THE President has appointed BENZ
amin Harris Brewster, Of Philadelphia,
Attorney General. The nomination,
which was referred TO the Judiciary
committee and reported TO the Senate,
has been unanimously confirmed by
that body. Mr.. Brewster is we'll
known as an able and accomplished
lawyer, little eccentric perhaps, and
will not be fretted by the nice inde-
pendent scruples which forced the
retirement of his distinguished prede.
cessor. Mr.. Brewster was formerly
ideutifc,izwiih the Democratic party
but driited into the Republican party
when division and disc0rd in the
Democratic ranks brought its enemies
into power. He is, therefore, like
Grant, and other violent Sialwarts, a
Republican recruit from the Demo
cracy, and as such persons generally
turn into the most jealous and unre-
leniing partisans, he will no doubt be
in full accord with the Sialwart ad-
ministration in its most radical meas
ures. Unlike Grant, however, he
possesses legal ability for a brilliant
career in the service of the govern
ment, which, If not subordinated to
the desperate gang with whom he is
associated, may rGise the name Of
Brewster TO a respectable height on
the roll Of distinguished men who have
preceded him in the legal department.
But the new Attorney General will
have TO look well 10 bis official scalp,
If Cameron, who never forgives an
offence and who is now entrenched in
the highest feathers Of the administra-
ton, does not fiud means .at the proper
time 10 revenge these words spoken by
Mr. Brewster in an intexview publish
cd in the Philadelphia Times in 1877 I:

not want him. Failing in that, By the
coarse brute force OF organized power,
he iosiled his old father out of his place,
and thrust himself into Senate where
he will be an object Of derision and die
gust. The public are sick Of these
odious men, and the public will do away
with them. We have destroyed humAs

The utter insuffiency of the pres
ent statute framed to determine the
Presidential succession in case of the
death, removal or disability Of both
the President and Vice. President, says
the Washington Post, was well illus
trated by the remarks of Senators.
Beck, Maxey and Anthony upon the
question. The different theories pro-
pounded leave the whole matter in ut
ter confusion. Under existing stat
utes the President pro tempOre Of the
Senate aud Speaker of the House,
both Of whom may not be eligible di-
rectIy to the Presidency on account Of
foreign birth or insufficient age, stand
in succession, aud they are not officers
Of the United States. So much for
the fact /; the queries arising out Of il
are more confusing. Does the Presi-
dent pro tempore, while discharging
the duties of President, vacate his seat
as Senator, or the Speaker of the
House. while 80 acting, cease 70 be \
Representative in such way as the
State OF district has the right 70 choose
new Senator or MemberS J After
either of these gentlemen ceases to be
acting President, does he resume his
seat 10 the branch Of Congress from
which he camel While acting as
President does or does he not continue
to be President pro tempOre or Speak
er, as the case may be9 Can either
continue TO act a. President after his
term as Senator or Representative has
ceased 7 AZ the Senate has the power
to change its President pro tempore
every day, can it elect one whiIeanoth-
er is acting President, and so change
the incumbent of that oiiicef Does
the successor Of IN incumbent labor
ing under inability hold for . full
term or only until the inability be re-
moved : And whenever any one sue
ceeds President, Is It to the duties
only or to the Office itself? These aud
other practical questions suggest them
selves to every mind, and they ought
TO be done away with by : carefully
prepared statute, perfectly clear in
terms, and fixing the succession in
such a manner as to cover all possible
contingencies.
