The Position Of the President Of the
GQuofa
Baltimore Stt

Senator David Davis will perhaps be sur
prlsed to find that the acquisition by him
of the honor of the Presidency OF the
Senate under circumstances which render
ed his own cooperation necessary thereto
is hardly considered by the press and
country q laudable act, and 1t will scarcely
be agreeable to him to find comparisons
drawn between another Senator and him
self, who, elected by Democrats, times his
cooperation with the opposite party with
occasions of profit. Unfortun ately for the
new incumbent his advancement could
only be accomplished by displacing a gentle
man for whose purity and statesmanlike
abilities the entire country feels the
highest admiration, and side by side with
whom his position could scarcely be other
than one Of contrast. 1t is not that Mr..
Davis is not Republican, and not wholly a
Democrat, nor that he clamis to be indie
pendent, but his motive In accepting Office
from either party would, under the circum-
stances existing at the time, appear to be so
open to question that 1t was, to say the
least, indiscreet to acquiesce IN his election
to the Presidency. II the future be con
sidered and the probability that at the
first opportunity the Republicans will
oust him from the place and put iD one
Of their own number, the indiscretion will
become painfully apparent. 1t will be his
distinction to preside over a body either
faction of which Is hostile to or suspicious
of him, and ready to depose him at any
moment. ALI these considerations, how
ever, have little practical Importance of a
political character. The thing most to be
regretted is the establishment of the theory
that the term of the President of the Senate
Is subject to curtailment at the caprice Of a
temporary majority. The plottiDgs of de-
signing men engaged In the game of Presi-
dent making can hardly fail to be furthered
some day by the precedent Of Wednesday
last.

EARLY AND MALONE.
The Latter's Reply TO the Formers
Insults.

RICHMOND, October 1.-THE following is
published in the Wing:
"WAsHNGToN, D. c., October IA, 1881.
"To the Public: The speech of General
Jubal A Early in Richmond on October
11th, 1881, has been read by me. So far as
it refers to myself the rank of General Early
in the Confederate army entitled the speech
to that much. 1t brings me to decide
whether 1 shall demand satisfaction from
General Early for what was intended by
him as an insult. After years of unpro-
voked malice and indirection he presents
the issue surely and grossly. 1t admits of
no discussion, and would neither be met
nor evaded by recrimination. l so accept
1t. My decision, arrived at advisedlv and
maturelv, is that the rank of General Early
which is his sole claim to recognition
does not outweigh other considerations
which forbid such recognition. The public
of Virginia need no specifications of the
facts concerning General Early, on which 1
rely for this action. l only desire to make
it known that am not ignorant or neglect.
full Of his speech. He could give me
no satisfaction and can
have none, even in describing him as he is
known to all men. He may, therefore, pro-
ceed with his falsehoods and would-be in
suits, assured of impunity so far as l am
concerned. WILLIAM MALONE"
General Early made speech here few
evenings since grossly abusing Senator Ma
hone. 1t was said, on the appearance OF
the publication accredited to Early,
that General Malone wrote q
challenge to General Early, ac-
companied by letter to friends here, say
ing that he would adopt either alternative
suggested by them. Their advice was to
take no notice of Early's TRADE. The above
letter is, probably, the outcome of the mat

THE LAST OF EARTH.
Imposing Obsequtes of Governor
Wiltz.

New ORLEANS, October 1.-THE remains
Of Gov. Wiltz were removed to the Senate
Chamber, where they lay in state until
o'clock p. M, when the funeral procession
formed, and proceeding through the princi-
pal streets escorted the remains to st.
Louis cemetery, where they were deposited
in the family vault. The procession was
large one, including the military
and firemau's associations, the Armies of
Northern Virginia and Tennessee benevo-
lent associations, Knights of Pythias the
clergy, foreign, Federal, State and city Off
cials, and a large number of citizens In car
riages. Ex-Governor Nichols marched in
the procession with the veterans of the
Army of Northern Virginia. Lieutenant
Governor McEnery to-day took the oath of
office as Governor, as prescribed by the
constitution. The oath was administered
by Judge Lazarus, in the Governors parlor,
in the presence of the State officials.

Progress of the Texas Pacific.

The latest information from the west end
of the Texas Pacific Railway is conveyed in
the following special telegram to the Little
Rock (Ark.) Gazette:
END OF THE TEXAS PACIFIC RAILWAY
TRACK, October 10.-The road is now com
plete and in operation at this point. which
is AS miles east of El Paso and 4o2 miles
west of Dallas, in the Lympha Mountains,
4, 200 feet above the sea level and 4, 200 feet
higher than Dallas. About twenty miles of
track laying Is the average every week, at
which rate Ell Paso will be reached before
January l, 1882. The grading is all COM
pleted except few miles In Carises Pass,
which will be finished In three weeks. The
bridges, one hundred and sixty In number,
between San Rachel and Eagle Pass, are being
put in as fast as the track approaches. Over
one hundred trackmen are employed on sta
tion houses and depots. Water tanks are
put in every twenty miles, and where springs
like the Petriter, San Rachel, Antelope and
Eagle Springs are not found, wells are dug
by steam machinery and abundance of water
obtained. The track laying force is kept up
to three hundred and fifty teams. Seven
teen cars of iron and forty cars of ties per
day are used. The telegraph wire is kept
up with the end of the track. The weather
is cold and light frost fell. A meat con-
tractor, with a herd Of over one hundred fat
beeves, keeps right up to the front all the
time. The Lympha Mountains, spur of
the Sandolega, are south of the track, and
extend to the Rio Grande at the mouth of
the Pecos river, and are covered with
rich gramma grass. The hill tops are
shadowed by buckeye, with cherry, oak,
cedar, pine, cotton wood and walnut trees.
