The Oregon SenatOrship.
WASHINGTON, Feb 2S.-The adjournment
Of the Oregon legislature without eecting
senator for the term beginning March !, and
the probability that successor to Senator
Logan will not be chosen when the senate
cOnvenes next month in extra session, has
caused discussion as to the powers of the gov
ernors of Illinois and Oregon to fill the vacan-
cies. The question arises, are these vacancies
such as in the meaning of the constitution the
executive Of the states are authorized to fill by
appointment The language Of the constitu-
ton Is: "And If vacancies happen by resigna-
tion or otherwise during the recess of the leg
islature OF any state, the executive thereof may
make temporary appointments until the next
meeting of the Legislature, which shall then
fill such vacancies" The most recent consd-
GRAFTON OF this question by the senate occurred
when Senator Bell was appointed by Governor
Prescott Of New Hampshire in 1879 to fill the
vacancy arising by the expiration Of Senator
Wadleigl's term Of service. The case differs
somewhat from all the precedents cited in it,
consideration, rs it involved another question,
namely: Which Of the two legislatures had
the right to elect Senator Wadleigl's successor?
But the right OF the governor to appoint in
case of failure Of the legislature to perform its
duty, entered into the discussion that then took
place. After full consideration Of the sub.
ject, Senator Bell was admitted by vote of 35
to Is. The National Republican has made an
examination of the preccdents, and froIu these
it appears that parties appointed by the gover-
nors Of states to fill vacancies, when the ap-
p0intments were made after the vacancies oc-
CURED, were admitted to seats in the senate.
The legislature Of Oregon having adjourned
without electing senator, there can be no
doubt, in the light of precedent, that an ap-
pointment made by the governor of that state
to the vacancy which occurs March will he
recognized by tile senate, and that the man who
may be appointed may be admitted as mem-
Der of that body. In the case of Illinois, it is
doubtful whether an appointment can be made
by the governor while the legislature is in ses-
sion, and the question Of electing senator
under consideration.
SALEM, Ohio Feb. 23.-Gov. Moody said to-
day he thought he had right to be indignant
at being placed In doubtful and perplexing
position through the neglect of the legislature
to do its duty. He had not yet carefully exam
ined the law, and 80 had not definitely deter
mined what his duty in this emergency was.
''But," lie added II think that shall appoint.
This much, however, is certain: l shall not
appoint senator till there is a vacancy, which
does not occur till March 4. 1t would be inl-
possible Tor any man whom I could name at
the time to arrive in Washington to attend the
short extra session, 80, unless the new l,resi-
dent calls an extra session, there will be no
need of a senator till December. shall be in
no haste to fill the vacancy.-Pi0ueer Py'ese,
