EunefaI OF ArcnDiBnOpSp SphIuinS.
BALTIMORE, Nd, February l2.-The
funeral of the Most Reverend Martin
John Spalding, Archbishop Of Balti-
more, took place this morning at ten
o'clock. The body, after being en-
balmed, had been lying in state at his
late residence on North Charles street

by thousands, of all classes and denom-
nations. At an early hour this morn

The Weather and River.

CINCINNATI, February l2.-The ice
in the river started this morning, but
has gorged heavily at the foot of Wal;
nut street. A heavy gorge is reported
few miles up the river. The Bostona
left Portsmouth to day, coming down,
the first boat for two or three weeks. Ii
is thought she will start the gorge
above the city and thus result in the
starting of the gorge at Walnut street.
Considerable anxiety is felt by steam
boat owners, as it is reported that the
ice in Licking river is about starting
which, if it all comes at once, may
shoot across the river into the steam
boats, as in 1856, at which time great
damage was done. 1t is probable
thoug h, that the ice in the Ohio will be
running freely before the Licking breaks
up.

other extracts from the same report, un'
til the greater. or most important portion
Of the document has been given to our

throughout the State in public school

There is no other department
Of public affairs in which
SO much popular interest is felt as in
this and there is none whose operations

only with the u,most care ana make
only such changes as experience has
plainly shown will enure to the advan-

The report of the Convention COM
mi,tee on the Executive Department of
the State government, is intended to
take the place of the Fifth Article OF
the present Constitution. The most
prominent changes 1t makes are that 1t
provides for the election of a Lieutenant
Go,ernor that the term Of office ls
made four years instead Of two; that
the State officers enter upon their duties
on the second Monday Of January, in
stead OF at different times, as now; that
the Secretary of State is required to
perform the duties OF State Superin-
tendent OF Free Schools; and that the
Governor is invested with a limited
veto power over the acts Of the Legisla-
ture. There are other changes Of minor
importance. The report will doubtless
incur opposition in some Of its features,
and may be considerably modified before
adoption by the Convention.
The provision for the office of Lieu
tenant Governor is one of at least
doubtful propriety, that functionary
being rather more ornamental than
useful in the working OF the State
Government In case Of the death or
removal of the Governor during his
term Of office, the Lieutenant Governor
succeeds to that position, but beside
this his only duty prescribed by the
Constition is to preside over the Senate
when that body is in session, for which
service he is to receive the same pay as
the Speaker Of the House OF Delegates
We do not see very clearly the neces
sity for or utility OF the office, for Ger
tainly member OF the Senate is az
well qualified to preside over that bod,
as member of the House is to bs
Speaker. Hi. power Of giving cast
ing vote is also worthy Of question
He represents no constituency, and ha
received no direct authority form tn,
people, and, in view of the tendency o
legislative bodies.to enact too man,
laws, it seems to us that the old rule o
permitting tie vote to negatives prop
osition is very wholesome, AM
auseful check.
The veto power given to the Cover
nor is so closely limitedas to be prac
tically unobjectionable. 1t merely
permits the Governor to call the atteu
ton of the Legislature more closely t
an act that may have been hastily an
lnjudiciously passed and submits tn
question TO another vote. The sam
vote that was originally necessary
pass the bill will be sufficient to do 30
second time, Notwithstanding the Go,
ernors objection. The ,discriminstin

Destructive Fire.

DuBuQUE, February IA fire at
Monticello, Iowa, Sunday morning,
destroyed the planning and Touring mill
of Frostwood & Co. Loss 81, 900; no
insurance. Three houses were also
consumed. Loss $1,000. They con-
tanned 10000 bushels OF grain, which
was damaged about half its value. The
foundry OF Dexter W. Page was entirely
consumed. Loss $1,000; no insurance.
One or two small buildings were also
burned. Total loss $4,000, on which
there is only $1,000 insurance.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1872-02-13

veto over appropriation bills is gooc
thing. 1t is often the case that impropeI
appropriations are passed lest their ad
vocates should defeat others that are
necessary and proper. The Governor
may designate those that he thinks
should not be made, and thus submit
them to the ordeal of separate vote
upon their own merits.
The lengthening Of the term OF office,
will, we believe meet with general ap.
proval. 1t seems TO be agreed that the
Legislature shall meet biennially in
regular session, and this being the case
the lengthening Of the term of the State
officers is naturally suggested. We have
too many elections and too frequent
changes in office. Where an officer has
numerous and complicated duties to
perform, he does not become thourough-
ly acquainted with the requirements Of
his place before new election is held.
No prudent business man would put his
books in charge of new and inexperi-
enced accountant at the expiration OF
every two years; and yet that is what
we have been doing with the offices OF
the State. By making the term Of
Office four years instead Of two we Sc
cure three years Of experienced service
in each term, instead OF only one as
now, for the first year is largely spent
in acquiring familiarity with the re-
quirements of the Office and it cannot
be fairly expected that the duties Of the
officer will be quite as intelligently per
formed during that year as during the
succeeding ones Of his term.
The proposition to place upon the
Secretary of State the duties of State
Superintendent of Free Schools, is ad-
ding the greater to the less. The Su-
periutendent has in his own department
quite as much as any man can do, and
in addition to his appropriate duties he
was, last winter, made Adjutant Gen.
eral o. the State. Itis now proposed to
hand over to the Secretary OF State the
duties OF these two offices in addition to
his own! 1t would probably be bet
ter arrangement to require the Secretary
of State to act as Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, or Treasurer, or indeed to
attach all three of these offices to the
Secretaryship; or the distinct duties Of
the Secretarys office may be added to
those of one of the other offices; but the
~ Schools has his
lids full if he performs the duties re
,uired Of him by law, and which orrN-
.ience has everywhere shown to be
necessary to the success of the public
schools. His office cannot be abolished
without serious detriment to the sys.
lem, nor can the duties of other officers
of State be discharged by him without
injury to the special interests he is
chosen to guard. Above all things, let
the Convention amend the report Of the
committee in this respect. The people
OF the State will not rest satisfied with
the crippling Of the free schools that
must result from this measure, and no
Constitution that contains so objection
BILE a feature is likely to meet with
popular approval.
