many would contend that this could only be
done in cases which would not mako IL n re-

here were cases where senators resigned dur
ing tho recess and the constitution provides
expressly that vacancies so occurring shall be
filled at elections ordered by the governor
If the vacancies occurred by forfeiture, then
still they occurred during tho recess, and
the governor could order the elections They
did not occur prior to tho recess, for tho
senators served to the last hour Of tho
last session. Their right to so serve could
only be decided by tho body in which they
sat, and their retention was the decision.
The vacancies did not occur after tho recess,
for the men resigned. They occurred during
the recess, and the denial of seats to the
newly-electod senators is revolutionary, or,
what is better statement, It is bourbon ab-
solutism. The object is to get two-thirds

The other day prominent Carlisle clergyman
went to the depot 10 take the train for Harrisburg.
He was followed by his son, bright little fellow
of years As tho train was about to start the boy
asked his father to take him with him, "Oh, no."
said the father, jokingly; you walk to Harris
burg" and the train moved OFF. That afternoon
the minister was startled at receiving in this city
dispatch from his wife stating that she had heard
the lad had started to walk to Harrisburg, and
there was great CONSERVATION as to whetIer he
had taken the railroad track or one Of the roads.
The telegraph was put to use, but no tldings could
be learned of the boy. About $50 o'clock there

RevolutIo onary Conduct In Virginia.

-Four Virginia state senators, viz, Mcssrs.
Jones, Stevens, Martin, and Rico, resigned their
seats prior to the assembling of the legisla-
turc. They sat in the senate during the last
session of that body. Their right to seats
then was determined by tho senate ITSELF
which under the constitution is the sole
judge of the qualifications of its own mem
bcrs. 1t is clear that their seats were not va
cant during the last session of the legislature.
During the recess they resigned. This they
did under advice that, having ac-
cepted offices state and federal, they
were no longer eligible to seats
in the legislature. The vacancies having
thus occurred during the recess of the lcGis-
lature, elections to I'll them were ordered by
the governor, as required by the following
clause in the constitution of the state of
Virginia:
Each house shall appoint its own officers settle
| its own proceeding, and direct writs of election
| for supplying intermediate vacancies but II
vacancies shall occur during the recess Of the gen
| eral assembly, such wrts may be issued by he
/ governor, ulucf suCll IebulullOnS ~ w pre-
scribed by law.-(constitution of Virginia, sec. 4
art. W
At these special elections the readjusters
elected their candidates. The men elected
are refused their seats by the bourbon senate
OH the ground that the vacancies occurred by
forfeiture and not by resignation, and that,
therefore, they must be filled under writs oi
election ordered by the senate. That this is
an outrage upon the right of representation
is clear upon their own statement of tho case,
If the ex-sonators forfeited their seats by nc.
cepting other Offices, such forfeiture did not
operate before the recess. The senate, which is
tn sole Judge of the qualifications of its OWL
members, adiudged them to be senators NJ
to the moment of the adjournment of the last
session. From this Judgment there is no ap
peal. If they had not resigned during the
re cess, but had appeared to take their seats
The new senate might have declared that bI
acc epting other offices thCy had ceased to b'
senators, and might have directed

Nnt Our ElChf.

Our dispatches yesterday stated that the
New Orleans Judge before whom the prelimi-
nary examination took place of the persons
charged with the recent political murders in
that city had discharged all the accused eX-
cept one, who was required to give bail for
his future appearance in court. Probably
this is the end of the case at least it is safe TO
predict that no person will be punished. In
the late afIray three persons were
killed and seven wounded; but hu-
man life is so cheap in the
south and tho execution of law so lax that
there is no reason to suppose any person will
suffer for tho crime. Justice in tho south is
about equal to the task of lynching a negro
upon some false accusation, or perhaps send.
ing him to tho penitcntiary for robbing hen
roost, but persons charged with murder gen.
orally go scot free, unless they happen to have
black skin, which, according to tho south
ern code, is regarded as prima facio evidence
of guilt.
But there is another phase of the New Or
leans murders that is worthy of remark, viz,
alike were democrats. The killing took place
ut democratic primary election, the MUIR
derers representing one democratic faction
and the victims another. As general rule,
the victims of political murders in the south
are republicans. but this case forms a con-
spicuous exception. Without wishing to ap-
pear cruel or inhuman, we will venture to
say we are glad of this. There has been such q
monotony of republican murders in the south
that we think it @ healthy change to have a
few democrats murdered by democrats. We
congratulate the republicans of Now Orleans
that they had nothing whatever to do with
the recent murders. Doubtless if there had
riot occurred they would have been charged
with having instigated it, and have been held
responsible for tho murders. But, as before
stated, this was democratic primary cleo
tion, and as negroes are very scarce on suci
occasions it was practically impossible t.
make out case against them. 1t is probably
the first case on record in the south wher,
democrats Of all shades Of opinion are agreed
that tho killing was done by democrats. w,
believe the event will be productive of goot
in enabling the Louisiana bourbons to se
themselves as others SEQ them, and perhap
give them @ realizing sense of the infam.
of political murders. 1t is a case of demo
cratic chickens coming homo to roost-th
shotgun policy applied by democrats to dem
ocrats. If southern bourbons will continu
to kill one another the friends of progress
can afford to look on with judicial impair
tiality, whilo southern republicans will hav
reason to congratulate themselves that tn
democratic fire has been diverted from ther
and directed upon their own ranks.

always with her native land in its various
