The Vice Presidency.

The Associated Press last evening sent out
the following in regard to the reorganization
of the senate: 1t is believed that the an
nouncement by Judge Davis that he will re-
sign the Office of president pro tempore at
noon next Saturday, was prompted by infor-
nation from President Arthur that he does
not intend to convene the senate in special
session on the fifth of March.
1t is understood that the democratic sena-
tors will offer no opposition to the prompt
election Of n republican senator as president
pro temporc.
Mr. Anthony, who filled this position from
1869 TO 1873, and who was the choice Of the
republican caucus in 1884, will not be eligible
for election to hold the place during the com.
ing recess, as his present term will expire with
the legislative day Of March 3, and he cannot
be sworn in again until the next meeting oi
the senate.
Although no caucus action has yet been
taken ON the subject, the indications are that
Mr., Edmunds will be chosen president pre-
tcmpOrc, and that the other officers Of the
senate will hold their positions until De-

THE democracy, having failed in their
efforts of two years ago to fuse with theTcad-
iusters, and having failed in their recent
efforts to fuse with the republicans against
the readjusters, are now shocked at the con-
tinuation Of the friendly coclition between
the two parties which rejected their suit.
Their Washington organ declares that honest
men should prefer to be in minority
rather than in majority secured by such a
bargain" OF course the democracy could be
happy with either the republicans or the
readjusters but they cannot abide that these
two should be friends. He'll knows no fury
like fusion-hunting bourbon scorned.

Maud S. in March, 1852, for $2l 900. In Au-
gust, at Saratoga, her trainer said she had
won exactly $2l, 900, which Mr., Vanderbilt
divided between the jockey and the trainer
Maud S. cost the man who bought her from
the Kentucky stock farm $3.50. Two gentle.

Long and short Names.

The length or shortness of names has at
tnctcd more or less attention in literary his
tory, and some interest is felt in this branch
of the subject. The Spanish nobility have in
times past attached great importance to long
and dignified names, and an instance is given
in English annals Of Spanish ambassador
considering himself insulted by being obliged
to deliver his credentials to an Englshman
named Cults. The Spaniard thought that the
Briton must be a very low fellow or he would
have longer name, and much explanation
had to be made before he could be pacifed,
The ancients used sometimes lengthen their
names when coming into fortune or ascend
ing throne. The shortest name Of history
is from Germany, and consisted of acapital A.
Il he longest family names are also German.
In I his particular Germany rivals Spain, but
the latter is a little ahead, though the gain is
by trick The Spanish mobiles, in order to
render their names more high sounding, usu-
ally add the place of their residence, and Don
Quixote will therefore become Don Quixote
dc Ia Mancha, and his Dulcinea will be meta
morphosed into Donna Dulcinea del Toboso.
But in fair contest, this trick will be ruled
out and the Germans will come in ahead A
German newspaper some years ago contained
n marriage notice of Mr.. Spitteimericher to
Miss DudelmOeser, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. DIR. Dunderberger A New
York directory once published the name of q
Mr. Vonderblnkenstoilenh Such names
as these are attended by no small disadvan-
tage. Imagine somebody trying to inform the
last named gentleman that his house was on
fire or his wife was in the well, and the diff

common with a party which preferred
that Africans should be brought here
to labor as slaves rather than SEQ
the work given TO white men who stood
ready to do IL for fair wages. Not in the
slave states, but in tho free territories Of the
northwest did the democracy endeavor to fOs-
ter slave labor and drive out all white men
who could not own slaves. Now they seek
to close our manufactures by low tariff and
deprive American labor of is present advan-
tage. And yet they have the audacity to
talk about republican unfaithfulness to labor
