Speaker once in the line OF the presidential sue
cession, according to one authority at least, would
not lose his claim upon it, by the expiration
Of the Congress- to the House OF Representatives OF
which he was elected but would be eligible in the
contingency contemplated by Section 146 OF the
Revised Statutes to the presidency until his sue
cessor was elected. This extraordinary view of
the matter Is to be found in the following volume
"Duer's Outlines of the Constitutional Jurispru-
dence OF the United States" by VIM. Alex. Duer,
LII D., president OF Columbia college, New York
NY. It was published In 1888, and dedicated to
James Madison: This work was published as the

American Lyceum, requesting the author to pre-

Manning and Kelly.

DANIEL j. MANNING. who managed the
canvass at Chicago and in New York a.
well in behalf Of CLEvELAYD, has shown
that he is skiliul diplomatist snd fisher OF
men. At Chicago he made no mistakes, o'-
Tended nobody, treated all the asplrants
with courtesy, used no threats, tried to ST.
lence no speaker, and yet won tho battle as
soon as it was begun.
JOHN KELLY did and was whatever NAN
MING did not and was not. He made GER
tain a nomination that bad not been
certain before be opposed 1t with and
by his Tammssy methods. But KEEL
1T cannot bolt. Tammany Hall will
not allow him so to do. He holds
bis place as chief OF the Tsmmsny
"braves" because he supports Democratic
men and measures. II he should bolt, he
would soon cease to have any influence in
the Democratic party. All Of KsLLY's OPP
position TO CLEVELAND was based upon
considerations personal to himself. His
course makes 1t much easier for the Inde-
pendent Republicans OF bis State and Mas
sschusetts to rally to the support OF CLRvn-
LAND. Altogether, the stars in their courses
fought for CLEVELAND. The signs are all
auspicious.

Fashion Notes.

Pompadour laces are much admired for
summer toilets.
Hammered silver is coming into fashion
again for sleeye-buttOns.
Coachipg-hats have high crowns with
broad, ilaring brims. They are trimmed
with profuslon OF lace or feathers.
The newest dressing sacques are trimmed
with a great deal OF colored embroidery,
and have iabots OF lace, oriental or escu-
rial, down the front.
Flower-bonnets are still in favor. The
latest have foundation In green, TO imitate
the leaves OF the flowers, aud these are
studded over with violets, daisies. or lilies
OF the valley, and the whole is afterwards
covered with tulle veil.
The most novel OF the high standing col.
lars, so fashionable, have little bands OF
c0lored embroidery around the edge. CuIs
come to match them. Colored linen is
fashionable for collars and cufs, and they
are worn with all kinds OF cotton and
woollen dresses.

soft woollen goods form quite an important

There is an enterprise carried on in De-

never appears in the statements OF the city's
varied prosperous industries. Its novelty
Is such that it has never yet attained the
dignity OF name. IL is carried on when
a majority OF the citizens are asleep. Those
engaged In IL prosper upon the caIelessness
and misfortures Of others. Their income de-
fles definite prediction, but can be depended
on for handsome return on the capital.in
vested. The few engaged in this industry
might be termed " finders" The pioneers
Ia the business were gas-lighters. Scarcely
one OF their number, who has been en-
gagged with the craft for any considerable
length Of time, has failed to find one or
more articles which afforded handsome
addition to his regular income. Almost
every night there was valuable find or
two. and as knowledge OF the fact came
10 few men who were waiting for some
thing TO turn up, they saw In it golden
opportunity. and are now laying up treas
ures from what they can find.
One OF these individuals lives in Closes

day he may be seen abroad, travelling at a
good round pace, scanning the sidewalk
and doorways. and swooping down on
anything OF sufficient value to repay the
loss OF q minute or So. There are also

We cannot but congratulate the states
men and the editors who led the way to
harmony in the Democratic National Con-
vention upon this important question. But
for those papers and statesmen, the delegates
from many OF the States would have gone

object correctly. For
First, the - moral force" Of the nomi-
nation Of Polk and PIERCE rather than Of
statesmen known to the people Of the whole
country was much less than would hare
been the "moral force" In each case OF
tho nomination OF great party leader.
Secondly, II mere majority might be
made by States which could not possibly
cast Democratic vote" the danger Is in-
caIculsbly greater that factious minority
might be made by such States. and thus
the choice Of the people be ,hwarted. Their
negative power Is much more than double
their Affirmative power.
Thirdly, against "sttempts at bribery"
there con be no adequate protection, and
we trust there il no need for it, whilst
"corrupt combinations are much more
likely TO be forced upon national conven-
ton by the two-thirds rule than by the ma
jority rule. There is ten times as much
danger OF "cor,upt combinations TO Sc
cure two-thirds vote as OF "corrupt CON-
binations " to secure mere majority.
That's our view Of the question. More
over, We are confident that the rule had for
Its object the protection OF the slave-hold-
ing States, whatsoever other plausible expia'
nations Of II may have been given.
