means of perjury to swell the accounts.
Decidedly the most interesting feature of
yesterdays proceedings before the Advisory
Council was an eloquent Outburst from MI
Beecher discamine any wish or effort to conceal
facts, and urging full and minute inquiry. The
Council is certainly doing its best to give far
ness to its work by calling for evidence on
both sides, and it is rather matter for regret
that Drs Storr3 and Burlington declined yes
terday to accept a courteous invitation to APP
pear as witnesses. Mr.. BOwen's examination
during the evening session was not on a point
of general interest, though quite pertinent to
the issues tried by the Council.
It looks as if the Legislature meant TO re-
move the Kings County Commissioners OF
Charities. Their inefficency, extravaganza, and
neglect are notorious. and have been fully
established by investigation. The present
members would never have been elected had
their names not been on the Democratic State
ticket Mr.. Bigelow and MIR. Fairclild carried
through these creatures of Boss Mclaughlin.
They were all he saved from the wreck Of last
November, and that was only 10y the skin of
the teeth. The Commissioners were not sup
ported by the organs of their party, and their
nomination was dictated by the late Boss.
Mach as we deprccatc special legislation ut
Albany for this or any other city. we should
shed no tears over the downfall of Norris and
Began Whether the Legislature can afford to
do it with the appointment of successors in
the hands of a Republican Mayor is another
question. BIT politicians are not usually very
squeainish on such points.

In his letter from the French capital,
Henry James, jr., describes the Parisans as
studying an electoral address from Victor
Hugo. planning a monument to Lamarine, and
viewing the works of the artist Pills. These
incidents indicate that Paris is returning to
her normal condition, and is enjoying more
contentment under the Republic than when
her people were dazzled by Imperial sp!endor,
and kept in fever concerning Government
plottinps elsewhere in Europe.

The learned legal Judges disagree as to whether or
not policy slips are LOTTERY tickets and dealers
in the former amenab!e To law ~ tho swindlers in
the latter business Tie decision Of Judge DAILY
lthe correctness of which we do not mean to Qucs
tom virtually exempts the meaner of the two
classes of rogues for policy dealers by long odds
tho very lowest and meanest Skin" gamblers
tant-worsc than those who thicve aud thrive by
"banco" and keno games. The Legislature
ought ut once to remedy this law, and put it beyond
misconstrnction or various constructions by differ
ent Judges. Place both lottery and policy dealing
under the severest ban. Read the report Of tho
Committee on Crime this particular phase Of
crime even if the report whole is rejected. and
give US remedy for Il great and growing evil which
the police, and. as it now appears the courts, are
powercss to suppress.

A CHANGE has at last occurred in the
proprietorship Of the Wheeling Register.
Mr.. Lewis Baker who has been its prin-
ciplc proprietor for many years has sold
out his interest to Mr.. Geo. II. Mollett
(late of Pocahontas county, and Mr..
James B. fancy. These two gentlemen,
in connection with Messrs. W. H. fancy
and VIM. J. Johnson,.will be the future
proprietors Of the Register. They have
all been associated with it in their various
capacities for a long time, save Mr..
Mohctt who Is now to take charge Of the
editorial department. IIcrublishcs his
Salutatory in yesterdays issue, and gives
US to understand that under his manage
ment the paper will be rs Democratic rs
ever. u.
With Mr.. Baker our relations have
generally been Of pleasant character,
and we presume from the tenor Of Mr..
MolTttt's opening article that We shall
find him an agreeable neighbor. The
time for political aspcritics has passed
away with the heat and passion ofthc war
and its subsequent exciting incidents, and
there is no reason why newspapers OF ey-
cry shade of political opinion should not
so discuss the issues OF the day as to al
ways maintain good understanding
among those who conduct them.

Mr.. Gettinger's Vote ON the Usury

From tho MaftnSburg statesman
Having noticed the vote in the House
OF Delegates on the Usury bill, and that
Mr.. Gettinger voted against itit Is but
proper that his explanation OF his vote
should be given: When voting he said,
"that recognizing fully the representative
duty Of member, he had in difference to
what he believed 10 be the wish Of large
number, possibly a majority Of those who
elected him, determined to vote for the
bill, but his attention having been called
TO the construction put upon the Nation
al Banking Act Of the United States by u
recent decision Of the United States Su-
preme Court viz: That National Banks
cannot be made subject to the restrictions
Of State laws further than 10 a forfeiture
Of the excess Of interest, and as this bill
declares the contract void, FORGETTING the
bond and interest for usury, he could not
support It, for the reason that in his udg'
ment it would be virtually class legisla-
ton, and in favor Of National Banks, the
very institutions to which his people who
80 much desire lower rate Of interest
object, and understanding this he be-
lieyed they would not wish this bill to
pass. This being the case he believed the
only relief possible must come through
