The Double ShunIe in the Senate.

The Double Shufile In the Senate.
The Republicans in the United
States Senate have lost no time m show
ing that they believe that the majority
should elect the President of that body
when it has an opportunity, and Mr..
David Davis has shown himself not
averse taking ticket in "the lottery
of assassination" Probably the Sen
ate has absolute authority to elect a
new President every day if it so pleased.
If its right in this case is scarcely open
to dispute, its action when judged as
to political relations and as to the point
of good taste is not so clear. Politi-
cally it was not worth while to reopen
this question of the choice of a pre-
siding officer merely for the sake Of
reopening it. Had there been a def.
mite party advantage to be gained that
might have justified the proceeding
but a distinct and fairminded party
man, though an opponent, must be
preferable to one who is only sort Of
political jelly fish, ready to take any
form or hue as his own interests may
serve. AS to the point of taste, il
seems pity that so many distinguish
ed Republicans, supposed to be sincere
men, should have been so ready to de
monstrate that they did not really be
lieve their own arguments against thu
rule of the majorlty.-M Y. Herald.

The Republicans are already talking
about a short session ofthe Legislature.
The shorter the better, in fact the peo-
pie would be rejOiced if they would
not meet at all. But should they meet
and occupy day or month they will
gobble in their 5000 a piece all the
same.

The old adage that circumstances
alter cases. is clearly verified by the
tone of that portion of the press who
a few weeks ago were deriding Roscoe
Conkling and making predictions be-
cause he and President Arthur were
fast friends. Now they say Conkling
and Arthur are friends and that they
should be, and that it is not probable
Conkling will attempt to influence the
administration. From the amount Of
craw.fshing some Of them are doing,
we should not be surprised if before
another two months is past, they would
recommend and urge the President to
give him some prominent position.

The discussion of "The Christian
Religion" by Col. Ingersoll and Judge
Black, which was commenced in the
August number of the North american
RevieU, is continued in the November
issue of that publication. Col. Inger-
soil now replies to the structures of his
opponent, and presents much more
fully than he has ever before done tbe
logical grounds for his opposition to
Christianity. The article will be re-
ceived with interest by those who have
read the first part of the debate, as well
as by all those who believe that the
cause of truth is best advanced by free
discussion. An early number of the
Revtew will contain an exhaustive re-
ply. In a Symposium on Presidential
Inability, four of our most eminent
jurists, Judge Thomas M. Cooley, the
Hon. Lyman Trumbull, Prof. Theodore

Another Terrible Explosion.
To the Editor Of The Republican,:

10 tHt EutOI " IHS ICpuOttCuH'
In your issue of yesterday you give a
very amusing incident which happened to raw
recruit from the Pine Tree State while experiment
ing with confederate shell near Harrison's Land
ing Virginia, in July, 1862 During the trans Rap
idan campaign, in the spring of 1864, while the
Army of the Potomac was lying in front of Spott-
sylvania Court House the following incident trans
pired within twenty rods of General Meade'S tent,
and, considering that an artilleryman was the
principal actor, the ignorance of the Yankee from
Maine is not SO surprising. HOtchkisS projectile
was thrown into our lines by the confederates and,
without exploding, il made what's termed richO-
chet into the air, and fell the general head
quarters of the army, where q number of team
in cooking their dinners around fire in an open
field. 4 lank and gavky-lOOking young fellow, be-
longing think to Indiana light artillery battery
picked the projectile up from where it had fallen,
and brought it near the fire, where it was in
spected by several, myself among the number
After while one Indianian thought he would in
dulge in little pyrotechnical display Being as
were all artillerymen, provided with a small
wrench, he proceeded to remove the screw from
the percussion end of the shell. This having been
successfully accomplished he deliberately dropped
q coal of fire into the SHE'LL thinking there would
only be FASH the powder within not being con-
fined. He was mistaken, however, for with the
flash came a terrific explosion, and several per-
sons were mangled by the flying fragments, while
the man himself was rendered insensible by the
conclusion and thrown to considerable distance ;
yet strange to say he did not receive scratch. L
mentioned this incident in letter to the New
York Herald, of which sheet l was correspondent
at the time, among the casualties and incidents
of the battle of SpOttsyvania Court House. I. L..

The Rev. S. II: Davis, of Morrice, writes
us a graphic account of little incident which oc-
CURED while he was preaching in Addison, Oak
land County, nearly twenty-five years ago In the
adjoining town of Oxford there was a settlement
known as Iakeville, given up to rowdyism, drunk
eness, and Democracy. Mr. Chandler went there
in the great Fremont campaign, and, as usual,
succeeded by his telling facts in stirring up the
Democrats to such rancor that some twenty of
them drew away from the audience rod or more.
As Mr. Chandler finished his speech, they all
cursed and swore that they would whip him if
they could get a chance Hearing their threats
he clapped his hands on the shoulders of one of
the members of Mr.. Davis church, near by the
wagon in which he had stood up to speak. "Let
me get out there" said Mr.. Chandler; but his
friend demonstrated, knowing the ugly temper of
those pro-slavcry Democrats They'll hurt you"
he replied. But Chandler said, Stand aside and
let me GO" As room was made for him, Mr..
Chandler stepped down, and walking straight to
the huddle of rough men. he shook hands with
each one until he had spoken TO them all, and not
one of them struck him. or even attempted any
argument or orremonstrance.-LGasiRJ( (ifich.l Rspub
