The Succession Act.

Twice certainly, and possibly on three
it has happened that the United States
Government might have been left without
Chief Executive head, because of the
defective character of the law which under.
took to name what officer should act as
President if both Vice President and
President should be dead or incapacitated
Almost continuously for years the intelli'
gent public journals of the country have
been urging Congress to enact new Law
to provide for the defect and to remove
the threatening danger. Not, how
ever, until now, has Congress acted
when, thanks to the prompt action of tn,
Senate before the holiday recess, and tn,
almost equally prompt action of the Honst
since, bill far away superior to the existing
Law has been enacted. The bill provide.
that in the case of the death, resignation oil
removal or inability of both President anG
Vice President, the Secretary of Stat,
shall act as President, then the Secretary
Of the Treasury, and SO through the list
of the heads of the Departments, or "Cab-
met officers" as they are called in the
order OF seniority of the Departments. By
this act which now awaits the Peesident's
signature, seven lives, instead of two oil
none, are placed between a regular order
of Succession and possible anarchy
1t is not cre1itable to the last three or four
Congresses that such bill was not passed
long ago. Some criticism has been made
upon this bill, but il was not material
Besides making the succession seventy
times seven more secure, it has the great
merit of keeping the Executive Office in
the hands Of executive officers, instead oil
transferring it, against the spirit of the
Constitution, to one or other of two legisla-
tive officers, who might not be in exist
ence when wanted and whose assumption
of the office, If they were in existence,
might raise up many awkward compliea-
tions.-Phila. Ledger.

If appears that the inquiries by the
Senate committees into the causes of
Ssmovals from Office have been signed
by the Democratic Senators as well as
by the Republicans. In the language
of Pooh-Bah, as Senators they think it
right to learn the special reasons for
turning Republicans out of office, but as
Friends of the Administration they will,
doubtless, see that the Presidents pre-
negatives are not encroached upon.-N
