A Complicated Question.

me more the question as to whether Col.
H. A. Dupont is a senator from Delaware
is investigated, the more complicated il
appears to be. The abIest lawyers differ
in respect to it. and it promises to occupy
a prominent place in the discussions of the
Senate next winter.
Ex-senator Kellogg Of Louisiana offers a
precedent from the politics of that state
which he thinks settles the matter. 1t
would be about impossible for any
case to arise for which Mr.. KEEL
logg couldn't find precedent for
its settlement in the political his
tory Of the complicated and rotten politics
of Louisiana when that state was in the
grasp of the carpet baggers, but Mr.. KEEL
logg's precedent goes no further than TO
show that the Senate has admitted to a
seat in that body person. claiming to be
a senator, who did not have a certificate Of
his election from the governor of his state.
The question that will be raised against
Mr.. Dupont is not that he has no certih-
cate of his election from the governor of
Delaware, but that he did not receive a
majority OF the votes OF the joint assem-
bly, by which he claims to have been elect
ed. He did receive a majority of the votes
of the joint assembly provided it is admit
ted that Mr. Walton. the speaker of the
Senate of Delaware, and acting governor.
had right to sit in the joint assembly and
participate in the election of a senator
Did he have such right? It is a difficult
matter to say whether he did or not. The
constitution of Delaware is a loosely
drawn document. IT provides that on the
death or resignation of the governor the
speaker of the Senate shall Exercise the
Office of governor" and there is a provis-
ion that when the speaker is exercising the
Office of governor the Senate may elect
speaker pro tenn. There is also a provis-
ion that no person holding any state Office
shall exercise the Office of governor.
The speaker of the Senate at the time of
the election of Mr.. Dupont was exercising
the office of governor Could he under the
constitution of the state also exercise the
duties of a state senator. If he could, then
Mr.. Dupont was not elected senator not
having received a majority of the joint as
sembly, but if he could not, then Mr. Du-
pont was elected. because without his vote
Mr.. Dupont got a majority of the votes of
the joint assembly. The better opinion APP
pears to be that the speaker of the Senate
had no right in the joint assembly, because
he was exercising the Office of governor.
Still, there is ground for contention that
he was at the time a state senator and
tharefore had the right to discharge the
duties of a senator, even though he was
acting governor

a few days ago the dispatches relative
TO the war in Cuba left the impression
that the revolt had been practically crush
Cd out. and that the authority Of Spain
would be restored speedily in all parts OF
the island. The tone OF the dispatches
have changed suddenly. Spain is not now
so confident Of a speedy ending Of the war
as she was. The announcement is made
this morning that large cavalry force
has just been ordered 70 cuba. The time
is close at hand when fresh soldiers from
Spain viii not be able to do very effective
service. The climate Of Cuba will kill
them off faster than the bullets Of the in
surgcnts.
Recent arrivals in Washington from
cuba say that Spain viii have the hardest
kind Of work to put down the revolt II
indeed she can put it down at all. In their
opinion, the real fighting has not yet be,
gun, and will not begin until the workmen
on the sugar plantations have been dis
charged. which Will be about June l. All OF
the plantation workmen are in sympathy
with the insurgents. and viii join them as
soon as they leave the plantations.
The troops that are being sent from
Spain are for the most part mere boys
and they become easy victims of the yell
low fever. They are not very enthusiastic
in the cause Of Spain, and therefore do
not fight like soldiers who are thoroughly
in earnest. The charge is made that the
Spanish troops are thoroughly corrupt and
are in sympathy with the road agents.
who rob everybody they can.
Much of the news that reaches this coun-
try from Cuba is, of course, unreliable.
and the statements Of one day are CON
tradicted the next, but the fact that Spain
is sending fresh troops to cuba all the
time is pretty conclusive evidence that she
is not at all satisfied with her efforts to put
down the revolt. Notwithstanding the odds
against them, the insurgents may finally
succeed in breaking Spains hold upon
Cuba.

next festival held in this city be a mill
tary cne-that it be in the nature Of
prize drill
Since the great fair OK twenty-five years
ago there have been only two really sue
cessful celebrations in this city. namely,
the sesqui-centennial Of the settlement OF
Georgia in 1855 and the centennial Of the
Chatham Artillery in 1856 Both were mill
tary affairs.
II would take, of course, both time and
money % have such prize drill as would
be creditable to Savannah, but as FOR
time. we could fix the date to suit our
own convenience, and the money could
be obtained if we went about getting it
in the right way.
Either October or November would be a
good month for the drill. People want to
come to the city about that time for their
fall purchases, and our business men
could find time to devote to the undertake
ing The raising of money would have
to be begun at once, so that subscriptions
could be paid in small monthly install
ments. Many would contribute on the
installment plan who could not afford
to give a lump sum.
The arrangements would have to be left
largely TO the military. In fact the manage
ment Of the whole affair should be left
in their hands, with committee Of cit
liens not closely connected with the mill
tary to cooperate with them.
In a suggestion of this kind it is not
necessary TO map out programme. fur
Their than to say there should be an en-
campment, prize drills, target contests,
etc, with such prizes as would attract
military companies from a distance. We
believe a prize drill could be made a sue

The postof1ice authorities at Washington
are said to look with a good deal of favor
upon the order of Postmaster Sullivan of
Brooklyn, that the letter carriers shall
greet the postmaster, assistant postmas-
ter and superintendent of carriers with the
military salute. and it is possible that a
general order will be issued making the
rule of universal application in all free
delivery offices. The idea is not so much to
secure discipline as to relieve the carriers
of uncertainty as to what to do. In the
absence Of a rule. as at present. some Of
the carriers ignore their superior officers
and look uncomfortable; others lift their
hats at the risk of dropping some of their
mail, while others try to adopt an Off
hand manner, and say "howdy-do." The
new rule, it is said would put everybody
at ease. besides giving a little more digni-
~ to the superior Offices.

Some northern newspapers appear to be
unnecessarily afraid that the turpentine
producers of the south will denude the
southern forests. They evidently base
their calculations upon the idea that all
trees in the south are pines, and that all
pines will yield turpentine. The fact is
that there are thousand and one other
species of trees besides pine in the south
and that only percentage of the pines
are turpentine trees. The production of
turpentine unquestionably results in the
destruction of a great many trees, but
the number in proportion to the size of the
forest is nothing in comparison with the
number of hemlocks in northern forests
killed by the stripping of the bark for tan
ming purposes.
