The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1870-04-23

In passing III review some of the acts
of local Importance, passed by the Legisla-
ture, in last weeks issue, we were led into
some errors by the Baltimore papers, which
published the list Of bills passed and those
failing in either house. Among the acts
reported passed by both houses was the
hog law for the First and Third Districts
The clause applying to the Third District
was stricken out at the instance of Mr.
Miller, Senator from this county. Our
report, or the report we followed, which
was the only one accessible, also stated
that the Enabling Act authorizing the
Maryland City Councils Of Baltimore to
guarantee Bonds for the Elkton and Mas
seys Railroad, passed the House but failed
in the Senate. Mr.. Miller states that the
Bill never reached the Senate, but was
defeated in the House. We believe that
Mr.. Miller always had the interest of his
constituents in view, and it is unfortunate
that the published reports appearing in the
papers Immediately after the adjournment
of the Legislature should have done him
injustice.

The School Law Condensed.

The supervision Of the public schools is
vested, first, in a State board, second, i'll 4
county board; third, in 4 school district
beard. The State board is composed OF
four persons appointed by the Governor,
from among the presidents and examiners
OF the several county boards, who hold
Office for two years. The principal Of the
State Normal School is, eX officio, 4 MEM
by Of said board, and is appointed by them.
The county board is composed Of three
persons, who are appointed by the Judges
of the Circuit Court, and hold Office for
two years. In counties having more than
one hundred schools, five commissioners
are to be appointed. The present county
school commissioners are to remain in Office
for the time fer which they were elected,
SO that the first appointments will take
place in January, 1872. The district boards
are composed of three persons for each
school, appointed by the county board of
school commissioners, and holding Office
for one year, beginning in May. The duties
of the county board and of the district
board are the same as under the law OF
1868. The State board has the general
supervision of the school system, with the
power to explain and enforce the law, and
to decide all disputed questions arising
under it. The county examiner has the
same duties as at present, but is requil ed
to devote his whole time to the service OF
the public schools. In counties having
more than IS schools an assistant examiner
may be appointed
The schools are to be kept open as here
tofore-ten months in the year-and il
they are not open for y months in any
calendar year, the comptroller is required
to withheld one quarterly installment OF
the public school tax. The county school
commissioners can levy Through the county
commissioners whatever tax is needed for
the support of the public schools; but il
the tax exceeds ten cents on tho hundred
dollars, the consent of the county commits
sioners is needed. Teachers certificates
remain in force for three years, as hereto
fore, but the State board can grant certii-
Gates which are good for life, Or during
good behavior. The o lnty board OF
school commissioners select textbooks for
their respective counties, and fur ish them
them to the schools on such terms as they
deem proper.

The Last of the Chivalry.

The Hon. Benjamin G. Harris, of St.
Mary's, announces himself as an independ-
ent candidate for Congress, and in the let
ter, reads the leaders of the Copperhead
party of Maryland severe lesson on their
moral cowardice, inconsistency and want
of principle. Tho leaders of that party re-
Gently held convention, and agreed that
it was bes. to accept the situation, and Mr..
Harris argues that by such step they have
placed themselves at the tail of the Radical
party: and that henceforth there can be
no perceptible difference pointed out to
designate them from the latter party. To
this mode of handing the august Demo
cratic party over to the Radicals, the Hon.
Ben. Harris takes exception, and declares
his unalterable opposition to the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments, and his firm
faith in, and adherence to, "white man
party Determined to organize opposi-
ton to this change Of front in the Demo-
cratic party, in the face of all their recent
declarations and protests against the FIT
teenth Amendment, the Hon. Ben calls
upon the people to rally to his standard.
The whole Copperhead party of Mary
land have been in an effervescing state since
the Proclamation of the President declaring
the Fifteenth Article of the Constitution
adopted. Some of their press have coun-
seled opposition, and dreamed of swhite
mans party; but the contemplation of a
solid celored vote against such an avowed
policy, and knowing how little the balance
of power portion of their party cared for
principle, the sober second thought has
