s plain violation of the law.

U-ckalew's appointment will take ef
ft.ct on the first day of January next

2,000 a year. It is unnecessary to
i:.ke any comments on the peculiar fit
2J3S and qualifications of Mr. Buckalew
.or an able, intelligent and satisfactory
J.3charge of the duties of the position
f.:r which he has been selected. The
Governor could not have improved

It Is now announced by the Auditor
General, as will be seen from the follow
ing circular, dated on last Tuesday,
tbat It was a b'.g mistake on his part to
Include horses and cattle " In the
blanks furnished taxpayers under the
now tax law as proper subjects for Etate
tax, and ke has mailed his circular to
the County Commissioners In each
county directing them to triform the
Assessors that these two items of per
sonal property are not taxable for State
purposes. This new-fanirled law prom
Ides to keep the Assessors busy in try
ing to discharge the duties it imposes
upon tbera. The Auditor General
says :
IlABRisBuma, Deo. 1. "In reply to nu
merous Inquiries I beg to advise yon that the
item of horses and cattle, shown on blank
form R 13, Is not In an v way to be construed
a making such property subject to State
taxation. When I was having the blanks
prepared they were submitted to the offleers
of several eountles for approval and soch
fransestlons as their experience would dic
tate. These officers all agreed In having the
(ram of hores and cattle shown on the
bianks, believing It woeld facilitate tbelr
ioeal assessment. It was In deference to
this wish that the Item was Included on the
blank. Please advice your Assessors that
tne taxpayers are not obliged to make re
tarn of tbera on the blank."
Thb sudden death of the Vice Presi
dent, Thomas A. Hendricks, has caused
a feeling of deep, sincere and universal
regret throughout the whole country.
For almost forty years he had been a
7 .omlnent figure la the politics of his
cwn State and of the Nation first in
his own State as a member of the Leg
islature and of the Constitutional Con
vention, then thrice elected to Congress,
tfterwards appointed Commissioner of
the Land Office, then elected to the U.
6. Senate, a candidate for the Presiden
tial nomination In 1S63 and IS72, and
elected Governor of Indiana In the latter
year, nominated for Vice President
with Tllden in 137G and elected, but
cheated out of his office " . e Electoral
Commission contrivance. 1 last elect
ed Vice President in 1884. Gifted by
nature with a strong and vigorous in
tellect, the firm foundation on which
L? built hits wonderful success as a pub
lic mas was the solid, stern integrity of
his character, for no man ever breathed
a whipper against the absolute purity of
his private or official life. No man of
either party in the country ever wielded
as great an Influence over the politics
of any State In the Union as Mr. Hen
Jricks did In Indiana. There was magic
In his very name and the Democracy of
Indiana who followed him because they
believed In him, marched to victory un
der his invincible banner in many a
fiercely contested battle. While he al
ways enjoyed the unbounded confidence
of his own party he never lost the high
est esteem and respect of his political
opponents. He was an honest, npright
man, a true patriot and an honor to bia
conntry. In the concluding words of
Rev. Dr. Jenckes, who preached the
dead Vice President's funeral sermon
on Tuesday last: "Eminent citizen,
faithful friend. Christian gentleman.
honest man, farewell."
TaRHArs tte most excitiDg local elcc
that erer was held in this country took
place at Atlanta, Georgia, on "Wednes
day of last week. The question to be
decided was prohlbillon or license, and
for weeks previous the white and col
ored people of the city, as well as of
imaginable degree of excitement. The
great effort of the advocates as well as
the opponents of prohibition was to
secure the colored vote, which In the
end was about equally divided on the
question at issue. Each faction in the
contest locked up its colored adherents
In the churches during the night pre
ceding the election, and early the next
morning marched them to the polls
with their tickets In their bands. The
election passed off without any disturb
ance worth mentioning, and resulted In
a majority of 321 In the city against pro
hibition, and In the country districts In
a majority of 549 in its favor, showing a
majority in the whols county In favor of
prohibition, of 228. It Is alleged by the
anti-prohibitionists that under the exist
ing law of the State authorizing elec
tions on the license question in the dif
ferent counties, the election Is Illegal,
and they intend to have the question
decided by the courts. "We believe
there are about j.30 counties in Georgia
and that nearly 100 of the number have
within the last year decided In favor of
local option, now the law has worked
In that 8tate we do not know, but If the
outcome Is In any way differrent there
from what It was in this State when the
experiment was tried some years ago of
banishing whisky by local option leg
islation, then humsn nature and men's
appetites are not the same In Georgia
that they are In Pennsylvania.
Thb Bellefonte Watchman of last
week In referring to the election by the
Oregon Legislature of John nipple
Mitchell to the Senate of the United
States over George II. Williams, says
that "Williams' only redeeming feature
Is tbat he is "the husband of the wife
of the lamented Senator Donglas," and
adds : "How be eveT managed to win
and wear that magnificent woman, Is
past finding out." The Watchman,
usually so correct In Its statements. In
this Instance la "away off the tow path."
The widow of Stephen A. Douglas
did marry a man by the name of Wil
liams, but It was General Robert Wil
liams, who Is an officer In the regnlar
army and Is now on dnty In Idaho, or In
one of the other Territories. Beore Geo.
n. Williams went to Oregon he was a
lawyer in good standing In Iowa, hav
ing gone there from the Interior of the
State of New York. After some time
a very handsome and Intelligent woman
employed him to procure a divorce
from her husband, who was a stage dri
ver, and her application was based on
the ground of cruel and brutal treat
ment on the part of the husband. Wil
liams had no difficulty in procuring the
divorec, and Just as little In marrying
his client, soon after which they went
to Oregon, from which State he was
subsequently elected to the United
States Senate. His wife was regarded
as one of the finest looking, best dress
ed, and in every way dashing women
that had been seen In Washington for
many a day.
Mr. Cletklisd did not attend the
funeral of Vice President Hendricks at
Indianapolis, on Tuesday last, although
at first he had determined to do so and
made public announcement of his pur
port. He was prevailed upon to forego
his intention by the strong personal ap
peals made to him by prominent men of
both parties at Washington, not to
leave the White House at this particu
lar time for the reason that in case he
should be killed In a railroad accident
or In any other way " removed," as
Gulteau styled his assassination of Gar
field, there Is no person legally compe
tent to take his place, since there Is now
neither a President pro tern, of the Sen
ate nor a Speaker of the House, and
cannot be until Congress meets on next
Monday. That Mr. Cleveland ran the
slightest risk in falling by the murder
ous bullet of an assassin Is so Improba
ble as to be worthy of no serious con
sideration, and as the President has al
ways shown himself to be a brave and
fearless man he gave no heed to it. A
railroad casualty Is, however, aaother
and quite different affair, and the possi
bility of It happening bad much to do,
we think, with bis conclusion to remain
at Washington. At all events It was
prudent on his part in the present con
dition of the Senate and House, each
being without an official head, to re
main at the Capital since it was not
necessary that he should make the Jour
ney to Indianapolis. The following
members of the cabinet attended the
funeral: Bayard, Whitney, Lamar,
Endicott and Vilas.
At the late election In this State a
man in Fayette county, by the name of
Pope, was the Republican candidate for
Director of the Poor, and elected bis
Democratic opponent by a majority of
one vote by voting for him Instead of
following the almost universal custom
of candidates voting for themselves.
Mr. Pope has been roundly denounced
by his party friends In Fayette forhav
ing voted as he did, and the Lancaster
Inttlliaencer In briefly diseussing the
question, "Shall a man vote for him
self ?" reaches the conclusion that
when a candidate for publio office is
nominated by a party organization
and votes for himself he votes for his
party, and is not bound by any princi
ple of political or personal propriety to
vote against himself. This is the cor
rect view of the matter and reminds us
of the neat way a candidate for office in
this county once disposed of the same
question. He resided in this place and
was a mar of "infinite jest and most
excellent fancy." Having been regu
larly nominated for a county office and
elected, and the report having got out
that he had voted for himself, he was
asked one day oy a man in the presence
of several persons with the view of con
founding him, whether it was true that
he had dene so, and he promptly an
swered that it was, because, as he said,
" I always vote for the regular ticket."
His reason was so conclusive and pro
duced such a roar of laughter that all
further rtiscnwuon of thA miHtiAn wn
i decided to be out of order.
THE VICE-PRESIDENT DEI P.
He Dies Quietly After a Brier Illne s?, at
Mis Home In Indianapolis.
lNT)iANAPOt.is, Nov. 25. Thomas A.
Hendricks, Vice-President of the Uni
ted States, died very suddenly at his
residence in this city at 4:45 o'clock this
evening, under circumstances that were
particularly distressing to his family
and friends, inasmuch as they had not
anticipated a fatal termination of bis
brief illness and nobody was with bim
when the end came. He returned from
Chicago on Saturday last, and since
then had been complaining somewhat of
a pain in his head and breast, but noth
ing serious was thought of it. Last
night he and Mrs. Hendricks attended
a reception given at the residence of
Hon. John Cooper, Treasurer of State,
returning home in their carriage about
midnight. Hendricks had taken off
heavy underclothing, which he usually
wore, and put on a dress suit of lighter
material, and before he got home he
complained of chillinesss and a certain
degree of exhaustion, but attributed it
to malarial influence. Hs sat by the
Hre an hour or more before retiring, but
declined to send for a physician, though
urged to do bo. He slept restlessly till
about eight o'clock this morning, when
he arose, dressed himself and ate quite
a hearty breakfast, saying that he felt
much better and would attend to con
siderable delayed business during the
day. He and Mrs. Hendricks walked
out for nearly half an hour, and he had
apparently regained his physical vigor
and cheerfulness. An hour later, how
ever, he began to be troubled with pains
in the region of the stomach, and Mrs.
Hendricks sent for the family physi
cian, Dr. W. C. Thompson, the life-long
confidential friend ot the Vice-President.
As the pains In his stomach con
tinned to increase he was given an
emetic and afterward an injection, and
relief came in a natural way. He arose
from the bed where he had lain only a
few minutes, and read the morning pa
per, talking cheerfully with his wife
and old house servant. Just before noon
be had a relapse, however, and the phy
sician was again summoned and admin
istered the usual remedies, besides bleed
ing the patient, and Mr. Hendricks
again expressed himself as being greatly
relieved. He remained in his room all
afternoon, occasionally rising from his
bed, to which he was compelled to re
turn by a recurrence of the pains In his
abdomen. To all callers, and they
were numerous, he sent word that he
was Indisposed, but would be glad to
see them to-morrow afternoon at about
4:30 o'clock. Mrs. Hendricks, who had
been at his bedside all day, went down
to the parlor to see a caller who had
come to consult with ber regarding the
affairs of a reformatory institution of
which sht was one of the managers,
and she remained with him about twen
ty minutes. Tom, a colored servant,
and Harry Morgan Hendricks, a nephew
and page in Washington, remained with
him. Mr. Hendricks tossed uneasily in
his bed and complained of great pain,
but suddenly It seemed to cease and he
said to bis nephew : "I am free at last.
Send for Elita," meaning his wife, and
these were his last words, for the young
man, not realizing the urgency of the
message, did not deliver it at once.
Ju?t berore five o'elock Mrs. Hendricks
came into the room and found her hus
band dead. The end of a long and
eventful life bad come peacefully and
quietly. He lay in bed outside of the
covering, only pirtilly disrobed, as if
he were in a gentle sleep. On bis face
there were no traces of pain or suffer
ing, nut the pallor bad romeover it that
indicated only two plainly that be bad
passed away. It needed no close exam
ination to tell that he was dead, and
Mrs. Hendricks screamed and randowu
stairs. A servant was dispatched to the
residence of Dr. Thompson, adjoining,
acd he came immediately, but by the
tin.e he had reached his bedside the
limbs of the distinguished man were
becoming cold and rigid and to Mrs.
Hendricks' pathetic appeal, "Oh, Doc
tor can't you do something," be was
obiiged to answer, "It is too late."
Mrs. Hendricks became almost dis
tracted with grief,'and it was an hour
or more before she became sufficiently
composed to give any information tbout
her husband's last moments. The fam
ly servants, two of whom have lived
with the family for years, ran about the
house crying and moaning, and there
was the utmost confusion for a time.
When the news was bulletined down
town it was generally discredited, yet
in a yery few minutes a hundred or
more of Mr, Hendricks' close personal
and political friends hurried to the
house. Very soon a great crowd had
collected around the entrance and)on the
street, and it was found necessary to re
fuse admission to any all comers ex
cept immediate relatives. Mr. Hen
dricks died in his private chamber, a
large, comfortable room in which he
did most of his work. Dr. Thompson
says tbat in bis opinion Mr. Hendricks
died of paralysis of the brain, and there
will probably be a post mortem exami
nation to determine wbat the disease
was. For several years Mr. Hendricks
had not been a robust man and was sub
ject to frequent "bad spells." as be cal
led them, during which he would be
piostrated for days at a time. About
two yeajs ago he was confined to hts
room for several weeks by gangrenous
affection of the foot, which at that
time it was feared would result in blood
poisoning, and it was then thought that
the end of his life was near at hand, but
he apparently recovered entirely from
this and was in bis usual health. Hen
dricks had been dead but a few moments
when forces of men began draping the
State, county and city buildings, and
throughout the night similar emblems
were placed on nearly all the prominent
business places and residences, so that
by morning the city will have assumed
a general garb of meurning. All the
city ministers will. In their Thankgiv
lng services to-morrow, make appropri
ate mention of the death of the distin
guished statesman, and Rt Rev. Bishop
Knickerbocker, Bishop of the Episcopal
diocese of Indianapolis, of whieh church
Hendricks was a life-long member, will,

THE rjtrSIlKTIAL MTCESSIOX.
The l ow on the Subject Which Was
Passed In 1732.
By the death of Vice-President Hen
dricks the country is once more solemn
ly admonished of the urgent necessity of
making better provisions for the trans
mission of the Presidential office. One
life only Is a carrier to the temporary
restoration of the Executive office to
the party from which it was taken by
the people at the ballot-box a year ago.
In the event of the death of President
Cleveland during the recess of Congress
the President pro tempore of the Senate
would be his successor, and the whole
executive power of the Government
would be transferred to tte defeated
party until an election could be held.
When President Johnson was impeached
the general understanding was tbat, in
the event of his conviction, Benjamin
F. Wade, of Ohio, President pro tem
pore of the Senate, would succeed him.
The only law on this subject was
passed in 1792, three years after the es
tablishment of the Federal Govern
ment. This law prescribes that in case
of the removal, death, disability or re
signation both of the President and
Vice President, the President of the
Senate pro tempore, and in case there
shall be no President of the Senate then
the Speaker of the House of Representa
tives for the time being, shall act as
President of the United States until a
President shall be elected. Should
there be no President pro tempore of the
Senate, and the vacancies should occur
after the expiration of one Congress
and the assembling of another, there
would be no Speaker of the House, and
no officer would exist to fill the station
of President of the United States. Un
til the people could hold an election the
office of President would be vacant.
But there Is no reason to apprehend
tbat the Government would lapse into
anarchy on tbat account.
By the act of 1792, whenever the offi
ces of President and Vice President
both become vacant it Is provided tbat
the Secretary of State shall cause a no
tification to be made to the Governor of
every State for holding an election for
President and Vice President of the
United States within thirty-four days
preceding the first Wednesday of De
cember next ensuing. But if there
shall not be the space of two months be
tween the date of such notification and
the first Wednesday In December, then
the Electors are to be chosen within
thirty four days preceding the first
Wednesday In December of the next
year. Should the office of President be
come vacant now it could not be filled
by election of the people until the 4th
of March, 1887. But would there be a
vacancy in the Presidential office during
that time? When Congress assembles
would the President jpr tempore chosen
by the Senate or the Speaker of the
House act as President until a Presi
dent elected by the people be installed
in office? On these questions the law is
by no means clear and satisfactory.
The good sense of a people long accus
tomed to self-government may be relied
upon to prevent anarchy or violent dia
orders in administration should a va
cancy occur in the Presidential office.
Yet prudence dictates that the necessa
ry legislation on this subjeet should be
no longer delayed. Before another
session of Congress is ended the ques
tion of a disputed Presidential succes
sion should be put at rest forever.

For fifteen years past George Wolf, a
good-natured agriculturist, has worked a
farm on shares In the town of Schaghtlcoke,

children. About a year ago Augustus Bam
