ANOTHER DrMooRAr1C OPINION
Wrong and 1nesped,ont to unseat Kellogs

Wrong and Inexpedicnt to Unseat Kellogg.
From the Charleston ts. C.) News and Courier.I ]
Nothing has been said to change our opinion
that 1t is-both wrong and inexpeden TO eject Sem
ator Kellogg from the Senate.
The general incts OF the contest were fully known
when the Senate determined to ndmit him, and
the resolution under which he was admitted de-
clarod him to be entitled to the scat oil the merits
of the case.
II Is true that he would not have bccn admitted
ut all had tho Den ocrats had a majority In the
Senate when he presented himself for admission.
Nor could Senator Butler have been admitted
when nc WINS had not all agreement been made to
stop the debate and takc vote IN his case and thnt
OF Kellogg.
The Senate Is the Judge Of the election aud quail.
ihcptions Of its members, and the majority, when
vote is taken is the Senate. BY the Senate Kellogg
was adjudgod to be entitled TO be seated as Senator
from Louisiana, and tho only lawful way Of get.
requisite two-thirds vote No defect in the man
ncr OF choosing electors for President can Affect
the President, when his election has been declared
and he has been installed. lmpcachment Is the
only remedy. No new fnct unearthed since kel-
logg was sworn can undo tho action of the Senate
In formally admitting him.
Law or no law, the senate can, by q majority
vote, turn out MIR. Kellogg There Is nothing TO
prevent 1t. But, in that event each Senator will
hold his seat at the pleasure OF the majority. and
there will be race to SEQ which party can ou.-run
and outcheat the other Tho Republicans would
win. Whoever succeeded Kellogg would be nm
oNhNcN ho opOli uo VIZ iNcpupiitNhn
jorlty, and ten or twelve Southern Democrats
would go the same way. There would not then be
much room for choice between tho United States
and Mexico
Thurman, Bayard, Lamar Hampton, Butler and
Gordon are understood to be opposed TO reopen
ing the question of Kcllogg's right to his seat II
s good company to bo In, and we expect 10 stay
there.
A postpOnement of the vote has boen proposed.
We should regret 10 see IL put OFF until next ses-
sion The elections will then have taken place;
and there arc limits to tho yirtuous resolutions OF
even Democratic politicians. If the political COM
pcxon of the Senate depended upon ousting
Kellogg he would probably go. For this reason 1t
Is best for the Democrats to decide the matter
now, and save themselves from future tempta.
