to any definite decision with reference to
reform. Several Ministers are opposed to
any kind of reform bill, and others

London. 9th inst, says:
The Times, to-day, in an article on
President Johnson's message, saws
that it agrees with the position taken
by the President on the Alabama
claims, that the questions on that
subject should be definitely settled.
1t argues that the settlement of the
affair would conduce to the more per-
feet harmony of the two Governments,
and regrets the delay already incurred
in the matter.

A YOUNG lady, Miss Jennie Davis.
lost her life in Pittsburgh last week by
the explosion of carbon oil lamp. in
a very inexplieable way. The lamp
was fastened to the wall at the time and
was not being handled in any way un-
usual, but exploded at touch bY the
unfortunate girl, the flames setting her
clothes fire and so burning her that
she died. The subject was made a
matter of investigation, with the fol-
lowing result as quoted by the Chroni-
e &c: It Is a matter well worthy Of atten-
ga specimen of the oil used in the
lamp by the explosion of which Miss
Jennie Davis lost her life on Thursday
morning last, has been tested by COM
petent men, and pronounced safe, It
killed Miss Davis nevertheless. To
explain this accident, therefore, we
must have recourse to something be-
sides the ''dre-test." Il is said that the
dregs which collect in the burner of a
lamp from tho wick, If not frequently
removed generate a gas which NAV
cause an explosion in time. This
may, and apparently must account for
the late accident. The remedy is a
simple one; clean your lamps daily,
and the danger is PemoSai. That the
majority Of explosions is caused by
impure oil there is no doubt. We are
informed by one OF our most prominent
oil retiners that but very little good oil
is disposed of In the home market. The
eastern and foreign trade demands an
oil that will stand 'sflre testn of no
degrees Fahren heit. Our citizens
generally purchase an inferior article
simply because it costs two or three
cents per gallon less. OF course the re-
tail dealers must gauge their supply by
the demand, and the elements OF death
are distributed to every house in the
city. 1t this parsimoniousness, this in
comparable meanness will not give
way to terrible experience, the strong
arm OF the law should intervene to pro-
tect the innocent. Every refiner who
allows benzole to become an ingredient
OF his product, should be spotted as a
malefactor. The exigencies of the case
demand the closest Investigation and
the most stringent regulations.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION
Some discussion has arisen as to the
succession to the Presidential office in
case Mr.. johnson dies or is removed.
Tho constitution declares only that the
Vice President shall succeed the Presi-
dent and that Congress may, by law,
provide for the case of removal, death,
resignation, or inability, both of the
President and Vice President, and such
ofilcer shall act accordingly, until the
disability be removed, or President
shall be elected"
SUnder this clause, Congress passed a
law, on the LIST of March, 1872, provid-
ing that the President of the Senate
shall succeed the Vice President, and If
there be no President OF the Senate,
then the Speaker of the House shall act
HR President pro tempore. Some are
lRboring under the INSTRUMENTATION
that the officer thus succeeding to the
Presidency would I'LL out the regular
term. This is not the case; for the law
referred to. provides for a special cleo
ton as follows:
''Sec. 10. Whenever the Offices of
President and Vice President shall
both become vacant, the Secretary of
State shall forthwith cause a notifica-
ton to be made to the Executive OF
every State, and published in at least
one of the newspapers printed In each
State, specifying that electors of the
President and Vice President shall be
appointed or chosen In the several
States, within thirty-four days preced-
ing the first Wednesday in December
next ensuing, II there shall be the space
OF two months between the date of such
notification aud the said Wednesday.
But II there shall not be the space of
two months between such date and
such Wednesday, aud II the term for
which the President and Vice President
last inofflCe were elected, shall NOT ex.
pire on the third day OF March next
ensuing, he shall specify In the notifi-
cation that the electors shall be an
pointed or chosen, within thirty-four
days preceding the first wednesday in
December, in the year next ensuing,
within which time the electors shall be
appointed or chosen; and they shall
meet and give their votes on such
Wednesday, aud the proceedings and
duties of the electors and others shall
Dc pursuant to the directions above
prescribed"
Thus the President pro tenpOre could
act as suGh only till the 4th OF March
next ensuing after the election above
provided for. s5-.-s==
A difference OF opinion arises as to
whether the President chosen at this
special election shall serve full term.
or only fill ont the unexpired term Of
the regular President. It seems clear
that the latter Is the true construction
of the act. Some unconstitutional author
titles claim that ga Vice President, as the
constitution now stands, cannot be
elected until the regular periodic The
provision OF the law in respect to him,
therefore, would bevoid. Thus, in case
OF Mr.. Johnson,s removal by death, or
otherwise, the President of the Senate,
or Speaker OF the House would sue
coed; special election, for President
only, would DO held In the fall of 1867;
the President thus elected would serve
tin March 4th, 1869; the regular election
coming on as usual in 1855.

of fraud to the extent of millions of dol

Two distilleries, one at Blissville, L.
l., and the other owned in Brooklyn by
a company of Germans, were not long
ago seized and closed by the Govern
ment, but compromise was affected
by the company, which paid over the
sum of s143,OOO. The Commercial Id
VeftiSer describes new difficulty into
which the proprietors have fallen:
"The owners then went to work os-
tensibly to manufacture burning fluid,
but the government detectives have
been watching them closely, and yes
terday the same distilleries, as well as
two others in New York, and one in
New Jersey, owned by the same COM
pany, were seized. According to the
Information given to the United States
District Attorney, it appears that the
manufacture of burning fluid was only
a sham; that alcohol was distilled, and
then mixed with about ten per cent. of
spirits of turpentine and other mate
rial, which gave it the appearance of
burning fluid, and in this condition 1t
was taken from the distillery. BY a
