rr,bc CubcrnatoriaJ Succession.

The -GuDcfnatOrldt succession,
In view of the death of our venerateds
Chief Magistrate, it is interesting to state
The provision made for the Guberna-J
torial succession. OF course, many of
our readers are familiar within
Sthe constitutional provisions for
sflling vacancy in the Executive office,l
however caused, but for the information
! of those unacquainted with the subject
we present the paragraph of the consti-I
Tuition covering the premises, and thel
enactment of the General Assembly IN
5furtherance thereof.
4 Paragraph of section / OF article D of
1.-THE constitution of Georgia provides that,
t.1n case of the death. resignation or disa-s
Sbility of the Governor, the President OF theE
Senate shall exercise the powers OF thes
Government until such disability be re-
emoved, or successor is elected and quall-l
lied. And in case of the death, reslgna-S
ztIon or disability of the President OF thel
Senate. the Speaker of the House,
Loft REPRESENTATIVES, shall exercise the EX-s
Secutiye powers of the government untllS
1.-THE removal of the disability by the elec-l
: ton and qualification of Governor"
For the filling of vacancy in the Ex-'
9ecutive office in furtherance of the above'
quoted constitutional provision, the GEM
eraf Assembly has enacted (COde of Geor-
gia, Section 1901 that
'sWhenever a vacancy shall occur I'M
4the office of Governor by death;
resignation or otherwise, it shall
be the duty of the President OF thel
SSenate or Speaker of the House OIL
Representatives, as the case may be, eX-
#ercising the executive powers OF the gov
dernment, as provided by the eighth para
Sgraph OF the first section of the NTH ar
fticle of the constitution of this State,)
Ito issue his proclamation IN 4
amediately upon his assumption OF
@tbe duties of the Executive, orr
#luring a special election. for Governor to-
8fill the vacancy so Occasioned for the uni
eexpired term, to take place at a. time not
3less than thirty, nor more than sixty days
&frOm the date of such proclamation; ana
8shau cOnvOke the General Assembly M
3extra session, to receive the returns andl
1declare the result of such special election;
NOr to elect Governor in case no person
SHALL receive a majority of the whole num-
her of the votes cast at such special elec-
1stiOn, as provided in the constitution OF
this State; said extra session OF tne
Assembly to convene within nj
zsteen DAYS from the date of such speclaI
4electiOn: DrOUi1ed, nevertheless, thatlf sucn
3yacancy occurs within six months next
d preceding the time prescribed by law for
1.-The regular election of Governor, there
shall be no special election, but the Pres
#idept of the Senate or Speaker OF the
tHouse of Representatives, as the case
Emay be, shall exercise the Executive
&powers of the government until such va
<cancy is filled by regular election"
8 1t is thus seen from the foregoing that
a vacancy having occurred in the Elk
Secutiye office Hon. j. S. BOynton, Presi-
4dent of the Senate, will assume the
&duties of Governor, and order special
election within the time prescribed to fill
1.-THE vacancy thus OccasiOned.

The Forty-seventh Congress.

The FOrty-seventh Congress expired byl
imitation at II noon yesterday. The first
session of the body was marked at its
commencement by a disgraceful bar
gain whereby Keifer was elevated
to the Speakership over the heads of better
men. The bargain Of the majority with
Malone in the Senate was even more dis
graceful. There is nothing in the record
IF the first session of this body that Isl
worthy of commentator. Indeed, sol
recreant did the majority prove TO its
Iuty that the people condemned it over
|whelmingly at the polls.
To this majority so sternly rebuked by
the people the President, at the opening
of the session just closed, presented wise
and patriotic recommendations. But one
Of these has been adopted, and
hat in a manner that leads
people to think that civil
service reform as understood by the Re
publican party is a yeritable farce. The
great question of taxation, after months
If discussion, has, by the extraordinary
action of both houses, been rendered
more complicated than ever. n reduc-
zion of internal revenue taxation has
been effected, but the relief does not reach
the great mass of taxpayers. Whatever
relief is afforded is given to special inter-
ests, the repeal of the match tax
being the sole really public benefit
conferred by the tax reduction bill.
The protected interests, on the whole,
fare better under the bill than under the
present tariff, and the people have the
alternative of submitting or ordering
their representatives in the next Congress
to undo the work just completed.
The river and harbOr bill, a measured
necessary to the public welfare, and one
of the few bills likely to promote public
interests, reported at the session just
closed, was presented so late that it died
lin the Senate. The sum of the
work Of the session, aside from the regu-
lar appropriation bills and some trivial
enactments, is windy pretense Of doing
what the majority never intended 10 do
and religiously avoided doing. The publicI
will breathe freely now, that this
Congress is dead and will look to its suc-
cessOr for a statesmanlike solution of thel
questions that it failed to settle.
Search Congressional annals, and al
more imbeeile and worthless Conf
gress than this, in which Robson had
pre-eminence, cannot be found. The peo-
pie should be feryently grateful at being
rid of it.
