fopcCtOt 20 Tue NetOS.
Jackson, Dec. 28.-An interesting lit
tie point has been raised in regard
to administering the oath of office to
Senator James Gordon. involving Ar.
ticle One of Section Three, of the Fed
!eral constitution, the concluding
clause of. which is as follows:
And II vacancies happen by resig.
nation, or otherwise. during a recess
of the Legislature of any state, the ex.
ecutive thereof may make temporary
appointments until the next meeting
of the Legislature, which shall then
fill such vacancies"
In view of the fact that. Congress
and the Mississippi legislature con-
vene on the same day, Tuesday, JAN
uary 4th, it is commended that Col. Cor.
don will not be able to qualify; that
before he can take the oath of office
the next meeting of the legislature"
will have been convened:
The constitutional hair-splitters in
raising this fine point. however, over
looked the fact that there is an hours
