THs OLD AND NEW CHARTER.

A friend, a member Of the bar, has
collated for US the provisions Of the Old
and New Charter. where they differ in |
their grants Of power. We print them
in parallel columns, that the comparison
may be made at a glance. 1t will be
noticed that the difference in the powers
which the two instruments confer upon
the city, in relation to the most impor-
tant matters-the licensing Of the sale
Of liquor, and the support Of schools-is
but slight in the forms Of the two grants.
The grant of the power in the Old Char
ter is not more full and explicit than in
the new law--but the new law has been
declared by the Supreme Court to be
violation Of the new constitution. 1t is
therefore a dead letter--a nullity. But
our Charter is older than the new con-
stitution. It's conditions are not affect
ed by it; they therefore cannot be
decreed unconstitutional. II is living
law, that cannot be taken from u.s.
Those who declare that our schools can
he maintained under the New Charter,
as we'll as the Old, are guilty Of gross
deception and falsehood. They quote
the text Of the new law to their listeners,
and compare it with the Old Charter,
and the difference is not very apparent;
but they fail to tell those whom they
would deceive, that one is dead ard the
other living, operative law, that can be
enforced--while the other is void. Un-
der the same Charter that we are urged
to adopt, the schools in all the cities oil
this State--except our own--were clos
ed in one week after the recent decision
Of the Supreme Court. Adopt the New
Charter, and as sure as the sun light:
the morning horizon, our Public Schools
will be closed before the succeeding
Saturday night.
We most earnestly beg every voter t.
compare the provisions Of the two Char
ters, and examine to find il there be any
thing in the New, for which we SHOULD
throw away the peculiar privileges w
possess under the Old. Let him see
there is anything in it for which he woul'
exchange our estimablc system of Ere
Schools.
A case is now pending before the Su
preme Court in which the power to Ia,
licenses under the Now City Charter
likely to be declared unconstitutional
No good lawyer has any doubt Of tn
result; If defeated. as it will be, and W
adopt the New Charter, then we sha
have lost the great object for which tn
friends of the New Charter urge it upo
us. We shall have no more right to Ia
liquor shops. than we have now. w
shall have lost our Free Schools, an
gained nothing.
