SENATOR Hoar on the 18th inst, re.
introduced tie bill that passed the Sen
ate last session providing for the Prosi-
deptial succession, This bill as our
readers will remember provides for the
event OF the death or disability OF both
President and Vice President, carrying
the succession all through the Cabinet,
commencing with the Secretary Of State,
and then, in the event of all of them
dying or being under disabilities, it
takes the range of the Supreme Court
Justices. One of the chief objections
urged is that inasmuch as the President
appoints the members Of the Cabinet, it
gives him the power to name his posi-.
bic successor.

cedented, and strangely enough is in
many cases characterized by the de-
mand for places for which the appli-

the House best calculated to conduct
its arduous business intolligently and
successfully, but heavy pressure is
being brought to bear in favor of the

Chairman of the Committee on Ter
ritories in the 46th Congress. and

ceded to him by outsiders, in the

in the near future to be one of The

for the admission of Dakotah, New

'fhe Memphis 81 Brunswick Road

The frequent prediction OF the
Examiner that work would be ro.
newed upon the Memphis road at an
early day, and that it would be com
pleted on line via. Aberdeen to
birmingham, is likely to be verified,
making our city one OF the most
important railroad functions aud
crossings in the South west. That
arfang gements for the immediate fin
ishing up of the work between Mem
phis and Dolly Springs are well nigh
eonsumated, the reports from those
cities give us little reason to doubt,
and If as is supposed, the Kansas
City and Memphis road is ''the power
behind the throne" nothing is less
probable than that the terminus of
the line will be permitted to halt
long at Holly Springs.
1t was mainly through the inatru.
mentality of our citizens that the
Memphis & Selma, and the Aberdeen
x EIyton (Birmingham) roads were
chartered, surveyed and organized,
and it will be a glorious requital of
our efforts and expenditures if in the
building OF Il line from Memphis to
Birmingham through Aberdeen, we
attain all Of the benefits that the two
projected roads, were expected to
bestow.
