Paw I'aw, MinHMatr, Dec. I, 1875,
Hiuce the death of Vie President Wilton the
daily (tapers hare been carrying on an active
diactuMou an to who succeed to that office.
By some it in maintained that Benator Kerry
ot Hurt Htate, the preaent President of the
Henatofwo t has become, by virtue of
hirt office, ice President of tho Luted States
fur the remainder of Mr. Wilson's term.
Othortt nriiutain that by the death of Mr. Wii
aeai Mr Terry becomes Vice President for the
tmio bwmg, aud to continue, as such, umil the
UiaUxl Ktatos Senate shall elect another Preei-j
tout pro f.-r ipon when Mr. Kerry will coase to
i ioo actiuc Nice President, aud the now ly ;
otocted ou? wili supercede him aa Vice Presi
dent of the I u.ted (States.
IVth of theao views are maintained by their
.lvocHtes with a good deal of pertinacity, and
iui;uiouh arguments. Cases are cited by tho-e
BMiBUnafa lbs position that Mr. Ferry wflj
hold to Hit end of the term for which Mr. Wit
hou was elected, which, to u.--, do not seem to
b9 exactly parallel to the present circumstan
ces, inaeniuch as they are the caBes in .vhich
IM Vico 1'iesident elect succeeded to the l'res
idoiav. as iii tl . oajt of John Tyler and An-
drew JolniKoi.

Sj of the luted States, in
6. aunply prescribes thai in
aass di a va
v in both of the offices of
President and kM President, that ' Congress
may bylaw . . . provide what officer shall
than act as Preei lent ." Bv the Keviaod Stat
utoM of the United States, Chapter!, Section
000 haadrtd and Unif all, it will be seen that
OouuroMH has made the following provision :
'" III tlH Of I St Ofil. death, resignation Of
UMiiility of Lot i the i'reident aud Vico Presi
i i ot the I nited Stiitew. the Prestdont of
1 io Bsnatl Ol if there is none, them tie Speak
STOf Mm li lUSS of Representatives, for tho
time being, s'.iui! ad aa President until tho dis
ability ih removed or a President elected."
It will be Heen that this enactment docs not
fully provi lo for the present contingency. It
loavos nrieh to he inferred. If applicable, at
all, it would seem to favor the idea in the se
cond proposition at the commencement of this
aiticto, -that is, Vice President for the time
being and until tho Senate shall elect a succea-
soi i ii language ot tne enactment is, "ior
the time being." If the Senate shall proceed i
...,.. . , '
to tho election of a President pro ierupcrr, on i
its ro-AHHcmbliug, it would seem that Mr. Fer
ry would be superceded, and bia functions as
Vice President cease, to bo assumed by the
uewty olected person.
'The ludetinitnoe of the law touching the
matter of sucression in the present case leavos
so much to be inferred, and aa Congress is
governed by no well defined legal principles or
'rules, but by a iaw of its own, dependent on a
YniioLy of circumstance'', that body may adopt
either of the views above stated, without doii.g
violouce to fcb ' Constitution or the Knactment
of Con;' ptoted.
The neaieni approach to anvthing like prn
cedent. in the manner in wlueh the Seuato may
inako ai d nnmaKo Pri sidcuts Df IswtpOfV. It
is the custom of th.V body to elect a President
7ro amcpore at tho beginning of each ongiess,
aam'MM parson to alaotad serves through tho
StaaSMl and by kfea BMM cusUnn the practice
tan jirnviiled o'' I'ltiiiiuug him through the
toiiu t i wb !) !).! had been elected a member 1
Ol that body v. e' there appears to be no rule
thai rannlraa :t lne Seiiato moreover i- a
pei maiif ii' hod' and can elect its oiiccrs
win-never I choosaa. It is oniy necessary for u
top MM a Nsolntloa M-.at on a certain day it will
pffjOMd lo tba alsction of a President pro U Sk
vorns or auy ottasr of its officers for that niat
SW, aaslM tba lay le- ,nated elect some other
paavoai fo tba plaoa, would not the former olii -oart
suparoaded, and a i the functions exer-
Blnihfbiai itiach to tna htter the moment ,
bo was alectod and quaunad ? In thaabosnoe
of constitutional or other provision to tho con
tiaiy, it would aOOM that iu such event the
present a t.:ng Vice President would not con
tinue to t'ne ud of the term for which Mr.
Wilson wa- ilcetod, but only to the time when
Uw Senate alia'l elect a new President pro tem
jntrr. This view or the case may or may not '
bo the correct one. as wo have not tho means
at IibikI for obtaining as full information touch- i
ing tins matter as one wonld wiah, but from !
oiu )reent knowledge it seems to be the prop- i
or view. In tho examples referred to, the
death of tlie President, whose term of office
waeco-oxtonsive with that of the Chief magis-
trato, in the line of succession, and, by consti-
tutional provision, at the head of tho Govern-
niwK lor the remainder of the unexpired term.
In the case under consideration, the Senator
who may happen to bold the office of I'resi-
defit of the Senate pro tempore, may cease to
bo a member of that body long before tho ex-
pirationof the presidential term. In such an
ovont would it be competent for bim to hold
over ? Does the law contemplate such holding
ovoi beyond tho term for which he wsh orig
inally olected a member of that body ?
Jf Oongreo bad failed to olect a President
prn Irmporv previous to its adjournment, it
would seem. D implication, that the Speaker
of the Houo of Representatives would be
come successor to the Vice Presidential va
cancy. The prov ision of the law is, that wnen
tlioro is a vacancy in both the Presidential and
Vic Preside....,! office-, then the Speaker of
uia "uiioo aiiitii uwtuiuo inn acung rrcsiuent
or the Lmteu Matea. e china- it will not be
wiini Ih be vot an open question as to who will
te Vice President up to tne end of tbe term.
In (he Tki k NoKTUEnxrit of last week was
published an item giving the expense of the
aeroud Matleon trial, which took place m t.
Joseph county, in which it was stated that the
Board of Supervisors had allowed B. F. Heok
ort 6C04 20. Thi item places Mr. Heckcrt in
too position of a recipient of that amount at
tho bands of the couuty, whereas tbe facts ap
pear to brt about as follows i At a seasion of
the Roa.d of Supervisors previous to the trial
of lhat case the sum of M was placod in the
hand-of Mr. Herkert to piv current ex;
durin,: It trial. This he disbursed, ai.d also
pjd out oi,n budraal and four dollars M 1
twenty cents of Ins own momey besides. I Io
reported his expendi'uros to the Hoard, and
th.it body adopted his report and reimbursed
him tho sum advatx- d from his own tntuU.
Thore wa auother item in said s-atement
that does not ear the teat of acnitiuv. aud on
"T 1 1 r i, k 1 1 , K " L - ' ol a most interesting people, but one
denl, could lawfully hold beyond tbe term for -.- - . , F ,

bodv. Adopting the forogoin. view. ,t wol T the h? 8nM' Md The ot
..JsnoH th.l Vw. . r.
iU face appears to carry avideoea of sharp
practice. It is the it em stating that Hitch eoc k ,
stsoogrepher, was allowed and received five
linndrod and sevanty-two dollars for services
in reporting the trial, Mr- Uiteheoek is ths
official stenographer, or reporter, of ibis circuit,
and aa aucu receives the comfortable Uttle salary
of two tbonaand dollars a year, out of the treas
uries of Van Buren and Kalamasoo countiea.
It waa his duty to report this trial, and without
additional compensation, further than might be
neceeearv to employ a little assistance in tran
scribing bis notes in long-hand for the use of
the court aad parties.
Except iu the Matteson case, his official
duties in tbts county have been quite light for
three or four years past, and have been mostly
performed by proxy. The law under which he
i0fa his position requires him to file a copy of
)11B nnuutei in the Clerk's office on reiuest of
either of the parties. This, we believe, is very
rareh done. He has made a practice, when a
naM to an action wished to see the minutes
for any purpose, of furnishing him with a copy
aud charging for it, by which device he has
probably nearly doubled his very liberal salary.
The salary is, for the mort part, paid out of the
people's money, rained by tax, and the foes
charged for copies aro paid by one of the partie
to the au:t. In every contested case the Clerk
collocts a " reporter's fee" of three dollars.
It would seem that litigants as well as the peo
ple, aro pretty thoroughly taxed for the benefit
of this officer of modern creation.
The people are becoming very restive under
the enormous burdens of taxation and the slip
shod manner ;n which our courts have been
rim for some time nast. Thev require more
doapatot) and efficiency, and a less graapiug dis-
pomtiou on the part of their well salaried eerv.

lu l ant week's Courier we tind the following i
In looking over the matter of county print
ing, which has been brought prominently to our
uoiu a by Iba recent bidding we find an item of
general interest. For the two preceding years
wo find the following aggregates to have been
paid by Van Buren for printing, aloue:
1873. By MatthowB k Landpliere 42..V-'
by S. T. Conway Mt.30
Total K5S
1874. liv Matthews A l.andphere . . . . ?llu.G7
by S. T. Conway IH86
Total t631.
Theae figures wero obtained from the pro
ceedings of the Hoard of Supervisors which
bear on these years, and are all the charges for
printing to be found, with the exception or two
items of publication, one by O. D. Hadsell and
nn Iw Wm, K. Stewart, which amounts to fl j.
When the editor of that aheet penned that
article he well knew that be was making a state
ment which waa untrue. The falsehood con
tained therein was deliberately perpetrated for
the express purpose of conveying a false im
pression.
The writer had before him the mesne of stat
ing tho matter correctly, bnt the tbcth did wot
suit bis purpose. Nothing short of falbittiho
the record would accomplish the object he had
in view.
On page throe, of the proceedings of tho
October session of 174, may be found the
record of the allowaueo to S. T. Conway, for
printing, the sum of two hundred and ono dcl
iat: a.o i t went -live routs : and on page tel
the proceedings of the January BeBsii in, I
mi I a found the allowance to the Haino person
of one hundred aud twenty-four dollars and
fifty cents, for printiug. These two sums were
the allowances to him for printing during the
year lsTt. and, added together, make the sum
total o; throo hundred and twenty-live dollars
and soventv-five cent, and not the sum of Ave
hundred and twenty-one dollars and thirty-tivo
cants, as stated bj the Couriei. The figures
given bf that sheet are too large by one hun
dred and mnety-tive dollars and sixty cents, as
.-shown by the sources to which the writer re
ferred. The editor says that tbeae "are all the charges
for printing to bo found." Let us see. in the
snuo page: of the samo proceedings lor the
October sessiou of tho year 1874 may be found
the record of tlio allowance of Ihling BfO'a,
claim, the amount being three hundred and
twenty-one dollais and nftv-five cents, a part
of which was for printing. Here again we find
an attempt to mislead the reader by a second
deliberate falsifying of the record. Put then,
it is to be expected, coining from the source it :
does. Tho writer of that article is either a ,
consummate and stupid ass, or else a wilful
and malignant falnifyer.
