rilje Atlanta (Ga.) Confederacy' comments-as
.follows upon- Bragg's appointment to the su
'preme command of the Rebel armies.
. The remarks of the Richmond Enquirer
upon the question of Gen. Bragg's appoint
ment to a high place in the general Depart.;
ment of War, are very just. ' Mr. Davis could
not devise anymeasure which is so largely cal
culated
to weaken his own position in the
public confidence, and derange the status of
military affairs and opinions, than by creating
General 'Bragg the practical commander of
our armies. In the west such an appointment
is almost; fatal. Aside from affiliating the
President directly with all the unfortunate
diriterbandes" which divided the Army of Ten
nesse() so long as Gen. Bragg remained with
It, the event perpetuates them and enlarges.
their sphere.
It will occasion in the public mind, and in
the minds of the soldiers of the South, a
deeper distrust in the directory at Richmond
than' has hitherto existed. It will array a
large and •"pbweirful class of officers against
the, central bureau. " It will give rise not only
to criticisms -the -most--emphatic, to diseon
t!intslthe Most civell-giouhded, disappoint
ments the most poignant, but may, in time,
force into life a - spedies of combination for the
sake of self-Preservittion,, which:we had hoped
would never be.seen in the Southern camp.

The SPEAKER continued : FELLOW SENATORS:
At the last session; bythe partiality of the Sen.:
ate; I was elected te,fill tha chair of the-Speak
er. Slate that, time I have endeavored to dis
charge its duties with a conscientious regard to
the oath that T took when I assumed the office.
If Thema failed in that endeavor, it has not
been a failure resulting from any intention to
wrest from any member on the floor a single
privilege to which he is by •right - Entitled. I

beroef which I have to complain. Atil have
thuafer eat &silent listener to the discussions
regarding organization, it is perhaps proper that
I should define at this time Abe - exact position
that I have occupied during the present sessicn.
I came here as the , Speaker of the body, duly
eltcted and duly qualified; I called the Senate
to order, according tothe custom and practice
cf the Senate always. I . believed it to be any
duty to act* as the'Speaker of the Senate in its
organization; I believed it to be my duty when
the Senate was organized to continue to act as
its Speaker until my successor was elected. I
adoptylthat opinion of my duty under the ob
ligations of my oath without consultation with
any ono, and I may say, In justification of my
self, thati that opinion was not taken upon im
pulse*, or upon any party viewof the circum
stanc.s under which the Senate was about to
meet. I have had no new views upon that
question. I have always believed that, under .
the Constitution, the Senate was a permanent
organization, made so by the Constitution, and
necessarily s for the permanency and perpe
tuity of the- Government. When I took the
oath of office, I assu med its responsibilities.
Among those responsibilities was the contin
gent one of filling the Executive chair, in the
case, of a vacancy there.
Coming into the Senate at the commence—
ment cf this session, clothed by you with the
authority to act as its Speaker, sworn to at
' charge those duties that the Constitution de
volved upon me, I came here with the cleireit
conviction, which has not been unsettled by
anythieg that has transpired during the ses
sion, and cannot be unsettled, that it was my
duty to preside until the Senate by its choice
elected come one to take my place. I believe
that without that construction of the Constitu
• lion, the provision that makes the Senate a
permanent bady, with two-thirds of its memb
ers always in office and qualified to act, would be
but a farce, and that the mereamident that h#s
occurred this session, for a time depriving one
district of its representation and the consequent
failure to choose a Speaker, might leave the
State completely disorganized, without a Gov
ernor, without a Senate, and without authority
anywhere to fill any vacancy that might
occur.
Permit me to review the position of effiirs at
the commencement of the present session. The
national Government was still engaged in the
fearful struggle wittrdtizeim and States that lAA
drifted into rebellion, upon• the false idea that
the Government had no . power to protect and
preserve itself from.dissolntiou. It was calling
upon and demanding the Steady, firm and en
ergetic support of the Government of every
loyal State, and of every patriotic citizen. This
„great Commonwealth had just posed through
a heated political contest, resulting in the
choice of a chief Executive officer, abundantly
pledged to an untiring support of the Govern
ment and the war. With a majority in both
branches of thlytegislature, holding...the same
political views, the fortunes of war had placed
the gallant and patriotic Senator friiin Indiana
(Major Virrs) in the hands of the -enemy, a
pnsonerof war, depriving.the people of his die-
Viet of their_ representatlie, and, the people
of the State of the power to carry out
their expressed will In the Senate. The
:Constitution rfunired the returns of 'the Wee
tions to Le opened and published.by the Speaker
of the Senate . ' the Governor was to be inaugu
rated, and all the machinery of legislation . to be
put in-motion.
trader these circumstances, and with the
clearest conviction of my duty, I came to the
filenate without anticipating the slightest differ
ence of opinion among -Senators upon . that,
question. - I knew, however, that political par•
-
ties weie.. evenly balanced in the Senate, and I
did anticipate a contest in the election of
Speaker, which might be protracted, unless
the expressed will of a . majority :of the peo
ple was diaxegarded; and l would , hir - va con
sidered it a plain disregard of diity,, if I - bad
left the office iiiiiii+diitifigiitininicooptest, at
such a time.

ed In the Local Column, or
Emu- Caltrortorlioor for
Always acknowledging the right of the Ber
ate. to choose its presiding omoir at the com
mencement of the scsaion, if it shall so deter
mine, and alwass ready ms` cheerfully - to 3 ield
my place to any suceers)r that might be so
chosen, I assumed the responsibility of re
taining my position in the chair, and dis
charging its duties, and I am perfectly willing
now to bear the responsibility of my acts.
lam perfectly willing to sdaiit that iu so doing
I violated a precedent which had prevailed for
years in the Senate; in this respxt, that I did
not Atli out of the Chair when the motion was
made to proceed to the lection of a Speaker.
I remained In the Chair and put the motion
myself, when the practi a bad been for th?
Speaker to retire from the Chair and allow the
Clerk to put the motion. My own view of that
practice is that it was never anything more
than an act of false delicacy on the part of the
Breaker to avoid putting a question in which
ha was generally interested, and that he could
have resumed. the Chair at any time upon a
failure to elect, and continue to discheree all the
&Wei of Speaker—and I have simply to saythat
I-disregarded the practice, which I considered
purely personal to to elf- SUMO Senators, how
ever, prefer to regard this pnietice of leav
ing the 'chair as a resignation Of the cf-
flee. If this be the true constinction
of the practice, -then my only reply to
those who oppose ~my pt.sition is, that, pis I
said before.) under the circumstanct s we were
placed, I believed it my duty not to ret-ign and
leave the dime vacant dating the contest, thus
snbjocticg the State to the liability of being
completely disargac•ized, both in iitrgislative
and executive department., Lnd in this view of
the precedent and practice, I am equally willing
to take the tespousibility of my acts.
It has been admitted by all, that when the
seedon commenced I wAs clothed with all the
functions et speaker, aLd that it was my duty
to take the chair and call the Sengte to order; but
Senatore who have opposed me say that whenl
bad rev ived the returns of the election of
eleven new members to the body, that moment ail
my official functions ceas:d, and I was no longer
the presiding officer, because a new element
had come into the body which had a
right to participate in the • election.
If such an argument have any force whatever,
it proves too much; for upon that theory, if the
Senate had chosen its offi:ers on the first day of
the cession, atter the new Senator from Indiana
.took his teat, a new election must have ken
h. Id, because a new eicment had come into the
body, and the officialcbaracter of die Speaker
ceased. I have searched in vain for either law or
precedent to establish etch a. position, and I
think the argument wholly without force.
The office of Speaker is erected_ by the Con
stitution, and when once filled in a legal man
ner can only •be vacated. as I conceive, by
.tax.Orttion, cf- the term fixed by law, by the
AtAth or resigriationtif the. (Scar, the expire
Miler& ideSettator,nrethe action of the
'SelinteFittdeciaring the office vacant, or elect
men. - ;haw mitts limiting the
term for. which ihe• Speaker shall hold the
offici, and it is not pretend-A , that any of the
other con4genciete have yet happened to vacate
the office. It seems to me, therefore, that there
can be no reasonable ground to assume a va
cancy. •
I do not intend to pursue the argument Fur
ther rhave only to, say that in assuming the
position I have taken I have no credit to claim
trom any one, other than that of having con
ecientionsly di charged say duty. I have been
charged, on,the floor of the Senate, withnsorp
lug the office, by Senators who have uniformly
treated me, paysonally, with the greatest cour
tesy.. All these chargts I have treated as tame
declamations—they have not affecttdirie In any
way. From the commencement of tlieUession
I endeavored to benfine myself strictly to the
rules of parliamentary law, until the rules of
the Stnate were adopted, and I have net wil-
Tingly deprived any Sen. &tor of his rights in re. ,
ruling. The positions which I have assumed ' ,
and which have been co firmly and ably =-
tabled and defended by my friends on the floor
of the Senate, have also' been most fully
and cheerfully recognized and endorsed
by the co-ordinate branch of the Legisla
ture, by the legal and executive departments
of the Government, and repeatedly by a legal
majority of this body. I had hoped that after
these endorsements had been followed by the
additional one of the people's votes in filling
the vacant place in this chamber, acd giving
the conetitutional.majority necms try for legia
Wien; and when that majority had, by its
vote, determined not to proceed to an election
for Speaker, the ordinal) , legislation of the
State, which has been so long delayed, would
have been allowed to proceed. But it seems
_still to be blocked. Seuato b. tinier thtir
sworn obligations, see fit to coasider that my
occupation of the chair in the position I have
stated issuffieient warrant for them to vote
against measures to which they profms their
assent; they seem to think that sufficient justi
fication for preventing the ordinary b , _gislation
of the State from taking its proper course, and
they have the power so to (ID - , although a mi
nority. That throws the respciteibility upon
me, after the Senate has determinednot to pro
ceed to any election. It seems to me that it is
noti my duty to the State longer to remain
la the chsir, if Senators su =atm., their duty
that it would not bejust to the publicintereie s
that 1 should remain in the chair if say occu
pancy of it is mid° the occasion for throwing
an impediment in the way of the legislation of
the State, in the con - ditionin the coun
try Is now found. Whatever my position may
be, whatever my interests are,.whatever my
desires are, all such considsratikts, are as
nothing in comparkon with the public inter
ests. After a service of almmt el -k 7 3 ears in the
Senate, I may say that I have De wish or de
.sire personally to be the presiding. .;officer of
this Senate, however much I am,flattered and
always would be flattered by that - ,poettion. If
the fact of my occupancy'of the/I-chair is
made an occasion . for any ..surtul..or any
Senators on this floor to JilF44-.ltirnself or
themselves in an opposition to,.the ordinary
proceedings of this body, and if:by resigning
