The Senatorial Succession .


The death Of Andrew Johnson has
suggested much speculation Us TO Tue
manner Of the filing the vacancy oc'
casioncd by that calamity SecI'oh .
of the Constitution OF the United States
nroyidcs as follows for the filling OF
~yocopcies in the Senatorial representa-
ton of any State:
SECTION 3.--The Senate of The Uni.
ted States shall be composed OF two
Senators from each State, chosen by
the Legislature thereof, for six years,
and each Senator Shall have one vote.
Immediately after they shall be assem-
blcd in consequence Of the first cleo
ton they shall be divided rs equally MS
NAV into three classes. The seats OF
the Senators Of the first class shall bC
vacated at the expiration OF the second
class, at the expiration Of the fourth
year; and of the third class, at the eX
piratio Of the sixth year, so that one
third may be chosen every second
year; and if vacancies happen by re
~sigDation or otherwise during the re
cess Of the Legislature of any State
the Executive thereof may make TEN
porary appointments until the mex
meeting of the Legislature, whicl
shall then fill such vacancies.
The Nashville Banner says: Wheth
er by "the next meeting of the Leg
stature" is meant the next rcgu!a
session, or Il be made to apply to
called session or not, is also a subjcc
Of speculation. At all events there
no pressing ~ immediate necessity 0
occasion for u temporary appointment
though the vacancy would probabI
have to be filled before the next legula
legislative session. If temperate
filed by appointment, the next Legs
laturc TO be chosen in 1876 would hay
two Senator'S to elect in the sessio
Of 1877.

that the "New Issue" vas not illegal
and would be valid in payment OF
debts due the Bank, and thereupon re-
mandcd the cause for further proceed

As it stands before the Chancery
Court now, the case is in a certain
sense two fold. The first is G contest
between two classes of creditors OF the
bank, holders of "new issue" and de-
positors. The former, as far as they
appear in this suit, represent S305,ooo'

"No very reliable estimate of the
aggregate loss to wheat, corn and 9TH
or crops in the State, can be made at
present In some sections the estima.
ted damage is so per cent, in others a
much greater per cent, and in many
localities the entire crop is destroyed.
From the most reliable information the
loss in the central and southern por.
tons OF the State will aggregate SO TO
60 per cent. of the entire crop. In the
low lands along the Wabash river, it
has been estimated that 1000 acres of
