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.-

Comments on County Ticket next

aupport.
The Way To Republican Victory.
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

and such a majority as the Republicans
of Pennsylvania can give when they are

DESCRIPTION OF TIM CAR;
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3. —The special
car furnished by the Pennsylvania
Railroad for the transporation of the
President from Washington, will be
sent south_ to-morrow night. The car
has been fited up in view of the
greatest comfort. It is sixty-thre feet
in length, provided with a drawing
room, bath room and a- dining room
large enough for ten persons, and a
kitchen furnished in the completeig
manner. There are four unfolding
beds. The ventilators of the car will
secure plenty of air without causing a
current through the car. aA netting
covering the ventilation guards against
cinders and dust. .
The oar was used by the Prince of
Wales who made an extended journey
through the S9uth and West, also by the
Grand Duke' Alexia , -on his visit to
this country, and afterwards by
Prince Arthnii,.: and Presidents Grtuit
and Hayes. 'lt conveyed Garfield
from Mentor to :Washington and took
Hayes home from Wa,•nington. The
Duke of Sutherland's party, English
railway men and members of Parlia
ment some time ago traveled in the cat
over the Western lines.
Nunn OF THE CABINET.
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.
One of the physicians is reported as
saying to-day that the President_ is
very , weak, dangerously weak. So
weak is he that any new complication
will probably prove fatal. •He -.is as
weak as he was last Sunday.

Nzw You. Sept. 4.—Washington
specials are as follows:
The Times t says: The change in the
President's diet yesterday was very
acceptable to him. He remarked to
Dr. - Bliss that reed birds were not only
delicious but blissful. • Dr. Bliss said
last;night that the wound is healing
and' evidently growing smaller. The
outside is_closing, but the process is
slow.• There is granulation, but not so
much as before the, relapse. 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.
This 'allusion was to the arrival of the'
Vice- President of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, who is coming for the
trans. pose of arranging the details of trans
portation. -

The car on which the President will
be conveyed to Elbernn has a wide
door opening inside. The President's
bed can be put into it just as he is. It
will be,carpeted with cushions. Next
to the engine will be the parlor car for
the President's family ;and menbers of
the household. The President's ciir
will be second on the train; and lbehirid
will be the hotel car for the surgeons
and hospital stores. Generid Manager
Thomson of the . Pennsylvania Railroad
advised the doctors that' the' train can
be run at a high rate of , speed with -
greater , ease to the patient. Six hours
is uanied as the time for the trip. The
track will , be built from the Long
Branch depot to Elberon cottage, so
that in case of rain the President will
not be exposed. A guard of twenty
soldiers will accompany the train, the
car to be used is to be brought on the
track that brings stone to the Washing
ton monument, within a third of a mile
of the White House. The President
will be then taken on
~a litter , across
the lawn to the car.
It is estimated that he can be carried
that far and landed in the car in fifteen
minutes:` It is not intended' to, give
information of the time, but it is ex
pected will be removed in the early
hours of the morning.
The emergencies of the journey can.
not be provided for. There are too
many possibilities in t it for that, and
they will have to be met as they' occur.
No 'one need be surprised to hear that
the President has left the White
loose / at any hour succeeding day
light Sunday.
The cottage allotted to the President
is connected with the Elberon, and con
tains a room as large as that which he
now occupies, and is provided with a
radiator and a fireplace, so - that the
temperature can .be regulated. It is
the villa formerly occupied by the Pres
ident... Dr. Bliss says no relapse could
take place en route unless by local ex
citing cause, which certainly will be
preceded by unfavorable symptomS. If
such tdications manifest themselves,
the removal will not be . undertsken.
If local disturbances should take :place
after the President is on the train,
they would not develop t•efOli he

that he vomited. During: the day he .

he is quietly sleeping.'
THE großy or Tan NIGHT ADD DAY.
The morning bulletin created consid
eiable apprehension thorughout the city
and numerous' inquiries were made at
the Mansion, as to the cause of the
vomiting. The attending surgeons
explained that it was occasioned by a
collection of phlegm in the throat, and
no serious omsequences were expected

the wagon by Drs. Bliss, Reyburn and
Boynton, Swain.. Col! Rockwell, Cor
bin, C. 0. Rock Well and ' Warren
Young, who remained with the patient
during the removal to the . depot: The
patient reclined in an easy, positidn on
the bed, his right hand laid upOn his
breast and the left arm stretched at
frill length upon the coverlet. His
forehead was covered by linen cloth.
His featnres wore a patient and resign
ed expreision. 7A_ platform had been
erected from the portico to the wagon
and across this the bed was tenderly
and easefully carried. No mishap oc
curred in the transit, and all the horses
were started for the depot. The con
veyance was preceded to the depot by
carriages containing the remainder of
the party to accompany the President.
As the wagon moved from the Man
sion, the President feebly but cheerily
lifted his left haird and waged a fare
well to the inmates assembled on the
porch. The wagon was , driven Edowly
through the grounds and down Penn
sylvania Avenue to -
I the depot, the
horses at no tine going faster thaii a
walk. 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. The President was
at once transferred from the expiess
wagon to the combination car.
The depot being -reached ; the horses
were detached, the wagon wu backed
up to the car, and the same gentlemen
who transferred the patient from the.
White House to the wagon, removed
him from the wagon to the car. 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 niMrfiVEH TO THE COTTAGE.
Shortly before noon about twenty
five hundred persons gathered around
the Prencklyn cottage, anxious to wit
ness the arrival of the President. 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.
INCIDENTS OP TIM TILEP.
Private Secretary Brown says that
upon leaving the Executive Mansion
the President appeared to enjoy the
scenery and looked around inquiringly.
He noticed several employes standing
in front of the. Mansion, and waved his
hand to them, at the same time -smiling
as if it were very' gratifying for him to
leave the scene of his longlillness. All
the way to the depot the President wail
very anxious to observe everything, and
this he was not prevented from doing.
At 10:10 stop of tour minutes oc
curred at I.4Makin for coal, the only
coal that was taken on the trip. I/
At 10:30a stop of five minutes was
made at Gray's Ferry for water. , Be
tween Philadelphia and Monmouth
Junction the train made several miles
at the rate of seventy miles
_in hoar.
Bay View was reached at 8:05, and a
brief atop made to enable the 'surgeons
to make the morning dressing of the
wound, which was found to have sui
fered no derangement by travel. The
dressing was soon accomplished, aadithe
train after leaving-Bay View was run at
a rate of about fifty miles an hour.
The surgeons feel very. much grati
fied-with the manner in which the re.
moval was coudeeted, end are generally
of the opinion that, except the alight
fatigue, the President bore the journey
exceedingly well. The practice of issu
