survivor about the same period Of
time. II is a singular coincidence
that three of our Presidents who fig
ured in the days of the revolution ex
pired on the 4th Of July: John Ad-
ans, Thomas Jefferson and James
Monroe, the two first named, both
dying on the same anniversary, being
the fiItieth one from the time indie.
pendence was declared in I776.-
Samuel L. Southard, of New Jersey,
President pro ten. OF the Senate,
performed the duties OF Vice Presi,
dent under Mr.. Tyler, when he was
elevated tc the Chief Magistracy by
the death Of General Harrison, died
while serving in that capacity, in
