Tie FOrger Cooper.

London Special October 81
William Ringgold Cooper, the
American charged with forgery by
Messrs. Glynn, Mills & Co., the bank
ers, was a~rraigned to day before the
Lord Mayor at the Mansion House
Police Court. Among the spectators
was noticed a young American lady.
quietly dressed and deeply yelled,
who passed in London as Oooper's
wife. Mr.. Day, a resident of Hemel
Hampstead, a friend of the prisoner
during his residence in Hertfordshire,
testified to Cooper's handwriting.
During the REORGANIZATION the
witness wept he stated that a more
highly educated and refined and hon
orable mar than the prisoner he had
never met. He had known him two
years, and the prisoner had complete
ly won the affections of himself, his
family and his neighbors. He could
hardly believe tne truth of the
charges made. At this point the
witness looked toward the prisoner
appealingly, as if he would have him
deny the charges. Cooper could not,
however, meet the gaze of his de-
ceived friend, his eyes sunk, and he
seemed visibly affected. The prisoner
appeared at one time to have a chance
Of ultimately escaping punishment on
the plea of mistaken identity, in con-
sequence of the use of the false
beard but the evidence Of the last
witness, a hair dresser, who made the
beard, caused him to be committed on
both charges.

A Happy Recovery.

After ten days Of illness. Mrs. r.
H. Whitmore was able to sit up and
take light exercise on Saturday last.
Her attack Of the prevailing malady
was n Of unusual severity, and for
a time it was thought her life hung by
a mere thread. To the skillful and
kind hearted nurse, Mrs. Hudson,
and the careful attention Of her med
zeal attendant, DR.. Heber Jones. the
successful termination of the malady
is largely due. Mr.. Whitmore feels
that next to Providence he is mainly
indebted to these ~Samaritans for the
recovery Of his wife, and the now
convalescent lady joins with her hus-
band in returning heartfelt thanks for
unremitting efforts in preventing their
patient from crossing the dark river
and filling an early grave. While
memory lasts recollections Of their
untiring devotion will not be efaoed.
May they both realize all possible
happiness this world can afford, and
when their rae is run may there be
no measure to their bliss in the world
to come.

wHEELINa's MUD POND.

We are glad to see the Intelligenoef en-
listing in the war upon the filthy slop,
misnamed water, which Wheeling ha-
bitnally pours down its devoted throat
But we can hardly endorse the meas
ures proposed for its Improvement.
The Iatsllioelcer agrees that the drain
ace OF mud and muck and manure
which has been washed by the heavy
rains into the Ohio in the past few days,
and in turn pumped out again to quench
the thirst of the populace, might be less
offensive to the eye if it were filtered
through sand or by some other process,
deprived OF its tangible and terrifying
dregs, but it stops here, as though this
would meet the demands Of civilization.
That much improvement might make
it more palatable potion to horse or
rat, or some other brute that never
thought beyond what was suggested by
the taste, or smell, or sight, but to an
intelligent, considerate mind, there
would not be much comfort in simply
seeing that water, which he knew had
run through a pig-stye had been di-
vested of its visible dregs. If we have
10 drink the essence of filth, let us have
the filth well stirred in, that We may
have peculiar proof of what we drink,
and make no mistake. Ii mud, the
principal ingredient, be once mixed IN
il. we had better have the mud
! pumped up to us, for it is a warning oil
the presence OF whatever other filth IS
usually associated with mud. To eX-
tract the mud that had been once
mixed in it would be to deceive the peo-
ple in the history of the beverage.
II we are to have reformation in
this direction, why not make it COM
plete? Why not take the pipes from
the mud and filth and put them
into use in pumping from natures re-
servoir in the bowels of the earth? Two
artesian wells would probably furnish
an abundant supply of pure, clear, cool
and uncontaminated water for the whole
city. There is so little expense involved
in the change, and the result would be
so priceless, that the whole city would
rise up TO congratulate itself. Will mo-
some enterprising citizen, who has the
time. talent, and information, give Us
the probable cost, and the contingencies
of change from mud pond to artesiar
wells for our water supply?

POWER TO REPEAL.

The Richie Gd-stis advances the
opinion that il would not be competent
for the Legislature b repeal an act es-
tablishing County Court under the al
tentative plan Of the Constitution. Or,
as the Ga,st,e puts it, "to say the least,
1t would require a vote of The people,
after the passage Of repeating act by
the Legislature, to accomplish the
work
The editor Of the Gd-sits is usually
circumspect in his opinions, and we,
therefore, looked a little carefully into
the reason "ior the faith that is in him."
We hal not supposed that there would
be any difference of opinion as to the
power OF the Legislature over these
bills.
The provisions Of a bill establishing a
County Court under the alternative
plan are not suggested, prescribed or
limited by the Constitution farther than
the general requirement that they shall
conform to the policy OF the Judiciary
system set up by the Constitution. The
provisions Of these bills originate with
the Legislature. They differ in their
plan and construction To suit the no.
tons Of the different counties for which
they are framed. The Constitution
simply delegates the power to "alter,
modify and reform" the system of Coun-
~ Courts. or 10 establish other tribu-
mails" as the Legislature, upon the aT-
plication Of any county. may see fit.
They are in no sense, therefore, parts
ofthe Constitution. They are styled
"Acts of the Legislature They are
passed upon a. acts Of the Legislature.
They are published in connection with
all the other acts Of the Legislature.
The sole difference between them and
the majority Of other acts is that they
must bee submitted to a vote OF the pco-
pie before they become operative.
Yet this latter exception is not an un-
usual incident 10 an act Of the LcCiSla-
ture. 1t is a provision frequently in
corporated in acts OF 4 local or special
character, at the option OF the LegiSla-
ture.
Yet We DO not understand how an act
containing such provision, or that has
been adopted by a vote Of the people,
should destroy the power Of the Legisla-
ture over il. II 50, it will be dangerous
10 adopt acts upon such n basis, or, like
the laws Of the Modes and PcrSians,
they will be irrevocably fixed without
possibility of change or repeal. We
know Of no provision Of law OF Constitu.
ton that provides for repeating an act
by a vote OF the people. The power
which creates ought to have the power
to destroy.
We take it for granted, however,
that the Legislature would not use its
authority to repeal such an act
without very general desire
on the part of the county to have /.
it done, and where there was any mark /
ed division of sentiment, they would /
submit a repeating or modifying act to
a vote Of the people. Vet with all respect
for the opinion OF the Ga;etis, we must
insist that if the Legislature has authori-
ty to repeal any act of its creation, it
has a like unconditional authority over
this; for if it is not an "act of the Legis-
lature," pure and simple, what is it2

WEST VIRGINIA's APPoRTIoN-

The Richmond Dispatch in replying to
some structures of the Philadelphia But-
Ltia upon the probability OF the next
census being used for giving advantage
10 the Republican party, makes the
charge that we were cheated out oil an
electoral vote in the apportionment oil
1872, and if a proper apportionment had
been made to West Virginia, she would
have decided the Presidential contest so
conclusively as to dumbtound even
ks elecoral commission. Says the DIS
patch:
