Is Ingalls, Viee-President?

There can be no doubt that it was the
intention of the trainers of the Constltu-
tion that the Vice-President should per-
form the duties OF the President OF the
Senate, as we'll as bear the title OF that
| Office. It is the only service that Is re-
quired of him, except when he is called on
TO take the place of the President of the
United States. The words of the Constr
tutio0 are that be "shall be President OF
the Senate" and his regular attendance on
the deliberations of that body is assumed
10 the provision that he shall cast the de-
cisive vote when the Senate is equally
divided. He is paid salary to perform
the duties of this responsible position,
siuce he performs no other duties, and has
| no responsibility whatsoever, as Vice.
President.
1t is a plain evasion and abuse of the
terms of the Constitution that necessary
provision for supplying the place OF the
Vice-P President in his absence from the
| Senate should be made the warrant for his
prolonged absence aud neglect OF duty. A
like course of conduct on the part Of any
other "offcer of the Senate" or of the
Government, would not be permitted to
cspe sharp aud deserved oensure. There
is no reason why such censure should be
withheld when the offender holds the Sec
ond highest place in the gift OF the people.
The question whether the Senate is re-
quired to proceed to a formal election for
President pro ten1p0re, at every days
session when the President is absent, is of
little consequence. It is to be regretted, +,
however, that the majority ofthe Republi-
can Senators have accepted the view that
the daily election OF presiding officer is
not necessary to a compliance with the re-
quirements of the law which determines
the organization of that body, and that it
has been decided, accordingly, that Mr..
Ingalls, shall perform Mr.. Morton's duties,
at MIR Mor,on's convenience, "during the
5lst Congress"
The daily election of President pro
tenapore would have served, at least, to
keep conspicuously before the public the
fact of Mr.. Morton's absence, and doubt
less would have gone far towards restrict
ing the occasions Tor such elections within
reasonable and proper limits. Under the
rule which has been adopted, Mr.. Morton
will be left free to attend to his important
financial interests at the expense of the
public business, and it will not be strange
if the public mind snail be greatly
strengthened in the opinion which it al
ready entertains, that Mr.. Morton was
chosen for Vice-President more on account
of the magnitude of those interests than
of any peculiar fitness which he was sup
posed to possess for the discharge OF the
duties of the exalted position to which be
was nominated and elected Charleston
Nescs and Courier.

the Judge is Influenced in his ruling by an
erroneous view of the Law, his ruling can
be reviewed and reversed on an appeal.
Where the Judge remarked when the mo-
