HARRIS. WILMINGTON, N. C mUT I0BSIXG, JAN. 28, 1SI7. COUNTY AX1 MUNICIPAL CiOV- EltSiMliNTS.' . y. We hope the Legislature will do Bomethinj? Bneedilv for the re lief of ottr Buffering Eastern court " ties. "What that something ought to be is a matter for the people in the counties to decide. In the matter' of county government it seems to us very cloar that the Legislature ulionld either appoint the justices of the peace who may appoint a govorning board from among themselves, or that the Legislature should,, directly con stitute such governing board. Municipal . government ' could easily be arrangod in the same way. Tho power of tho OencraJ Assembly is as conclusive in tho one case as in the other. The Constitution, as we have said bo fore, ia not a dead letter. It pro vides for legislative control of this subject ' The Amendments to tho Constitution were carefully con fiidercd by an able Convention composed of some of tho leading lawyers and practical intellects of the State. Suroly4ho work they did ought to stand, endorsed as it was by all the Democratic ora tory and logic and by the voice of the people at the polls. ; But it is urged that the Su preme Court will docide that any appointment taking the elective franchise from . the people is un constitutional in spite of this ex7 press declaration of the Constitu tion. Well,' suppose it should, who knows that it would not hold an election under a gerrymander to be likewise unconstitutional on the same ground? " We think it would. It did bo hold once bo- fore. Messrs. Van Iiokkelen and others were kept ; out of office by the quibbling smartness and par tisan bitterness 6T tins Supremo Court What then would be gained by waiving our constitutional rights T Nothing, so far as we can see. What would be lost T Every op portunityr perhaps- to- carry out the Bpint of the recenuyivpted Amendments. . We are not factious. We speak for the public interests, not in sovere condemnation of those who sincerely espouse other views; but in the spirit of earnest devotion to the good of the- city. The Democratic peoplq of. Wilmington are divided on1 the.' question, and the differences are broad aad deep. Still we think that after an open, .manly discussion a full agreement will be arrived at The gentlemen who hold that it is in expedient to appoint a municipal government are those whoso in telligence, character and influ ence in the ' community entitle them to an unbiassed hearing and to great, respect . In declaring itself in opposition the Journal merely" presents its own views frankly for what they are worth. We trust the conferences going oa in the wards will result in the perfecting of a plan of government that will' meet" all the ' require ments. , The plan to build a suitable edifice Jfor the preservation of the various foreign and domestic ar ticles left over at; tho Centennial, Exhibition, is a good ono.t .It is difficult for a young nation to realize how much' it loses Ijy the absence of the masterly paintings, superb mosaics, and grand ruins of the old world. Lot ua fostor any enterprise that promises to elevate the testlietic tastes and cnuragG tue industry of the ' people.- . PASSACK OF Till; C.I.IXTOKAI. HIM.. ' Tbo final passage of the Elcrto ral bill on Friday removes the danger that menaced the country a few days ago. There is io dotilt that a conspiracy had been formed to count Hayes in, and then to back him by an armed jrco. The scheme was for Mr. Ferry, the pliant President of. the Senate, to count the ballots of the electoral colleges and declare the result. If any opposition was raised tho conspirators had relied upon the retiring Administration to enforce their programme. Happily for the country the in iquitous scheme whicLwould have destroyed republican government in America, has been thwarted by the action of Congress. The plan adopted is not perfect, but it is perhaps the best that can bo de vised at present It contemplates divesting the question as far as possible of its partisann aspects, looking to tho law and the facts. The commission, it is presumed, will examine the votes cast in the disputed States with a searching scrutiny. Every illegality will be noted. Tho rascality in Loui sinna by which a largo Democratic majority was transformed into Republican majority on prtpel will be touched with the spear of Ithuricl. The kindred villany in Florida by which tho votes of cer tain counties were withheld from their rightful possessors by tho canvassing board will be revealed. If we aro rigbji in assuming that the gentlemen of tho commission composed of learned Judges, dignified Senators and astute Representatives will keep their accounts with conscience hon estly, then there will be no doubt that the eloction at the polls last November will stand. As we have hinted in a previous article, too much reliance must not be placed in tho majority of the Supremo Court. Still we feel, notwith standing this cautionary reflec tion, that somehow these very five members of the ' Bench who will sit in this "extra-judicial council will acquit themselves to the sat isfaction of their countrymen and the approval of their own con sciences. Several prominent journals show a disposition to sneer at the Wall Street prayer meetings. We know of no moro appropriate place for them to bo held on this sidoof the Atlantic, and if the power of prayer can do tUe den izens of Wall Street no good, nothing can.; ; Judge Davis of the Supreme Court of the United States, who has been elected Senator from Illinois, does not proposo to re sign his present office till the 4th of March. So that Grant will not have the .opportunity of appoint ing his successor. .
