The Proper View.

rfoH tie N Tribune.
In the newspaper discussion Of the inability
question it is not claimed I'm any quarter that
tho Constitution intends that the Vice President
should himself decide when IL is his right and
duty to assume the ,owers Of the executive
Office. Whether the President can declare bis
own inability and summon the Vice President to
perform his work, or whether the Cabinet is the
proper authority to determine that the President
is likely to be so long incapacitated as to bring
the inability clause into operation, or whether
Congress is the only Judge i'm the premises. are
questions about which there are different opin-
ions. But no sensible person pretends that q
Vice President can lay hands on the presidential
Office at his own option during the illness OF its
incumbent. Such theory ii carried out might
result in deAorable conflict of authority 1t
is better to have no President for a few weeks
than to establish precedent that might at some
future time produce two.

ROAD special to the Baltimore American

ferred paying the men for five or six weeks. ana
two hundred OF them yesterday determined to
strike, and with banners flying and armed with
clubs, pistols, etc, they marched up the entire
section, compelling all they met 10 join them
They then seized the engine aud declared il
should not proceed on its usual trips. All work
mas been suspended from Newport News to
Miliiamsburgh, and great excitement prevails.
The c0mmissary has been closed and the scrip
issued by the company debarred from circula-
ton. 1t is stated the governor has been tele-
graphed, and that the Peninsula and Libby
Guards are to be sent down to quell the disturb
ance II it continues to-day. 1t was reported last
night that q raid was to be made upon the COM
missary, but up to this hour nothing of the kind

the term during which person is exempt.
