THE APPOINTING POWER.

There seems to be some doubt existing
in the minds of some persons as to the
constitutionality Of the law giving the
President ofthe Board of Commissioners
power to fill vacancy in the Office of
Sheriff. On the one hand it is held that
the Board of Commissioners being sub.
stituted in lieu of the County Court, the
President of the Board occupies precisely
the same relation that the President of q
County Court does, and that the Presi-
dent of county court is judge. The
Constitution, Art. vi, sec. 40 says:
"The Legislature shall not confer upon
any court or judge the power of ap-
pointment to Office, further than the
same is herein provided" Provision is
made for the appointment of officers OF
the Court of Appeals by that Court; the
Circuit Court has power 70 appoint q
clerk, and the County Court must ap-
point coroners, surveyors of roads and
overseers of the poor. Farther than this
the Constitution does not provide for ap-
pointments by the courts.
On the other hand it is claimed that
the Board of Commissioners is in
no sense court-not being clothed
with judicial powers, but merely
established for police and fiscal
purposes. And again it is contended
that II the President of the Board did oc-
cupy the same relation as President of
the County Court, he would still not be
a Judge, as contemplated by the 4Oth
section Of article of the constitution,
and that precedent for this view of 1t
was established by the Senate last
winter in SHERRARD's case.
The section of the Constitution which
has gwen rise TO the difficulty in this and
other cases, was incorporated in that in
strument tor the purpose of preventing
such outrages as had been perpetrated
by judicial appointments OF NAT HAR-
RIsoN and other Radical judges. 1t is
doubtful whether it could be construed
to reach such cases as the one presented
here, and where there is a doubt the
benefit of the doubt must be given to the
law. Therefore we are lead to believe
that the courts would sustain the con
of the act, and Mr.. REIL-
LYs appointment will hold good.

Fire Underwriters, to-day, the principal
companies of tho United States and Great
Britain were represented. The treasurer's
report showed the receipts to be $l34 900
and the expenditures $l33,0O0. Presi.
dent Noakler delivered the annual ad.
dress. The capital employed last year
was SIS, 100000, an increase of 1000, 900
over 1874. The dividends on this CAPT.
tai averaged 1872 l-l5 per ceut The to-
tai amount of premiums received during
1875 by the American companies was
$50. 100000 and by foreign companies
$1,000, 900, q decrease of 70.100 per
cent. as compared with 1874 The losses
paid for the year were s2S,0OO,0 The
increase in the amount Of risks assumed
during 1875 is s29O,OO0,O00. The loss
rate for the past year has steadily in
creased, as remuneraiive rates should be
adhered TO.
The repert OF the Committee on
Inceudiarism and arson was presented
1t shows that during the past year at
least 35 per cent of the number OF fires
were caused by incendlaries, while full
55 per cent OF the property destroyed

lishmept OF fire patrols in every city, and
that they should be partly sustained and
