fairly amenable to the charge Of a less dignified
or iustfable motive. The act seems to us the
more judicious for removing, as it does, the
very cause which the Republican assumes
would lead the President to convene the
Senate in extra session. namely: that " the
President is aware of the fact that vacancy
must occur in the chair of the Senate at the
close of the present session." And even in the
event of an extra session there would yet
be a vacancy till it assemblies. But
so it was," says our contemporary,
Gin 1857 and 1877. The Senate, when 1t
next met, in both cases, ordered one OF its
members to swear in the Senator it desired
for President pro tenn" But on neither OF
those occasions had there been death of the
President or Vice President as now, and con-
the latter would have been on hand
to assume the Presidential office if vacated
for any cause. The whole force of the argu-
ment which justifes the action of Mr.. Davis
and of the Senate and, we take it, the whole
cause of such action, consists in the fact That
there is now no Vice-President, as on both
those occasions there was.

PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE.

Hon. David Davis, Senator from Illinois,
whose term expires with this Congress, has
resigned his place as President of the Senate,
and successor will have to be chosen. The
precaution is taken with view to an event,
always possible, the vacation of the Presi-
dency during the interim before the next
assembling of the Senate, by the death or
other disability of President Arthur. The pro
tempore President Of the Senate, so chosen in
place of Mr.. Davis, would then be qualified
to act as President, as empowered to do by
the constitution.
The National Republican, we think, is in
error in supposing the motive for this act to
he the elevation of member of the present
Senate who holds over to the exclusion Of
members newly chosen who would take their
seats and become eligible at an extra session.
Ex-senator Davis is entitled to be considered a
having performed patriotic duty and is moi

THEATRICAL MANNERS.

The conventional miscellany that is bruited
concerning an opera house for San Antonio
might admit of amendment by bruiting some
what concerning theatrical manners. The in
telligence and refinement of a community are
got at about as readily at a theatre as at re-
unions and balls. The fashion and temper of
applause, endurance of low wit, restraint under
stage provocations, and especially forbearance
toward star whose luminosity is not suffi-
cient to cause his recognition in company of
sticks who commonly surround such, all af-
ford tests of the character of an audience.
But among them all, the test that most
satisfactorily denotes its quality, is the
encore. Where a singer shall have
exhausted herself in the delivery
of an exquisite operate aria, or
cavatina, to the universal delight, and re-
ceves hearty and prolonged applause it is
plea SAINT enough, and attests the good taste of
the audience even if the applause be contin-
ued till, painting and breathless, she reappears
and bows her thanks. But then stop ;.for the
audience that persists in the encore and in
sists upon having over again that aria, which
it has paid for but once, and constrains the
distressed and injured lady into its repetition,
or into singing something else perhaps less
trying. should have no opera house. Itwould
be better fitted with barn and galaxy of
Ethiopians than artists refined and sensitive to
whom the performance Of role in an opera is
often an exhausting labor. This abuse
is much too common. OF course there
are roughs in all public assemblies,
and sometimes only such commit the ofense.
But too frequently it extends to the body of
the house and becomes general. Instead of a
few quiet Kisses that would be likely to stran-
gle the offense it extends, as fire through dry
grass. An encore by an audience is proper
enough at times, and if REPETITION is volun-
teered there is no offense, but when the per-
former expressly declines, and, bowling
thanks, withdraws, to persist is the part of
ill breeding for which an opera house is not
the proper cure.

DYING AMONG STANGERS.
Remarkable Narrative of the Nephew OF
Ex-President JuareZ

Remarkable Narrative of the Nephew of
Ex-President Juarez.
A man lay dying at the Hospital Meckar in
Paris, France, Saturday, who claimed to be a
nephew of ex-President Juarez, of Mexico.
In response to questions by the Commissary
of Police, he said:
"My name is Don Alfonso Juarez. am
38 years of age and am a nephew of Juarez,
formerly President of the Mexican Re-
public. AS Captain in the Mexican navy,
acted as orderly for my uncle. When he

hope of reaching Versailles, where one OF my
friends of former days resides, but exhausted
with the fatigue and privation have lately
endured, my strength failed me and | fell

To establish his identity the man produced
from his pocketbook his certificate of birth
and his commission as an officer in the Mex
lean navy. But faint hopes were expressed
for his recovery.

THE DEATH of Alexander II. Stephens will
not cause surprise, only in the way that he
was the most remarkable invalid this country
has produced. For quarter Of century he
has been almost bed-ridden, and has served
his State for years in the Congress of the ma
ton in an nvalid's chair, which was wheeled
in and out of the House Of Representatives by
a servant. He died Governor of Georgia.
He was Vice President of the so-called South
en Confederacy, and yet he was an anti
secessionist at the start and tried to hold his
State in the Union. He was man Of great
fairness, of genius and at heart patriot, and
his name will go down to history honored and
