The Board of Educntion.

A correspondent this morning discusses
the status of the Board of Education as at
present constituted, and concludes that all
the acts OF the Board since the January
reorganization are invalid, and that con.
seqnently we have now no City Superin.
tcndcnt OF Schools. We have not had
time TO examine the question carefully,
but venture to suggest that the case may
not be just as "Speck" views it, though
at first blush his view of it is plausible.
1t is not absolutely clear that the general
provision of the Code is repealed by that
section of the act of March, 1871, relating
to the terms of commissioners in this dis
trict for though il provides that the terms
ol commissioners elected last October
shall end on the first Monday of July,
1915, it does not directly provide when
they begin. The inference is that they
begin in July, hut we believe there
have been similar cisCs where such
inference was not sustained in legal de-
cisions. But granting that the new
Commissioners had no authority TO as
sumo their offices in January under the
Code, the conclusions drawn by our cor.
respondent do not all follow. Some Of
the acts oEthc Board may be illegal and
some may not. The members Of the
Board whose terms did not expire consti.
tutc more than a majority (ncarly two.
thirds) of the body. Tho status of the
Board as y wholcis not affected by that
ol the remaining third. Whatever
act has been done by the con-
currcncc of enough Of the old members
to constitute majority Of the quorum
present is unQuestlonably legal and valid,
just as if II third Of the seats were vacsnt
or the righttul occupants thereof absent.
Whatever has been done where the votes
Of new members decided the result Is in.
valid, surprising they are not rightful
membes, Whether Mr. WILLIAMS re.
election was valid would depend therefore
on the vote he received But IL It is
lound invalid, he is still Superintendent
as much as ever he was; for by the law Of
the State his term Is extended till his sue.
cesSor is qualified. So in regard to the
old members whose terms expired with
1871. If it be found that their successors
are without authority to act till July, the
term Of the old members is extended till
that time,
Our conclusion must therefore differ
from that drawn by our correspondent
: There has been no lapse of the Board
There is legal Board, leaving tht

Our correspondent, panhandle" re.
fers to a matter over which people here
and especially our Democratic fellow
citizens, just now feel very sore. The
highjoint committeeman who went to
Charleston to invite the Convention to
remove to this city, came back day or
two ago (some Of them), wiser and
madder men than they went away.
They were not angry with the Conven-
tion or with the good people of Charles.
ton, but were boiling with rage to find
that they had been betrayed in the house
of their friends.
They found portion Of the Ohio
county delegation consorting and bar
gaining and cooperating with the parti.
sans of Charleston to defeat the removal
Of the Convention to this city; and they
declare that Wheeling has been sold out
by its own representatives. The
statements of Mr.. FITzuUGu in
the Convention, alluded to by "Pan-
handle" that a pledge was given
last winter by distinguished gentleman
from the Panhandle that if convention
were called the capital question should
not be touched, are known to point to Mr..
BAKER, our Senator, as the distinguished
gentleman who gave that pledge. One
account is that Mr.. FGTzHUGH, being call.
cd on by Mr.. GALLAHER, OF Marshall, tor
the hamc, named Mr.. BAKER as the man.
Be that as it may, it is well understood at
Charleston that he is the gentleman allu
ded to by Mr., FITZHuGH as having made
the pledge. The only remaining question
people in this part Of the State will care
to ask, is what authority had Mr.. BAKER
or anybody else to make such a pledge ?
And will they in their future action ac-
quiesce in and ratify it?
We cannot doubt that the intelligent
people Of Ohio county, whose attitude
during the rebellion was one of exalted
patriotism and OF unllinching loyalty to
the Union, will feel proud Of their youth
full representative in the Convention when
they read of his exploit in moving to
change the names Of Grant aud Lincoln
counties 10 Lee aud Davis-both for the
patriotic sentiment and Tor the knowledge
of legislative business it displays. The
young man deserves some mark of popular
approbstion-say d button. A whole
string OF buttons would not be too many. |
