The fact that the peAt 4th arch

curious anomilies in our polite j history
1t has been currently assumed thst of
them would consist in elevating the Presi-
dent pro tenn of the Senate, and now
acting Vice President, Mr. Ferry, to the
Presidency of the United States for
twenty four hours. Further examination
however shows that this can not be, be.
cause Mr.. Ferry's term as Senator from
Michigan expires on the third of March,
SO thai he will be private citiz, o. the
next day, or at least but Senator re-
elect. but not sworn In. It will be nec-
cessary for the Senate. ther. fore, which
IS permanent body, to elect President
pro tenn to preside until the regular elected
Vice President of the U. s. shall tase his
place as presiding offer. The choice
will of course be made from am ng those
Senators whose terms continue bey md

regard to the telegram received from Gen.
Rnger. asking for further Instructions in

towards the riva! Legislatures, the cabi.
net was divided, several members advoca-
ting the sending of instructions to Gen.
Ruger 10 oust eight members v ho held
certificates of election from the Supreme
Court, while other members contcnled
that the Government had no right to tha,
extent; that it was the duty of the Federal
Government to SIMPLY sustain the leg .lly
constituted authorities and preserve the
peace. In this view The President y ssreeu.
and it was SO decided. After the adjourn
~ent of the csbine, legrxm was sen,
to Gen. Ruyer, announcing that his ex
plAnalion IF the action Of the military on
Tuesday last was satisfactory. and that
his course was fully approved.
The President has 10 doubt but what
all qa+ +stions growing out Of the Presiden

and that the coupne of good and patriotic
men in both parties will prevail. He
thinks Hayes is undoubtedly entitled to
'he electoral vote of South Carolina and
Florida, AMI perhaps of Louisiana, but
about the latter Stat,s he thinks there NAV
be some doubt on account of so many
complications surrounding the work OF
the Returning Board. but the eminent
gentlemen Of both parties who have been
wltnt sses of the operations of the Board.
he thinks, ought to be able to agree upon
verdict that will satisfy both parties
throughout the country.
