Dfcsscd By him when the Bell case was
under discussion upon the power Of the
Executive Of State 10 appoint sena-
tor. He held that the vacancy which
came within the provision OF the
Constitution relating to this sub
iect was not one occurring in the
regular course Of events by expira-
ton Of term, but was one which related
to the personal circumstances Of a sena-
tor by whose retirement vacancy was
made. lie discussed the provisions Of
the Constitution and quoted precedents
in support Of his position. Up TO 1878
not decision had been made which
was not in accordance with his position.
The Lanman case had been admitted
during the discussion Of the right of
Mr.. Bell to seat by weighty authori-
ties on the Republican side TO be pre-
cedent for guidance in cases Of this
kind.
Mr.. Hoar did not think it would be
profitable to enter upon the wide field
of discussion which this question has
opened. The Senate would. he thought,
rest its action upon the authority
of Mr.. Bell as precedent, If
a legislative body could ever be
bound by precedent. The SEN
ate had bound itself in that case,
and it was established after a
full discussion by the great lawyers,
and the decision was non-partisan. The
great debaters who differed from the
majority put forth their best efforts,
rendering it certain that the decision
was made in full view Of all that had
bearing on the subject. The people of
New Hampshire had governed them
selves accordingly.
Should that decision be reversed the
pcople of New Hampshire and other
States would be compelled to change
their practice from time to time, accord
ing to changing majoritieS or opinions
Of the Senate.
After some further discussion, in
which MeSsrs. lIoar, Salisbury, Vest,
Jones of Florida, Ingalls,, Mcpherson,
Pike, Edmunds, and Morgan partici-
pated. the resolution was agreed to by
a yea-and-nay vote of &c to 20. The
only departure from division upon party
lines was in the case Of Mr.. Jones, OF
Florida. who voted in the affirmative
with the Republicans.
The oath was then administered to
Mr.. Blair by the Vice-President.
Upon motion Of Senator Cameron the
Senate. at 2:55 =. NJ, adjourned.

In sumatra there is n very singular
race called the kubus, who are too shy
to mix with the other races of the
island, and dwell in the recesses OF the
forests. They are looked on rs interiors
by the Malays, and thought to be little
better than beasts. Such is their shy
ness that they will never willingly face
a stranger. Their trade with the Ma
layans is consequently carried On in a
strange manner. The trader announces
his arrival by beating a gong, and then
retires from the place Of rendezvous.
The kubus approach, put their forest
treasures OH the ground, beat a gong,
and retreat The trader returns and
lays his commodities down in quantities
sufficient, as he thinks, for the pur-
chase of the goods on sale. Then ho
%retires, and the kubus reappear again
and consider the bargain.
And 50, after moro Withdrawals and
approaches and gong beatings, the re
speetive parties come to an understand
ing and carry or independently their
bargains. The Kubus in their wild
state do not bury their dead. They
live OF snakes, grubs, fruits, and the
flesh of any deer or pigs they can Stay.
They are skillful spearmen, and throw
stones with marvellous accuracy. They
know OF no state after death. In some
physical respects they assimilate closely
to the nnthrOpoid apes.
