The lay as to the Vacancy in the
Presidential Office.

It will be of interest at thls time to
recall the constitutional and statutory
provisions in the event vacancy in
the Office of President of the United
States. The constitutional provision
reads as follows:
In case Of the removal of the President from
Office or of his death, resignation inability to dis
charge the powers and duties of the said office, the
same devcves on the vice-President, and the Con-
gross may by law provide for the case of removal,
death, resignation or inability both of President and
vicePresident, declaring what officer shall act oc-
cordngly until the disability be removed or Presi
| dent shall be elected
Under this article Of the Constitu-
ton Congress has by law provided in
the act of 1892;
In case of removal, resignation or inability of
both President and vice-President of tho United
States the President of the Senate, or, II there is
none then the Speaker of the House Of Representa-
tyes for the time being, shall act rs President until
| the disability is removed or President elected.
As the Senate during its recent
session failed to elect President pro
tcmpore, and the House of Representa-
tives, not having yet met, has not
elected a Speaker, there exists no pro-
vision for filing vacancy, should
MIR. Arthur be in any way removed or
disabled, except by the process of
election, which would not. however, be
consummated before the meeting Of
Congress. The provision Oh this sub
iect is as follows:
whenever the offices of President and Vico-Presi-
dent both become vacant the Secretary of State shall
forthwith cause notification thereof to be made to
the Executive of every State and shall also canse the
same to be published in al least of the newspapers
published in each State.
The notification shall specify that
electors of President and Vice Pres.
ident shall be appointed or chosen in
the several States, as follows:
First-If there shall be the space of two months
yet to cnsue between the date of such notification
and the first Wednesday in December then next en-
suing such notification shall specify that the electors
shall be appointedo chosen within thirtyfour days
preceding such first Wednesday in December.
If there shall not be two months be
tween the date of notification and the
first Wednesday in December, then
the electors are to be chosen in the
CORRESPONDING period of the following
year, except when the term for which
the President and Vice-President
were elected would expire in the fol-
lowing March, in which se,of course,
no special election would be held.

field or her heirs. This is given for her
devotion and conduct during the try

We have no objection to this, but did
or has Mrs. Garfield done more than
any faithful wife could or would do
under similar circumstances? Your
wife and our wife would have done the
same thing. We do not say this to
detract from the credit due Mrs. Gar

A Criticism.

Public writings as we'll as public acts
are proper subjects for public criticism.
The July No. of the Southern Presbvte-
ran Revie1O contains on article on "The
General Assembly of 1884," which
think is unjust in its account of the de-
bate on retrenchment and reform, and is
calculated to foster spirit of discomfort
ment with the Assemblys vote on that
subject. With affectionate admiration for
the eminent author of that article and
sincere pain in antagonizing what he
says or wishes, must submit some criti-
cisms, not a refutation, Of the article in
dicated.
/. It's statement of the question pro
posed by Mr.. Martin is either fatally
obscure or it is inaccurate in an impor-
tant particular. On page 544 it mentions
Mr. Martins proposing amendments. ="
whose number is "1imited to two (page
$40, and which are then arranged under
two distinct and numbered heads, viz: |.
As to Education. g. AS to Evangelism
and Home Missions. Reference is made
(p. 54) to "Mr. Martins resoJutioa,s =
and again "Dr. Adger then advocated
the taoo measures proposed by Mr.. Mar
tin" Up. 554) Mr. Martins amendment
must then be the thing meant.
But Mr.. Martins amendment covered
only one of these points, Education.
There was strong reason why Mr..
Martin touched only one instead of two
of the schemes-and why he selected
Education. For, in the language of the
Review article, "The Education collec-
ton is the unpopular collection" Mr..
Martin s amendment made the single issue
of demanding Education to the Pres
byteries; and that single issue was
decided adversely by large vote of the
Assembly after its advocates had enjoyed
the fullest liberty Of discussion for seve-
raj days.
But even this amendment was not the
symmetrical thing represented in the ar

ticle as was shown by DIR. Armstrong.
ii. The Review article is partial in its
treatment of the debate, leaves wrong
impression upon its readers, and is in
furious in its effect.
l.. 1t gives with ordinary fulness and
particularly an outline of three speeches
made In favor Of Retrenchment and Re-
form, but the outline. of not one made
against Retrenchment and Reform; it
gives the reader none of the leading
facts, and mentions but one argument
THAT from experienced advanced by them
against the business aspects of reform.
1t is liable also to similar charge in re-
spect to the discussion on the dsaconote.
2. 1t charges "prexdice" upon the
large majority of the Assembly, as the
ground of their vote rather than any
rational conviction produced by evidence
brought out in discussion.
3. 1t characterizes the majority's ar
gument from experience as this boast"
and represents the majority as mercifully
spared from exposure mainly By the
torbearance Of their respondents" When
however the article, with less "forbear-
ance" supplies the "pungent reloinder,"
1T uses the very facts and declarations
on which the minority were ringing
changes throughout the whole debate. :
4. 1t says 1.-THE formal remission of
DIR. Girardeau's report produced one re-
suit which it would be discourteous to
charge as premeditated," Up. $500 1
am not sure what this lone result" was.
1t could not be any discourtesy to DR..
Girardeau personally. Was it injustice
to the report? Hardly; for DR.. G. was
not member of that Assembly; he may
be of the next. The doctrine of that re-
port. was, the logical basis of the reform
movement and many points were there
fore common to the two matters. Some
of these received, as they were unavoid-
ably mingled" with reform, some rough
scriptural and constitutional blows; but
surely the force" and ability" ascribed
to the minority speakers might have
healed the hurt, if it could be healed
Besides, if DIR. Girardeau's advocacy was
necessary to that report it was fortunate
for it that its consideration was referred
by an Assembly of which he was not a
member to one of which he may possibly
be member. a. @. HOPKINS.
