We had hoped that the outrageous propoposi-
ton introduced into the House, short time |
since, to nullify the declared will of the people,
as expressed through the recently adopted Con- |
stitutional amendment making Commissioners |
OF Insolvency elective by the people, by creating
Court of Insolvency the Judge of which is TO
perform the duties now devolying on the Com.
missioner, and TO be appointed by the Governor,
and hold his office during life. We had hoped that
the bill proposing so Unprecedented scheme as
this, had met with such general rebuke from
the press and the people, that it would not be
heard from again. But it seems we were mistak-
en-. 1t was taken up on Wednesday afternoon.
and, after debate, in which none too much spirit
was manifested on the part of its opponents,
actually passed to third readingi As the Gard
nerites have majority in both branches, it is
feared this infamous scheme OF his Excelency to
saddle some of his special favortes with life ten
ures of office, may slide through and become
law
| We rejoice to perceive that Mr. TAFT, of this
city, proposed to stab the thing, by moving an
amendment to the bill, that the judges and regis
tiers thereby consttuted,Je elected by the people.
But this was speedily voted down. If there is any
regard for the popular will, as constitntionally
expressed yet lingering in the Legislature, it is
hoped spirit will yet be aroused, sufficient to
put quietus to so diabolical proposition. 1t is
gross fraud upon the people of the State, and
as such should be met and resisted by all the
facts and eloquence which can be brought to bear
upon the matter. The selfish sneaking policy of
Gardnersm looms up in every one of its AZ Sec
tions
For that class of men who favor the consum-
nation of this cunning dodge to get round the
constitution, no more authoritative text book oil
correct doctrine probably, can be adduced, than
the minority report Of the Committee on the Per-

that statute, at the suggestion OF Gov Gardner.
