THE SCHOOL ELECTION.
G. P. JOHNSON, Secretary.

1t frequently happens that well meaning
men, when they discuss question involving
law point, founder frightfu!ly, and con-
founding the remedy and the legal rules to
react it, get everything into confusion. This
is the case with Every Evening in its CON-
ments upon the Ninth ward fraud. Save
and except our cotemporary's billingsgate
pyrotechnice, the article we refer to is well
meant, but if 1t had been supervised by
the legal mentor of that journal, it would
hardly have appeared in the shape it was
given on Saturday. We grant all that was
said by Every Evening about the wickedness
of the fraud, and the Importance of giving
expression to the honest vote Of the ward,
but sad to say, the Times, of Philadelphia,
quoted by Every Evening, that journal
itself failed to comprehend the powers of
the Board of Education in the premises.
VIII Every Evening-the Times evidently
was thinking of the powers of the Court of
Common Pleas of Philadelphia county, not
of the Board of Education--for once in its
career be calm and rise above It's fish-wife
propensities and listen to reasons
I. The Board of Education is corporate
creature of the State of Delaware-as such
it has no power but that expressly granted
by statute.
II. The grant of power to the Board that
it should be the judge of the qualifics tions
of its members, cannot be enlarged by
Implication, aud hence limits the action of
the Board to the inquiries: Is the member
applying citizen? Is he white man! Is
he resident of the ward he was elected to
represent Has he paid his school tax?
Is The certificate Of Ills elsctian upon its face
correct?
III. The Board has no authority to issue
subpoena, or to compel the attendance of
