Executive DspFtment.

CAec1iive Department.
EE The committee othe executive de-
partme INT have made rport in which they
recommend the abolitio of the Office of
Lieutenant Governor al the investing the
Governor with qualiEd ueto on the acts
Of the legislature, so asto req1ire ma
jority of two thirds to PISS law over his
ucto. 81
We heartily approve of both of these
changes. The office oiLientcnant Cover
nor was never known b Maryland, until
created by the constitution of 1875 1 in ini-
tation of the constitutions of most of the
Northern Statos. TITS a. mere sinecure
at best in this State, and we would be
glad to see it abolishd
The giving of Il qialifed veto to the
Governor is measrc which also com
meuds itself to our unqualified approval
1t is most useful an6 effactual restraint
upon hasty or carcEss legislation and
though it is power which it is easy to
conceive of as capable of being abused in
the hands of a corrupt Executive, yet the
abuse of a eoodthing il no argument against
its proper use. THERE'S very.little danger
to be apprehended i, this 'fast' age, by
increasing the powers of the Executive
branch of the Government, while the ma
tural tendency of 'ie legislature or the
popular branch of the government, to pro,
ceed from liberty to license, seems to re-
quire more than ever, wholesome check
and restraint upon them.
The last legislature of Maryland, COM
posed in great part Of the bast and most
intelligent men of the State, afor ded
several striking illustrations OF the fault to
which We have previously allulo of care
less legislation.
For example, one of the first bills
brought before that body was an act for
holding new municipal election in Balti-
more city. The bill was passed, then re-
pcaled, another proposed, postponed and
finally def 'ated, and all on account of a
defect in the original bill which child
might have detected in reading it over.
Again they undertook to pass law for
the suppression of the medical quacks and
impostors that have been such curse and
disgrace to our State. The law provided
for the app Din tment of a board Of IN slical
Examiners in tie different counties who,
were authorized to issue licenses to prac-
tice medicine only to such persons as
should prove that they were gralu ties of
some respectable Medical College. The
liffei ent Boards of Examiners throughout
the State, had we believe commenced
their work of issuing licenses; when the
Baltimore papers announce that it has been
suddenly discovered that the law is void
IN account OF its having omitted the cu-
acting clause.
If the acts OF Ass ,m5ly were submitted
- the revision OF the Gaysraor with author
ity In him to approve or r-tjoOs r'l5Tzs
veto; such instances of cllpably careless
| gi,l,tioa would v,ry rarely occur

Deposition of the Mayer and City
. Council Of Baltimore

&c" Y petition is new baing signed in
Baltimore City, to be presented to- the
President and IN embers of the Convention
at Annapolis, in which it is set forth that
the present acting NJ 'yor anl m,mb,r' Of
the First AMI Second Branches Of the City
Council are not the Choice of majority Of
the voters OF b lltim,re; and that at the
last municipal election many of the regis
tered voters were deniel til, ,is votes, and
chat out of a legal voting popalation large
Iy excee ling thirty thousand, the present
municipal officers received less than one
sixth of that number The petition then
prays that the Convention make provision
in the Constitution for municipal election
in Baltimore, to be held on day as soon
after the aloptian of the Constitution by
vote of the people, as to the members of
the Convention may seem best.
Several bills to secure the accomplish
ment OF the same desirable end were pro-
posed at the last session of the NJ .ryland
Legislature, and one certainly was passed
fixing the day for new election. Owing
however to some legislative bun Cling or
too great haste is getting up the bill, it
was found to be in conflict with the pro-
visions of the Constitution and therefore
repealed AMI although several bills for
the accomplishment Of the same purpose
we're introduced, there were none of the EN-
finally passed. Meanwhile the citiz ems e f
Baltimore have been safering as patient
ly as possible, the disgusting aul loath-
some incubus imposed upon them in the
shape of municipal government.
We sincerely hope that the Convention
will extend to the petitioners the relief
which they seek
