But instead of its being a Chemical Fire En gine it is a Chemical Humbug, and will turn out so in the end. We have had perhaps more experience in a fire depart ment than any other man in Goldsboro, and know these Engines to be first class humbugs, suppose that this soda foun tain of a thing was put to work upon such hreas that when Mr. Jno. K. Smith s house was burned, what enect would it have upon the flames in such a fire? A simpleton cau answer this as well as the wisest citizen in our city. Why did not our city fathers put three hundred dollars more to the twenty-two hundred, and purchase a first class fire ongine ?

Like the shock of an electric cur- i-PTif fho intoll iwrio ha ronoTiod our ears that the life of the Chief Executive of the Nation has been attempted.

The first was not wholly dis similar to the last, in the lorrn jr the pistol, in two attempts, failed to fire when President Jackson's life was attempted. In the latter the miscreant succeeds in firing twice, and still leaves hope for the recovery of the object of his spite. But in tervening these two cases iranother, with which the entire universe is acquainted the assassination of Lincoln. . The facts of this case are so fresh that no incident in it re- quires to be brought to remembrance now. Its history is like a birth- day, remembered never to be forget- ten. It Was rumored that Harrison did not die a natural death, and sus picion was long entertained that political enmity wrought his tragic end. The hero of Tippecanoe, at all events, only survived one month of Presidential life. In Jackson s case a lactious po- litical spirit made the attempt upon hi3 life possible, representing as he did one of the great political parties nf his timp In Harrisons case jealousy engendered by his honora- ble achievements, both in Deace and war. bank fid bv nonular sunnort and i " ... rt:'. v -rr , in nis own party mat maue ma cany death possible. With Lincoln, an ATntiitforoil BPfMnnnl mreiiiriiftA r- suiting from a civil war that had de luged the country in the blood of its choicest sons, rendered his chances of life extremely doubtful at best, so that when he was assassina ted, while mny were startled, oth ers expressed but little surprise.

Should the President die, which now seems unlikely and which Heaven fore- fend, and hf any manner the office of the Vice-President become vacant, it is inter esting io know what the law is for filling the vacancies. Article II. of the Constitution is as fol lows : In case of the removal of the Presi dent from office or his death, resignation or inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve upon the Vice-President, and the Congress mav by -law provide for the icase ffiffltSHfcMfflfi? declaring what officer shall then act. as President, and such officer shall act accord ingly until the disability be removed or a President shall be elected." The power of filling vacancies is thus left by the Constitution with Congress. Before the end of Washington's first Ad ministration the necessity for legislation under this provision became apparent In 1792 an act ws Passed- Under Title III., Chapter 1, Section 146 of the United States Revised Statutes we find the terms of tnis important act of Congress In the case ot removal, resignation or inability of both the President and Vice- President of the United States, the Pres iaent ot tne senate, or, it there is none, the Speaker of the House of liepresenta tives, for the time being, shall act as Pres ident until the disability is jemoved or a President elected." Whenever the offices of President and Vice-President both become vacant the Secretary of State shall forthwith cause a notification thereof to be made to the Executive of every State, and shall also cause the same to be published in at least one of the newspapers printed in each State. ' The notification shall specify that ele& tors nf a President and Vice-President of - - - the United States shall be appointed or cn0scn in the several States, as follows: .F rst If there snau be the gDaoe of . two months yet to ensue between the date of such notification and the first Wednes day in December then next ensuing, such notification shall specify that the electors shall be a ppointed or chosen within thirty- four days preceding such first Wednesday in .December. "If there shall not be two months be tween the date ot the notification and the first Wednesday in December then the electors are to be chosen in the correspond ing period of the following year, except when the term lor which the f resident and Vice-President were elected would ex pire in the f0nowin March, in which caSe, of course, no special election would be held The Senate having Jailed to elect a President pro tempore and there being no Id 1 f , , T T O Tl . i " . I., , , . , . . no,, opeaKer or ine xiouse oi xvepreseniaiives, mere is absolutely no provision tor niimg a vacancy should Mr. Arthur die or resign, except by special election. It is seen from the above provisions of the law that an election could not be held under any cir cumstances before thirty-four days prece- ding the time of the annual, meeting of Congress in December, rni, ., uuniMt contempiate such a state of things as the present? or if they did they supposed that Congress would make some provision for meeting it.
