PtScnBAcK Inns probably oycrrcachcl him.
self in his sharp practice to get into The
| ohitea states senate. P1NcunAoK was elect
cd ~ Senator III 1873, for tho term Of six
yecrs' beginning March of that ycar. Thia
election was mado by tho DunEL1-KEh1oao
Legislature, which Messrs. CARrENrEn LOGAN.
ANTHONY, ALcoRA, HILL, mud TnuMDu11, re-
ported to tho Senate never had legal exist
cnce. Tho Senate Inns ever since refused tn
ad'nlt P1scnnAcH on account of TINT fact,
On Monday night Of Inst week, plxounAcK
secretly deposited his resignation as Senator
under tho bogus election of 1873 with tho
Individual who is acting as Governor
OF tho State, aud next day induced
tile Legislature to elect him to fill
the vacancy. He has by his resigua-
ton divcsted himself Of oil title to tic
sent under the election Of 1873, and has
gained nothing by tho supposed new election.
The law on this subject provides that Sen
atora shall be elected by tho Legislature on
tho SECOND Tuesday after the organization
thereof. This is the rulo when tern, will
expire before tho next regular meeting Of the
Legislature, or where a vacancy shall exist at
tho time tho Legislature meets. But tho law
provides that "if vacancy shall lappon
during tho sesston Of tho Legislature, then (the
election shall take place) on tho second Tues
day after the Legislature shall have boon Or
ganized and shall have notice Of such va
cancy."
The Legislature Of Louisiana seems not to
have had any knowledge that P1SonnAox Ind
resigned; they thought they wero Selecting
lin over again." But P1SounAcK having ro-
aisnod jan. IL, his election on Jan. 1o to fill
the vacancy thus created was necessarily ills-
gat; TINT election could only taho place on
:" the second Tuesday after notice" of tic
resignation had been given to the Legislature,
Besweon the two stools the ambitious gentle.
man has hld fall.
There is no doubt on this subfect. The
letter Of the law il plain. Mr.. S0MNEn died
wednesday, March II, yet the Legislature
OF Massachusetts, then in session, could not
elect o successor until the second Tuesday
after notice Of the vacancy, which was
March 24.
On tho 4th Of March, 1879, HENRY WILSON
became Vice-President, thereby vacating his |
scat in the Senate but, In Wow Of tho law,
1t waa held that the election could not be |
held until the second Tuesday after notice
of the vacancy happening; so tho election
lid not take place until March 18.
The Senate is relieved Of his claim under
'he first election because Of his resignation,
md ILLS second olaction Is clearly void. We
link the Senate will feel gra.ifed with hav-
ng got I'D of this applicant for recognition
