Ths Constitution Of New Hampshire has
recently been changed, and the session Of
tho Lcgialaturo Inst elected will not bo held
uutil June. In tho meantime, tho term Of
alr. WADLE1ou, representing the State III the
United States Senate, expired III March.
Tho Governor Of the State Inns appointed q
gentleman to fill the vacancy" and when
tho porson appointed presented his crcden-
tials his admission was objected to. Tlis is
not now question. We believe tho dccis-
ions havo always boan adverso to the
power Of the Governor to make such MP
rointmonts, on the ground that under
such circumstances no "vacaucy occurs or
exists. MoCnAhr, In his work OIL tho
"Amorican Law of Elections," las this to
say on tho subject: at is very clcar that
no appointment can 10 made to fill vacancy
until tho Office Inns onco been full. And,
accordingly, 1t los becn hold by tic Senate
Of the United States that the words All
vacancies that may happen during tho recoss
Of the Senate mean such vacancies ns occur
from death, resignation, or promotion"
THIS docs not apply strictly to vacancies in
membership in tho Sennto. The Consti-
tuition provides "And If vacancies happen,
by resignation or otlerwiso, during tho
roceas Of tho Legislature Of auy State, tho
Executive thereof may make temporary mp
pointmants until tho next meeting Of tho
Legislature, which shall then fill such vacnn-
cies." In tho case Of P1ELps, who was np-
pointed by the Governor Of Vermont 10 fill
vacancy, tho Legislature met aud adjourned
without oleoting senator, aud the Senate,
after q thorough investigation, decided that
PnEIps' appointment exrirod with the nd
journment Of the Legislature, leaving the
State without one Of its Senatorial repre-
sentativos. SlcCRAnx in His book does not
mention my case IN which it WIS expressly

THE NEGRO EXODUS.

It 1nay havs boon, ana probably WINS, worry
uukinil aud unjust for railroad companies in
the West to send agents among tho Southern
blacks to encourage emigration to Kansas
md tho Western Territories by exaggerated
accounts OF the abundance nntafeaao awniting

But this movement has served, at lcast, to
demonstrate two things which have boon

pared aud eager to leave the South In largo

in tleir political as well as their material
bearings.
Thcro would bo no reason for widespread
discomfort md eager migration among tho
Southern blaclss It they lind been we'll

OF their old homes would hayo bound them

tations, With baro possibility that they

plato answer to tho plea Of tic Southern
whites that they aro treating stho negroes
fairly. 1t is The strongest possible confrma-
tton Of tho charges brought against tho
t,atiyo whites to tho otfoct that they
havo oppressed tho negroes politically
ana imposed upon them in their
business relations, The negro, aa trco
citizen, ia entitled 10 full protection under

THE MILITIA BILL.

4ub OppO8ll1Uu 10 ll1 AlIltlA Dill IN tie
House nt Springfield, developed in the de-
bato on Tuesday last, was as extraordinary NJ
itwas Infamous, md the chnractorof tic debate
goes to show that tho opponents Of the bill
were not actuatod by amy motives Of econ-
omY, or BY the belief that militin is un-
necessary, but simply by tic onatura! tendency
of oil domaRogues to pandor to tho riotous
rabblo Of tho cities.
The provisions Of tho National Constitution
defining the powers Of Congress authorize 1t
TO cali out tho militia for tho execution of tho
laws, the suppression of Instructions, tho
ropolling of inyasions, aud to provide for It's
organization, arms, and discipline, rescrving
to tho statcs the appointment Of tho officers
aud tho authority of training 1t; aud this
authorization not only onjoins md encour-
ages the support of the militia, but IL almost
obligatory in chasactor. Tho pending bill
was therefore in sympathy with tho oonsti-
tutiona provision, both in letter and spirit.
In it's local application there waa no reason
for objection. 1t proposed to mako motler-
nte. indeed very small, annual appropriation
for the support Of n Stntc Guard Of voluu.
tcor militia for the preservation of order, aud
the projection Of life, property, business,
and comnlorco. It is auxiliary and supple
nlentary to tho forces Of the police, consta.
b!es, md slorfIa, liablo only to bo called
upon when tho latter are unable to prssorve
tho peace. This la all there IL to tho BILL II
II Is wrong to maintain tho State militia, tlou
it Is equally wrong to mautain police forco.
If the lRwleRs classea have Tho right to lie.
mnnd through these political tlemagogues In
tic Legislature that they ahall not bo resist.
cd by tho militia wheusver thoy undertake
TO destroy business and burn property, then
taey hive mn eqnal right to dotAnnl that they
Bhall not be coorced by policemen or resisted
by constablos, aua tint they shall have full
License to carry ont their violent aud de-
atructivo purposes.
No objection cau lio to th!s bill upon tho
acoro OF money. A well-organized militia Ia
tho cheapest aud most effective public de-
fensa possible to doyiso mid maintain, aud
the appropriation necessary for its support
will never be folt By tho reoplo Of tho State,
and, avon II It were, would not croato any
