In Ferry Vice President ?
Special to the New York Herald.]
Washington, Dec. 19.—1 t is prob
able that the Senate will think it wise
to elect anew presiding officer, in or
der to prevent any possible deadlock
and squabble over the succession to
the'Presidency in case of Gen. Grant’s
death. The law of 1792, intended to
provide for such a contingency, de
clares that in case both President and
Vice President die or are removed the
President of the Senate, “or, if there
is none, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives for the time being”
shall act as President. In order that
there might bo no vacancy in the suc
cession it has been usual during many
years for the Vice President to ab
sent himself at the close of the ses
sion, anil thus give the Senate an op
portunity to chooso an acting presid
ing officer. In this way, with Mr.
Wilson’s connivance, Mr. Ferry was
chosen last M arch at the extra ses
sion. , .
Until the uew House met this
month aud chose Mr. Kerr Speaker
there was no sneaker after the 4t h of
March last. Had General Grant died
at the same time with Mr. Wilson it
would seem that Senator Ferry must
have boeome acting President, and
if ho had also died before Congress
met there would have been no suc
cessor ready to till the place. Now,
however, there is a Speaker of the
House, and the Democrats raise the
question whether, if General Grant
should die over night, the succession
would not fall to Kerr. They say
that Mr. Ferry has not been re-elect
ed to the Presidency of the Senate
since that body met in this month,
and they quote from Jefferson’s man
ual a rule which declares that the. of
floe of President pro tern, of the Sen
ate terminates with the session of the
Senate and must be lilled anew after
a recess.
It is a singular fact that precedents
may be found in the history of the
Senate, both for and against the po
sition of the Democrats, but the
greater number of precedents, forty
nine against four, favor the claim of
Mr. Ferry’s friends, that he holds
over without anew election, and is
thus the successor of Gen. Grant.
These forty-nine precedents show,
however, only that Mr. Ferry may
hold over without re-election ; they
do not prove at all that the Senate
may not elect anew President pro
tem. On the contrary, the four pre
cedents show that it has done so, aud
thus may do it again. The motion of
Senator Edmunds, that the Senate
proceed to elect a President pro tern.
on the 7th of January, was
referred to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections. If anew
election is ordered there w ill be sev
eral aspirants for the place, and there
may be a lively intrigue for it, as
even so slight a chance of the suc
cession to so great an office is thought
valuable by several Senators.
Mr. Ferry is understood to admit
that the Senate has a right to elect
anew President pro tem. in his place,
but he asserts that it is not necessary
to do so. If the committee reports
that there should be anew election
there will be several candidates for
the place, but a strong effort will be
made by Western men and Mr. Fer
ry’s friends to re-elect him.
The Coniederate Graves at Fort
Delaware.-- Governor Kemper has
applied to the Secretary of War of
the United States for information in
regard to the graves of Confederate
prisoners who died at Fort Delaware
during the late war, and received a
response to the effect that most of
the bodies of Confederate prisoners
of- war who died at Fort Delaware
some 2,500 in all-are interred in the
soldiers’ burial ground at Finn’s
Point, on the New Jersey shore, op
posite the Fort, which is inclosed by
an osage orange hedge, and while not
in as good order as might be desired, is
reported as presenting a more respect
able appearance than many country
church-yards. In view of these facts,
and as the most practicable means
of securing the desired improvement
and care of the grounds, the burial
ground at Finn’s Point will be an
nounced in general orders as a
national cemetery, and the quarter
master general will be directed to
have the remains of the soldiers—
Union and Confederate—buried on
Pea Patch Island (the latter number
ing about two hundred, it is sup
posed) transferred to the Finn’s Point
Cemetery, and to have the latter put
in as good order os practicable with
the funds available for that purpose.
McDonald, the St. Louis Whiskey
Ring convict, says that “Let no
guilty man escape” was uttered first
by Bristow, aud then adopted by
Grant, and was intended to be “more
honored in the breach than the ob
servance.”
The venerable Mrs. Sarah J. Hale,
co-editor of Godey’s Lady Book for
over forty years and now in her
eighty-fifth year, claims the author
ship of “Mary Had a Little Lamb.
She says she wrote it forty-six years
ago, and published it in a little book
of “Poems for Our Children.”
Tribute to Stonewall Jackson,
Boston, Dee. 23.— The bark Stone
wall Jackson sailed for Norfolk, Ya.,
to-day. Three thousand persons
visited her. A salute and grand ora

Boston lady left in the cabin a costly
wreath lettered with Jackson’s dying
words. A gentleman presented an
elegant picture of Jackson by a Bos
ton artist.
THE DAILY TIMES.
BGVERR EAKTHQLAKE.
OUF.AT ALARM IN RICHMOND, VA.
Richmond, Va., Deo, 28.—From all
accounts the severe shock of an
carthquako experienced here at mid
night last night was one of the most
severe in this country. The biggest
scare was experionoed by people here
that Richmond has experionoed for
many long years.
All day the weather had been op
pressively warm and sultry. Toward
night, however, it blew up a little
chilly. Near midnight a fow strag
glers on the streets were conscious of
un unusual stillness and heaviness in
the atmosphere. A few minutes to
12 o’clock a distinct, severe earth
quake shock was felt throughout the
entire city. The duration of the
shock is variously estimated from ten
to twenty seconds and the movement
north and south. The lirst intima
tion was a heavy detonation, followed
by a rapid rocking, low rumbling
sensation for about four seconds;
then another distinct movement trav
eling east and west, was felt.
Throughout the city the wildest
consternation prevailed. A vast ma
jority of the citizens were in bed, and
were startled from their slumbers
under the impression that the build
ings hud tumbled in.
We happened to be upUud moving.
The first impression was that a ter
rific explosion had occurred in the
immediate neighborhood. In less
time than it takes to write, a large
proportion of the male population
were in the streets. All this evening
there was a general state of demoral
ization. At the hotels bells were
rung, and the guests made a general
rush for the passages and coyidors
of the Exchange. The bridge be
tween the two buildings swayed back
wards and forwards as if it would be
torn from its fastenings. Many la
dies were greatly frightened, and few
of them took time to make their toi
lets.
The shock was perhaps felt sever
est out on Leigh street, where houses
rocked as if on the bosom of a migh
ty wave. In some instances entire
families rushed out into the streets,
wild and terror stricken.
Parties of young gentlemen visit
ing that vicinity stood not on the or
der of going but went at once.
At Variety Theatre, which is a very
old building, the consternation
verged on madness. In the effort to
reach the street people actually tum
bled over each other, but fortunately
no one was hurt.
Accounts from several points along
the line of the K. &. D. R. R.. report
the shock felt.
THE EXPLOSION IX BOMTON.
LIVES LOST.
Boston, Dec. 23. Six persons are
known to be killed by yesterday’s ex
plosion. Fortunately the draw
bridge had been open some time and
three or four hundred people on their
way home from work in South Bos
ton were detained on this side. Had
the explosion occurred a few min
utes later, the loss of life would have
been fearful. It is supposed a pipe
burst during the cold weather, und
gas had accumulated under the
ground.
Treasury Berislons.
Washington, Dec. 23.— 1n regard to
the importation of certain wearing
apparel destined for use of the suf
ferers from Injury caused by grass
hoppers at Doll Rapids Dakota, the
Secretary of the Treasury informs the
consignee, Geo. F. liulley of New
York, that however much disposed
he may be to allow their full entry,
thero is no provision of law allowing
it, and the request is refused.
The Secretary of the Treasury also
decides that certain costumes im
ported by Geo. B. Johnson, of New
Orleans, for use of the Cowbellion de
Bakin Society of Mobile, Alabama,
and which it is claimed should be al
lowed free entry under a section of
the revised statutes providing for the
free importation of regalia, are not
entitled to free entry, not being the
kind of articles contemplated in the
law.
In regard to the trial of Lawrence
in New York, (mention of which was
made in these dispatches last night,)
the Attorney General says he has in
structed the District Attorney at New
York to the effect that for the pres
ent Lawrence can only be tried on
the charges on which he was extra
dited, and which are covered by the
extradition treaty between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain. As to
whether Lawrence can afterwards be
tried for crimes not covered by the
said extradition treaty, is a point to
be hereafter decided.
Fatal Affray In Sew Orleans.
New Orleans, Deo. 23.— About
twelve o’clock to-day Mr. Roux, book
keeper of Levy, Loeb & Schuer, No.
82 Canal street, was engaged in an
altercation about business matters
with J. K. Levy, merchant No. 25
Chartres street, in front of No. 17
Chartres street. The quarrel drifted
intoa physical encounter, whereupon
Roux shot Levy with a pistol, and
then clasping him around the body,
stabbed him in the side with a dirk
knife. Mr. Levy was at this junction
taken away by some of his friends,
who had come up, and conveyed to
his store, where at last accounts he
was thought to be dying.

A REMARKABLE FACT.
Notwithstanding the depression in trade and
in all other branches of business,
GAWLEY Jk LEWIS
are doing a moro extensive DIIY CiOOIIN

easily solved. When oue visits their Stores and
goes throunh the different departments,he will bo
surprised to see the immense piles of Ooods they
handle. They not only keep constantly on hand
a full supply of DRY GOODB,NOTION AC ~
but have oue entire floor for BOOTS and
SHOES, and another room for H ATS and ready
made CLOTHING. This Stock is by for the
largest ever offered in this market, and in buy
ing in Buch large quantities for CASH, they of
ooursc purchase at a great advantage, generally
from first hands, and can always offer their cus
tomers Goods at the very BOTTOM PRICES.
Their trade is now extended through Geor
gia, Alabama and Florida, and as it is found that
they sell many Goods at Now York prices without
adding freight, their orders are steadily in
creasing. They propose to sell any Goods at
Now York prices and freight added, aud they in
vite an examination and comparison of prices, by
all persons wishing to purchase, and give assu
rance that their pricoß cannot be beat.
