Junction City, Kansas,
THE sENAIoRsHIP WILL BIZ VACANT"

We have received private letter from Wash.
sng.on, In which an allusion 10 made to a speech
Of Senator Fessenden, in the case Of Mr.. Harlan.
Senator from Iowa. whose seat was contested in
1856. AS We find an extract at hand. We pub
lieh it. together with sentence Of the letter.
The extract is as follows:
"Then, Mr. President, another point arises,
which l wish to state to the Senate distinctly.
1t Is this= What particular Legislature is re-
fcrred to, when the Constitution says that this
Powe~ shall be exercised by the Legislature of the
State? What Legislature does it meant The
Constitution Of the United States does not define
The language is general. It's the Legislature
The answer however, is ohyious-itis the Leeis-
lature which is to elect the Senator. What f-a~
islature is that! The Legislature that is in
existence at the time the vacancy happens. No
other Legislature has the slightest power over it.
] agree with the Senator from Louisiana upon
that subject. No previous legislature is the
agent; no previous Legislature can pass any
law which can have binding effect upon the
Legislature. which is the agent to make the
election. That power is conferred upon the
specific Legislature which is in existence ut the
time the power is to be executed. Its me,s brrs
are the agents. They have the entire control of
1t. They may exercise that power as they please,
within constitutional limits because being a
mere matter of agency, the Legislature of the
State at the time vacancy occurs being the sole
agent of the General Government to accomplish
particular purpose. the previous Legislature,
net being such On agent. can exercise no control
over it."
The letter we have received is from high
source. and worthy Of confidence 1t says. in
speaking of Carney's election: Mr.. Fessenden
continues to adhere to his opinions entertained
st that time, and they are universally approved
by Senators now. They regard the whole thing
- bold humbug. and freely declare that unless
the Legislature elect next winter the Senatorship
viii be vacant"

PACIFIC RAILROAD.

Bill, to amend the Pacific Railroad Law.
hos been introduced into the United States Sem
ate asking for MORE TINE TO COMPLETE THE FIRST
be added to the thirty miles now allowed, in
which to select their land.
In reference to the extension of time, we have
this to say, that if company cannot build
road up perfectly level valley one hundred
miles IN two years, it is doubtful whether the
right company have the contract. and besides,
when will the road at that rate reach the Pacific
We do not wish to throw o stone in the way
Of the completion of the road, but We do say,
that if the company get their time extended, SO
that it will take three years to make one hen
dred miles of the road, then it will most likely
happen that that one hundred miles of the road
will be the sum of the Pacific Railroad built in
this State. Look at it as We may, the chances
for monetary crisis. to be most severely felt BY
the time the war closes. is among the things
highly probable. And it is not difficult to FORE
see. that such STATE ui things will greatly re-
fard the work for the time, if it does not suspend
it altogether. If SO. is it wise to extend the
tiinef If the company cannot build the ruad
VIC """ufeu Wiles IN Two years, let US know It.
60 that We may prepare for the worst. Now we
nave means and appliances enough to build the
road through Kansas, and we have right to
expect that it will be pushed through The
company have had ample time to build one hun
dred miles of the road now. If they cannot
build the road in time to protect the interests of
Kansas and to be of some value to the Govern.
ment. 1t is better they should forfeit their right,
and let other parties undertake the work
We trust the Senate of the United States will
not allow the company an hour more then what
they now have. Let the company first show
their energy and will in complying with q law
unusually liberal. and then it will be ample
sary.
