Swearing in SenatOrs-Precedents
Cited.


The Boston Advertiser recalls two pre-
cedents, bearing upon the claim that the
Republican Senators-elect might be
sworn in before the organization Of the
Senate is accomplished. Dir. King, Of
Alabama, afterward Vice President with
Fillmore, was President pro tenn of the
Senate at the expiration of his term IN
1641. AT noon on the 4th of March of
that year the term of Vice President r.
NJ. Johnson expired also, and there was
no one but the Secretary to preside when
the Senate met. After the Senate was
called to order by the Secretary, Mr..
Bayard, of Delaware, presented reso-
luton that the oath as a Senator
be administered to Mr.. King by
Senator Clay, and that he, Mr. King, be
elected President pro tempOre. By
unanimous consent this resolution was
agreed to. Again, in December, 1852,
Presid snt Taylor being dead and Mr..
Fillmore having become President more
than two years before. Mr.. King, Presi-
dent pro tenn. of the Senate and acting
Vice President, resigned, his letter of
resignation being presented to the Sen
ate on the goth. Mr. Butler, of South
Carolina, then suggested that the oath of
office be administered to his colleague,
Dir. F. de Saussure, by Senator John
Davis, of Massachusetts,. Mr. Butler
cited the King case as precedent. The
resolution was agreed to, the oath was
administered, and the Senate then went
on to elect Mr.. Atchison as President

The New York World of Friday has the
annexed paragraph in its local columns
United States Senator VIM. Malone,
Captain John S. Wise and James d.
Brady, President of the Republican
State Central Committee, all of Virginia,
arrived at the Gilsey House Thursday in
the forenoon, and almost Immediately
afterwards went out. During the day
they spent an hour in Wall street 1t is
said that their mission is to collect cam
paign subscriptions" Editorially the
World says: "Mahone and the Chairman
of the Virginia Republican Committee
perambulated Wall street in company
Thursday, trying to raise money from
Republican bankers and brokers to
promote the reputation of the Virginia
State debt. OF course, brokers and
bankers who subscribe to aid the Vir-
ginia Readjusters and Republicans must
intend to buy Virginia bonds today
with an eye to selling them after the
Virginia Democrats have thoroughly
beaten the repudisting Malone and his
Republican allies"

The Exposition.

Elsewhere will be found the detailed
programme of the opening exercises OF
the International Cotton Exposition al
Atlanta to morrow. This event will
mark an era in the history of Southern
industry, and it is TO be hoped that the
fruits of the enterprise will measure UP
fairly to public expectation. From the
first broaching of the project it has re-
ceived the steady support of the press
North and South, and the general judg-
ment is that, if it shall be at all as it
promises, il cannot but contribute to the
material welfare or the country, but es-
pecially of the South, and serve largely,
by bringing the sections into friendly
communion, to sllsy the distrust, which
is gradually disappearing.
To the people of the South it appeals
peculiarly for support, and as Georgia
enterprise it should beget among our
own people not only sympathy with its
aims, but pride in its projection and exc
cutiOn. II must be seen at its best, and
some time must elspse ere that stage is
reached before If can be fairly judged.
We invite for it the cordial support OF
our readers, and trust that they will not
content themselves with a mere visit OF
welcome to its opening. but will en-
deavOr to become familiar with its round
Of attractions and receive the benefit OF
the instruction it is calculated to bestow.

Fiftytwo national banks have been
organized during the last six months
with g capital of $685., 600 The
Comptroller Of the Currency thinks the
circulation Of the national banks viii
not be likely to be much reduced by the
gradual payment of the 6 per cent ex-
tended bonds. The national banks hold
$50, OOO. 900 Of the 6 per cent. extended
bonds, and their payment during the
next two and a half years would require
the banks to substitute about S24, 600, 900

Il is said that ex- Senator Conkling can,
If he chooses, prevent the admission Of
Messrs. Lspham and Miller to the Senate
by presenting specific charges Of cOrrup-
ton in their election. The Philadelphia
7THes independently says: 'He and his
associates know where the corruption
was, by whom it was proposed and by
whom it was accepted, and they can
make a case, if they viii, that would
preclude the possibility Of the admission
of the accused Senators. It would be a
violent policy for COnkling to pursue,
but If the evidence is in his possession,
as ia claimed by his friends, it is q public
duty for him to present It to the Senate
and stamp the seal Of national infamy
upon the corrupt barter for seats in the
first legislative tribunal Of the republic.

Mr.. Pendleton has been interviewed
as to what is likely to happen when the
Senate meets. He says that under the
statute It must elect President before
the new members are sworn in. and af-
ter they are sworn in there will be tie,
80 that no affirmative motion, even a mo-
ton to adjourn, can be passed. A stu
alton will then exist which, in bis opin-
ion, will present an opportunity for the
display OF good sense and patriotism OF
which the Senator's on both sides viii
GLADLY avail themselves; aud an ''honOr-
Able and satisfactory arrangement" will
be reached. This, we must add, is the
bopeful and charitable Democratic view.
The darker one is that Judge David
Davis viii sell himself to the Republicans
for the Presidency, and viii then. in pur-
uance of the bargain. aid them in the
nerpetration of such varieties OF wicked
ness as may be most grateful both to
their depraved natures and his own.

At the close of the special session OF
the Senate last spring it was stated that
at the regular session in December the
Democrats, in view Of the very close
division Of parties IN the Senate, would
demand and insist upon more equal
representation in the committees. Posi-
bly, this demand will be made at the com
ing special session. 1t is certainly a
reasonable demand.

within ten months eight ocean.

Within ten months eight ocean going
steamships have broken a shaft the
Batavia, the Frisia, the SteinmanD, the
Persian Monarch, the Severn, the Gaia
lonia, the Tomsah and the Rochester.
Upon the trial trip of the new Cunard
steamer Servia, flaw was discovered in
her shaft and her first voyage was post
poned. We might point with PRIDE
to the fact that none of these shafts were
OF American manufacture, but for the
other fact that we escape such accidents
by not building or owning going
steamships.

A Washington special says: "SOme
Of the Democrats here are seriously con
sidering whether it viii not be best, in
view of the circumstances, to nominate
David Davis for President pro tempore
Of the Senate. 1t must be said, how
ever, that this movement, so far as il
comes from Democrats, comes from two
or three Senator's who were opposed last
spring to Senator Bayard's election"

RumOrs were current in Washington
Friday that Judge Lapham, Senator-elect

of Lapham by Governor Cornell. Al

lated, they obtained very little credence.
