Town, an assembly AiSCTlCt, duu d oeHate
district coincide, the change of the town
line may enlarge or diminish the area and
population of the districts, and is there
fore likely, especially in the case of sen
ate districts, often EN- bracing several coun-
ties and parts of counties, to affect direct
ly the rights of inhabitants of other
counties. These might retaliate or strive
to gain compromising advantages by SINH
lar proceedings. The result would be
perpetual strife and impenetrable chaos.
A bare suggestion of such probabilities
proves the necessity of combining the pow
ers of the county board to those subjects
which are in every point OF view within
the constitutional requirement, and clear
ly "of local character"
If the statute especially conferred upon
county boards authority to change the
boundaries of assembly districts, the
courts, which declare no enactment IN.
constitutional except in cases free from
reasonable doubt, might not feel justified
| in overriding the legislative intention, up
| ON the grounds have suggested, but they
are entitled to great weight in determin-
ing the true meaning of the language used
| by the lawmakers.
| A different rule obtains 10 constructing
statutes from that which applies to ques-
lions of legislative power. In the latter
case, the judgment of the coordinate
branch of the government as to the extent
of its powers. clearly expressed in stat
ute, is entitled to great respect from judi
cial tribunals, and is not to be set aside
bu. for imperative reasons. But grant
of extraordinary special powers like thai
in question, should not be extended be-
yond the limit to which the Legislature
clearly design to carry it, and doubtful
questions are to be resolved rather in (
restrictive than an charging sense. I'm
less it appears that the jurisdiction claim
ed was designed to be conferred, it is no
to be given by implication. In view

QCL1.
Ny friends, when In an after age. the his
American history, he Will be forced to de-
clare that nothing has been recorded in the
worlds annals like the changes which the
feelings and opinions Of loyal Americans
have from time to time undergone, within
tie brief period Of thirty-sfH months. They
have not been the slow and d1abored mutations
Of years, nor the lees tardy transformation Of
yes, from week to week, as the ever chang
ing tide OF aflairs has rushed by them, men
hare put aside former views, and embraced
Others to which they. had previously been
strangers. This Bns no weakness or rascIl-
lation, bnt tho obedience Of the emancipated
judgment to the impress Of the times. And
not the least remarkable, and certainly, to
every patriot, the most cheering and inspir1a
ing fenture Of these ka1aid doscOpfc movements
OF the public mind, was this, that there was
no step backward. From the dny Of the seces-
sion Of South Carolina to this, the loyal
mind Of the nation hos moved steadily for
ward; not always rapidly, not always conf
IDENTIFY. but always resolutely and sternly
forward.
In the beginning our grentest statesmen
were willing to make, and did make, conces-
efone to Southern fcrocity for the sake Of
peace, which few would now venture to sup
port or propose Then, and long after actual

tion, and astounled the world; but you did
hear much Of the Abolitionists as its pro-
xokers and abettors, until 1t really seemed
That they would be written down the head
devils Of this civil strife, and the rebel lead
ers be canonized as heroic saints In the mar
t{rology Of liberty. No wonder this, for the
North had not yct begun to cast off the fet-
ters with which, from the foundation Of the
Government, the South lad most adroitly
bound 1t to The cause OF slavery. Do. yo1
not remember the promptuess with which the
1nsldent, in September, 1861, commanded
Fremont TO revoke his general order ::declar-
Ing that the Slaves Of rebels should be freed
in Aay. 1662, annulling Hunters declaration
. Of freedom to the slaves in South Carolina,

at that time, far in advance of such an expo
dent as that, Slavery was fighting for Its
Own dominion and perpetufty, not for pay
ment for the freedom Of its Slaves; md the
liberty, not for the privilege Of buying sldre1y
ont; md this plan Of emancipation fell still
born from the Presidents pen. The fero-
cious and implacable South gave no signs Of
needing It and to the question " Can we all
do betterr' the loyal States thundered
back, y Yes, a Mo.tsand times better; fight Il
otst, fight it out, till rebellion and slasr1y are
g,cu,td unto aa4sf together" Tremendous
app1ause.] And the. loyal States went on
fighting, ana will keep on fighting, till in
that dust shall be written by the finger Of
time the warning legend of all the future,
:" ExT1Ecr FoREVER!" ~.
One more reference to history viii finish
ending of the three Jears of war, whose last
weeks arc now passing away. No authorfta-
live expression In regard to the object Of the
United. States in prosecuting this war, has

very much the same sort of people we
have often seen pass through this city on
their way to settle in Arkansas. At one
/ period it appeared likely that the very
| strong efforts made by them would be
successful in introducing slavery into
the State. 1t is not more than a dozen
or fifteen years ago, since Mr.. Gray, of
GRANVILLE, near the Wabash, had ten
slaves, which he held by taking them
over to Kentucky once a year. His ne.
groes were as safely in his possession
there as they would have been on the Ken
lucky side. A fact like this, makes it
easy understood why there is much I'M
soundness in the State. The vote of the
class we have named is often locally i'm

toned above, number of the class of
men we speak of lived together near
Burks Prairie, in Edwards county.

Minutes of May 2, 1868, were read and

the number of children attending the
public schools, it has become necessary

tons Addition, being on the corner of
Second and Division Streets, could be
purchased for So, $50 00-one-third cash
and the remainder in Is and 80 months,
with interest.
Mr. Wheeler, the Trustee of Public
Schools, being present, explained the
necessity for another school house, and
stated that if the City would purchase
the ground he would have the building
erected without asking any appropriation
from the City; or if he found it neces-
to call upon the City for any appropria-
ton, he would do so before completing
the contract for the erection of the build
ing.
On motion of Councilman Elliott, il
was ordered that the Mayor be author
