Victoria Retina.
To-day, the English drum-beat
as it circles round the globe, pro
claims the anniversary of the ac
cession of Victoria to the British
thrpne. Forty-five years ago, to
day, the young queen was crowned
at "Westminster, and what an event
ful reign it has been! The Eng
land of 1837 differs from the Eng
land of 18S2 as much as can well
be imagined, and the progress that
nine, lustrums show set forth the
advance that our trans-Atlantio
cousin have made in that period of
peace.
The history of Victoria's reign,
when written, will be a history of
the English people, and here is the
difference between it and all of
the former reign's, the history of
which is but a chronicle of ldngly
intrigue and court faction. The
personal adventures of kings and
nobles, the scandal of court favor
ites and the pomp of court pa
geantry constitute the chiefest
part of English history from Ar
thur to William IV, and 'tis only
when the curtain rises on the
scene where Victoria is the central
figure, that wo see due recognition
of the people.
Elizabeth mounted the throne in
1558, and reigned 45 years; George
III reigned, from 1760 to 1S20,
though his successor was regent
for the last tea years of the old
king's life; so that next, to his
reign Victoria has had tiie longest
term of sovereignty of any Eng
lish monarch. "The flig that
for a thousand years braved the
battle and the breeze,"' has-been ad
v.inceu aurmg nei leign over a
wonderful extent o! ompire, and
vet tin" constitutional, intellectual
and social' advance- of the nation
is the most remarkable of the vic
tories that her proud reign has
wituesscd. The triumphs of peace,
the achievements ot progress glit
ter with pure lay beside tho lurid
setting stars of the old regime, and
such stalwart soldiers of science
as Tyndall, Faraday, Huxley and
Bastian have won greater triumphs
in the mind that meat mental te-
public than ever did Plantaga
net, or in later day Marlborough,
on fields of furious contest.
In the natural order of events
Victoria must soon pass away; she
is sixty -throe, and will in all possi
bility be the last great English
monarch; the coming fruit is blos
soming, and before the cloe of the
century the empire across the sea
will have become in fact and
name,what it is, already virtually
The Republic of England.
The Pniiie at Alcxnnilrla.
A Xew-Yoek special of the 17th
says: Matters are no better.
Alarm is spreading to villages and
all trains from the interior are
crowded. Every ship in tho iiar
Joris crowded. The BritMi ad
miral has chartered special steam
ers sent -for transport. Capt.
Botoheler, of tho American ship
Galena, is assisting all fugitives
of unprotected nationalities. He
has ordered V:'ce Consul Comamis
to advise all Americans to come
on beard .and has chartered the
bark Savona expressly to afford
more accommodations. Judge
Farrhan and'Judgc Barringer and
wife.are offered all needful protec
tion. The American government
should send a special consul
general to Egypt. The consul has
just received an order from tho
sultan to go back to Cairo. His
obedience is. .doubtful. Our Cairo
correspondent wires us that there
is a fearful panic there, which
Arabi is doing all it cau to calm.
Last .night au European .stabbed
an Arab ivory merchant and there
was great excitement, but soldiers
prevented a riot. The American
government should send a "ship to
Ismalia to succor Cairo fugitives.
Matters throughout the country
are most alarming.
Something Definite Seeded.
The discussion during the ill
ness of President Garfield of the
question of presidential inability
showed how loosely the laws had
treated what might easily becomeJ
the vital question of the succession
to the presidency. The same show
ing is made by the question ra;sed
by the deputation by Senator
Davis's absence from the sen
ate of the presidency of that
body to another senator. Sup
pose that the president and Sena
tor Davis should both die. Who
would discharge the duties of the
presidential office until a new elec
tion could be held? The consti
tution is silent upon that point.
Indeed, after the death of the
vice-president, the constitution
leaves tho succession, not indeed
to the office of 'the presidency, but
to the powers and duties of that
office, to be settled by statute.
The statute provides that in t-i-of
"the removal, death or inability
of both the president and vice
president of the United State", the
president of the senate, or, if there
is none, then the speaker of the
house of representatives, for the
time being, shall act as president
until the disability is removed or a
president elected." The words "for
tho time being" aic mere surplus
age. Buttho question which would
arise at this time in case of the
death both of President Arthur
and Senator Davis would be a very
serious question. It would be the
questien: Is there apresidentof the
senate? The president of tin sen
ate after the vice-president lias bo
come president, is an officer elect
ed by the senate, and lie continues
to be president of the senate, un
less lie is.renioved by the senate.
until the term of tiie presidency
expires which the vice-president is
serving, but u lie (Jepules his
powers with the ncquiescenre of
the-senate, and dies while they aic
thus deputed, is not the acquies
cence of the senate to be taken as
the action of the senate, and is not
the person so deputed and so act
ing tho -president of the senate
within the meaning of the statute?
There mast be a limit to the
strain which our system will stand
from disputed elections and dis
puted successions. We have had
a disputed election decided, in
favor of r. minority candidate.
We came last summer very near
having a disputed succession. If
President Garfield had lingered for
a month or two longer disabled, or
if he had recovered bodilv hut
had become mentally disi'oicd,
very grave questions would have
arisen which were left unsolved
by the constitution and laws. If
President Arthur aud Senator
Davis were both to die, and a
Democrat weic speaker ol" the
House, wo should have to confront
a question more dangerous than
that which was answered by the
electoral commission' in 1877. It
is clear that we need a clearer and
more explicit statement than the
laws now supply, both of the
mode of election and of the oider
i.m iiiuuuui ui succession io the
Presidential office. But even
more than these we need to have
taken away the enormous tempta
tion to grasp at the presidency
which is now supplied by the
enormous power and patronage of
that office. It is evident that the
constitution, did not contemplate
the presidency as the headship of a
party, or, as we now call it, tile
control of a machine. Imagine
wliat would be the state of things
if the President were of one paitv,
as was originally contemplated,
and the' Vice President of the
other. This was what was ment
by the founders of the govern
ment, and this was actually effect
ed in the earlier elections. It
seems clear that, so far from ex
pecting the President to bo the head
of the party.jthe framers of thecon
stitutiou meant him to occupy the
position of a constitutional mon
arch. In other wordc, they meant
to take the Presidency "out of
politics. "V It. is questionable
whether we shall not be driven to
attain the same end through more
effective devices than those pro
vided by the constitution have
proved to be.
Gulteau's Condition.
A Washington dispatch ol Fri
day said Guiteau was resting qui
etly on his bed. Recently he had
been indulging in fruit to that ex
tent that he had become peaked.
It had been the desire of the doc
tor that he should pattakc laigcly
of meats that he might become
strengthened physically and theie
by encouraged. The doctor deems
him a great coward who will show
the white feather when the time
comes for his execution. Guiteau
at this time could be entrusted
with a revolver aud will not kill
himself, nor by any method which
costs him pain. If lie could obtain
poison that would carry him off
without suffering, he would take it,
and it was therefore deemed well
to watch the cell he left in the
mottling and tho one he left in tho
ecning, lest through some means
he might secrete something of the
kind, or have some ether unknown
means in his possession to use at
the last hour. His wife, Mrs. Dun
mire, has sent Mrs. Scoville, of
Chicago, authority to sign her
name to the paper asking exten
sion of time for Guiteau. She ac
companied this permission with a
letter full of forgiveness and re
gret at Guiteau's plight.
