HOW VACANCIES IN THE PRESIDEN
CY ARE TO BE FILLED.
To the Editor of the New York Times :
I have frequently been inquired ot con
ceruing the provisions which have been made
by and under the Constitution,relating to the
Presidential succession, in case of the death
or disability of both the President and Vice-
President, and I find that many mistaken and
some very strange opinions exist in reference
thereto. The law is as follows:
' First—Tbe Constitution of the United
States provides that,
In case of the removal of the President
from office, or of his death, resignation or in
ability to discharge the powers and duties of
said office, the same shall devolve on the
Vice President; and the Congress may, by
law, provide for the case of removal, death,
resignation or inability both of the President
and Vice President, declaring what officer
shall then act as President, ana such officer
shall act accordingly, until the disability be
removed or g President be elected.—Cimsf.,
Art. //, Sec. 6.
Congress, therefore, ha 9 not, as some sup
pose, the power of appointing or electing a
President, or one to act asJpresident, in case
of the removal of both President ancl Vice-
President, but its authority can only be ex
ercised in its legislative capacity and by gen
eral enactment. It devolves upon Congress
to declare by law, which means by statute,
not what’person, bat what officer shall act as,
not be, President during the vacancy in that
office ; and
Second— ln pursuance of the constitutional
requirement, it has been enacted by Congress
that, in case of the death, removal, resig
nation, or inability to act, of both the Pres
ident and Vice-President, the President of
the Senate pro tempore , or, in case there
should be no President of the Senate, the
Speaker' of the House of Representatives
for the time being, shall act as President,un
tlt the disability be removed or a President
be elected. And also, that in case of any
such vacancy in the office of both President
and Vice-President, the Secretary of State
shall give notice, reoiring a special election
of electors, to be held at least thirty-four
days previous to the first Wednesday of De
cember following ;, provided such notice
may be first given, at least two months be
fore such first Wednesday in December; and
if-tbo-time be insufficient to give such two
months’ notice, then the election is deferred
until the following year. The manner of
casting, receiving, and announcing the voices
of the electors thus chosen is the "same as of
—an ordinary Presidential election.
Such are the general provisions of law
upon this matter. Thus far in our national
history they have proved amply sufficient,
and yet it will be noticed that-not many con
tingencies are provided for. The Presideat
and Vice-President both being removed,
there' are but two officers who can, act as
President, and during the long Congressional
vacation, from March to December,
these two offices may both be left vacant.
Indeed, at the present time, there is no
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
and thus the President pro tempore of the
Senate, is the only officer who could act as
President in case of President Johnson’s
death. For this reason, if for no other, Is it
not highly important that Congress should
be assembled without a moment’s delay, not
merely to elect a Speaker, but to provide a
further line of temporary succession, aud
thus guard against any probable contingency
wherein our government might be deprived
of its executive head. ' G. S. T.
Excitement of the People on the Arriy*
al of tiie Rebel Gen. JPaink.— Our people
were greatly disturbed about four o’clock
this afternoon by the appearance on the
streets of the rebel Major General Paine and
staff, who had been brought in horn Vir
ginia, under guard. It is said Gen. Paine
was one of the paroled officers of General
Lee's army, who had been permitted to visit
Fairfax county for ten days, with the privi
lege of asking for an extension of the period
of his visit. The ten days having nearly ex
pired he had sent his papers to Gen. Gamble
asking for the extension. A party of our
cavalry came upon him yesterday, and find
ing him and the members of bis staff without i
papers to show their right to bo theie,brought
them in under guard.. No sooner did the
crowd get a view of their grey uniform than,
becoming highly excited, it followed him,
increasing iu volume at every step till it
numbered several hundred by the time it
reached Col. Ingraham’s office.-
As the prisoners passed in at tho door a
grand rush was made, mingled with shouts
and cries of “Hang them.” “Hang the re
bels.” The tumult soon became so great as
to threaten serious consequences.
Ex-Seuator Hale came out of the office and
explained in a speech. Gen. Spincer also
talked to the multitude, and begged the peo
ple to quietly disperse. He was followed by
Col. Taylor, Chief of Staff and Gen. Asgur,
in a few words intended to allay excitement.
Meanwhile a carriage was brought up on a
side street, while the officers were passed out
the back way, hurried into it and driven
rapidly to the Old Capitol prison for protec
tion. Shortly after the crowd quietly dis
persed, and the evening has passed away
without undue excitement.
Mrs. Lincoln’s Sorrow. —Mrs. Lincoln
has not been able to summon up her fortitude
to undergo the agony of witnessing the
corpse of Mr. Lincoln since bis death. She
will be unable to go to Springfield for torn*
days.

DRIVING HOME THE COWS,
n ». a. shxfazd.
Oat of the clover and blue eyed grass,
He tnrned them into the dyer-lane,
One after another he let them pass,
Then fastened the meadow bars again.
Under the willows, and orer the hill,
He patiently followed their sober pace;
The merry whistle for once waa still,
Aad something shadowed the sonny face
Only a boy! and his father had said
He never could let hit youngest go:
Two already ware lying dead,
Under the feet of the trampling too.
’But after the evening work was done,
And the frogs were loud in the meadow-swamp,
Over his shoulder he slung his gun,
And stealthily followed the foot-path damp.
Aorosa i he clover and through the wheat.
With resolute heart and purpose grim,
Though cold waa the dew on his hurrying feet!
And the blind-bats, flitting, startled him.
Thrice since then had the lanes been white,
And the orchards tweet with apple bloom,
And now, when the cows came back at night.
The feeble father drove them home.
For news had come to the lonely farm,
That three were lying where two had lain;
And the old man’s tremulous, palsied arm
Could never lean on a son's again.
The summer days grew cold and late,
He went for the cows when the work waa done;
And down the lane, as he opened the gat*
He saw them coming one by one.
Brindle, Ebony, Speckle and Bess,
Shaking their horns in the evening wind;
Cropping the bntter-cups ont of the grass—
But who waa It following dose behind r
Loosely swung in tbe Idle air
The empty sleeve of army bine ,*
And worn and pale, from the crisping hair,
Looked oat a face that the father knew;
For Southern prisons will sometimes yawn,
And yield their dead onto life agaiu;
And the day that comes with a cloudy dawn
In:golden glory at last may wane.
The great tears sprang to their meeting eyas;
For the heart most speak when the lips are dumb
And under the silent evening tides
Together they followed the cattle home.
Maximilian about to Abdicate the Throne
of Mexico.—l am enabled to give you some
information in regard to the opinion enter
tained by some of Its former most ardent and
enthusiastic supporters, of the future pros
pects of the Mexican empire and its Emper
or. This information, which betokens a
speedy collapse of that concern, you may
rely upon as being true to the and you
will probably find it officially confirmed with
in a few weeks. Senor Arragoniz, the ac
credited Minister of Maximilian at London
aud Brussels, sent on his resignation by the
steamer which left Soutbamptou on the 3d
of April. He has stated to gentlemen of
high political standing in London that no in
ducements which could be offered would re
tain him in the position, as he is satisfied
that the Mexican empire is about collapsing,
and that Maximilian will, ere long, abdicate
and return to Austria. He is known now
bitterly to repent having accepted the crown
of the Montezumas, which he has found a
thorny one.
He has been Beriously disappointed in two
very important expressions—Firstly, that his
government would long ere this have been
recognized by the United States ; and sec
ondly, that he would have had the support
of the Pope and the Mexican clergy. Gen
eral Forey assured him that he had arranged
the former while in Washington on his way
back from Mexico. The break with the Pope
is now thorough and complete, and it is pos
itive that Pio Nofio will not even receive
Velasquez de Leon and the other commis
sioneis now on their way to Rome. Rather
than grant the concordat which Maximilian
demands, the Pope will excommunicate him,
and Maximilian rather than take this heavy
artilleiy of the church, will return to Austria,
where but the life of a boy six years of age
stands between him aDd the throne of the
Hapsburgs.— Paris Cor. N. Y. Herald.
A survey of Fort Sumter has been com
pleted by a corps of engineers who declare
it still to be a strong work. The sand works
inside, and the ruins of brick and mortar
outside the walls, protect the casemates;
though persons who were In the fort state
that some nights our guns killed as many as
twenty-five rebels at work within the walls.
Coffins are still left, ready for use. Loop
holes were so constructed as to command the
inside of the fort from bunks inside the case
mates. These bneks are of rough boards,
and inconvenient; the fleas are very numer
ous and extremely industrious. Two cats
are their only company as “a permanent gar
rison." At low water great piles of broken
9bells and, immense solid shot are seen out
side the base of the walls. The entrance to
the fort is through a gorge four fert square
and some twenty feet long, being the origi
nal aperture for a gun. In some of the
closets, hand grenades, rockets and cartridges
remain, as if they might be needed at short
notice.
The Fbelino in the British Provinces.—•
There is barely an exception to the universal
feeling of friendly sympathy and deep sor
row which find expression throughout the
neighboring‘provinces. The admirable arti
cle from the Toronto Globe, which we copy,
undoubtedly reflects tne all-prevailing senti
ment in regard to the late President—a senti
ment not merely of profound respect, but
but something almost akin to personal affec
tion. That there is an exception to this feel
ing is shown by the view of an assassination
which is taken by the provincial organ of the
rebels. That print, we believe, will be found
to be the only so called British newspaper in
either hemisphere that will be able to find so
self-satisfying a plea to justify the murder.—
It fitly represents the rebel refugees who cel
ebrated the assassination at Toronto in a
general debauch, over which “a Sou them
clergyman" very properly presided.— N. Y.
Times.
Burial Place of President Lincoln.—
Governor Oglesby to-day received the fol
lowing despatch:
Springfield, 111., April 18, 1865.— A Na
tional Monument fund is on foot, and a plot
of groundsix acres in extent, in the heart of
the city, has been selected as the burial place
of our late lamented President.

A Romance of Real Life. —Many years
ago a Mr. G., of this county, after a long
sickness died, and left a wife and two small
children—a boy and a girl—in humble cir
cumstances, to fight their own battle through
life. A little cot by the hillside, near the
Brandywine, was secured to the widow and
children. Time passed, the girl became a
woman, married a worthy man, and moved
to Philadelphia. He was stricken down by
disease, and after a long sickness died, leav
ing his young wife with two small children
to return to her mother by the “hillside near
the Brandywine.’’
The boy also became a man. Not satis
fied with the prospects and surroundings,
he—the son of Heniy—one spring morning,
with the blessings or mother and sister, start
ed for the Great West to make his fortune.
Time passed, and mother and sister received
letters from him as he journeyed westward
until he passed Fort Independence, when
they failed to receive any ; and the son Hen
ry was traveling, not satisfied with the pros
pects. So he traveled on until he came to
the State of Chihuahua, in Mexico. Stop
ping at Opoura for a few days, to recruit,
Henry became acquainted with a pretty sen
orita, and before long he was able to say
♦hat he had found his Eldorado. And Hen
ry being married, settled with his Mexican
friends. Beingaman of an j ingenious turn
of mind, he sdun "Ulonished the natives, •
made money, and soon was a leading man
bmong them. Years passed, during all of
which time another ana sister still plodded
along in the cot by the “hillside near the
Brandywine.”
Three weeks ago last Tuesday, Mrs. G.,
ou going to the post office, found a letter
there from her son Henry, in Mexico. As it
had been so long since hearing from him, she
opened it without much ceremony. A piece
of tissue paper, fell out—she picked it up,
examined it; it contained a coat of arms,
had figures, dates and writing in different
colored inks—and read: “ Wells, Fargo &
Cos., pay to Mrs. , or order, the sum of
five thousand dollars, in coin, and charge
the same to Jpras, Castions ffl Cos., bankers,
Mexico.”
The letter informed her that he was mar
ried, had made money, and that the Inclosed
draft was to enable her to buy a house; for,
said he, 4 I am coming to see you next sum
mer, and-wish you to be nicely fixed, be
cause I am going to bring my wife and chil
dren with me.” t
The same day Mrs. G. took the letter and
draft to Mr, P., a gentleman who had been
her friend since her husband’s death, The
consultation over, the following took palce:
The next day Mr* P. sold the draft in Phila
delphia for over eleven thousand dollars:
six thousand dollars was invested in U. B.
!0‘40,5; a house and lot were bought in the
ancient town of Coatesville for five thousand
dollars, and the loose change was taken to
refurnish. To-day the house is in order, and
mother* and daughter are patiently waiting
for Harry, who left them many years ago to
one Spring morning, to seek his fortune in
the West, when they-lived in the cot by the
“hillside, near the Brandywine."— Westches

Jeff. Davis on Jeff. Davis.—
Jeff late President of the Confederacy, now
fugacious in Southwestern Virginia, seems to
have made ample provision for himself. It
was kind in him and prophetic. There are
some persons who have a more charitable
notion of the crime of treason than the arch
traitor himself. In 1868, Davis delivered an
address at Faneuil Hall, Boston,in the course
of which he said
“Among culprits, there is none more odl
ons to my mind than a public officer who
takes au oath to support the Constitution—
the compact between the States binding each
other for the common defence and general
welfare of the other—yet retains to himself a
mental reservation that he will war upon
the principles he has sworn to maintain,
and upon the property rights, the protec
tion of which are part of the compact of the
Union. , . , . _
“It is a crime too low to be named before
this assembly. It is one which no man with
self-respect would ever commit. To swear
that he will support the Constitution—to take
an office which belongs in many* of its rela
tions to all the States, and to use it as a
means of injuring a portion of the States of
which he is thus the representative, U treaton
to everything that is honorable in mm. It is a
base and cowardly attack of him who gains
the confidence or another, in order that fat
may wound him.” * *

The Assassin’s Horse.— The horse sup
posed to have been ridden by the man who
made the assault on the Sewards was a man
well known in the city, of peculiar pacing
gait, and very fast. He belongs to Thomp
son Naylor, livery stable keeper, onE street.
This horse had been let on Friday, to be re
turned at eight o’clock in the evening. Not
coming at the time stated the hostler was on
the lookout for him near Willard’s. He
knew the horse by the peculiar sound of his
hoofs upon the pavement. Asa horseman
came down the avenue the boy staled to a
friend, “There’s the pony, now.” Observing
that he did not turn down Fourteenth street
to the stable, he ran towards him to ques
tion him. At that moment-the horseman
turned, from some cause or other—perhaps
the commotion on the streets—and, ridiug
back to the comer, passed rapidly up Four
teenth street and down F street
The boy, now fearing that the man intend
ed to steal the horse, ran to the stable, and
mounting another fleet horse, started in
pursuit. Knowing that the man has given
his residence at Port Tobacco, Md., he went
toward the Navy Yard bridge, accrots the
eastern branch. Near the Capital he met an
old man who informed him that a man on a
roan horse had just passed up the bill. He
then pushed on to the Navy Yard bridge,
where he inquired of the guard if a man
on a roan had jnst crossed over, and
was answered in the afflmative, and the man
gave his name to the guard as Smith. The
boy then explained to the guard bis fears
that the horse was stolen, and acked if be
conld pass over. The guard said he could,
but could not return that night. Not caring
to be out over night, and knowing nothing
of the tragic scenes which had just been en
acted in the city, he returned to the stable-
This person who hired the roan horse had
been keeping one or two horses at Naylor’s
stables during the last two weeks. One of
them, Mtaffion, bad been sold. The other,
a brown one eyed pacer, whose gait and
speed were quite similar to those of the roam
he had taken away, and reported that he had
sold him. It now appears that this horse was
tbe one taken on the street on Friday_ night
by tSe police, altar having fellen with his
rider, who escaped. Naylors foreman iden
tifies the saddle which was on the horse as
the same which had formerly belonged to the
one eyS brown horse. He also identified
hia photograph, now in the hands of the au
thorities. When he kept his horse at Nay
lor’s be gave his name as Atzertard, and hi*
residence as Fort Tobacco. When he hired
the roan horse on Friday he left Pumphrey’s
brown mar# at the stable, with directions
that she should he std, groomed and saddled
by ten o’clock precisely. f *
This was tho man which, on the sente
PRICE. 5 CENTS
day, had been hired of Pumphrey by Booth.
At ten in the evening, a man, who gave his
name as Earle, called for the mare. The
stable boy asked him what had become of
the man with the roan t *Oh,” said he, “he
will be back directly, and when mounting to
ride away he remarked, “You will hear of
Seat news before morning.” The boy
ought nothing of that, as we had been
hearing of great news every day for some
time, bat feeling uneasy about the roan, he
watched to see what way the rider ot the
mare went and saw him turn up Tenth
street, toward Ford’s Theatre.

LETTBE FROM KDWIN BOOTS.
At the time of the Assassination, Edwin
Booth, brother of John Wilkes Booth was
playing an engagement at the Boston The*-
tre, Boston.
It appears that immediately upon the re
ception of the dreadful news, Mr. Jarrett,
the manager, wrote to Mr. Booth, releasing
him from his engagement, to which Mr.
Booth made the following reply:

Henry C. Jarrett , Esq.:
My Dear Sib With deepest sorrow and
great agitation I thank you for relieving me
from my engagement with yourself ana the
public. The news of this morning has made
me wretched, indeed, not only because I
have received tbe unhappy tidings of tbe sus
picions of a brother’s crime, but because of
a good man and a most justly honored and
patriotic ruler has fallen in an hour of na
tional joy by the hand of an asssssin. The
memory of the thousands who have fallen on
tbe field in our common country’s defencs
during this struggle, cannot be forgotton by
me even in the most distressing day of my
lile. And I most sincerely pray that the
victories we have already won may stay the
brand of war and the tide of loyal blood.
While mourning in common with all other
loyal hearts, the death of the President, I
am oppressed by a private woe not be ex
pressed in words. But whatever calamity
may befall me or mine, my country, one and
indivisible, has been my warmest devotion.

JUNIUS BRUTUS BOOTH.
T,his member of the family would have
completed a two weeks engagement at Piko’a
Opera House, on Saturday night, but for the
terrible news which associated the family
name inseparably with thegpruel assassina
tion at Washington. Mr. TBooth, who had
been up late the previous night, left his room
and went direct, to Pike’s Opera House on
Saturday morning to attend rehearsal, totally
unaware of what had transpired. An excited
crowd had already clamored at the door for
him, tom down the bill in which toe was an-j
nounced, and had only left on assurance that
he would not play, and that no performance
would be had that evening. When he ap
peared on the stage, Mr. Simmons, acting
stage manager, drew him to one side, ana
cautioned him against too much publicity.—
He inquired why, and, on being tola the
news, exclaimed, ‘‘My God! can it be pos
sible!” swooned away, and was conveyed
from the stage in an insensible condition.—
He is reported to have since left the city.—
He is said by those who claim to know him,.
and speak advisedly, to be a Union man,
witbont a tinge of secession poison or sym
pathy ; but of his political notions we know
nothing. He resembles bis father, personal
ly, more than any other of the family, having
his antique type of face, aud featvires capa
ble of wonderful expressions under the in
fluence of excitement.
