plished before the 4th Of March next, fer three
fourths of the State Legislatures are not IN
session. and ii is scarcely possible thai extra
sessions of a sufficient number to satisfy the
constitutional requirement. could be convened
and certainly the alternative method OF state
conventions could not be carried out. buo
many and possibly all Of the Legislatures when
now are in session would agree to the amend
ment before adjourning, and the business couiu
be so far advanced that another winter mgnO
complete it.
There is, perhaps, room for debate as TO the
remedy which ought TO be provided though as
our Boston contemporary points out, the inos'
natural and practicable plan would DO tne IN
yestment Of the Electoral Colleges with au-
tbority to reconvene and FIJI the vacancy Ger
tainlv Congress would never think OF propos-
ing that the party which had just elected
it's candidate should be compelled to run the
risk Of another popular election, though the
winning party would probably insist upon hold
ing a nominating convention and debating
choice TO the electors.

General Curtis, chairman Of the Excise Com

pared by himself, which covers much the same
ground as the Commission bill and adopts
number of its features, while describing others,
and differing from il mainly in fixing higher
scale of fees. One feature Of the bill which
will be approved by many temperance be-
levers is that which makes the ices under
each classification absolute instead OF putting
them upon q sliding scale as in the Commission

THE oREHALrER RAYARp.

Secretary Bayard is exceedingly magnani-
nous in his treatment Of poor Bismarck A
day or two ago rumor came from Berlin that
the German Consul at Samoa might be removed
for his iDdiscretion in proclaiming martial law.
The Secretary Of State was at once moved
with compassion. He demanded the resigna-
ton Of Consul-General Sewall- who had taken
lively interest in the fate of the Samoans.
He could not suffer Prince Bismarck TO do any
penance without receiving substantial token
of the generosity Of the State Department..
This, we presume, is charitable method OF
explaining the dismissal OF the American repre-
sentative at Samoa, who has been so unfort-
innate as to excite the resentment and hostility
of the German officials The Secretary's own
account Of the proceeding is unintelligible, but
Of course he did not desire TO lay stress upon
his own chiyalrous motives. He requested the
resignation because the onsul-Generals views
were not in harmony with the Departments
policy. That cannot mean anything, because
Secretary Bayard has never been suspected
either by friend or foe of having anything re-
sernbling a policy in Samoa. Mr.. Sewall in
vanably obeycd instructions, and less than
four months ago was warmly commended by
his superior for his conduct. When the Ger

hence Il cannot be true that the dismissal was
cansed by lack of harmony between the De-
partment and the Consul-Generai. IL was an

Mr. sewall had no choice when he received a
summons to appear before the committee, ana

surely the Secretary would not have wished
his subordinate either to testify falsely or to
refuse to answer questions.
