they would ultimately qualify. The
time fixed by former Act of the Legis
lature within which they were required
to qualify; had expired, and theft dlti.
mate qualification was only under a
subsequent Enabling Act, extending the
time.
The.action, then, of the Old Board,
in clectins AID putting in Office gu
perintendent Of the Poor. House, it is
alleged, was legitimate and necessary,
iuasnuch as The term of. the incumbent
expired previous to the time at which
they vacated their Offices, and action in
the premises became imperative.
Assuming that the election vas legiti-
mate, and that the late Superintendent,
Mr.. TRouBLErlELD, was properly and
legally in the discharge of the duties of
the position, and had entered upon the
same for the term ofone year, for which
he had been so elected, the question is
raised, and We think naturally, as to
how he was displdcedj or induced to
rEelinquish his rights and duties in the
prcmises?, Statements have been made
20 us, as to how this was accomplished,
some of which are prejudicial to up
right bearing and honest administration;
but as We cannot.speak from the record
upon This point, We pass it BY, with this
femark: That had the incumbent been
removed, and another, an outsider, and
not a member ofMe Board, been in
stalled iu his place, there would have
been but comparatively little ground
for unfavorable criticism, however much
basis there might have been for legal
action.
But the incumbent-an honest man,
and successful and acceptable Superin-
tendent, as far as we have learned-was
removed, and a member of the Board,
one Of the County Commissioners, now
occupies his place. This is fact and
speaks for itself. Whether the former
officer was removed BY the Commits
sioners, specifically to the end that one
cftheir asnaber might take his place, We
shall not undertake to say.
But the fact is apparent, at least,
that the Commissioners did vote for and
elect oue !Off their awu number to the
place, and that she member elec. voted
for himself We here also pass over,xhai
might be.urged in arraigumept, IN .joro,
corscientig-vhatm might be said about
the delicacy or difficulty. of taking
position which involved ones owR vote,
slfen but three votes could be cast.
And we come, now, 70 probably the
leading point of objection urged: The
fact that the: Superintendent of The Poor
