Fremont, Governor of Ari- zona, would resign or be removed on account of lis refusal to stay in the ‘Lerritory and at- tend to the duties of the Executive office. Among those favorably named for the vacnn- ey isthe Hon, J. W.

Inhas been a frequent cause of complaint against Dickens that th deseribing the scenes of social cruelty and oppression, to the ex- sosure of which nearly all hls books ave de- foted, he exaggeratet thom, aud depicted drutes and monsters, of the Squeerg elnss tor dustance, of a type of ‘depravity and ugliness that does not exist in real Hfe, A connmunt- gation to the London ‘fines, however, ex- ‘poses 8 case Which In many respeeis outiloes anything to which Dickens devoted its powerlul pen, and once more proves that truth 1s stranger than fctlon, RD, M. Littler, an English tourist, re- cently In Constantinople, !s the writer, and tells a story of human cruelty almost im- possible to bellove. While In the jatter city his attention was called to a troupe of ale Jeged Bedouln Arabs, who somo thne sinca perforincd Iu London, The members, twen- ty in number, were very young, and were supposed to be genulne Arabs, but the ro- sulta of his Investigations showed that out of the twenty fourteen were not Bedoulns atull, but street Arabs of Londpn, born of English parents, aya sold to a French Arab for terms varying. from ten te fourteen years, at prices yurylng from 80 slitllngs to 50 ghillingseach, ‘Ihe fonn of sule was a stamped deed of apprenticeship, recltlag tlut eavh of these Ittle wretches “of his own Ire will and accord, testified by his execut- ing these presents, doth put iinwself appren- uce,” ete, and on the buck was a receipt ' signed ‘by the Inhuman parents who had this disposed of thelr offspring. Mr, Littler thus desertbos theconditton of theso children, whom ho found, housed: tn one of tho dirtiest quarters of Stunbouls hoy wero haddied togethorin a roum about. fifteen fect square, tue sule furniture vf whieh was a few Loses eontiioing thoir tumbluy deesaun, They wore horribly dirty, barefonted, and clad solely inf pair of baggy ‘Turkish trousers ‘and an old titthy mau's shirt. ‘There wna no wasbing-ptaco ih or noar the room, Thore was ho bed, and thoy told ine thoy woru fed from a large round Uinepot with some stew orakilly, the sulld parts of which they tore with thor Hands, while the Hautd part they drank from panunikins, ‘They never tusted ten, coffee, or other drint than water, and tind no food other that smusting mixture and bread. : Thos were never allowed to dreas decently save to perform, nor were they ever allowel to quit tha house save fur the snino purpose. They had no toys, games, oF aniusements, Nor were they uffowed any othor pastime but practicing tholr nerobutic performances. All hind tholy heada and many their bottles cay= ered with aciurs, partly the result of thoir owner's brutality, purtly of wounds from falls eanead in tearing thotr miserable trade, Fow of thom contd spenk Bugtish, Some could apenk Freneh ond somo nothing but Arable, They have nevor beon Inn pines of worship in their lives. They are fgnorant of tho very name of God, and not one of thom cnn read or write 5 Iino of nny lanyungo tinder tho sun, Trivve to say that sanyo tho Arabs allnre, ast have anid, of London parentare. No other Christian noe tidn seems to have produced any such degraded Parents to the band of HadJall bon Mobamined. Mr. Littler asked them if they would like to go back to England, and all eagerly an- swered In the afirmative, but the next day when he visited them they were as unanl- mous In the negative. Jifs suspletons being aroused, he questioned one of the youngest and found that their Inhuman taskmnster had cruelly beaten them for expressing the .desire to go home, Mr. Littler at onee laid the matter befure the English Consul, who In turn laid {t before Earl Granville, Secre- tary of Stato fur Foreign Affairs, who promptly directed the Consul to set free the fourteen English children in the troupe, which he did. Mr. Littler is clearly justiled in his indignant comment; “ We have heard an goud deal of tho * unspeakable ‘Lurk!; we are constantly urging on hii the abolition of slavery and protecting slaves thore and eixe- whero abroad; and Lnsk atl, but especially those who are most active in that work, to ald In repalring the consequences of Britisii parental erimes for which a Turk would blush.” “It ig a pity that Charles Dickens with his blg heart and fierco pen Is not alive to rush to the reseus of those little Arabs ot the London streets as elnquently and elfect- ively as he pleaded the causo of poor Joe of Tou-nil-Aloues, THE EESSIDEN EAT “INABILITY” QUES- Among tho subfects to which the Prest- dunt in dis Inte message to Congress sug- gested the encly attention of that body was the meaning of “Inability, specified by the Constitution as one of the conditions under whieh the Vice-President shall succeed to the oflice of Chief Magistrate.. ‘The long-con- tinued ness of the lato President Garfield and his practical incapacity tu discharge tho dutles of his office during the two months preceding his death gave this subject an lm- portance which {t had never assumed at any previous tine in tho history of the Gavern- ment. President Arthur addressed Congress on the matter as follows: 1 fs provided by tho second articlo of the Con- stitution, iu the fifth clause of Its frst section, that jn ease of tho removal of tho President from ollie, or of his death, resignation, or, ina- Ditity to discharge tho powers aud dutles of wali ottice, tha sumo aball devolve on tha Viee-Presi- deut. Whut is the intention of tho Constitu- ton fn its speo!fention? ‘Inability to dischurge the powers and duttes of sutd oltico” i goe of tho contingencies which vatl tho Vico-APres|- dent to the exereise of Presidential func- tiona, Is the inability confined in its nature to Jong-continucd Inteliectunt fucnpucity, or has lt a broader Muport? What must be its extent and duration? How mist tts existence bu wstnb> lished? Hus tho President, whose innbllity ia tho subject of Inquiry, any Volue (1 dotermitlg whether or not it uxista? Orin the steelsion of that momentous aud delteate question contided to the VieosPresident, or ia it contemplated by the Constitution that Congress should provide by law precisely what should constitute tmubil- iy, and how and by what tribuonl or wuthority itshould be asecrtalued? If the Inability proves to be temporary tn ita nature, and during its continnance the Vice-President lewfatly exere elses tho functions of the tenure docs he hotd hls offi ug President for to remainder of tho fours yenrs’ term, or would tho elveted President, If hisinability should cease I tuo interval,’ bo empowered to resumne hls oflce? Aud if, having auch lawtul authority, he should exercise it, would the Vice-President be thereipon om- powered Lu resume his powers and duties ns such? The above extract trom the message isa very faly presentinent of the doubts and dlf- ficulties whieh attend any attempt at settling tho question, but It suggests no renivdy. ‘That is a matter for Congress to determina, Jtinay be, or It may not be, that Senator Garland intended that the DIL witich he hus proposed should be of service In solving the problem, but itis certain that the adoption of ils bill would leave the wiole question as complicated ns before. Senator Garland’s bill is us follows: Be it enacted, cle. That See, 140, Hevised Statutes, is hereby repent BEC. | 1 case of the removal, denth, resiznas tlon, or Inability of poth the President and Vicu- President of the United States, the Sueretury of Btute for tho time buiny, or, If there be au Sec- retary of Btate, thon the Sucretary of tho ‘rows. ury fur the tino being, or, If there be nulther Secretary ot Stute nor Seoretary of tho ‘Treas ese thon the Keeretury of Wie for tho time being sbull uct us President until. the diwabllity be removed or the President bu olected ‘In tha manner and nt tho tae provided In the Constl lution and tho twa; or, in case thore be no oe cusion uider the iw Toran election, until the existiny term of oles of the President so re- moved, resigned, dend, or disabled aball bayo expired, ‘The section of the Revised Statutes which itis proposed to repent by the above bill pro- vides that In the ense of removal, death, res- ignation, or finbility of both tho President and Vice-President, “the President of the Senate, or, if there fs none, then the Spenker of the House of Representatives for the time belng, sinllact ay President until the dls- ability is removed or a President elneted.” Senator Garland’s bill, therefore, merely pro- poses to substitute tho Secratary of State, or Secretary‘ot the ‘Treasury, or Secretary of War, in the order named, for tle Presftenit of tho Sennte or the Speaker of the House os successor to the Presidential office Ina cere tnin contingency, There dogs not seem to bo any specint demand for the proposed change, Af It be Sunator Garlqnd’s purpose to guard against na contingency In which no person should bo authorized by Inw to act as Prest- dent Qvhich would have been the ease had Vice-Vresidtent Arthur died about the same fluo ns President Gariteld, and before a President of the Senate or 9 Speakor of tho Mouse had been elected), then it would obyl- ously be wiser to add the Secretary of State, Seeretary of the ‘Treasury, anu Secretary of Warto the Hneof succession rathor than aub- Alitute them for the gfleers now named by the statute, It is Just as possible that the Cabl- netollces named should be vacant qs that the positions of the President of the Senate and Speaker of the Nous should be unocen> pled. ‘The line of succession might be ine orgased Lo advantage by the addition of three Cabinet officers,’ beeduse ‘such ‘a proviston would render still more remote «the -contin- Rency of an absolute yacnnoy in tie Execu- tive uftice, . But, in any case,’ Senator Garland’s bill falls to mect the dillculty susgpsted by the Jute President's long prostration und polnted out in President Arthur's message, ‘Tho questions to be decided ares What ty consti tutional Inability? “Who shalt determine when such Inability oxtsts? What rule shalt govern the recovery of ‘the Presidentini of- feu by the porson elected {¢.the inability shall terminate during As Hfe? Removal, death, and resignution are events about which there can bo no dispute, and fn the case of elther of thesa It is clear thu the Vice President succeeds to the oflice of Fresident; but it ts not clear whut is meant by “Ine toi, of the ability,” nor when the Viec-Prestdont shail act as Presidont, if atall, when tho-olectad Prealdent lias not beat removed, Is not dent, aud has not resigned, nov yet how long the Vice-President stall hold the office tin such anevont. Thisis the question which Cori- aress should consider as much more tmpor- tant than the line ot snecesston In case of the death or removal of both tho Prestdent and the Vice-President—a contingenvy which ts already reasonably provided’ for by tho statute, 3 There Is some danger of atlompts nt Mox!- canizntion in lodging La any person or por sons authority to deckle that the resident suffers from constitutional “Inability,” and to call tho Vice-President to the oftice, Cer- tainly the Vice-President ought not to havo any discretion In determining such aconditions tor that privitege would ben constant templa” tlon to htin and his friends to suck st pretext for declaring “inability.? At the same time, it Is not safo to leave tho matter fur Congress to determing whenever an, omergency may arise, In such caso Congress nay not be in session when Executive “ {nability sets In, Who shall call Congress together In such case? If the President, then that very act would bean argumont against the alleged “Sndbility2? If Congress were in‘ session, who would sign 8 bill declaring the “Inabtl- ity"? If tho President should sign such a bill tt would be partial evidence of his com- petency to actns President, and If he would uot or could not sign it, what measures: should then be token to establish * Inablli- ty’? And hiiaily, if such fnabliity, whethor physteal or mental, wera, transiont {nits character, how would the President proceed to regain his office, In ease of the Viee-Prest- dent's unwillingness to surrendér it, after tho-inabllity hind disappeared ? ‘these ara the questions to which Congress should frame some satisfactory and perma- nent answer in the shape of a law that shall save the Governinent from futuro enibarrass- ment. Itmay be that 1¢ would be safe to authorize a majority of the President's Cabl- net to petition the Chivf Justice to institute an inquiry into the President's condition at any time of alleged “inability,” and to re- quire tho Supreme Court In such ease to imake an examination, take evidence, and de- clare the President to. be suffering from the “Inability? contemplated by the Constitution In case the facts warranted such # decision: aml, further, to require a restitution of the oltice by order of the Supreme Court when It should ascertain, upon;petition and exam{ua- tlon, that the “inability” had been removed. Atallevents, sucha scheme Is worthy of consideration or discussion, We believe, however, that an essential part of this or any other. project for reforming the law of the Presidential succession is to fix a limit of the Vice-President’s tenure of tho Presidential ofilee, and require o new election of Prusi- dent for any period of’ vacancy exceeding that limit; such a condition would be n per- manent check upon Intrigue, and fraud, and assasination In the interest of n Vjcc-Presl- dent, THE SUPREME COURT AND THE TARIFF. Inanarticls in the December number’ of tho North American Review on “ Reform in Federal Taxation,” Mr. David A. Wells says: How grim was the satire, and yet bow keen ‘wos the truth, embodied in the mst yeur's juke of a comio paper which put into tho mouth of the gitllunt Democratic candidate for the Pres|- envy, after the publicauun of is letter of nce ceptinee, the following answer to an interview- erontho subjeot, “Turit!. Who fa be?" and how well the purty put themsclves in align- iment with thuir enndidute on this subject, when, in ignorance of the mutorial in thelr ummuni+ Hon-boxes and of n decision by tho United Btutes Supreme Court (a Wallac, p. ii) that taratlon for any other purpose than public revee nite exchuxtvely ie tnconastitutlonal ani incunaist ent with the principles of a free Government, thoy turned thelr bnoke on tholr old-time principics and beenine frightened at tho shadow of thelr own platform, Acorrespondent asks: “What Is the de- cision reforred to by Mr. Wells?” It ig the decislon in the well-known case of The Loan Assoclution of Cleveland vs, The City of Topeka. ‘This was 9 sult brought wo cumpul the payment of interest on €100,000 In bonds Issined by the City of ‘Topeka, Kus, “as n donation tu encourage the King Wrought-Iron Manufacturing and’ Iron Works Company, of ‘Topeka, in its design of estrblishing 9s manufactory: of Iron bridges In that city.” The United States Circult Court for Kansas held that the bonds were Invalid as not having been tssued for “a public purpose.” ‘The Supreme Court of the Untted States afirmed the deelsion ‘of the court below. Justice Miller delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court, Some of the propositions laid down by hin weres 1, Thore Is no guch thing fu the theory of our Govermnents, Stute oe National, os unltimited power in any of thelr branches.

In deciding this case it sluply realliraicd the oplplon previ- ously delivered by 1 In the Commoreial Bauk ys, the Clty of Jola, Kas, (Dillon 2, $02), whore tho following Inngtiage was used: Tho question under disuussion must bo de- termined upon sunie principle, and 1 botd: jt to. bu sound dovtring thal tha mere inoidental bunelita to the putilo or the State whieh resale from the yout by Individuals of ordinary branches of buatuess or industry: da not cunslis tute a public use in a sense which justltivs the exercide of vither the power of vuiluuns demula or of tuxutign, There seems to be no doubdt-but that the Supreme Court of the United States If a case Involving the issue directly should como be fore It would reaitiem the opinion of Judge Dillon In its broadest apptication, It hns gone Just as far in denylng tho constitution- ality, of protective taxes ng It réasonably could on the fuets presented to it, Yet one of the professtonal tarlit cranks tn the late Chicago convention hat tue jmpuilenee to Assert: aud wrote au essay to prove that “a tarlif for yovenue was unconstitutional” We publish thls morning another bateh of deelslons of the Irish Land Court In re- duchy and fixing judicial rents, and also the commnenta, or rthor the Tory howls, theroon, ‘Tho Land Courts go atriding forward In the work of untoing the moralless rack-ronls Imposed by the landoeracy, and of placing tha future tenurg on the priuelpte of live and let live, In every Instance where tho tenants hiave mado improvemunts which tha Innd- lords had confseatdil the court rostoros suet Improvements to them, and throws olf the rents which tho Inndlords had imposed on these fmprovements.”” Notwithstanding all the opposition and predictions of fatlure tho Lanit bill will provy to by a great act of paelf- featlon—the greatest. that ever was passed sine Henry U1 Ganural Stronzbow, In- vated the island 7) years ago, Up ta this tine the Land Courts have operated only in Connaught and Ulster and around Limericks Dut wo observe that five now sub-courts havo Just beun established, whieh will evrry the rellef work into the other provinces of Tree land. ‘There will now be ten sub-courta at work, and they will beable tu dispose of about 000 cases n week, After a fow thousand ten- ures are fixed by the courts tho landlords and tenants will compromise most of their ditferences and agree on tho future rentals, NEW MEXICO AND, ARIZONA: . Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, has introduced abill “to ennbis the people of New Mexico to form a Constitution and State Govern- ment, and for its admission as a Stato into the Union.” ‘Thera are several reasons why New Mexico as at present’ organized should not be admitted into the Union, It has not sufictent population, According to the Inst census thore were but 119,505 persons in the Territory, Including 10,000 Indians and half- breeds, ‘Ihe rate of growth is slow.
