The Parkersburg Times suggests 10
the Constitutional Convention the adop'
ton Of provision giving to the IoV-
ernor of the State veto power upon
the acts of the Legislature. except
where such acts receive the concurrence
Of two-thirds OF the members of each
branch. The authors of the Virginia
Constitution, and that Of our own State
we're governed by the theory that the
members OF the Legislature, being
the immediate representatives OF the
people should be hampered and re-
stricted as little as possible. Executive
epcroachments was more feared than leg,
islative corruption, and accordingly the
Governor was rendered almost power
less to influence or shape the course OF
legislation. In more modern times,
however, experience has demonstrated
that the Legislature itself often needs
some check; something to prevent
Nasty, ill,considered, or corrupt enact
ments; and the veto power has
been found very useful to that end
The Illinois plan of a "dlscrlmli
mating veto" is probably the wises
and least Objectionable form in which
the power is conferred and exercised
By it, the Governor may veto one O
more provisions of an act and approx
the remainder, thus separating the goo'
from the bad and requiring two'third
vote to restore and enforce the obJet
tionable clauses Of the bill. We ca
the attention OF the members OF tn
Convention to the subject and trust tina
, it may meet with due consideration.

Our strongest, and l might almost

any one suppose she.will relinquish this
monopoly without a struggle? This IS,
emphatically, a lius company, and,
whilst we are doing comparatively
nothing, she is exerting every influence
she can bring to bear, either directly or
indirectly, against it. AT least three
fourths of all the opposition votes can
be traced to this source.

REPRESENTATION.
West Virginia Immigration-Nh
We Need.

BY TIE COMMISSIONER OF IMMIGRATION.
When looking at the trains filled
with immigrants going to the west,
one would think it strange that West
Virginia possessed of natural advan.
tages unsurpassed in the world, should
be so far behind the other States less
favored by Providence in wealth. Its
true, we make fine crops OF wheat, corn,
oats and tobacco. 1t is true we are
strangely attached to business, but we
give too little heed to the practical pro.
gressive lessons OF improvement and
promotion. Where are the great
cities our natural advantages ought
to create? Where are our large
towns and growing villages ? They are
not Aud why? Because West Viz.
gnia with all her vast territory of fertile
soil suited to the growth Of almost any
thing and everything that the earth
produces for man and beast with her
genial, healthful climate, her water
power, her rivers, her hundreds ofmiles
Of mining lands, her forests full of every
variety OF timher-never awakened to
an appreciation OF her unrivalled re-
sources; because our people have not
caught the enterprising spirit that
enabled other States to sweep by us
and leave us lingering in the rear-be-
cause We neglected to establish manu-.
ufactories aud to increase our COM
merce.
We are in want of immigration from
other States of our own country and
from Europe.
There are in West Virginia thousands
Of acres lying idle, Improbable to the
owner, and source Of poverty rather
han profit.
We can have immigration if the
citizens will 90 hand in hand with the
If We will all encour-
'ge immigration-which the best could
,e done-by forming an Immigration
society" for our State; and then in co.
operation with the officials OF the State,
We will have towns and villages as
numerous and prosperous as those in
he North and West. We shall have
actories, as they have them there. But
il this can only be accomplished by
boxing to the front, and moving for

THE RAILROAD TAX.

The First Branch of the City Council
finally passed last night the resolution
exempting the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road property from taxation, and th'
question is no longer open for consider
alton. We have already expressed oul
opinion that the proposition made by
the railroad company is an advan
tageous one to the city, and we are
glad to find that the Council has taken
the same view of the subject. 1t now
remains for the parties who are author
lied TO enter into a contract with the
railroad company on behalf of the
city and county to see that the
consideration on account OF which
this exemption has been voted is
plainly and distinctly nominal
ed in the bond" Let the contract
set forth so explicitly and Enthusiastically
what the railroad company is to do, as
to leave no room for bubbles or tech
ncali,ies as to its meaning or for defeat
ing what is the distinct understanding
and expectation Of the people. The
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
just like ANY other corporation or indi-
yidual, will take advantage of flaw
in a contract when it can, and it be-
hooves those having the matter in
charge to see that the written agreement
is such plain one that there can be
no mistake as to its terms and that it
is so signed as to leave room for no
question as to the authority OF the
parties to make it.
Some OF the amendments offered to
the resolution in the Council last night,
Tor instance, that in relation to rates OF
freight aud to prevent unjust discrimi-
tons against Wheeling trade, are very
desirable in themselves and have our
hearty approval. The effort to tack
them to the resolution for exemption
was, however, for the purpose of defeat
ing the whole proposition. You cannot
accomplish everything you want by a
single ordinance Of the City Council, or
obtain all at once all the benefits sought
from the railroad We trust that the
Legislature this winter will take hold OF
the question Of freight discrimination
and remedy the evil our people so Justly
complain Of in this regard. But the
lacking Of this amendment to the reso-
luton adopted last night would have
resulted not only in failure to secure
the Improvement Of the shops as pro-
posed by the company, but also would
have been utterly ruthless of any
reliefin the matter of freight charges.
Let us secure one thing at time
rather than by grasping for too much
fail to obtain anything at all.
