EXECUTIVE INABILITY.

BT NEWTOK BOOTH.

From fbe San Francisco Argonaut, Aug 20.

For more than six weeks the Government of the United States lias been practically without an executive head. Hince the 2nd of July the President has pci formed but one oflicial act, has been utterly unable to give direction to public airairs. or make any suggestion to his Cabinet. That the machinery of the government should move on without jar or friction, is a high ^tribute to the correctness ot its adjustment. In ordinary tone's, the less personal interference with ils automatic movement the better. 'Extraordinary events, however, might occur, which would demand the presence iJt' aa Executive wiio-yroulrt act not merely fbrnȣUy^ to carry out the decisions of iiis Cabinet, or the wishes of a favorite secretary, but with deliberation/capacity, and a, full sense of official responsibility. Bucii an emergency was not adequately provif 1 for in the Constitution and, from ibe native of the case, could not be.

It wof'd be ditlicult, if not impossible, to tlx hit 'rn^nal to decide the character of tiiB -inability" which should deprive the President of his official functions, what de ive ol recovery should restore them, without giving rise to acw disonlers and greater uncertainties lha|i it would remedy or prevent. The Pmsi'» dentin subject to impeachment, tuidt* the most solemn form's, and his conviction deprives him of oJlice absolutely but that is a veiv different thing from making the office" itself the subject of law-suit or in{iiisition A decision ol "inability" to-day might be followed byone of recovery to-morrow and succeeded by oi.e of recurrence next week

Under a written constitution as wise as ours, every co.itinuency, even it anticipated, can not be definitely provided for something must be left to the wisdom and experience of those who are called upon to administer the government, and to the patriotism, good sense and instinctive love of justice and order of the people. The constitutional provision in regard to the "inability" of the President is as follows: "In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of his ofllce, the same thall devolve on the Vice-President, and the Congress may by law ptovide for the case of removal death, resignation or inability, both of the President and VicePresident, declaring what officer shall then act accordingly until the- disability be removed, or a President shall be elected." .•

In the discussion of lliip provision in the Constitutional -Convention,Mr. Dickinson asked: ."What is the extent ol the term 'inability,' and who is to judge of it? JSoanswtr was given 'None could be given* It was not more necessary to make the provision than it was to leave the term to be defined whenever the occasion should arise. IJy thte latitude of definition, the cohstitulion provided at once against tho nece^al|y^^ol revolution, or a prdcedurc outsida ttlic law in a great and unusual emergency, and for the dignity of t|^. hjglijjs^efUce in the government, and the fee^Virwy of its title. Before thenUiflc^i^i'.^f the Constitution &lk<o£ tjtigStfMre,"thpee was a discussion in'-the' British Parliament, which, if it liad occulted earlier, would doubtless have led to a more ex tended debate in our Constitutional* Convention, and possibly to an unfortunate attempt to define the indefinable. On the 4tli of December, 1788, Mr. Pitt laid before tlic llouse ot Commons the evidence of the royal physicians, taken before the Privy Council, in regard to the health of His Majesty George III. The king was insane. The physicians hoped the attack would be temporary. A lew days alter, Pitt moved for the appointment of a committee to search lor precedents "showing the manner in •which the sovereign authority luid bc'-n exercised in former eases of ils having been interrupted by sickness, infancy, or infirmity.'" Pox replied that it was perfectly known that no precedents for' a case ol the kind in hand existed in English history that the motion was for delay. Ami these giants of debate closed in battle—a life-and-death struggle for politicnl supremacy. Whoever believes in the decadence of public or private morals, or in the superiority of a government of tradition and precedent over one defined by a written constitution, would do well to study this chapter in English history. It is admirably iclatcd, with Tory 'and Whig bias respectively, in Jesse's "Memoirs of George III." and Fitzgerald's "Life of George IV.," the materials of which will be freely u-ed in this artie'e. Between George III. and his eldest son there was more than the proverbial antipathy between kiug and heir apparent. The prince asseverated that the king had hated him almo3t from his cradle. In private and domestic life the kiug was irreproachable the profligacy of the prince was indefensible yet it is as impossible to cordially like the king on account of his virtues, as to thoroughly detest the prince on account ot uis vices. It is not more paradoxical than true, that the United Kingdom suffered more in the loss of the American colonies the systematic corruption of Parliament by the introduction of the king's friends and the denial of Catholic emancipation through the narrow, morbid, superstitious "conscience" of the kiuc,tlian it did, or could, under any circumstances, from the utter lack of conscience and fixed principles en the part of his son and successor In the portrait gallery of kings what character is more conscientious or more atrocious than Philip II. of Spain What more contemptible than George III. of En gland.

The king had, for some weekp, been in feeble health, but the first positive symptom of insauity was manifested ou the of October, 1788, when he handed to s. Siddonsa sheet of blank paper, with his signature attached. The actress immediately conveyed it to the queen, and was warmly thanked for her discretion. The palace walls were not strong enough to hold the perilous secret. The birds of the eaves would have whispered it. There is often a cunning in madness, and the king himself was desirous of concealing the calamity, which was ten-fold aggravated to bim oy his consciousutss of the fact. He held a public levee, "in ordei to stop further lies, and prevent any fall of the

stocks"—so he himself wrote to Mr. Pitt. But his mind darkened day by day, and the cloud of apprehension spread over his realm. There weie few of his subjects so poor as net to pity their sovereign. Among itliose whom it was charged did not was his livg&est subject —his eldest son, and heir to the throne. The prince had for somjg time been onenly identified witli the opposition, whose headquarters werc,at Brooks' Club. Here it was a familiar practice ataione the wits of the town to say at cards, "I nlav the lunatic,"'instead of "I play the king," in the pfesence of the king's sons. It was well known that Pitt would oppose the appointment of the prince as regent without restrictions. Ii was surmised that he might advocate the regency of the queen, that he might exercise regal power liimsell. He was satirizecXftfl "William IV.."

The debate in Parliament continued for nearly a month. Thefts was "ratting," from both sides, ofAe?'" most disgiacetul kind.

of political incompetents It had been well understood, that, if the opposition .should come into power, Lord Loughborough should be Chancellor, as well understood as that Fox should be Premier. In the absence of Fox, the •prince and his friends had entered into negotiations with Lord Thurlow, the

Lord Chancellor in the administration of Pitt, and had promised him continuance of his office for his support ot the prince. Thurlow couslauliy met with the cabinet, participated in its deliberations, and revealed its secrets to tlvt piince. Thurlow was one of the great characters of his ime. He had the prescence of Oyimpian jove. One of the wits of his age said to him: "He must be a hvpocrate no man can be as wise as helooks." Master of sarcasm, stored'with learning, with a self-possession nothing could disturb, a readiness nothing could interrupt, Doctor Johnson said of him: "He is the only man in England whom 1 want a days preparation to meet in conversation-" yvas a Saul of giants—a king of kings. So utterly different in character of ability from Napoleon that comparison is impossible, he yvas the only cotemporary of the great Corsican yvbo could dispute him with the crown of intolectual supremacy. As an orator he yvas 'more Demothenian than Demosthenes. He yvas the |most powerful debater that ever spoke the English language—or any other. Beginning lite as a Toiy of Tories, his large nature in ils glory and expansion, burst the •.cachings of his father, the restraints of social and political ties, and he became the Whig of Whigs. The essential, vital principle of the Whigs was opposition to tin "divine right of kings." They had driven .lames II from his throne, and brought iu William ol Orange. On the death of Anne, they had excluded ihe Smarts, and given the throne 10 the H«use ot Brunswick. The* had established Pailiiunentary government in opposition to kingly prerogative. In opening the debate on the que3tion of the regency, led away by the eagerness for office, the desire of revenge, or prostrated by illness, Fox, the king of deba ers, whig incarnate, the most candid of men, made a fatal mistake as a debater, as a Whig, and as.a man. He declared it his "firm opinion that Hi* Royal Highness the Prince of Wales had as clear and ex pres-s a right to assume tiie reius of government, "and to take upon hnu ihe sovereign authority, during the continuance ot the king's illne s, as though His Majes had suffered a natural demise Pill, instant to see an opening for the thrust of his fatal rapier, exclaimed to a friend beside him: "Pel un-Whig the gentleman for the test of his life!" The plan proposed by Pitt was to make the Prince of Wales regent during the disability of the kinji,witUcertHin limitations and restrictions. One of ihe restrictions was that the queen should hive the custody of the king's person and the appointment ol the officers of the royal household This included a hundred good places' and yvas a part of th« spoils the prince' aud his friends were reluctant to forego. Another yvas that he should make no peers, except the king's sons, as they should severally become of age. There was a technical difficulty in the way. The Act of Parliament creating the regency required the royal assent for its validity. How could the kiug give official assent to an act which wus based upon the fact of hfs incapacity? To obviate this, one of the resolutions of Pitt invested the "Great Seal with a magical quality," and gave its impression the same power of authentic cation as the act of the king. This resolution was ridiculed by Burke, as the "Phantom It was an attempt to meet, under the forms of law, a case for which the law itself had made no provision, and could make none. When such an emergency arises, it must be met in substance by the reserve of that power which ordains all forms ot government endure.

THE GIVER AND THE TAKEB,

[The following is an attempt to versify a literal translation of a poem by the Hindoo writer, Tinevaluva, who lived, it is supposed, in the third century of our era. He was remarkable for his hatred of idolatry and caste, and for his almost Christian conception of God and human duty.)

Who gives what others may not see, Nor counts on favor, fame or praise, Shalt find his smallest gift outweighs The burden of the mighty sea.

Who gives to whom hath naught been given, His gift in need though small indeed As is the grass blade's wind-blown seed, Is large as earth and rich as heaven.

STOHY OF A NOSE.

"Wiil you permit me to sit beside you, little mountain girl?" "With great pleasure and am grateful t3 you for preferring my side to that of so many belles that shine in the salon. Do you know who I am?"

No ami it is quite passible I would -t, even if you should take off your mask. But no matter. Acquaintances made at masquerade balls are not apt to be the. yvorst." "They are apt to furnish disappointments, though." "I yvill not deny it, for I have experienced some, but—" "And you have given some, also?" "No lie yvho is accustomed to presenting himself everyyvhere, hot excepting at earnivr.l balls, with his face uncovered, can deceive feyv."

!i«TruIy,

you have no reason to hide it."

'Thanks, pretty mountain girl according to that, you knoyv me?" "Yes, by sight they told me you were a poet. Don't you.^ant to compose some verses for me?" "I will do so if Jou wish. I have always taken a pride in pleasing ladies but I should first know your name." "Ascribe any to me: 'Phyllis,' 'Laura,' 'Philena.' I do not have to tell you my real name. Arrange it according to your own taste." "But how, without seeing the face whose perfections I must exalt without knowing the sweet object of my inspiration, how can I "And what pleasure can you promise yourself in seeing my face?" "That of admiring it, if it is pretty, as I presume it is that of adoring you." "You have 'adoration' ever on your tongue. You poets deserve to be banished from every Christian republic. Either you talk of 'adoration,' through idolatrous impiety, or just for the sake of pleasing prattle you would be masquerading ahvays." "If that is certain, for my part, I accept with much pleasure a quality that likens me to the fair sex." "Are women such dissemblers?" "Yes, my little masquerader. With respect to that, you cannot say that the men accuse you groundlessly but I must confess that men's suspicion and tyranny occasion your lack of sincerity, and that, in general, your actions are worthy ,of indulgence, because the same desire of gratifying us obliges you to tell them. But is it possible that I am not to see your face?" "It cannot be. The desire of gratifying you counsels me to keep the mask on." "Your conversation charms me, and every yvord makes my impatience to knoyv you more lively." "Believe me, your and my interest oppose each other in what you ask. While I remain concealed I am sure of hearing flattering expressions from your mouth, to which I am not accustomed, perhaps. If I remove this protecting crape from my face, then farewell to illusion! Rigid courtesy, gloomy seriousness will follow tlic eulogies, which, if they have not made me proud, have at least diverted and pleased me." "This modesty is to me the best proof of your merit." *s "Yes, I have the merit of being modest—I mean of being sincere." "If I might confound you with the mass of women, it would .not cost me mueh trouble to believe you now. But you, you are not ugly, I can swear it. I do not mistake so easily. Like to the greyhound, I have a keen scent and a good nose."

On saying this 1 noticed in my companion a movement either of surprise or disgust. I fancied that such a vulgar phrase sounded ill in her ears, and I hastened to exculpate myself for not having made use of more elegant language. But my mountain girl laughingly declared that she pardoned me fully, and with good grace for so trivial a lapsus linguae. "But one thing would grieve me," I exclaimed, "if you should unmask." "What?" "Ob, I am of another species, or else

you calumniate the men, little mountain girl if not, undo this mask that torments me, and you will see how, far from being cooled, my affection, will augment

Where can this ugliness reside with which you pretend to frighten me? Do I not behold the elegance of your form? Do I not clasp your beautiful hand? Am

I ?.% 4

I not fascinated with your small and graceful foot? Do not the beams of light from those charming brown eyes pierce me? Those ebony tresses that form such a lovely contrast with the dazzling whiteness of your throat, whose are they but yours? If there were anything so ill, I should know it"

Then, with all this exquisiteness, which you so greatly exaggerate, I assure you that I am frightful! I should horrify you if I uncovered my face." "Oh, no it is impossible your form, your features—" "Have you seen them all?" "I may say yes. The nose is the only-"

Here she interrupted me yvith a burst of laughter. "You laugh does it chance to be— lioman?'' "Or Carthaginian? I don't knoyv. I will not engage to say." "No, it is not possible that an anomalous nose tarnishes the luster of so many attractions. 1 accept the consequences. WTith that mouth, yvith those eyes, that incomparable form, I permit you to be flat-nosed or long-nosed." "You are imprudent." "No, I am not. Reveal yourself/' "llash man!" "Will you oblige me to gaupon my knees?" "Enough. As you will. Why must we women be so weak? But let it not be my hand that shall open Pandora's box. Receive through your oyvn the punishment for your foolish impatience "I can unmask you with this hand! Envy me mortals! I am thrice blessed." "No—you are rash and ill-advised." "Perditions take the knot! I can't untie it. Ah, my knife, that is it. Beauti—"

t!

I could not finish the word, Buch was my surprise, amazement, terror. What a nose! What a nose I Oh, what a nose! I would not have believed that nature was capable of arriving at such a degree of pleonasm, hyerbole, amplification. The sonnet of Walter Quevedo,

There was a man attached to a no'.e, would be poor and colorless to paint it. This yvas no human nose it was a beetroot, a corner-stone, an Egyptian pyramid. If it is just to condemn everything unreasonable, everything exaggerated, why is it that a law is not given against the exaggeration of noses?

In the midst of the horror which this mournful discover)' caused me, I yvantcd to withdraw myself without incurring a rude remark from her. I made incredible efforts toivard some expression of gallantry. Impossible.

Fortunately for me, the mountain girl —who doubtless had learned to resign herself to her deformity, laughed quite good-humoredly, yvhether at my conflict or at herself I did not know. This gave me courage to rise, under the pretext of going to greet a friend. And, without daring to look at her again, I took my leave with a formal "Farewell, senorita."

Shame gave wings to my feet wrath blinded me the ground failed me in my flight. I stumbled over furniture, against persons, over myself. I flew to the refreshment room, took possession of a table, snatched up the, bill of fare, asked what they could bring me the quickest. I ate furiously from four different plates and they were [about to bring me the fifth, when I beheld seated in front of me—divine justice!—the same mountain girl, or rather, I should say, the same nose which had horrified me shortly before. My first impulse was to rise and run, but the merry girl petrified me by saying with infernal sweetness: "What! are you not going to invite me to supper?"

I felt troubled and looked sheepish. The nose laughed, and so, to my discomfort, did the gallant who accompanied her.

"Senorita

"It shall not cost you much—a glass of Roman punch nothing more." Such impudence stung me keenly, and I resolved on being revenged by mpeking her. a-.! "I shall have the greatest pleasure senorita, though I fear that your nose will prevent you from putting a glass to your lips. If you cannot take it off, as you did your mask, I do not know how "You are rude, sir, but I shall be gracious. I will remove it" ,. "How? What do you say? Then

At this inBtant her hand darted up to her nose, and—she tore it off! Alas! It was false. It was pastebOafd and it left her real nose revealed, no less graceful and perfect than the other features of ber face.

How shall I depict my shame, my desperation, on beholding such an exquisite creature, and the remembrance of the levity, the discourtesy, the iniquity of my couduct? I was going to beg a thousand (pardons, and, prostrated, kiss the dust at her feet but the cruel one took the arm of her escort, disconcerted me with a severe look, and, imitating my cold manner of a short time before, said: "Farewell, senor," and she burst into a peal of mocking laughter.

I never saw her more.
