of the freight-boat q" llattie.' Dnu.hcrty
was killed 10y shot gun fred by the latter
The remote occasion OF the quarrel Is not
known; but it appears that Dougberty
made the attack, throwing rocks through
the clbin-windOW at Pettigrew, and daring
him out TO fight. II further appears that
Pe,ti~rcw lived on the boat with bis family
and occupied the cabin with his wife. He
lost his temper under BOugherty's persist
cnt abuse aud assault, and seizing shot
gun, killed him ~ he stood, rocks IN hand.

The protracied freeze has crippled this

occasioned by The announcement to-

The Next Senate.

The death of Mr.. CARPENTER has certainly
created commoiion IN Washington. Mr..
GORHAM, who battered himself that be was
10 be elected Secretary Of the Senate on OF
abou, The 4 h of March by The casting vote
of General MALONE, is the greatest sufferer
10y the state of things which has resulted.
First, let US consider Mr.. BLAINE's case.
Ii seems 10 be universally conceded that he
is 10 60 into the Cabinet, and yet nc has not
resigned his seat in the Senate. II he is
nominated for Secretary OF State, as every
body says he will be, he cannot vote upon
the question OF the confirmation OF bis own
appointment. But that does not matter. 1t
will be unanimously confirmed, we doubt
not. He is popular senator. But the mo-
ment bis nomination is confirmed, VIII he
Lot cease TO be senator! AT least, II
seems 80 10 us. Ordinarily man may b(
elected or appointed 10 one Office, and yet
hold on u another one for good while
Heis not compelled to choose either office
az once. But not so in Mr. BLAINE's
case. After the confirmation of his ap'
pointment as Secretary OF State, 1t would
seem that his appearance in the Senate
would be equivalent TO 4 declnaiiOn OF The
office. Our mind is not quite clear on thi,
point, however. We will hear argument
But surely Mr.. BLAINE will not undertake
10 at in the Senate until after the 18th OF
March, which will be the earliest day upon
which bis successor can beelected il be does
not resign before tomorrow. We are almost
/ Inclined 10 doubt even now that Mt. BLAINE
| intends 10 20 into the Cabinet, though al
the papers and their CORES pondents, and al
the faces known to us, indicate that be vii
certainly do so.
The next point Is that, having majority
of the Senate, The Democrats can adjourn
that body al will and Will probably adjourn
IT before a new senator reaches Washington
either from Maine or Wisconsin. The Dem
ocrats will hardly extend the session for The
purpose Of having their friends turned GU
OF Office and their places filed by Republi
cans.
But xr. G0RHAn suggests that The Presi
dent need not call the Senate before the l2ll
OF March. That Is rich. Seyenty.odd sen
ators are TO await the results OF the senate
rial election 10 Wisconsin That would bs
very 1ne. We don't believe that Mr.. HAYES
