The Called Session of the Senate

The Called Session of the Senate.
On Monday the Senate will meet in
extra session. Caucuses of the respect
i've parties will be held today and the
policy Of each will be determined. From
the best information obtainable it is like
" that the Democrats will insist upon
electing a Chairman pro temp0re before
the New York Senators and General
Burnside's successor are sworn in. 1t is
hard to see how they can do otherwise.
The plain requirements of the law are
that the oath shall be administered to
the new Senators by the presiding Off
Ger. A few hOt-headed Radical organs
have insisted that the law at the present
iuncture is imperative, but sensible
Journals, like the New York Times, face
the music and admit that the Democrats
have the "call.
True, precedents can be cited where
the law was departed from, but it was
by unanimous consent in every instance,
and the fact that such departures were
allowed is no argument for a similar dis
regard of the requirement now. The
importance of the Craftsmanship of the
Senate at this time renders it worth the
while of the Democrats to fill it, and it
would be simply stupid in them to not
do so. The sentimental twaddle about
duty to country and concessions to pub
lie opinion is sheer nonsense.
The Democratic party is not on trial.
1t numbers a good half of the voters
and a majority of the intelligent people
of the country, and its representatives in
the Senate owe it TO their constituents
to secure all the advantages at their
command, advantages which the dissen-
sious Of the Republicans threw in their
way. The Republicans, of course, can
fllbuster if they choose, but should they
do so they will assume a grave response
bility. aud embarrass the President at the
outset of his administration. 1t is likely,
therefore, that matters will proceed quiet
". and that the Democrats will organize
the Senate, dealing justly but not senti-
mentally with their opponents. There
is little for the Senate to do. The ses-
sion will be brief, and much that viii
beget controversy viii 90 over TO the
regular session in December.
AS to the nominations to be sent in by
the President. there is an abundance Of
rumors, but little OF q positively credi
bic character. 1t appears likely that
Messrs. Blaine, McVeagh, Window,
James and KirkwOod will retire from
the Cabinet. Messrs. Hunt and Lin
coin. it said, can remain, if they so
desire. The selection Of his Cabinet is
a delicate task for the President, and it is
to be hoped that it will be such a one as
will command, if not the confidence, at
least the respect Of the public. Specu-
lation as to its personnel is idle. and we
must await the Presidents pleasure for
its announcement

Express AMI all other Republican organs
are very anxious for the Democrats to
give up their right TO elect a Democrat
to the position and let the Republicans
have their own way. 1t is to be hoped
that threats and coaxing will never lead
the Democrats TO surrender their rights
in this matter.

At their caucus, to be held 10 day, the
Republican Senators will determine
whether they viii make fight over the
nropOsal that the Senators elect from
New York and Rhode Island should be
sworn in before the election of Presi
den. Dro TEN. The drift of discussion,
saws the Washington Star, indicates that
a contest will probably be made. A
statement Of the custom Of the Senate
under circumstances similar TO those
which will exist on Monday next will be
found interesting. The journals of the
Senate show that, beginning with the
Second Congress and ending with the
Forthwith, there have been twelve SEES
sions OF the Senate at the beginning OF
which there was no presiding officer.
On ten Of those occasions a President
pr0 tenn. was elected before Senators elect
were sworn in. Ninety-seven Senators
elect have been thus sworn in, and only
three Senators elect have been sworn in
before the election Of President pro
lem.

Senator-elect Miller rep, N. "

Senator-elect Miller (Rep., n. " is,
or claims to be, a protectionist. He is a
manufacturer of the wood pulp used by
paper makers. 1t is stated, credibly,
that he proposes to move in Congress for
a repeal of the duties on chemicals used
in manufactures. He uses chemicals in
bis business, and as there are protective
duties upon them, his wood pulp costs
him more than it would if he was allow
ed to purchase in the cheapest market
The principle which he is acting upon is
that raw materials should not be pro-
tected. but he does not propose to carry
it into full effect. Wood pulp is raw
material in the paper making trade, and
papermakers are just as much entitled
TO a cheapening of their raw materials as
is Mr.. Miller, the wood pulp manufac-
turer, to a removal of duties from his
raw materials. But, like all protection.
lists, Mr.. Miller is seeking not the
general advantage, but personal profit.
He proposes TO deprive the American
manufacturers OF chemicals of their pro-
lection from foreign competition, but he
intends to retain his own protection.

Courier Journal: The Chicago Herald
advances the opinion, in a rather dicta-
torial way, that it should be made
plain that any man who says or attempts
to show that General Garfeld's death
was a political act should be regarded as
a public enemy General Garfield's
death was not a political act, but the
shooting of General Garfield was very
decidedly a political murder, as is ad-
mitted by many Republican oTgars.
The Chicago HsraId's talk is very stupid
and foolish. The plea Of insanity 10 not

Of Colorado in the matter of securing

demanding that the Apaches located
upon reservations in that Territory shall

that no slight portion of the Indian

CHARLES S. WOLFE, the "great
lreformer," announces himself as an
Independent Republican candidate for
State Treasurer. The following from
THE Franklin Press are our sentiments,
and in fact of every Republican paper
i'm the State that has come under our
notice, hence we can't understand lust
where Mr.. Wolfe's support is going to
come from. His actioas are even
severely criticised by the men who
stood by him in the convention: ain
announcing himself as an independent
candidate for State Treasurer, Charles
.S.Wolfe simply places himself in a
formal manner where he has been un.
lderstood to belong for years, outside
the Republican party, The fact that
bis friends entered the State Conven.
3tion in spirit Of fair rivalry, and
that Mr.. Wolfe was present to urge,
counsel and direct them, gives to the
Iact a touch of unmanliness that il
might otherwise have lacked. The
movement has not surprised those who
knew him, and has panied nobody
Except his friends. While he has not
startled his opponents he has grieved
/ his friends and alienated his followers. y
