that their votes, added to the solid" Demo-
cratic vote, would insure his acceptance at
once.
Neither, by Cen BuTLERs rejection, would
the Presidents policy be rebuked by in
ference. The two South Carolina problems
submitted to the nations representatives.
are entirely distinct in their character. The
President, on his Inauguration, was called
on to say-and there was no possibility of
evading an answer-whether he would sus-
tain two Southern State governments by
the aid of national troops, or whether he
would decline to interpose and allow time
and events to decide these grave, but, i'll
one sense local disputes. lie believed, and
we have no doubt whatever he believed
after conscientious and prolonged consid-
GRAFTON of the question, that he had no con-
stitutional right to sustain the Republican
State governments by sending military
force TO uphold them. He so decided The
Republican Governors thereupon resigned,
and the Republican governments dissolved.
Whether the President was right or wrong,
he alone had the power to decide this ques-
tion. He was not sworn to please his party
or the Senate, but to act as the Constitution
interpreter in this class of questions. He
recognized the facts, not HAMPTON the
situation, not NICHOLS. II is not the Presi-
dent or his constitutional advisers, hut par
asitcs and irresponsible partisans, who have
ever claimed that the Executive officially
decided the merits, the dc jure merits, of the
South Carolina and Louisiana governments
His decision was distasteful to q large class
of the best element of the party that elected
him. But that political fact docs not alter
the constitutional fact that the President
alone had the right TO act according to his
own convictions of duty and Interpretation
of law.
The Senate now has an equal right, and
the sole right, to decide who was elected
Senator from South Carolina. An investi-
cation of the situation when Gen. Buffers
so-called election was held will sweep away
every vestige of his claim to seat in the
Senate.
The body claiming 10 be he Legislature Of
South Carolina-"hc HAMPTON Lcgis,dture'-
had not a constitutional quorum in the Lower
House. II had no Senate at dH II did not
pretend 10 hare a constitutional Senate Yet,
on the credentials signed by HAMPTON,
founded on an election" held by this Rump
Legislature, Gen. BUTLER has the amazing
audacity to ask scat in the Senate of the
United States!
We shall state tomorrow the facts and
the law to prove the absolute and undis-
puted illegalty of the HAMPTON Legisla-
turc at the time that il went through the
form of electing Gen. BUTLER. Mean
while, we ask the Senate to allow this
famous "fire-cater" to cool hi, too ardent
ambition in the lobby. An investigation
or debate will soon expose the hollowncss
of his claim. He need not stay in the lobby
as long as Republican claimants were kept
there. The gross injustice done to Mr..
PINCHRACK should never be renewed on
any other claimant, whatever may be his
politics; but Senator CAMERON and Senator
CHRIsTIANCY. who know Gen. BrTLER's
record, should be given ample time to pre-
sent the evidence that must convict him.

THE Sultan of Turkey has shown his appre-

MUKHrAR PAsHA by comforting upon them
the title of "Ghaz," which means Conquer

damaged the Russians pretty badly, have not
rs vet conquered them, 1t does seem that the
Sultan is a trife precipitate. The war is not
over yet, and it could not he other than graf
ing to the feelings of OsMAN PAsHA and
MuKlITAR PAsHA if, just after they had been
permitted by Imperial decree to call them
selves conquerors the Russi ans should turn
round and conquer them. Such things have
happened before now, and they may again.

Of the views of the M. xican Govern

that the present treaty does not prohib-
it the surrender of Mexican citizens to
be tried in the United States for offenses
committed on United States soil, and
that the Government may, in its discre-
tion, surrender them, 1t says that the
action of the Executive ia ordering the
surrender Of the raiders who attacked
the Rio Grande jail WAS in accordance
with advanced and enligh ;sned primer
pies of international ! W and comfy,
and required by the peculiar circum-
stances Of the crime. IL adds: "If the
Government has duties towards citizens
it has also information ,Guties, to which
it would be unfaithfu, il it refused it's
assistance in the ex Gu ion of salutary
Justice"

THE UNITED STATES SENATOR
Ht SHIPS.

WAsHINGToN. Nov. TN. correction
OF general misapprehension itmay be
stated that the. elections yesterday in
New York, Connecticut, and Wisconsin
do not affect the United States Senator
ships, except so far as the hold-over Sem
ators may, control them. A majority in
both hoases, however, Is important in
this respect, as redistricting of the States
may have great bearing on the complex
ion of the lower houses to be elected next
year. In Connecticut and Wisconsin
one-half the Senate and the whole of the
Assembly are elected annually. In New
York, although the Assembly are elected
annually, the total number of Senators
are chosen every alternate year. The
Senatorial elections in the three States
above named will not TAX place before
the month of January, 1879, as the act of
July %, 1866 (of which the late Senator
Morton was the author), provides that
the Legislature of each State which is
chosen next preceding the expiration of
the atime for which any Senator was
elected to represent each State in Con-
gress shall on the second Tuesday after
the meeting and organization thereof
proceed to elect Senator in Congress.

Jennie-Barnum's tigress-got loose
yesterday morning in the building used
as menagerie at the Central Park, N.

Ing into winter quarters and the vans
containing them stood In the Park In
frost Of the Arsenal and opposite the
menagerie. Each of the vans was back
ed up in its turn to the doorway leading
into the menagrie building, inside Of
which the keepers rolled to the door what
is called shifting cage. This was a
wooden affair, not unlike hencoop, with
q vertically sliding lath door The men
never got the shifter near enough to the
rear door of the van, and had any beast
been so inclined 1t could have escaped
with ease. The lions, leopards and
others were driven into this shifting cage
by men who raised the side shutter of the
van and poked the brutes with a rod.
Everything seemed to 60 along smoothly
and to the great satisfaction of the men,
women and children, who, despite the
remonstrances Of Mr.. Mcdonald and
Others, would crowd about the vehicles
and the doorway. At last o van contain
Ing "Jennie,' the tigress, was backed up
and her ladyship unaerwent the coaxing
process preparatory to her transfer. The
boys and children closed In again about
the doer and were on tiptoe to see her
spring into the shifter.

the doors Of the edifice were closed,

They had lost all interest In the tiger as

feel as they fed precipitately in every
direction. Boys scrambled on top of the
vans. Men essayed to get into the sea
lions enclosure, while others never stop
ped to breathe or look behind theml un-
til they had got clear of the Park alto
gether. Meanwhile the keepers were
trying to recapture the liberty loving
Jennie. They related to the Herald re-
porter, who with the rest was momenta-
rily expecting to see her tawny carcass
crash through one of the windows, that
she took refuge behind a cage and under
one Of The windows, the fragile nature OF
which she did not know. The shifter
with open door, was pushed close up to
her and the men with uplIfted arms
threatening to whip her hemmed her in

Jennie was not fractions. She took ref.
uge from her pursuers in the shifter, and
was trapped before any harm was done.
