Majority Report is Against the Pennsylvania Man—Arguments of ths Committee. Washington, D. C., January IX—The report* of tbe committee on privileges and slsotlons in ths cose of M. A Quay, who claims a seat in the United States Senate on the strength of aa appointment from the Governor of Pennsylvania, were presented in the Senate to-day. The majority report, opposing tbe seating of Mr. Quay, was signed by Senators Caffery, Pettus, Turley, Harris and Burrows, tbe last named the only Republican signing It The minority report bean the signatures of Senators Hoar. Chandler, Pritchard and McComas, all Republicans, and advocates giving tbe seat to Mr. Quay. The majority report first reviews the circumstances under which Mr. Quay's appointment was made. Including the failure of the Pennsylvania Legislature to elect a Senator. It then says: "After a vacancy In the office of United States Senator occur* or comes to pass, If the next Legislature does not HU It. it continues to exist It Is the same vacancy, not a new one. Now. the State executive is given power to make temporary appointments in oasd Of a vacancy, not as long as It continues to exist, but only until tbe next'meeting of the Legislature, which Is then required to mi the vacancy. This clearly means that tbe paramount Intent to have tbs Legislature choose the Senator* Is to prevail, and that, whenever the Legislature has had the opportunity to fill the vacancy, either before or after it occurs, the executive has no power to appoint. And when we take the phrase, ‘If vacancies happen by resignation, or otherwise, during tbe recess of tbe Legislature of any State,’ If we concede that the general word ’otherwise’ is not qualified nor limited by the specific word •resignation,' and that It Includes vacancies which are caused by efflux of time, and which con be foreseen, as well as vacancies which are caused by a casualty or the happening of an unexpected event, and which can not be foreseen, still It must be construed and defined with reference to the balance of the phrase, so os to give effect to oil Its parts; and It tbu* results that the vacancy, no matter how It is produced, must happen, take place or begin during a recess of the Legislature; and this of Itself would be decisive against Mr. Quay's claim." The report says, thus construed, this clause of the constitution affords every facility for always keeping the Senate filled with Senators who are the real repreeentativea of their respective States. Intentions of the Framers. After discussing at length the circumstances under which the constitution was framed, the majority announces Us conclusion os follows: “We think that tbe framers of ths constitution never contemplated nor intended to provide for a case where a State, by its own deliberate act, should deprive Its Legislature of the power to fill an entire term at Its beginning. In our opinion they never Intended to give the executive of a State the power to fill an entire term by original Appointment, unless, possibly. In case where the Legislature had chosen and the person elsctsd had refused to accept or died before qualification. In other words, ws conclude that ths power of appointment was not to be exercised unless the vacancy occurred in tbe recess of ths Legislature and .woe occasioned by some casualty like death, or resignation.* ’ The report then quotes numerous precedents, beginning with that of Kensey Johns, of Delaware, In 17*4. and closing with the case of Henry W. Corbett, of Oregon, In i*8X It then ends as fellows:

No Power lx* Legislature. If there bo no power in tho executive of Pennsylvania to appoint a successor to Mr. Quay under this clause of tbs constitution, there Is no power In tho Legislature to choree such successor until the snd of tho term; and In every case where a Senator dies or resigns, where the Legislature 4s not in session, or where, after such death or resignation, the Legislature has met and adjourned without choice or wherever, at the beginning of a term, the vacancy remains un> filled, it must remain unfilled until the end of the six years, according to the logic of the majority of the committee." The minority report concludes: We think that a decision which must inevitably deprive States In the Union for long periods of time of their rightful representation under the constitution will not be permitted tong to stand, and that no settlement of the question in derogation of the rights of the States, end. as we conceive. In violation of the Intent of the framers of ths constitution, should be aoqutoered in.’’ DEATHS IN INDIANA. Albany, Ind..

precedents shows that from the beginning of the Government down to the present tlrat the Sonata has never recognized the right of a State executive to make a temporary appointment where the .vacancy happened or occurred during a session of the Legislature. It shows, further, that for seventy-five years the Senate hoe refused to recognise the right of a State executive to make A temporary appointment, even where the vacancy happened or occurred during a recess of the Legislature, If the Legislature, either before or after It occurred and prior to the date of the appointment had had an opportunity "The fundamental principle thua established Is that If the Legislature, either before or after the happening of a vacancy. has had an opportunity to fill It, than there la no power In the State executive to appoint. The result Is fatal to tne claims of Mr. Quay. No danger nor evil has resulted to the Government from the inforcement of this principle. "We, therefore, submit that the Senate, for Its own honor and dignity, should stand by Its previous solemn and

deliberate decisions." The Minority Report.

Tho minority report takes the opposite new. Quoting Section X Article l, of the constitution, the minority report says that th« failure of the Governor to oajl the Legislature together to elect a tor does not act to deprive the Governor of the power of appointment. Referring to the constitutional provision, the question Is asked; "Does tbe language of the constitution of the United States mean just what the constitution of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania says: ’In case of a vacancy In the office of United States Senator tn a recess between session*,' or does it mean that the vacancy must be one which comes by chance, so that It does not apply at all to the cose Ol a vacancy at the beginning of a term, which does not come by chance, but Is

foreseen ard Inevitable?’’

This question is answered as follows: "If the words have the former meaning, then all distinctions between cases where a legislature has been in session and those where a Legislature has not been In session, between vacancies at the beginning of a term and vacancies beginning after the term Itself has begun, and the office for that term once filled, are without importance. We think that tho former Is tha true meaning of the constitution. We think that H was the Intent of the constitution to provide, as far as possible, that every State should have two Sena-

tors.

% The constitutional convention hesitated between conferring the power of appointing Senators upon the execu-

represent the will of the people Under

nted all I

appointed two judges,

office for life. So there Is no reason to suppose that they considered the executive an unfit instrument for such appointment. And they settled tbe question by giving the power of permanent appointment to the Legislature, snd of temporary appointment to the executive. "X W* can conceive no reason likely to have Influenced the framers of Qm constitution for making a distinction between eases of vacancy occurring In one way or at one time and vamay be, at any time, of infinite Importto the intereota of a State.
