THE EXTRA SESSION OF THE
SENATE.

President Arthur has called the Senate
to meet in extra session at noon on Mon
day, October 10th, for the transaction of
business. This business is, in the main,
to elect President of the Senate who
shall be the successor of the President of
the United States in case of vacancy &C.
curing in that office, and thus not leave
the country at sea. This dilemma, it will
be remembered, would have been avoided
had the Senate at its last session elected a
President pro ten1., an election that no OPP
portunity was given for, because the chair
of the Vice President was not vacated by
Mr.. Arthur. AS the Senate stands at
present the majority of its members who
have been sworn in are Democrats
Through the resignation of MeSsrs. Conk
ling and Platt of New York, and the death
OF Senator Burnside of Rhode Island, va
capcies are left from those States until
their successors are sworn in. AS tbs
Senate must be organized before there can
be a President of it who can receive the ere
dentials of the new Senator'S, the Demo
Gratis will have the choice OF the successor
of Mr.. Arthur. After the organization is
completed the strength of the two politi-
cal parties in it will be a tie with no one
to break it as in the case Of Mr.. Arthur,
who, as the presiding Vice President could
decide the tie votes that came up before
him. The new presiding officer of the
Senate will still be only Senator and his
vote will make instead of break a dead
lock.
The Democrats may in fit of polti-
cal chivalry elect some "conseEvatlve Re-
publican" to the place made vacant by the
elevation OF Vice President Arthur, but if
they do it will only be a strained courtesy.
not carrying out the will OF the majority
of the people of the Union. Neither Pres
ideht Garfield nor Vice President Arthur
received a majority of the popular vote of
the United States. On the contrary a
majority of the popular vote of the coun-
try was cast for other candidates.
It is hardly likely that the contending
factions of the Republican party will be SO
unmiEdful of the proprieties of life as to
renew their contentious In the called ses-
sion Of the Senate, though their hatred of
each other is so intense that it is not safe
to predict even a temporary peace between
them. The struggle between the factions
in New York to get control of the next
State Republican Convention is so bitter
that its transfer to the Senate of the Uni
ted States is not a matter of impossibiliJy
1t will be certain, however, later on at the
regular session and as the election of Mr..
Arthur deprives Gen. Malone of the key
of the position, President Arthur will
find it difficult without the help of the
Democrats III the Senate to furnish his
wing Of his party any material aid, a sItua
ton of affairs that will only make tie
struggle more bitter.

THE CLUBS OF AUGUSTA.

The general public Of this county and
state were unbounded in their expressions
of admiration Of the way the Democratic
clubs of Augusta ran the last Presiden-
tial campaign. Anywhere in Virginia,
where any interest was shown in political
matters, the Augusta clubs were familiar
as the best organizers with hardly an eX-
ception in The Commonwealth. We trust
this unsurpassed reputation will be preser-
we'd in this campaign and increased. We
can appreciate how The certainty OF carry
ing a county can sometimes produce
apathy, but We must remember that the
State at large is in deadly peri! and that
every vote more sent up from Augusta fol
Daniel gives her that much mos credit in
the victorious effort to rescue her.
The county clubs should not wait, but
orgarize at once and communicate prompt
ly with the Stanton club. We want the
county clubs to have their full credit fol
the tremendous Democratic vote to be
polled in Virginia on the Sth of November

THE SUSPICIOUS COLORED
VOTER.

1t is an open secret that the Coalition
party is finding the colored vote harder to
manage than was expected. Whether
this is due to the ignorance or the intelll-
gence of the colored voter may be mat
ter of discussion with Gen. Mahones fol-
lowers, but it is certainly not matter of
surprise to any one. The removals of COL
ored men from Office and the putting OF
white men in their places has been carried
far enough to alarm any cOlored men who
had put faith in the assurance that their
race were to have recognition" by the
new party. In looking over the published
list we find that Geo. M. Arnold, colored
man of remarkable intelligence, filing the
place of postal clerk on the Richmond and
Danvllle railroad, has been turned out and
a white man given the position. W. IL.
Lester, a colored clerk in the office OF the
u. S. Revenue collector of the Petersburg
district has met a similar fate, and Tol.
Branch a colored revenue officer at Farm
vile. has gone the same road. The Vir-
ginia ssPost," a paper published by colored
men in Alexandria, says that Geo. A.
Newman, of Harrisonburg, colored, was
appointed by Collector Bolts to the posi-
zion of store-keeper iand gauger, and Sena-
tor Lewis kindly went On his bond. He
waited for an appointment to &c on duty
but got none and finally after several
months. went back to Harrisonburg and
went to school teaching again "a place
given him by the detestable Bourbens. =
We remember noticing the appointment of
Newman at the time and calling attention
to the fact that that it was The first time
a colored man had been appointed to
similar position in this district, 1t ap
pears from the "Post's'' statement that it
was but an empty compliment. We hardly
hink it remarkable, with such removals
as those named and such appointments"
as this one quoted by the POST" that the
colored man is becoming puzzled as to
where his recognition is to come from.
such tactics fully account for the other
wise puzzling meeting in Petersburg, where
tho straight-out colored men held full
convention in Gen. Mahone's own city
and nominated straightout Republican
ticket for the House of Delegates, nor need
Il now create surprise to see colored ora
tors traversing the State fiercely inveigh-
inc against such removals and appoint
uoents and the suspected Coalition.
