NO ACTION YET TAKEN BY THE sENATE-HIs
DELAY CANNOT PREJUUCE HIS CASE.
Washington, Dec 1s QspeciaD-Much unnecessary
anxiety has been shown in certain quarters during the
last few days supposed purpose on the part OF
the Republicans In the Senate 10 declare Governor
Hils seat vacant. The Republican senators are not
worrying themselves over Mr.. HIPS case, and they
have idea that the business OF Congress and OF the
country can go whether Mr. Hill comes to Washing
ton or not. A good deal Of misappreheDson exists
about the nature of the much discussed defect in Mr.
Hills title TO place in the Senate. His credentials
regular in form, and he is entirely eligible to seat
under the clause In the Constitution defining the
qualifications OF members of Congress. The only
question to be determined is whether by retaining the
Governorshp of New York after his duties as Sena-
tor have necessarily begun he has not thereby elected
TO abandon his Office Senator. This is a question
which only experts the law Of elections are quail
fed TO answer, and which will be answered II referred
to the Committee on Privileges and Elections, only
after careful and thorough examination OF the law
and the precedents. But yet II has not even been
decided to nubmit this question to the committee, nor
VIII anything be done in the matter until Governor
HIPS appearance here after the holidays, TO take the
oath of Office. His delay in coming TO Washington
cannot, however, be Of itself counted against him.
Other Senators-elect, Messrs Vance, Stanford and
Jones (of Nevada), have not been sworn in yet, and
their seats are not likely to be contested that
count.
