THEORY ABOUT THE PRESIDENTIAL Sue
cEssToN.-The newspaper goSsips have found
mares nest, aud are busy over it, viz ::
The succession of the Presidency if Johnson
IS deposed. The Constitution provides that
Congress shall declare, 10 case of the remov-
al, death, sgnatiOn, etc., of the President
and Vice President, what officer should act
as President The question now raised is.
is the President pro tenn, of the Senate such
an 'ottlcer' as contemplated by the Constitu.
ton! 1t is coutended by them, that neither
that person nor the Speaker of the House
are Officers, and, therefore, are not eligible.
The matter was debated at great length in
the session of 1894. and Mr.. Madison spoke
and voted against the proposition, that
either OF these persons could succeed 10 the
Presidency. The bill then passed the House
by vote of 26 to 25, Mr.. Madison voting
nay. If the view taken by Wade's oppon,
sents shall prevail, the mantle will fall on the
Chief Justice. Indeed, it is stated that
should Wade ascend the throne, Chief jus
tice Chase will contest his right to do so
before the Supreme Court, and will tecaoiru-
late former and repeated deci ions, both of
the Senate and House, that their own mem.
oers are not Officers within the moaning of
the use of that word by the Constitution. A
decision of the Supreme Court is, therefore,
1t Is said, relied upon to upset so much of
tne act OF the last Congress as names the
Chef Justice third in the order of success
sion, and to bring that .oficer' into the fore
ground as the one to have been named first.

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the House, Edmuuson introduced q
resolution to take possession of the bars at
the mouth of the Mississippi river aud to con.
struct caDas without expense to the Governs
ment. Referred to the Committee on Com
merce.
Brooks saidyhs would avail bimself at a
proper opportunity, as prvileg question,
to refer to the official report of the impeach.
ment trial in connecting the Managers with
the Alta Vela affair. The Speaker said the
question could only be entertained by unani-
nous consents Books gave notice that he
would bring the tgatter before the House as
soon as the return Of the members from the
Senate chamber. IS
The resolution that Brooks proposes to
submit rectes thai, s'h appears from the res
cord Of the High Court of impeachment
that the Managers selected by the House to
prosecute the trial had, after articles had
been laid before the Senate, addressed a
letter to the President couuselling him, while
thus accused, to seize the guano island, Alta
Vela, valued OF over million dollars there.

directed to sppear before the bar of the
House and explain the cause or reasons
which induced some Of them to offend in the
trial by entreatiug the President to sign
such apapenH -2t3 'sJ''
Upon the return of the members Brooks
desired to submit this resolution.
Washburns inquired whether it was offer
ed as question Of privilege. The Speaker
said the Managers being under control of
the H6hss the Hdnse. could require them to
answer. It was so held 10 Warren Hastings

were present. 10 - 12E nt
Brooks replied that be would not press
the proposition, but desired to know to what
time the geutleman thought il should go

The RAILROAD MEETING, at the Court House,
on Saturday last, was well attended, and great
enthusiasm prevailed. The report of Judge
Mix, which will be found in another column,
was well received, and throughout its delivery
was greeted with cheers. At the conclusion of
Judge Mix's remarks, Mr.. vansyckle was called
for and delivered pertinent speech. Mr.. Newell
was also called out and met and refuted the
objections that had been urged against build>
ing the road. The movement gains strength
every day, and If vote was taken tomorrow,
We doubt whether twenty persons would be
found opposed to the Railroad.

where out Of Eve hundred peach trees that bore
last year but one tree shows signs Of " bloom +"

70 very many enterprising settlers who had
hoped this year to gather some return for their
expenditure of time and money in planting or
eoards. We trust that further advices will show
blight.

the Plains. the indians making charge af-

the troops were contained only few bushes

made several charges and rode around
their breast-works. 4 The Indians were
