| A BETTER SHOWING.
| "INABILITY." !"
| Washington, July 'l5-It is report
ed that one of the principal reasons
that induced the vice president to
withdraw from Washington was the
discussion of the constitutional ques-
4 ton as to the duty of the vice -presi-
dent to act in the place of the presi-
dent in case of the latter's $ inabili-
ty" the perform the duties Of Office.
General Arthur has steadily depre-
ciated the springing Of this question,
although the opinion of leading jur-
lists appears to be that in case the
presidents condition is not improved
shortly his inability will become too
manifest to allow the second officer of
the nation to longer decline the as
sumption of responsibility. Il is
hoped by vice. president Arthur and
all good citizens that the president
may gain enough within the next
few days to render the discussion Of
temporary t, succession unnecessary.

GETTING MAD.
Brooklyn, July 1.-THE Eagles
Albany special says. The defeat Of
the adjournment resolution made the
democrats very angry, and some Is
or 20 threatened to leave their seats
and allow the half breeds to elect
their candidates. This was said,
however, IN anger, and while there
is no real danger of their doing 20,
the stalwarts are uneasy. The
democrats have notified the stalwarts
that they must assist them to adjourn
Saturday, or be prepared to sec
half breeds elected. As q result,
there is great deal Of excitement.
Perhaps out of the determined stand
of the democrats something may
come.
