sweet hallucinali0n, health was once
more restored, and the hands which had
wrought so increasingly and well for the
cause of our common humanity were
nerved anew for the grand work
for which God had fashioned them;
memory dethroned fear; doubt and ap-
prehension vanished away, neither was
there any more pain; the thought of the

President Arthur has done a wise
thing, incur Judgment, in calling an ex-
ira session 81 the Senate 10 meet on the
10Th OF next month! AS there is At
present neither President of the senate
nor Speaker of the House, there exists
no provision for succession to the Chief
Magistracy in the exigency of Presi-
dent Arthur's death, which event, should
itoccur today, would leave the govern
ment without any authorized head.
In view of this phase of the situation
the wisdom Of the Chief Executive in
summoning together the Senate to
make provision for the extraordinary
emergency which is entailed by a culpa-
pable omission of duty on tie part of
the last congress, will commend itself TO
all and his timely action in this direc-
ton will meet with the general endorse
ment of the people.
The business of the extra session will
most likely be confined 70 the election
Of presiding officer, and it is a source
Of satisfaction 10 know that it seems to
be the sense of many of the leading
members of the senate that its delibera.
tions should not be marred by any par
tisan struggle, at a time when the nation
is just emerging from the gloom in
which the death OF the late President
has shrouded it. The situation involves
some nice questions of political expedi-
ency which the Democratic members
may be disposed to make the best of,
but we do not believe that the country,
in view of the feeling of amiiy which
everywhere prevails, will he afflicted
with bitter and protracted contest over
the questions TO be settled at the extra
session.
