Judge Black on the Constitution• In the opinion of Judge J. S. Black as Attorney General of the United States, given to President Buchanan November 20, 1860, there occurs this sentence: "Whether Congress has the constitutional 'right to make war against one or more States, and require the Eicecutive of the Federal Government to carry it on by means of force to be drawn from the other States, is a question for Congress itself to consider. It must be admitted.that no 4 such pow er is expressly given; nor are there any words in the Constitution which imply it." This is the clause in Judge Black's opinion and instruction to President Buchanan, upon which is founded the charge that in his opinion "the Constitution conferred upon the . , President no power to coerce a State: seeking'to secede from the Union," Here is a vital point, and it was be hind. this opinion that President Buchanan entrenched himself, and sat as weak and helpless as a child while State after State went out of the Union, and the arms and moni tions of war as well as the public funds were being stolen • from the Government. Is there no respons ibility resting with Judge Black for the consequences which resulted from . such a rendering of the Con stitution? Was it in keeping strictly with ; his recent professions of sincere loyalty? • The Vice President's Position. • The continued improvement of the President brings the inability • question again to the tront. While he lay appar ently at death's door, by general con sent the subject was dropped., It be comes again a practical question with the renewed Prospect of his continued illness or long convalescence. That the Constitution contemplates the tempor- ary discharge of the President's duties .by the Vice President during the for `mer's inability is very generally concede ell. In the absence of pre cedent or leg . islation on the subjedt, opinions vary as to the method of enforcing this consti tutional provision or the possibility of enforcing it at all. Certain prominent journals, with much more zeal than discretion, have been urgiug the Vice President for weeks past to proceed to Washington and assume forthwith the duties and prerogatives of President. • This advice generally came from a ques tionable quarter, but, whetlier given in - good faith or not, has had little influ - enc 4 on the country and none at all with the Vice President. Thus far the Government has ; prob ably suffered little inconvenience from the prostration of its Chief Executive. Had the President been in- health the past two months would have been his vacation time, and all preparations had been made with that in view. As the weeks of his illness giew into mouths there are more and more questions de manding Executive attention and the President io !unable to act. It is report 0, and doubtless truthfully, that the Cabinet have been for some time ser iously considering the best way oat of the existing difficulty. Should the President's removal be decided !von, the present anomalous condition of `affairs would, without being at all <changed, become more obvious to ,the country and increase the agitation for some solution of the difficulty. The President himself would doubtless be glad to know that through the agency of the Vice President the ordinarteie entive functions were duly performed by virtue of the constitutional proviso applicable to the case, and that his con tinued inability to perform the duties of his office did not serve to clog and embarrass the ordinary working of the machinery of Government. The knowl edge of this fact would undoubtedly relieve the President of a pressing anx iety, which -must necessarily contribute in some degreee to the many complica tions attending his illness. It may be safely rammed that Vice President Arthur will do nothing at all escept on assurance that the President is out of immediate danger. With the prospect of a long period during which it will not be possible or at least pni dent for the President to be burdened with any official business, the Vice President. when requested to do so by both the President and his Cabinet, will consent to perform the necessary routine duties of the Chief Executive (Ace under tho title of 'Tim President Acting for the ,President." Farther than this he would doubtless be unwill ing to go, nor would there be any ne cessity for it. This alone will relieve the Government from the embarrass- meet now beginning to be felt, arising from the President's long-continued inability to perform the duties and functions of his office. It will 'relieve the mind of the sick President from the sense of rOsponsibility for unfulfilled official duties. It will reassure' the country. Which with reason, is not sat isfied with the present condition of affairs and yet wants no change in the general administration of the ticrveni- nt. Such u limited assuciption of the executive function as we have indi cated would amply meet all the neces sities of the case, carry ont literally the constitutional requirements, and inspire the country with increased confidence in the moderation and patriotism of ,the Vice Preaident.—Phila., Press.- couyry THE !

The Philadelphia Press, of &Willey, gives the following excellent advise to the members] of the State Convention which assembles at Harrisburg to-day. Though, late, the _sentiments so fully accords with our own and with what we believe to be the public temper, that we give it a place in one columns: Though .a single namb will make up ticket which fa to be nominated at Har risburg next Thursday, and though there has been no active canvass of the party by the candidate, the Convention is exciting a deep interest throughout the Commonwealth. This is a whole- Some sign, for when the Republican party of Pennsylvania is awake itis able to take care of itself. DemoCrats, too, are finding in this Republican gathering a good deal that concerns, them, and they ate liberally proffering advice, which is as good for them to give as it would - be bad to ac cept. We have therefore, the adieu tage of knowing what the enemy wants us to do; which makes it just that much plainer what we ought to do. • The warning words of The Press have struck the hearts and the judgment of the party. The people approve a stand which: is just and honorable to the whole organization, requiring of no one an unmanly sacrifice and acording to all Republicans equal rank and standing. Ttiosd newspapers which hold the free will and success of the party above per sonal or factional triumphs have come to the front with boldness and vigor, demanding that the Convention shall represent the whole party and acknowl edge no master before it. _ If the ticket to be made at Harris burg is to command the party support the party . Must niak° it. _ That is the party's right, and It'must insist upon it. • Delegates leis trammel ed never corn- , posed a convention. There have been no instructions frOm the people; none should be listened to from any other source. The ConVention is not %Well to punish anybody for his attitude on any other °catalpa toward any other matter, and the majority of the party does not expect to be disciplined for iny majority rights which may here tofore have ezerchied. It will not be necessary to remember old dividing lines at all.. It will be enough to remember that the Republi cans of Pennsylvania, while reorganiz ing every party member's , right to his own opinion and-his freedom of action, are determined henceforth to govern themselves and strong enough to• do it. Let us haven Convention represent. ing the whole party, 'with fair plan for everybody. That means a good ticket and such a majority as the Republicans of Pennsylvania can give when they are in good humor. Horrible Mit/macre. azsznAL cum AND aus..imulmit.

The Cabinet met to-day at the State Department. Secretary Blaine presided and all were present. The session lasted an hour and a quarter. There was an earnest discuesion of the situation. • Enquiries of several Cabinet officers failed to elicit other than the most general replies. The condition of the public, business of the several Depaiiments - was reviewed. It is believed Oat the question of the necessity for eiecutive action pending the `President's temporary inability wad, discussed, though the response to all inquiries was a - declination to speak upon this subject. - _ It is stated that one of the Justices of the Supreme Court, attended the Cabinet meeting to-day. A membez of the Cabinet is represented as saying that the more they discussed the ques tion of the President's inability, the greater the difieulties appeared. THE Pazsmstris wsuanna.

When Dr. Agnew returned the last time, he said: 'The• Preilident is better than when I went away. The gland is do ing splendidly, constantly decreasing in size and even healing. - There was a little sloughing of the cellular tissue, but much less than was expected. I cut off to-day some of the adherent core which was too tough yet to be pulled out." Dr. Boynton said that the , removal Will certainly take place within Seven ty-two hours.' The precise time will depend upon the ability of the railroad people to get the car ready. They will decide tluit when they come here.

At the head of each horse , stood a man ready to assume control of the animals in case of need, The ride to the depot was without incident. The crowd which followed was orderly, and anxious not only for the safe trans portation:hf the 'patient, but also - to catch a glimpse of his face. This Was not difficult to do, as the curtains of the wagon were raised up to enable the President to breathe the morning air. ' 4:18 X. The President and his party have reached the depot.

Though they met with some slight difficulty, owing to the floor of the car being rather high, the delicate task was per formed without appearing to disturb the President. When inside the car he was transferred from, the bed on which he had been carried and- placed upon the spring bed already prepared.

The guards kept the throng back to a res pectable distance, and although a rush was made when the train arrived, no difficulty was experiencedfin preventing too near an approach to the train. ' Just before reaching the cottage,` the train was brought to a stand still, and the first car, used . .by the physicians, and the baggage car,:. were detached and pushed by hand around the sharp curve, plaiting s semi-circle around the Piesident's cottage. 'Folloiing this proceeding, the car in which the patient was lying was gently started and pushed slowly over the same course until it reached the en trance of the cottage. A large awning was then thrown around the portico, so that the' sun could' not fall upon the patbmit, and he Icould not be observed by the anxious watchers. The removal from the car was accomplished without exciting him in any manner and while he was apparently a little fatigued, he did not complain and ap peared perfectly calm and well satisfied.
