Eicc-Prcsidcnt Davis,

The Chaplain OF the Senate insists upon incud-
ing the Vice. President in his petitions to the
Throne of Grace. The supposiuon Is that he means
Senator David Davis, but neither the Senator
from Illinois nor any other person Is the Vice
President the United States there is really no
necessity for asking n blessing upon barren
idcality non-existent in law or fact Washington
Post
Yes, Mr.. Post, Senator Davis, of Illinois,
Is actually our Yice-President. That is
precisely what he is Thus:
VICE IL. picc, in the place of, A prefix dcnot-
ing, In the words compounded with it, one who
acts In place of another or one who is second IN
rank As WcE.PREsIDEST, vice chancellor, &c
WOrcssters Dictionary.
VIcg.PRIsIDEsT-An officer next In rank below
the presidcnt.-Ibid.
Ia case Of removal, death, resignation or in.
ability of both the President and Vice President of
the United States the President of the Senate or IL
there is none, then the Speaker Of the House OF
Representatives, for the time being shall act as
President until the disability is removed or Pres.
dent elccted.-Rerised Statutes, sec. li6.
The Senate shall choose their other officers and
also President pro tNporc, in the absence of the
Vice President, or when he shall exercise the
Office Of President OF the United Sates-Scc g. AH
L., Constitution Of he Uaited States.
Judge Davis is President pro tempOre of
the Senate, If the presidential Office
should become vacant he would under
the law /" act as President" lie is there
fore AN officer next in rank below the
President" which is the precise defini-
ton of the term vice-president, as above
quoted.
The learned editor of the Post is con-
fused by the fact that Judge Davis is only
ViccP President by virtue of his Office
of President pro tnpOre of the Senate,
instead of holding that Office by virtue of
an election by the people. Our Consti-
tuition and laws provide for choosing a
Vice President by several methods, but
only calls him that when chosen by the
people. President prO tempOre Of the SEN
ate Davis is just as much our Nice-Presi-
dent as President Arthur is our Chief
Magistrate, 1t is not in either case the
title given by the Constitution, but it is
unquestionably correct, 1t is from the
whole vocabulary of the language that
we are at liberty to select when we speak
and write, even upon constitutional sub
jects.

SENATOR VOORHEES, is out in letter on
the tariff which has good sense for its
foundation. He prefers going along with
the living present rather than tarrying
in the graveyard of dead theories, All
of which is respectfully referred to Harry
Watterson, who caused the Democratic
party to say in its platform last year that
the tariff must be for revenue only"
Query: Did Watterson mean by this to
actually deprecnte and apologize for the
protective element in revenue tariff?
If not why the word "only?'
