HAVE WE IN OLIGARCHY ?

A few plain words upon the current COM
plexion of politics In this State, and indeed
all over the country, are worth printing
Every citizen must feel that it has come
to pass as one of the practical results of
our republican experiment, that the office>
holders form almost as distinct a class as
do the nobility in the monarchical countries
of Europe.
To look around in this city, without going
beyond its limits, have we not distinct
class of offioe-holders, in both the Demo>
cratic and Republican parties? How many
men have we who have oscillated from one
office to another with the regularity of a
pendulum, and when filling one, bend al
their energies to obtain either re>appoint>
ment, or the obtainment of another Thi.
is calculated to disgust many men, as they
feel that they are mere counters to register
the DEGREES of the office holding oligarchy.
1t is safe and wise rule never to reappear
unless for some reason of imperative
strength better still, to make every office
elective from the Chief Justice to the
County Constable. The people alone are
the source of political power, and they
should in every instance elect.

pROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY.

The Rev. W. H. H. Murray, of Boston,
is disposed to break up all denominational>
ism, by having a common temple for Chris
tan worship-nay, he even feels disposed
to admit Hindoo priests to the proposed
sanctuary. The reasons advanced are GER
tainy worth hearing:
"The parish church beginning with the
township system of New England, could
Lot do the work required of 1t in metros
polls. Only about forty per cent. of the
Protestant population of the New England
cities attend any religious service, and not
over one,half of the slttings of the parish
churches are occupied. The churches in
Boston are not so we'll filled on the Sabbath
now as they were forty years ago. The
fault is not in the people, but in the system
of religious administration, and the system
must accommodate itself to the people,"
We must confess to an honest regret at
movement of this kind, it is one step from
the broad Christianity of the Boston preacher
to the Deism of the Parsee and Magians,
and symptomatlc OF the Protestant Chris.
tianity. Verify, Boston is city of ad-
vanced ideas.

NINTH Ward SCHOOL ELECTION,

forty.nVe Citizens OF the 9Ch warQ VINO are
vouched for by the tax collectors as being
qualified to vote for member Of the Board
of Education in the 9th ward, at the last
election, have signified their willingness to
come before committee OF the Board and
swear to their ballots. If this be true, 1t
stamps the brand of fraud upon the last
election in, the 9th ward, and the sitting
member should promptly consider whether
he is justified in retaining an office to which
his right is so gravely impeached.
To reach any conclusion however just,
by an ursurpation of power, not granted to
the Board by express enactment, would be
wrong more deadly in its character and
consequences, than the success of candi-
date by fraudulent voting.
We take broad ground that the Board
has no authority to oppose the question,
and any attempt to exercise the power to
pass upon an election after the member
elected he's been sworn IN, would be an
usurpation of judicial functions not cast
upon it by the law.
The Board might possibly have refused
to swear in either, Messrs. Farrell, or Grnbb,
and put one or both of these to their appro-
pirate legal remedy to compel the Board to
give them their seat. But Mr.. Farrell was
sworn in and thus held qualified, and prop>
erly elected, and the Board is thereby stop
ped from any further exercise of power.
Indeed to permit any corporate buereau to
erect itself into court clothed with judi>
cial functions, would be both dangerous
and unwise and we trust that the Board
for its credit sake will take the opinion of
counsel upon the question of their light to
act in the premises-and that the counsel
so consulted, will write bis opinion and
thereby assume professional responsibility
therein ~s --
A corporation never takes power by i'm
pication and the naked grant to judge of
the election of its members, to the Board
of Education implies no more than the
power to inquire ofthe person who comes
| with certificate of election.
l, If he was resident of the ward he
Was elected to represent.
II. Is he white man.
III. Has he paid school tax within ths
statutary period.
~. Is his certificate of election IN proper
form, and upon its face correct.
This power has been exercised.
This is too important matter to b.
treated in the style indicated by cotempo
orary, and, by the way, we hope that j.
that cotemporary, discusses the question it
will adopt the language we'll bred and cul
tured men use when grave matters are de-
bated.
We have not one word to say in favor O
the fraud.
The Senate and House of Representative
have the constitutional right to pass upol
