A REMARKABLE SPRrNG.-A correspond
ent sends to the Journal Of Chemistry the
following account of a remarkable spring in
Texas:
"About sixty miles north of Galena, near
the town of Liberty, there is spring, the
water of which is quite acid, Stimulating
lemonade, and those who taste it like it so
much that they drink it almost immoderate-
ly. When you fee hot it is quite delicious;
and under any circumstances, whether hot
or cold, the drinking of it produces perspra-
ton, with no unpleasant effects afteiward.
The spring has no apparent outlet or inlet.
1t is probably sixty feet across it, and it is
covered with white froth or foam, which
on close examination appears like cream
tartar on a wne-cask. 1t kills insects,
worms, and other small animals that come
near and use it. No fish or or other evil
dence of life is seen within its waters

for four wears, unless the reapportionmenss
should have to be made In the mtao'o y
the term. ,.t,o
The Legissatfre would, of course m 'h e
new law require half of the Senators " 10
elected for four and half for two years. ;,
The Constitution says the State sn"ii 81, 70
divided into "not more IMAM io .,s. a.
tricts." That means, OF COURSE ,ua. w, "
number may be rs much less Us 'he ueh-
eral Assembly in its wisdom pias oe'ei'
,nine. II follows that the General Assem-
blv has thc,powcr to reduce the NUMBER Oh
Senators to twenty. Therefore, il there
are twenty Senators that cannot be unseat-
ed. it also follows that the General Assem-
Div may reapportion the Senator'S as re-
CURED by the Constitution, and yet that
there shall not be n single Senator to be
chosen by the people until the year 1873 !!
The twenty would spread their wings and
brood over the whole State! Or suppose
the General Assembly fix the number at
thirty-three, rs proposed by Speaker
TURNER. Then there would be thirteen
Senator's elected in 1871, and twenty IN 1878,
and this inequality would be perpetuated
In fact, the proposition that the State can
be redistricted for Senators, and yettwcnty
Senators hold over for two years, seems to
us to be absurd. Surely no man would
contend that the Governor cannot be i'm
peached and turned out Of office because
| the Constitution says he shall hold office
for four years. He holds it subject to inn
parchment and removal, and the Senators
hold subject to reapportionment and reno
val. OF course "the four-ycars Senators
have rs much right to their four years as
90 the oId-tcrm Senators have to their two
years." But neither class has any rights
which would conflict with a plain constitu-
tional provision such as the one requiring
rcapportionmcnt.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1871-01-27
ReaDportionment.

Those papers which could not believe
that anybody doubted the power Of the
General Assembly to unseat the four-years
Senator'S may read in the Wing of yeSter-
day an ingenious argument questioning the
existence Of that power. Before examining
the argument, we will state that such ques-
tons must be decided without reference to
the ability ana taithiulneSs Of the persons
concerned in the decision, and that if the
Constitution requires the unseating of the
four-years Senators, there will be no "vic-
Tins" Of legislative action. The victims i"
will owe their displacement to the opera
tion of the organic law itself. But, after
all, what poor compliment it is to such
men as LATHAM, HERNDoN, BEAZLEY, FITz-
PATRICK, the ANDERsoNs, TERRY, LEWIS,
PENN, TAYLOR, JOHNSON, ROLLER, PER-
Rim, FRENCH, and GREEvER, to say that if
they are unseated they can never more
hope to represent their districts-that their
constituents would repudiatc them. All
we can say is, that this "argunenl - has
no force with us. We are willing to let the
people pass upon the merits of their pub
for reelection or fear condemnation.
The first point made in the Wings argu-
ment Is that, as the Constitution says these
Senators shall hold their seats for four years,
the Legislature cannot shorten their term.
That argument would be conclusive if there
were no constitutional provision qualifying
the one referred to. But since the Consti.
tuition, after fixing the term of Senators,
adds that they shall be reapportioned at the
end OF every ten years, it follows that so far
from Qualifying u constitutional provi-
sioD," or interfering with the tenure OF
can officer whose term of office is fixed in
"the State Constitution" the General AS.
sembly in unseating the four-years Senators
would only be giving force to a constitu.
tional provision, and ending Senatorial
term exactly in the manner prescribed in
the State Constitution. The same Consti.
tuition says the circuit judges shall hold of.
fee for eight years. But it also says
that the General Assembly may re-
arrange said circuits, or any Of them,
"and increase or diminish the number
"thereof, when the public interests shall
"require it." Cannot the Legislature I'M
seat any circuit judge? II SO, would that
act be "ipterfering with the tenure of an
"oticer whose term Of office is fixed in the
estate Constitution" Surely not. 1t
would only be constituting two provisions of
the Constitution Us common sense requires
them to be construed. Nor would it be
otherwise In the case Of the four-years Seua-
tors. The provision requiring reapportion-
ment requires all the Senators to be reap
portioned. The provision fixing the term
OF Senator's at four years is qualified by the
ono requiring reapportionment. They hold
