THE WEST VIRGINIA CASES.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Commercial says that on
Monday "the effort to get the West
Virginia contested election cases before
the House, proved unsuccessful, but be-
ing questions Of high privilege, they
may be taken up on Tuesday. From
present indications it seems probable
that unless shut off by the previous
question, debate upon these cases would
continue a whole week, so widely do
some members differ in opinion and

The Richmond Wing states that in
conversation ct one time with Hon.
JOHN b. BALDWIN in relation to the
COMMITTEE of nine" movement then
being first discussed, Mr.. BALDWIN said:
MARK my prediction, this movement if
judiciously piloted will result in sue
cess, the State will be admitted, and we
will once again be free to select our
own officials" but, he continued, "let
no man take part in it who is not pre-
pared to sacrifice his political future for
the good Of the Stale, for when the VIC
tory is won and the State once again
freed from her shackles, the very men
who now stand coldly by and refuse
their countenspce and support will be
the first to claim all the rewards to be
bestowed, and will sneerirgly point to
those to whom they are indebted for
their freedom as dirt eaters. to whose
custody the honor o. the State should
not be entrusted"
Mr.. BALDwIN's prediction showed
rare political sagacity and knowledge
of human nature. 1t was verified in
Virginia and would have been equally
true if spoken in reference to those who
in West Virgins labored first and most
zealously and effectively for the re-
demption of the State AID the en!rans
chisement of it's citizens.

WHEELING, January H..
Editors Of the Register:
have scanned the well preparedre>
port OF the City Clerk with some degree
of interest, but fail to find one or two
items which it seems to me ought to
have a place somewhere under the
head OF expenditures" While the
salaries and fees OF all other officials
are given, there seems to be nothing
going to show the commissions paid to
Collectors and Assessors. There may
be good reasons for the omission, but
these officers having been paid from
the money collected in the way OF tax
from the property owners Of the city, ]
fail to see why the amount paid to
them should not appear in some shape
under the head Of expenditures"

SLEraHs AND STREET CARs-Yesterday was
q good day for sleighs, but bad day for
street cars. The merry Naturalization ofthe
bells was heard in the streets and suburbs,
and New York had carnival Of sleighing
not equalled for years. But the snow which
gave so much pleasure in this way was the
cause of equal trouble and discomfort to
pedestrians and passengers in the cars. The
interruption to travel on the principal avenues
was very great and if we hope that Mayor.
elect Wickham was one OF the sufferers for tho
want of rapid transit we trust that we shall
not be considered malicious. We only desire
that as municipal official he may appreciate
the misfortunes of the people.
The New York herald., 1874-12-22
IN. Dangers Of IN. ssss.s cars.

A vigilance committee would bs 8 strange
thing in New York. Yet 1t is not among the
impossible municipal reforms, and if the
present management of our street cars Is con-
tinued it may some day be necessity. A
street car should be as safe as the sidewalk,
yet upon some of the lines 1t is notoriously
danger. Outrages and thefts are not uncon.
mon on the cars, and many insults and as
saults happen which are never reported by
the police and are not published by the
papers. OF some of these occurrences va
present report to-day, which clearly proves
that some of the leading routes of travel are
the favorite fields OF the roughs and ths
pickpockets of New York. The indifer
ence of some of the car conductors ia
the comfort and safety of the passen-
gers gives occasion for strong suspicious
of their integrity. Undoubtedly some Of
these officials are either in terror Of the
thieves and ruffians or in league with
them; and in this day of systematic crime
there is good reason to believe that the pick
pockets have delegated some of their com.
rades to aid them as conductors or drivers.
Men who use private bell punches to defraud
their employers are capable of aiding other
thieves to rob the passengers they should and
could protect. On no other theory can thu
frequent thefts and assaults upon citizens in
the street cars be explained. Judge Daily has
demanded that mounted police shall be en-
ployed on Madison avenue, and the narratives
of our reporters to-day show that some meas
ure of the kind is obligatory upon the Com
missioners or Superintendent. If we cannot
have rapid transit in New York. at least our
slow and wearisome travel should be made
safe by the authorities.
The New York herald., 1874-12-22

that the Supreme Court should have any
voice whatever in the canvass for the Presi-
dency. The proposal Is that the Supreme
Court should determine the canvass and issue
the certificate of election. This is ministe-
rial function, and should not be imposed upon
the courts Our Supreme Court cannot be
kept too far away from legislation
or the exercise of any direct ministerial
or political power The trouble with
the Mexican system of republicanism
arises largely from the connection between
the Supreme Court and the Presidency. 1t
would be much better to adopt an amendment
forbidding any judge on the Supreme Bench
to be candidate for Office at the pain of for
feiting his judgeship. These, however, are
criticisms affecting that part Of Mr.. Wright's
amendment that goes outside of the one real
living point at issue. We do not want
widely-sweeping measure of radical legisla-
ton. In all matters of this kind we must set
tie one point at time; and the point now is
C@sarism. Let US have an amendment ex-
pressing this simple idea, that no persons
elected to the Office of President or Vice Presi-
same Offices. This is plain, clear.cut
and comprehensive. It is the issue which
was decided at the last election, and
democrats as well as republicans can
have no sincere hesitancy in at once
giving voice to it. In New York we found it
necessary in the Office of the Sheriff fearing
that the possession of so much power by any
officer would lead him to use it corruptly or
tyrannically, in the hope Of retaining
power. If these arguments have force
when applied to simple local Office,
with how much more force do they apply to
the President, who commands q hundred
thousand ofice-holders and the disbursement
of millions! Democrats and republicans are
alike on the record in favor of the simple
proposition we submit. If General Grants
friends say that the third term suggestion is a
dishonorable one and a reflection on his
patriotism they cannot hesitate to vote for the
one term amendment, which will protect ell
future Presidents from the same injustice. If
they oppose the measure, then let them 60 on
the record as advocates of C@sarism whenever
Caesar comes. As it is. there is no reason why
true patriots in Congress should not press this
amendment to immediate discussion. The
country has decided the question, and Con-
gress cannot dare to ignore the voice of the
country. Upon the democrats rests the i'm
mediate responsibility. Let them begin the
agitation and we shall see if the republicans
will avoid the issue.
