a Precedent or Two.

In the Supreme Court Of Wisconsin, IN
the case of The State and De Guentter Us'
Douglass, the court said:
alt is readily conceded that in case Of a
constitutional office, the tenure of which IS
prescribed by that instrument, the Les'sia-
ture cannot abridge the terms thereof, nor
transfer its duties to some other oFicer.".
In the case of State er rel. Kennedy us.
Brunst, the same high tribunal says:
"The Constitution provides that sheriffs
shall be chosen by the electors OF the re.
spective counties. once in every Two years."
Sc. "Now, it is quite true that lle Con-
stitution nowhere defines what powers,
rights, and duties shall attach or belong to
the office of sheriff. But there can be no
doubt that the trainers of the Constitution
had reference to the Office with those gene
rally recognized legal duties and functions
belonging to it in this country, and IN the
territory where the Constitution was adopt
ed" land it seems to US unreasonable to
hold under Constitution which lawfully
provides for the election OF sheritts, likes the
term of Office, &C., that the Legislature may
detach from the office cts duties ana juno
items, and transfer those duties to dnother
officer"
has attempted to take the largest share OF
The duties of the sheriff, in point of RESPONSE
bility and emoIument, and to commit it to
IN officer selected by the county board OF
supervisors. If the Legislature can do this,
why may it not deprive the sheriff of all J. the
duties and powers appertaining to his office,
and transfer them to some officer not chosen
by the electors?"
So the court decided that the law was

The Valley Railroad.

The proposition for the extension Of this
road from Salem to the Tennessee line finds
ITO favor with the Committee on Roads Of
the Senate, as it should find none in the Gen
eral Assembly Of Virginia.
This proposition has no claim to the favor
OF Virginia. Taken as coming from the Bal
timorc aud Ohio railroad, rs it does, 1t IS
bold ard presumptuous. But the wonder IS
that some of our own people in the valley are
coming forward to support the proposition.
And WHY? Would the extension of the
road add anything to their comfort, convent
euce, or thrift! Not that we can see =; ana
We speak with entire kindness and earnest
ness on this point.
The Intercourse of our Valley friends in
the direction of the Tennessee line will be
as complete without the extension OF the
Valley road as it could be with it. Then,
what do they want with it? 1t would
tpiure great road already built and impair
the prosperity and public revenue of Vir-
ginia, and would do them no good what
ever. Then, for what can they desire the
nroposed extension? We know they have
no fixed purpose to wrong their own State
and injure her people, and yet it is hard to
discover a motive for seeking measure
which, SO far as the people Of the Valley and
the State are concerned, can in no possible
way add one single benefit to them.
What Is it, then, that sends their repre-
seutatives here not only to beg the right OF
way for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
through the State, but that this right of way
may run near 10 and parallel with Virginia
road in which the State has invested mil
lloasy LISA bias Of feeling, Of partisanry, fol
the road nearest them. The strength Of this
bias amongst even intelligent people Is Won
dcrfuAly strong. 1t is amazing to see how il
often overrides the high sentiments of State
affection aud State pride. The citizens of 8
village traYersed by u railroad which seldom
adds much to their wealth. are Influenced by
sort of pride in the road that is akin to 6
feeling Of ownership. Those citizens OBJ

adopted PERRY's toast with a modification
"Our railroad, right or wrong"
Wetrust that our fellow-citizens of tn
Valley are too judicious and too devoted Il
Virginia to desire to see privileges hurtfu
to their fellow.citizsns and their State grant
ed to a railroad merely because 1t passes
through the bosom OF their beautiful coun'
try. Was it not enough that the golden
gates to their rich pastures were opened to
the Baltimore and Ohio road? And must

The CHICAGO WOVEN AND THE SUNDAY
LAW Chicago, March 1S.-A committee OF
ladies wuiIed on Mayor Colyin to-day and
endeavored 10 persuade him to veto the or
dinance passed by the City Council Monday
night allowing the saloons to be kept open
Sunday. The Mayor received the ladies with
the greatest politeness, but firmly declined to
veto the ordinance. saying the repeal of the
ordinance closing the saloons Sundays was
one of the main issues upon which he was
elected; that he bad pledged himself re.
peatedly during the canvass 10 use his iuflu-
ence Tor such repeal, and he could not now
honorably repndiate those promises.
