NIGHT SESSION.
Honse met al 7.30 D. M.

House met at 1880 p. m.
Messrs. Roberts, Acker and Ballenger
were appointed committee to inform
the Senate that the House was in readi-
ness for its reception with view to a
joint convention for the election of a
Librarian and Keeper of the Capitol.
The committee reported duty dig
charged, and Immediately thereafter the
Senator's entered and took the seats
assigned them.
The President of the Senate having
announced the object of the Convention,
Senator Powell moved that the Conven-
tion proceed to the election of Librarian.
Agreed to.
On motion of DIR. Henry, of the House,
three tellers were appointed-Messrs.
Dickson and Gibbs of the Senate, and
Mr.. Bush, of the House.
Mr.. Harrison moved that the Conven-
tion proceed to ballot without nomina-
tions, and the motion was received with
favor, but was withdrawn upon Senator
Reynolds arising to name a candidate.
He had heard no expression against the
present incumbent, Mrs. Mary Morancy,

are no rules. Some words like Pail Mall,
which is pronounced pell NELL, retain
the sound Of their foreign origin after
they have lost its form. But, then, the
ord'mall, meaning path, is pronounced
NAL, and es they both came from the
old French game Of paille maille, it may
be seen that the Englishman Gisdains

has dialect of his own. he says clark,
but the rest Of England says clerk. He
turns all his long as inso long is, saying
dyly pyper instead of daily paper, but
the country people do not. But, then,
he says Hereford, while the natives Of
that shire call it Hartford.

TIES NOTICED.

London Correspondent, New York Times
Some time am going to make whole
book about the funny things in the Eng
lish pronunciation. Everybody knows
about Majoribanks being Marshbanks,
and Cholmondeley being Churnley, and
Levison-Gower being Lewson gore.
These are the stock samples familiar to
all. Most people, know, too, that the
Norman names of Belvoir end Beau
champs are pronounced Beaver and
Beecham, while the equally Norman
name of Grosvenor retains its French
sound. But these are only sign-posts on
the road to general knowledge of the
subject. When you get to know why
Boughton is pronounced Bawton, while
Houghton has the long o. why Wemyss
should be Weems, and Knollys should
be Knowles, you will be getting on in
the mastery of the subject. But there

An Occasion of Urgency.


We published few days since syn
opsis Of the views Of the majority and
the minority Of the committee Of the
national house to which was referred
the bill Of Senator HolR, already
passed the Senate, on the important
question Of the Presidential succession.
We are not prepared to say'that there
are not well.founded objections TO the
bill, but We have no doubt that the part
Of wisdom requires that the bill should
be passed promptly in the shape that it
came from the Senate
There can be no question that there
are grave doubts as 10 the constitution.
ality Of the present law which, in the
event Of the death Of the President and
Vice President. devolves the duties Of
President, first, on the President Of the
Senate, and IN the event Of his death on
the Speaker Of the House. So profound
lawyer az Senator EvARTg, is Of the
opinion that the law is unconstitutional
and in this opinion the majority Of the
House committee concur.
But whether it be constitutional OF
not, the present political complexion OF
the Senate warns US Of the danger, that
by the mere accident Of death and that
too, of one person, the Executive De
partment'of the Goternment may be
transferred from the political party Ia
which it was entrusted so recently, Ia
the control Of that party which the peo.
pie by their votes have condemned.
Surely result so serious in its conse.
qucnces ought not to depend on so
triHing contingency,
1t is now the common understanding,
whether IL was contemplated by the
trainers of the Constitution or not, that
an election for President and Vice
President il intended to settle the ques.
ton OF political supremacy for four
years No one believes that this time is
too short. On the contrary, there are
not few who advocate a six years
term for these officers. The periOdicity
about which Mr.. EvARTs spoke
when the HoAR bill was being discuss.
in the Senate, may not be feature of
the Constitution to which as much
Importance was attached by its trainers
as Mr.. EvAETs seems to think; but in
the minds Of all, this periodicity seems
soon to be n necessary feature of our
system Of Government, and in the alb
sence of language in the Constitution
clearly showing an opposition to it, il
should be recognized in any law intend
ed to regulate the Presidential success
sion.
The bill of Senator HoAR secures the
Office of President to the Democrati,
party in the event of the death of Mr.
CLEVELAND, and this is the lCost impor
tant object to be attained by any legis
lation on the subject. Moreover, it ha
received the sanction of some of the pro
foundest lawyers in the Union,-Demo
Gratis and Republicans. 1t is 80 Just il
its ends, that il will be endorsed anC
approved by every patriotic citizen
should it become a law, aud should no
meet with opposition now because, for
sooth, some other measure may seem t.
be more satisfactory.
Pass the HoAR bill, provide for tn,
present, and employ the future in at
tempts to frame more satisfactory
measure, IL it be possible,
