She general belief is, that he will re.

there remains the possibility, more or
less remote, that he may not ana with
this, the possibility that Vlce-Presi-
dent Arthur will become President,
There are always those who desire
TO be on the safe side Of fact, disro-
gardful of principle, and especially
are such to be found, amongst those
who aspire to the position Of Boss or
Organ in politics; corporals and high
privates in the Bread and Butter
brigade, who must make it pom. to
aatter the commissary and tickle the
sutler, in order insure liberal sup
ply Of provender. Already has this
disposition become apparent on the
1,art Of several journals that were prom
inent in their disparagement Of Vice
President Arthur and bis friend Conk.
Sing, prior to event that made it pos
slble for the former to become master
of the situation, 1t does not heighten
ones admiration for the rufexibIirty
of principle, or for the consistency Of
such, nor can it be reasonably suppos'
ed that Mr.. Arthurs excellent quail
ties are Just being discovered by
members of his own party, as the op.
position made it point during the
canvass last fall to put them to their
best IN the way of defense. There is
something belittIeing in this calcula-
tion of chances, especially when coup
led with the tact, that it becomes nee
esrary to say kind things Of one, for
whom NO friendly feeling was indulg-
ed. or word spoken, until it was re-
uuired to be done across the form of q

Ike President ial Succession


The mournful possibility that the
President may not recover must d.
rect public attention to the fact that
in the event Of General Arthur's &C.
cession to the Presidency, there is a
barrier Of only one life against, prob
ably, a Democratic Executive, and,
for a time, against a Government
without an Executive at all. The
statute regulating the succession to
the Presidency, in case Of the remov-
.el, death, resignation or inability Of
both thePresidept and Vice President,
provides that 1.-The President Of the
Senate, or, if there is none, then the
Speaker "of the House Of Representa-
tives for the time "being, shall act as
President until the disability is re-
moved or President elected" 1t so
happens that at this time there is Meth
or a President of the Senate nor a
Speaker Of the House. For some rea-
son the Senate neglected to perform,
before adjourning, the important duty
of electing President pro ten'.; and
there can be no Speaker ofthe House
of Representatives, Of course, until
chat body meets in regular session, or
is called together, and organizes. If,
therefore, the Vice. President should
become President, and the calamity
of his death by sickness or violence
should betall the country before steps
could be taken to provide for the sue
cession, we would be left without any
Executive save that which the patti
otto cooperation of Congress and the
Cabinet might furnish for a time in
The absence Of any law providing for
such a contingency.
For the designated succession to the
Presidency ends with the Speaker Of
the House. Congress in 1872 thought
it had made provision enough when
in named three officers to take the
place in turn, should the necessity
arise. But as we now see, it is BY no
means impossible that the cham
should be exhausted, and the Gov
eminent find itself for brief period
without a head. Under the law,
whenever the offices of President and
Vice President both become vacant,
it is the duty Of the Secretary Of State
to issue notifications to the Governors
of the States for the selection Of ires-
idential Electors, under conditions
which need not be stated here.
Enough has been said to show that, in
the event Of the Presidents death, a
situation would arise demanding
prompt action N. Y. Tribune.
