A Precedent.

The Republicans in the New York Senate
threaten to absent themselves from that
body next Tuesday and thus leave the
Senate without quorum, the Democrats
having only sixteen members, whilst not
fewer than seventeen constitute quorum.
However, there is one Independent"
who may act with the Democrats.
We recall case of this kind that hap
pened in Ohio few years ago. The Ohio
Senate had Republican members enough
TO come within one of quorum. There
upon all the Democratic senators alb
sented themselves-even left Columbus.
and secreted themselves beyond the
reach Of the Sergeant-at-Arms. But,
alas. Lieutenant-G KENNEDY
took the chair the morning after they alb
sented themselves, called the Senate to or
der, went on with the public business, and
did the work which the absent Demo
Gratis had hoped to see left undone as a
consequence of their absence. The jour-
nal was properly kept. Everything was
right SO far "a the record showed; and as
the record impaired absolute verify. and
there was no Democrat present TO raise
the question of quorum, the Republicans
had easy sailing Therefore. If the Ohio
precedent is followed in l,ew York, there
will either be quorum present because
nobody raises tho question of Q quorum.
or else one Republican or Independent
being present to raise that question his
presence will make up the needed number
and insure quorum. q.

other pieces of machinery, some OF them
having been put mp IN September last
This was very valuable, $4,000 being
hardly sufficient to pay tor it. 1t is diff
