The Senatorships,

Colorado has elected N. G.. Hill l,
the president of q large smolting fur
mace, to succeed Chatfcc in the United
States Senate. He is Republican,
but not much Of a politician.
Connecticut has elected Platt, Re-
publican, to succeed Barnum, Demo
crat. Hawley was the most promi-
nent candidate, but the clements COM
bincd against him. p. II. Barnum,
the circus man, received ten votes OH
tho first ballot.
Missouri elects George G.. Vest for
the long term. lie was Confederate
Senator during the war, and is said to
be man of great eloquence. For the
short term, made vacant by the death
of Bogy, and filled temporarily by
Armstrong, and which expires on the
Sd of March, Gen. James Shields was
elected. The meaning Of this political
move is not apparent, unlcss it be
q device to give tho general, who
needs it, some money, and to offset
tho election of an ex-rcbcl for tho long
term. General Shields is the only
man who has ever represented three
States In tho Senate, having formerly
served from Illinois and Minnesota.
1le is old and somewhat infrm.
The Louisiana Legislature is still
balloting unsuccessfully for sue
ccssor to Eustis. Eustis leads the list,
and Kennor is second, with several
dark horses in tho background.

apparently conflicting provisions Of
tho Constitution. Judges Haskell
and McIvcr held that Il ballot means
n piece Of paper, and that riUa voce
vote where a ballot, even if it be q
"joint ballot" is provided for, is in-
admissible. Under this ruling tho old
Judges, except Kcrshaw, were dccapi-
tatcd. At the time TIE NEWS AND
HERALD concurrcd with Justice
Willard. In the past few days we
have seen striking instance of the
careless use Of the word by Legislative
bodies, going to show that whatever
Worcester or Webster may say,
modern Solons arc not strict con-
structionists Of the dictionary. 1t
appears i'll the rules Of the Senatorial
caucus of the Missouri Democrats.
The same Legislators who make the
rules Of the caucus also make the laws,
and would use the word ballot in the
same sense in both instances. The ma
jority Of the committee OH rules report
cd the following, among others:
GAS called, each member shall rise,
and shall declare his vote cicu rocc
for ono Of tho candidates in nomina-
tion for United Statos Senator, and
the votes shall be recorded by The
Secretary, and two tcllcrs shall bo
appointed by tho President and tho
result of the baliot shall be announced
by tho President, &C."
The minority set of rules, while
differing in other respects, made the
same use Of the word "ballot." 1t
provided:
"Thc manner Of voting shall be
riUa cOce, and the response to the call
of the name shall be delivered by the
members standing. No nomination
Shall be in order after the baloting
has begun, and after the tenth ballot
the candidate receiving the lowest
number Of votes shall be dropped, and
SO on, Oh each succeeding ballot, until
nomination is made"
After a heated debate the majority
report was adopted, but the reporter
continues, "amcnded, however, by
providing that no now nominees be
made after the tenth ballot The
caucus then adjourned till tomorrow
evening, when it will proceed to bal
lot for nominees"
We perceive by this, that tho pco'
pic of Missouri, legislators, reporters
Senatorial aspirants and all, have
never heard of the South Carolina
decision. 1t is fortunate, too, for
General Shields and Colonel Vest, the
newly elected Senators, that this
loosepess Of vcrbiagc occurred in the
caucus rules, instead of in the election
itself; else some fino morning they
might have Waked up minus q seat in
the great American Forum, and found
themselves deprived Of their daily
allowance of Congressional soap and
Senatorial tooth picks.
OF course, law is law, and the term
"ballo" has definite Specification
hereafter in South Carolina. Still it
is gratifying to have proof Of the cor
rcctncss Of our former assertion that,
in present usage, the term ballot has
not it's technical and original aignifca-
ton, and that rira rocc vote may be
considered "ballot" until decided
otherwise by the courts.

The Signification Of Ballot"

Last year tho whole Judiciary of
South Carolina hung trcmblingly sus-
pended on tho moaning of tho word
"ballot," and tho Supreme Court
itself gavo divided opinions on this
mootcd point. Justice Willard held
that tho term "joint ballot" may bo
used III q general sense, and he
thought 1t botter to reconcile the two
