Coupons rendered for Taxes.

Judge Bond of the United States circuit
court has instructed Receiver Chamberlain of
the South Carolina railway to tender coupons
of the South Carolina state bonds, known as
green bonds, for taxes of the South Carolina
railway for the year 1889. The taxes amount
to Sls, 400. The green bonds were declared in
valid by the bond commissioners of the state
IN 1877. The tender of coupons for taxes was
refused by the state fiscal officers and the state
will probably endeavor to enforce its claim for
taxes. An injunction will then be taken out in
the United States circuit court until tho valid
ity or invalidity of the green bonds shall have
been determined by the United States Supreme
Court

TIE UNITED STATES SENATE.
BY SENATOR INGALLS, OF KANSAS.

BY SENATOR INGALLS, OF KANSAS
Copyrighted 1890 by the Author.I
The senate of the United States is COM
posed of two senators from each state.
They are chosen by the legislatures for
the term Of six years. The number Of
states is now torty-two, and when the
senators from Montana are admitted the
whole number of senators will be eighty
four.
At the organization of the body in 1873
its members were divided by lot into
three classes. The seats Of senators Of
the first, second and third classes were
vacated at the end of the second, fourth
and sixth years, respectively, 30 that
one-third might be chosen every second
year. This classification has been pre-
served, and thus, of the present mem
bership, the seats Of tWenty-eight sena-
tors will be vacated in 1891, twenty
eight in 1898 and twenty-eight in 1895,
the term ending at noon on the 4th day
of March. If vacancies occur during
the recess of a legislature OF state by
death, resignation or expulsion, then the
governor appoints for the interval.
Congress has power to make or alter
the regulations for choosing senators,
but can not change the place prescribed
by the state. For many years there was
great irregularity in the choice Of sena-
tors by the legislature, and the intrigues
of party leaders sometimes prevented an
election altogether. The evils became
so fagrant that congress passed an act,
July 25, 1866, to regulate senatorial
elections. Each house Is required to vote
viva voce on the second Tuesday after the
organization of the legislature. On the
next day the two houses are to meet
Jointly. Should it then appear that the
same person has received a majority in
each house, this fact is stated, and he IS
elected. Otherwise the joint meeting
must take at least one viva vOoe vote
each day while the legislature remains IN
session, until some person receives ma
joIity of all the votes, q quorum Of each
house being present. Should a vacancy
occur while the legislature is in session
the sams course OF procedure begins on
the second Tuesday after notice of tns
vacancy is received.
No person can be senator who has not
reached the age Of thirty years and been
