Who is to be the Senatorial successor OF OH
ZACH? is and has been the question upper
most in everybody's mind. The question ought
not to have renamed an open one for 30 long
tine as it has-indeed 1t has already become
complicated and every day OF suspense in
cresses the difficulties OF the situation. There
has already appeared a number OF candidates
for the place, and the field is being worked
with great gor and we fear With con- derable
animonys Tie delay IN filing the vacancy is
giving time for the friends Of each to work No
and consolidate factions and clques, whose in
feeling will not terminate with the filling OF
the vacancy.
The Governor has undoubtedly shown con-
siderable weakness in the hating and equiyo-
catlpg course pnrsued by HIM. 1t is now be-
coming painfully evident that he, too, has as
piratons to fill the place Of the dead Senator.
We say this because we believe he is Just now
looking for some~e1cuse for Calling an extra
session OF the Legislature, which. when con-
Vened' will be required to elect, when it is
plainly his duty to appoint for the remainder
OF the unexpired term, and save the heavy ex-
pense OF an extra session to the people,
AT the death of Senator Chandler there were
no complications, and if the Governor had
acted promptly it would have been impossible
10 have worked up the state OF feeling that
now exists, or formed the combinations that
have been worked up.
Al the time when Mr.. Chandler was elected
TO the vacancy created by the resignation OF '
MI Chrlstlancy, John j. Bagley WAS the most {
formidable competitor for the place. and was. r
after Mr.. Chandler, the choice of the peorle n, ?
Tue state Nothing had occurred to change t
that condition Of the public sentiment ND TO y
the death OF Chandler, and il the Governor o
had promptly named Bsgley, the whole matter s.
would have ended and everybody would b,ve o
acqulesced in the action of Governor Cros Il
weli' who could easily have justified himself 81
Tor the action, II justification were in anv de- IA
gree necessary. The whole matter has now 81
degenerated into warfare between the Cbard- tr
leF men land the friends Of Mr. Bagley. 1t is az
just possible that the Governor saw tins from va
the beginning, and saw a possible chance for pa
MI Croswell, knowing that the Chandler men 10
would favor any man who should slov th
strength before the Legislature. TO beat Ra,or In
Neither Mr.. Bagley nor Mr.. Crosweu. was 80

Gold has no other outlet, then, and runs int,
the Treasury just as water from rains ant
springs gathers in Q closed lake. There is nc
other place in the country where it can be KEEP,
in large amount, without cost or risk to tho
owner, and yet be used by him at will in the
form OF notes. He who holds a note owns
part OF the reserve in the Treasury; can use
1t any day at will; and yet has no risk IN guard
ing or hiding il. Hence great number of
such notes will at all times be used so long as
the law permits, and would be used if the notes
were not legal-tender. People need them.
and would pass them and take them, Just al
they need and use receipts for wheat in ware
house. There is no reason to believe that apy
smaller amount OF notes would now be wanted
II they were not lega-tender, nor is there any
reason to believe that the amount needed and
kept in use will grow smaller as long as the
Treasury keeps faith with the people.
The means OF the Treasury for paying notes
offered have increased in the ak months since
resumption began, and still increase. 1t had
then, and has now, a larger ratio of cash in
hand to notes afioat than the Bank of England
deems perfectly safe. In strIctest theory, the
cash balance available July 1, was s14s,47s.-
DOB ~; IN reality it was much larger THIS.
to protect S346,0sl, 016 in notes, of which about
$44, 100000 were then in the Trea.urv not
represented by outstanding certificates. More
over, the banks are obliged to keep on hand
about one third Of the United States notes re-
naming, as their reserve, unless they hold
'old, which they choose not to do. Virtually.
ne treasury has growing stock Of over $780,
oo'oOO In specie to protect about 100000. 900
notes not now in the Treasury nor required
y the banks But If at any time it should
eed more gold 1t has power in the Resump
ion Act to borrow any needed sum. The
ctual sale Of more than 100000, 900 OF four
er cent bonds within the single month of
pril proves that it can borrow, il need should
rise, gold enough to pay every note remaining.
ut as long as it keeps faith, it will have no
luse to borrow
Inc people will not fail to pay their notes
nless they are false to themselves. II party
'stils to the public faith should gain control, G.
ere would be no fear Holders mig Int then want
I'D in place Of notes. The danger would. not q
nake1 proposal to repudiate, but in some
heme to stop redemption of notes. or to cut
'wn revenues below the necessities OF tina
overnment so that its cash should be ex
listed, or to make such change in the state
foreign trade that imports should exceed d
ports, or to pay out for claims or public
'rks more money than comes in through
Iatlon. II the Treasury leaks-ir it paws
more than it takes in-its cash will be r
lined away. All wanton expenditure means
stiity to resumption as we'll as loss to tax
'ers. But against that danger, the barrier ia
honesty and good sense OF the people.

How Rooster Whipped a Fox.

w. p. Lewis, proprietor Of the "Gem
City, paper mills. has a miniature roo
logical garden at his mills al East Water
Street, and among the collection Of
birds and beasts Is diminutive bantam
rooster. A few days since tame CROW,
while taking medtative walk, came
in too close proximity TO sly old fox
that was feigning sleep near his den.
where he is confined by light chain-
Reynard was apparently oblivious 70 al
passing things, but that crow has now
learned that appearances are very de-
ceitful, and 50 are foxes. Before the
crow was aware of the danger the fox
had seized il. Then there was a loud
cav, cav" and a tlapping Of wings,
which attracted the attention Of the liz
tie bantam rooster. He took in the Sit
uation at glance, and at once rushed
to the rescue Of his feathcred compan-
ion. The plucky little rooster flew into
the face OF the fox, struck hard with
wing and spur, and so worried the fox
that he dropped the crow and gave his
attention to the rooster, but his feather
ed antagonist proved As agile as be i
brave, and so soon as he saw the poor
crow, minus few feat hers, hop of safe
lv beyond the limits Of Reynard's chain,
he concluded the law Of self-preserys-
ton was the next best thing ia order.so
carried it into effect. The fox then
skulked into his den.-Dayton fO.i
