This vote disposes of the question for the
present session, being equivalent to an adjourn
ment sane die. 1t was understood that the pre-.
siding officer had some doubts about the regu-
larity of motion to adjourn SINE die, hence the
postponemcnt to the first Tuesday of October
Upon that day the Legislature may meet in
two ways: by adjourning until the day; or by
being called together by the Governor Either
of which contingencies is not likely to occur
Or the Legislature, by joint resolution, might
resolve again to go into Convention, and re.
considering the vote to postpone, proceed to
an election.
In the meantime there is a probability that
the seat occupied by Mr.. COOPER will be for a
time vacant. Congress meets in December
and until the election by the next Legislature
Pennsylvania will have but one U. S. Senator
Some of the newspapers are investing Cover
nor Pollock with the power to appoint. Such
is not the case. U. S. Senator's are only ap
pointed to fill vacancies occasioned by death
