THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

There is foreshudowing in history which
promises TO make Senator DAVID DAVIS, of
Illinois, of more importance in the scale of
political power than he holds on the scale
that registers the avoirdupois of physical
proportion. He was placed upon the bench
of the Supreme Court Of the United States
by President LINCOLN for the reason that
he was warm personal friend, an able law
yer, and sound Republican, in the judg-
ment of the appointing power. Though an
astute and sound iurist, and strongly in
trenched in the personal regard Of the Ex-
ccutiye, without an undoubted profession of
the Republican faith, he never would have
been elevated by President LINCOLN to
seat on the bench of the court Of last resort,
Those who knew the President best under
stand that abstract fact the most clearly.
Justice DAVIS was a Republican up
to the hour when the siren song
of the SenatOrship was chanted
in his ear by the trading
and talficliing politicians of the State Of
Illinois lie became enamored of their
music and consented to step from the judi
cial into the legislative branch Of the Gov
ernment. In that change the Senator lost
his political cQuipoise and has since been
balancing himself rs he best could in an
awkward attitude of party independence,
much to the surprise and regret OF the
country
But our present purpose is more to show
the possible future consequence Of Senator
DAVIS than the importance of his present
political position, The Senate, as at present
constituted politically, stands forty-two
Democrats, thirty-two Republicans, and one
Independent DAVIS, Of Illinois,, and there
will be one vacancy in the New Hampshire
delegaton) This vacancy will be filled by
the election Of Republican, when (until
1ssl) the Democrats will have eight
majority over all, On the 4th of
March, 1881, twenty-iour Senators will
retire. OF these fourteen are Demo-
Gratis, namely: EATON Of Connecticut
JONES of Florida, COCKRELL Of Missouri,
RANDOLPH Of New Jersey, BAILEY Of Ten
nessee, HEREFORD Of West Virginia, BAY
ARD of Delaware, MCDONALD of Indiana
WHYTE of Maryland, HERMAN of New
York ,THUBMAN of Ohio, WALLACE Of Penn
sylYania, MAxEY of Texas, aud WITHERs o.
Virginia; and ten are Republicans namely
! BooTn of California, HAnILIN of Maine

DAWES of Massachusetts, MCMILLAN of
Minnesota, BURNSIDE of Rhode Island, Ed
MUNDs of Vermont, CHANDLER of Michigan,
BRUCE of Mississippi, PADDOCK of Ne
braska, and CAMERON of Wisconsin.
When the Senatorial elections of 1881 shall
occur it is not now probable that the Re-
publicans will make gain of more than
five, and those in the following States Con-
necticut New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania. This will give the
Republicans three majority, without count
ing Senator DAVIS, and twomaiority count
ing him with the Democrats. However,
should the Republicans lose one of the
States named, then Senator DAVIS will be-
come an important and known quantity in
any quarter where he may determine to
locate his political weight and measure. He
may yet hold the power to make or break
the political fortune of either party as he
may elect to ally himself. With the Senate
from 1881 to 1888 standing Democrat
thirty-eight and the Republicans thirty
seven as is predicted, then Senator DAVID
| DAVIS will become factor of more than
ordinary Importance, as his vote after 1880
ON the Republican side, with n Republican
President, would make II tie, giving n Re-
publican Vice-President the casting vote,
and thus assuring the Senate to the Repub-
lcan interest. 1t is to be hoped that he
may not be clothed with such power
and responsibility, as he will not be
should the Republicans secure q Senator
from each of the five States named above,
and which appears now highly probable.
In 1883 twenty Senators will re-
tire, namely, fourteen Democrats, as fol-
lows; MORGAN of Alabama, BECK of Ken
lucky, MCPHERSON of New Jersey, RANSOM
of North Carolina, GROVER of Oregon, HAIR
RIs of Tennessee, DAVIS of West Virginia,
GARLAND of Arkansas, SALISBURY of Del
aware, HILL of Georgia, LAMAR Of Missis-
sippi, BUTLER of South Carolina, COKE OF
Texas, and JOHNSTON OF Virginia twelve
Republicans, rs follows: KIRKwooD of Iowa.
BLAINE of Maine, HoAR of Massachusetts,
WINDOW of Minnesota, SHARON of Nevada,
ANTHONY of Rhode Island, TELLER of Col
orado, PLUME of Kansas, KELLOGG Of Louis
lana, FERRY of Michigan, SAUNDERS of Ne
braska, and ROLLINS of New Hampshire
and one Iudependent-DAvIs Of Illinois
OF these the Republicans are certain of Sc
curing three, in the places of MCPHERSON,
GROVER, and DAVIS Of Illinois, with the
chances of losing one in the place of KEEL
LoGG. This will place the Senate in 1885,
in Republican hands again beyond perad-
venture.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Tn.DEN IS n source of great perplexty to the
Southern Democrats. They are repeatedly told
that he carries them under his arm and intends tC
use them TO force his denomination. They want 70
resent this charge but dare not do 1t for fear 1t Il
true. Two things incline them to cling to Tilden-
the hope of drbets from the barrel and the belle
that he is the only man that can carry New York
Both are fallacious.
EX-GOVERNOR DESSIsoN Is another Ohio gentle
man who has great faith in Secretary Sherman as 4
good man for the Presidency but he is inclined tC
think that Grant will be the candidate. If the
convention were to be held now he Is sure Grant
would be nominated. On the Democratic side he
expects to see Tildcn and Hendricks run again
Thurman can give no assurance of ability to carry
New York, and without that he can have no hop'
of nomination.

THE EXERCISE OF THE VETO POWER

THE EXERCISE OF THE VETO POWER.
What sophistry and Misrepresentation can
do is being done by the Democratic party
to convince the country that the President
has no legitimate veto power that can be
thrust between them and their mischievous
purposes. 1t contends that it can pass laws
removing all barriers between the elective
franchise and fraud and corruption, and the
President has no power to veto such meas
urcs. The absurdity of such proposition
is shown by reference TO the Constitution
itself 1t says:
Every bill which shall have passed the
House of Representatives and the Senate
shall, before it becomes law. be presented to
the President of the United States. If he ap-
proves he shall sign it, but If not, he shall
return it with his objections to that House in
which il shall have originated, who shall enter
the objections at large on their journal and
proceed to reconsider 1t. If, after such re-
consideration, two.thirds of that House shall
agree to pass the bill, it shall be seut, together
with the objections, to the other House, by
which it shall likewise be reconsderod, and
If approved by two-thrds Of that House, it
shall become q law.
This language is clear and explicit in re-
vealing the abstract fact that the acts OF
Congress can no more become laws without
Executive approval than that the President
can approve and make laws which Congress
has not enacted. The Constitution makes
both the legislative and executive branches
of the Government responsible for the char
acter of the laws which pass upon the stat
ute book for the government of the people
Indeed, the Constitution seems to lean more
strongly toward the executive than the legis-
lative branch of the Government in bestow-
ing power, for while it explicitly sets bound
aries TO the legislative branch, it places nC
limit rs to the character of the objections
which the President may interpose to pre-.
vent an enactment. from becoming law
This simple fact disarms all the assumptions
and sophistry now urged against the eXer.
else OF the veto power under Executive
judgment and sense of duty.
It is evident that the policy of the pres
ent Congress is to coerce, intimidatc, ol
wheedle the President, if possible into {
tame submission to the wrongs that the
majority may attempt. We are confident
that this game will not succeed. The Pres
ident has already suffered all that he pro-
poses to suffer at the bar of public opinion
for yielding TO expediency under n trust in
Democratic good faith. His condolences
have been betrayed, his motives have beer
misudged, and his concessions have beer
abused to an extent which finds no futur,
trust in Democratic professions Or demands
If Congress has the power to override hi
Judgment, then his responsibility is at n
end, but if he voluntarily approves palpa

DEMOCRATIC pECApENCE

In 1874 the Congressional election result
ed in giving the Democratic party ma
iority of seventy.lour in the House of Rep
resentatives, and it is only necessary to COM
pare the Forty-iourth with the Forty-siXth
Congress to show how rapidly the Demo-
cratic party is declining in power in the ma
tional councils The Forty-Glth Congress
shows Democratic majority of twenty in
the House of Representatives, which was q
falling off of firty-four. In the present
House their majority is reduced to bare
quorum for the transaction of business.
This decadence has been almost entirely in
the North, for there is nota single Republi-
can member from the following States Ala
bama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South
Carolina, and West Virgina-eleveu in all.
OF course there can be no Republican losses
in these States in the future, while there is
possible chance Of gaining in Maryland

To the Editor of The National Republican;
SIR In Mondays issue Of THE REPUBLICAN
was an article under the above caption, in
which the writer says, speaking Of the national
and State Jurisdictions, "The limit and bound
ary of each are established by written con.
stitution." Now this proposition, though true
in one sense, is calculated to mislead. The in
ference naturally to be drawn from the state
ment is that the two jurisdictions stand upon
the same footing In respect to power, the differ
cnce being only that one is regulated by the
Federal and the other by State constitutional
But beyond this there is a. hrsn1
The Federal Consti.luli
and Congress exercise 5gkySNc!
pressly granteK II necessarily implied.'r But
the States, beside the poworsygranted and i'm
piled in the constitutions, respectively, have
n residuum of power, which they can exercise
except so far rs forbidden by the constitution
In other words, while the Federal Constitu
tion is grant of power the State constitution
is mere limitation of power This distinc
tion has been maintained by all our leading
statesmen North and South, and has been
sanctioned repeatedly by the courts, both State
and Federal, and Republicans cannot afford
| any more than Democrats TO ignore IL.
For the justification and vindication OF the
national election laws we must look into the
| Federal Constitution and its amendmcnts-and
we will not look in vain. At the same time
VIC must be careful not to assume for the Ma

THE prevalent belief, outside OF Congress
sional investigating committees, that the
private character of messages transmitted
between citizens over our telegraph wires
cannot be violated without an iniractiOn of
the sacred rights OF personal privilege is
sustained by the opinion of Justice COOLEY,
of the Michigan Supreme Court. In the
American Lr,e Register for February Judge
C. has an article on this subject replete
with arguments rs well as citations from
such decisions as touch the question, that
telegraphic dispatches should be inviolahle,
and that telegraph companies should not be
compelled to disclose or produce them under
process from any court or from any legisla-
tive or Congressional committee. Justice
COOLEY concludes that the docrine that
telegraph authorities may be required to
produce private messages on the application
of third persons is Objectionable because
it defeats the policy Of the law which invites
free communication it violates the conf
dence which the law undertakes to render
secure it seeks TO reach species Of evil
dence which parties are interested to render
blind and misleading; and it renders one oI
the most important of modern convenience
susceptible of being used as an instrument
| of infinite mischief in the community.
