Show Governor Pennypacker of Pennsylvania Pennsyl-vania has made the expected appointment appoint-ment of Attorney-General Knox to succeed suc-ceed the late Senator Quay, as V. S. Senator from Pennsylvania. The Constitution Con-stitution of Pennsylvania contemplates contem-plates that In such a contingency as a vacancy In a U. S. Senatorshlp from the State, the Legislature shall be called In session; but as the term will cxpiro on tho -ith of March next, no doubt It was held unnecessary to convene the Legislature for the purpose o filling this short vacancy. The appointment does credit to Governor Pennypacker, and will shed luster on the State, for Mr. Knox will size up as the full peer of any Senator from any State. The Legislature could do not better In filling fill-ing this vacancy than the Governor has done. |
