The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1881-09-01

GOVERNOR HENDRICKS opinion
is, that in case of the inability of
the president to perform the func-
tions of his office, the vice president
has authority to discharge the
powers and duties of the Office that
he does not become president there
by, and therefore there is no ques-
ton about how to divest him of that
property when the inability has
ceased. If the plain reading of the
constitution be received there can
be no dispute about this. And the
effect is the same in case of death OF
the president as in case of inability
in either case the vice president DIS
charges the powers and duties OF
the Office, but does not become
president. AS the constitutional
provision is the same in both cases,
they who admit that in case of ina
bility the vice president discharges
the powers and duties of the office,
but does not become president, have
to recognize also that, in case OF
death, he only discharges the powers
and duties, and does not become
president.

A SPIRITUAL seance was lately
held to inquire into the results in the
case of President Garfield. The
spirits of Lincoln, Seward, Staunton
Zach. Chandler, Wilson and others
were present and conversed freely
through the medium. They all were
anxious about the president, but all
asserted he would certainly recover
AS to the probable presidential sue
cessor, they stated that Arthur
could not be inaugurated, since
there was no doubt he was of Cana
dian birth. None of the spirits
would talk about Bliss. lis under
stood he stands badly over there,
having sent too many over the river
before they had time to arrange
matters properly on this side.

Some years ago the courts oil
Pennsylvania granted bill for di.
vorce on the allegations of a man
that he had been deceived and be-
came husband through the lying
and fraud of his wife. He charged
that she had lied about her age,
verbally and by means of hair-dye
false teeth, and the judicious use OF
more or less cotton batting had
made her figure to become a peram-
bulating, snowy falsehood, and that
he had been grossly deceived
into matrimony thereby. This
was a bold invasion of long-estab-
lished female rights. Now the Brit
ish courts have taken up the matter,
and Miss Mabel Wilberforce, the
fraud who was recently summarily
sat down upon in her action against
old man Philip, is to be prosecuted
for forgery in swearing that she was
born in San Francisco In 1854, and
was consequently twenty-seven years
old, whereas she was considerably
Older, having given birth to a child
in 1860, which is unreasonable to
suppose she died at the a re of six
years." If this thing goes ON there
is danger that the life of the female
of uncertain age will become who'll
ly burden.
