crv,,p.I wIrEELER's SEAT.

The refusal Of the House to give con-
s,deration on Thursday 10 the report Of
the committee which found that General
Wheeler and three others had vacated
their seats because they had accepted
commissions in the army disposos Of
that matter for the present, at least
There can be no doubt that proper
construction Of the Federal Constitution
required the committee to report as 1t
did as TO the army officers. BY the same
token they should have held that con-
gressmen who have accepted places upon
civil commissions were likewise incapa-
citated. But. perhaps. having regard for
the great number Of Senators and Repre-
sentatives who hold, or have held, such
positions. they came to the conclusion
that such places are not included in the
constitutional prohibition. There are many
congressnen who are of the opinion that
the committees report was grossly
faulty I'm that respect. And. therefore. we
are not surprised 10 hear that number
Of members of the House voted against
consideration on Thursday for the reason
that they could not approve the report
as a whole. We suppose they despaired
OF amending st. and rather than yield an
iota. were willing to leave the whole
question to the next House
Many others voted against consideration
because they could not rid themselves of
the idea that the movement was con-
demnatory Of General Wheeler. There IS
an impression with some that personal
pioue on the part Of Mr.. Bailey against
General Wheeler caused him to inaugu-
rate the movement 10 bring the question
10 a test. The Dispatch has too good an
opinion of Mr. Bailey TO harbor such
thought, hut all the members of the
House have not been so considerate. They
chose TO regard the motion Of Mr.. Bailey
as an attempt 20 place the General In an
embarrassing position And so this House
Will not come to Che point and decide
the question Of eligibility upon It's
merits. Whether anything better may be
expected from the new House, or whether
the question will be raised at all remains
TO be seen.
II appears that the constitutional pro-
vision in question was ignored in some
Instances during the civil war. 1t Is also
4 fact that congressman are always loth
10 abridge any of their privileges. Ana
Al is a further fact that tho Constitution
has not yet recovered from the violent
wrench II received during the civil war;
and is not much regarded by Congress
when IT stands in the way of any desired
end.
II Is but justice to General Wheeler 10
say that since he accepted commission
in the army he has drawn no salary as
a congressman. He has received pay Only
as a Encouragement We suppose his sala'
nv as a congressman still stands to ms
credit: but IF so, we presume ne VII
draw il and turn it into the Treasury
We may rely upon his doing the proper
thing about that. Mistaken though We
think he Is in his view of the constltu
tional question. we have the utmost faith
In him. and he is son whom the Souti
delights TO honor.

SENATOR GRtY'S PRIZE.
The Delaware Statesman 10 He
United states Circuit Judge.

philadelphia Times-3d)
TIE appointment Of United States SEN
ator George Gray. of Delaware, to fill the
newly-created Third Circuit judgeship
Will not be made by the President until
next Saturday. Senator Gray's term In
the Senate ends then. and he cannot be
made a Judge before then by reason or a
clause Of the sixth section of Article l.
Of the Constitution Of the United States
as follows: mo Senator or Representa-
tive shall. during the time for which he
has been elected, be appointed to any
civil office under the authority Of the
United States which shall have been Gre
ated or the emoluments whereof shall
have been increased during such time
Senator Gray, after being appointed TO
the iudgeship. viii therefore FIJI the OIL
fee until next December before he Is con-
frmed by the Senate, there being no
thought that any other action will be
taken. The Third judicial Circuit Of the
United States comprises pennsylvania
New Jersey, and Delaware. Hitherto
there have been but two judges on the
circuit-Marcus W. Acheson, OF nus
burg. and George NJ. Dallas, Of this city.
the Supreme Court of the United States,
has been assigned to this circuit owing
to the constantly increasing number OF
cases. and It IS expected that he Will now
be relieved Of his extra duties.
The expected appointment or senator
Gray is regarded with favor by Repubn-
cans. as well as by members OF his own
party. for II is understood to be- reward
for the services he rendered as one of
the peace commissioners in Paris. lie
accepted that office against the Wlshes
OF his political friends. for they argued
that his absence from the country would
endanger his reelection TO the Senate.
Whether he could have prevented the
partisan opposition to reelection by be
ing here is regarded as doubtful. but at
all events his appointment as a judge Is
looked upon as a tribute 10 his abillty
and patriotism more enduring than those
accorded within party lines.
Senator Gray is n native OF Delaware
having been born in New Castle in 1910.
He was graduated at Princeton when only
10 wears of age. After studying law Tor
a short time with his father and spend
ing year at the Harvard Law school

1879 he was appointed Attorney-General
OF the state of Delaware by Governor
Hall and reappointed in 1884 by Governor
Stockley. He was also delegate TO the
Democratic national conventions at II.
| I,ouis i'm 1876: as Cincinnati. i'm 1850, and
al Chicago in 1854. Upon the appoint
ment of Thomas +. Bayard as Secretary

minstration, he was elected TO the United
States Senate to fill Mr. Bayard's uneX-
pired term, and was reelected in 1897 and
| in 1898.
He has gained reputation in the Senate
and throughout the country as an ear

RIVER NEWS.
Some of the Things Happening
on the Monongahela.

Troubles with Bar ut the Mouth Of
Decker's Creek-Lock 6 Stifl Closed
Work on Dam No. 10 Stopped for
the Winter-Last Concrete Goes in
Wednesday Afternoon.
A barge load of ties stuck on the
bar opposite the mouth OF Decker's
Creek On Wednesday afternoon and
the towboat with 1t had an awful
time trying to get it off. Finally the
effort was abandoned until the river
had raised more when the barge will
float off easily. The bar at the mouth
Of the creek will cause lots of trouble
when the navigation of the upper riv-
er begins.
About ten days more work remains
to be done at Lock No. 6, TO make it
complete and ready for navigation.
This work Is in the masonry portion
of the structure and every effort is be-
ing made to have the work done be-
fore the river gets too high.
However it will be several days be-
fore the water gets over the work I'M
less it begins to rain harder than it is
coming down now.
The last bit Of concreting on dam
No. 10 was done on Wednesday after
noon. The work on the dam proper
is stopped for the year and it will not
be resumed until spring. There is
lots of work to be done on the banks
despite the cessation in the waters
and there is force of men already
started on this part of the work
They have to grade of the bank on
either side and do lot Of paving.
All the work that can be done in
the winter season will be pushed and
when the spring opens there will be
no reason for delay on account OF the
lack of progress that has been made.
Mr.. G. l. Mcdonald is here and is
looking after the interests of the COM
pany which has the contracts.
They leave the section in the center
Of the dam to be finished next year.
This will not be complete until the
dam above here is finished. The rea-
son for this is that they want clear
place to get through add don't want
the water raised on ] | until they have
it done. They can take their fleet
through the center easier than they
can get through the lock and the un.
completed dam will not interfere with
their work on ! ] in the slightest.
All the dredging necessary for the
start on II has been done and the cof-
fer dam is in for the lock itself. It.
will be started the first thing next
year when the weather assumes condi-
tions that will admit of concreting. :.
