n9r The Platform of the "New PARTY
just organized in Cincinnati, by ex-Secretary
Cox and other dissatisfied Republicans, has
been published in full. Its cardinal princi-
pies are general amnesty, tariff for revenue
only, civil service reform, and early resump-
ton Of specie payments. In each of these
particulars it puts itself in antagonism to the
prevailing sentiment of the republican party.
The new movement appears to create excite.
ment in tho republican ranks. It is very
forcibly and truly charged that the present
system of revenue promotes corruption and
plunder, increases the cost of living, cripples
our export trades, destroys our shipbuildiug,
aud paralyzes our industry, while creating
mOnopoIies and eutailing great expense aud
frauds in collection Of tho revenues of the
government.

TEE CORNER STONE.

Most of our readeas arc doubtless aware,
that the interesting ceremonies Of laying the
Corner Stone of the proposed monument to
the Confederate dead, buried in Edgehill
Cemetery, will take plsce on Wednesday 26th
instant. Extensive preparations have been
made for the reception Of the visitors who are
expected to be present on the occasion. The
Masonic Fraternity, under whose immediate
auspices the conduct and management of the
ceremonies of the day have been placed, are
expected to appear in large numbers as invi.
tatious have been sent to many of the Lodges
Of West Virgins, Virginia aud Maryland, and
some of these have already siguifed their ac-
ceptance.
The officers and soldiers of the late Confcd-
crate army within convenient distance from
our town will doubtless embrace the occasion
to pay their respects aud, reverence for the
memories Of their fallen comrades, over whose
hOnOTed graves this lasting testimonial to their
worth and valOr is to be erected.
Many whose names have been craven on
the history of the great contest in which tbev
were cOnsPicuOusly engaged have been es.
PScially invited, aud will doubtless some of
them be present.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company
have reduced their fare one third from Siras.

The city of Baltimore If the number of excur,

law, is, that acts Of the legislature are in ac-
cOTdance with the constitution. And a valid
act OF IegislatiOn-nay; even the judgment of
township justice, ia \ case in which he has
jurisdiction, is clothed with all the power Of
tue sovereign penple Of the state, aud Is Of the
same authority as the constitution ITSELF ''The
Board" continues wv" SO decided at It's re-
cent sessions" Oh wonderful Board But
will CIV" be kind enough to state, where and
when the Board, which has been decided by
the Court OF Appeals, sec. I'd. West Virginia,
Rep 1872, to be an inferior tribunal, received
authority to decide on the cOnstitutiouality or
unconstitutiOuaIity of acts of the legislature.
But enough OF this.
il seems TO me, then, that so far rs 4 fair
construction OF the constitution aud laws can
answer Anything, the questions with which
commenced this communication, are answered
-fully-fairly- Ii behind
these, there are others, have yet to hear
what they are. The law restoring the town.
ships uucOustitutiOnally consolidated in 1868,
to their respective POLITICAL positions aud
rights, is valid. The law giving to the Cow
ernor the right to appoint township officers
for all the restored townships, supervisors in
cluded, is not only constitutional, but was
made in accordance with the uUquestioned
aud unquestiOnable right of the legislature, as
exercised by them, uninterrruptedIy, since the
formation of the constitution. And the ap-
pOintnents by the Governor-of qualified
persons to fill those ofices-Were therefore
legal and valid.
l understand that a question has been
raised, as to the appointment by the Governor,
OF Mr.. Kern, to take the place of Mr. Gross,
on the ground, that the power of the Gov.
ernOr under the act, was ex hausted in the ap
POInImenis Of Osburn aud Cross THIS is
mere catching at straws an argument of des.
Peratiou. Even under the suggested con.
structIOn of the act the power IF the Gov
ern"r becomes exhausted only, when he has
filled the vacancies with legally qualified
office holders. As for instance should it ap
pear, that MIR. Kern is n nonresident. or an
alien, or otherwise disqualified, then, the duty
OF the Governor remains still unperfOrmed,
aud the power to appoint is still in his hands
There remains but one matter more to con.
slider. There cannot be two Boards of SUI
perTisors in one county, and there arc not in
this. A majority OF the legally constituted
