Points Practically Settled.

There has been much soliciiude in
the public mind, ana especially in the
ever sensitive circles of business, in re-
gard to the probable action of eminent
officials 10 the event Of the death of the
President To all who have intelligently
aud dispassiona,ely noted the currents of
events during the present painful sus,
peuse at Washington, the following
points would seem to be practically set
lied.
l. Wee President Arthur will not.
under any circumstances, claim to as
sumo the pow RS ard duties OF the Presi-
dency, however pfotracted and absolute
may be the inability of the Pre,ide.t to
discharge the Executive functions.
2 The Cabinet viii not. under any
circumstances, call upon the Vice Presi-
dent to assume the powers and duties of
the Executive Office. Fortunately there
has been 10 pressing necessity during
the present evident inability of the Pres
ideuf, bat il the ability should continue
aud the most pressing Executive duties
should be presented. the Cabinet will
feel uuauthor zsi 10 summon the Vice
President to assume the powers aud du-
ties Of the Presidency, until the autbori-
y shsll be clearly defined By ac; OF Con-
gress.
B. Vice President Arthur will not be
summoned 10 Washington by the Cabi-
net as long as the President lives. 1t is
known that the Vice President is strong
Is averse TO obedience 10 such n sum
mons. even f,om the Cabinet. because
Of the extreme delicacy of the position
he would necessarily occupy a one wait
lag for the honors of dying President.
4 The Cabinet have not the sigma
ture Of President Garfield to proclsmn-
ton for ah extra session OF Congress, and
uouo will be called, uuder any circum-
stances, IN the name Of the present Exc
cutive The call Of an extra session to
meet possible contingencies resulting
from the death Of toe President would
be a needless aad might prove a most
serious, embarrassment to the uew ad-
ministration. II there shall be an extra
session of Congress growing cut OF the
assassination Of the President, it will be
called by President Arthur.
5. An extra session of Congress is
most improbable in any event. In ease
OF the Accession of Arthur to the Presi-
dency, a call for an extra session of the
Senate would be likely to enable the
body to choose President pro tem. and
thus quiet the public apprehension about
an interreguum 10 the Presidential of
fee, in tie contingency Of the death of
Arthur
6. II an extra session Of the Senate
shall be called. the Democrats will
promptly elect the venerable Senator
Anthony. president pro tenn of the body,
cnd thus at orce allay all popular fears
OF . partisan wraDgle TO deepen the
gloom of the nation.
