August Election.

fSNPsJ SWb y NtNAt Wv SNhfSSe SsNNNeVtf
occurs. This year the election has
matters connected with it that rem.
ders itofmore thanunusuali nterestto
the voter. By an act Of the Legisla-
ture, the voters Of the county are
called upon to ratify or reject new
system Of Court for this county, and
the election Of a County Judge, and
also three Commissioners to do the
county police and fiscal business, and
also to elect o County Superintend-
ebt Of Free Schools. These are re-
sponsible positions and good men
should be selected to fill them. The
ratification or rejection Of the "new
Court Bill" is not party question,
and will be supported by all who de-
sire change for the better in our
judiciary. Thisnew Court will have
nothing TO do with the finances Of
the county, as it is only q Court for
the trial of causes, sitting four times
year. The control of County af-
fairs is left entirely with The three
Commissioners, who receive 50 a day
each for their services. The plan, if
adopted, will no doubt be a great i'm
proyement over the present plan Of
conducting our county affairs, and
besides be q great saving to our peo-
pie. We hope to get the bill in time
to publish in our next paper, SO all
can see and read IL for themselves
While the adoption, or rejection Of
this proposed new Court, cannot be
made a party question, yet the Offices
created under it may be made so.
We are not yet prepared to say that
the people favor the calling Of a
Democratic Convention, nor would
we urge it, were it not for the fact
that scheming men in the Republi-
can party are fostering and encour-
aging the "third party" movement in
the hope of creating discussions and
divisions in the Democratic ranks
This they are endeavoring to do, by
encouraging the "Greenbackers," and
promising Democrats tosupport them
ifsthey willrun for the Office. They
are not honest. They want four or
five Democrats to run for Judge, to
divide the vote of the party, and
then concentrate their vote upon one
Republican, and by coalescing with
the Greenbackers, elect him. This
being their plan, we suggest the call
ing Of County Convention at an
early day, where all Democrats who
want to be the new Judge can sub.
nit their names, and abide the re-
suit Of that Convention. This is the
only true way toprevent the election
of a Republican to this office. This
is a Democratic county, and why
should the offices be given to our OPP
ponents, by the modus operandi Of
having too many candidates for one
Office?

The Wheeling Leader and Parkers-
burg Journal have u strong feeling Of
hatred toward Senator Frank Here
ford, and are endeavoring to do him
a mighty sight of injury. But from
all we can hear, the honorable Sena.
tor comes from the fire unscathed,-
noteven scorched. These two mighty
journals are, however, doing for him
a heap of free advertising, for which
he will live to feel grateful. The
Senator's speech is SO basely ridicul-
ed that men who have not seen it are
made to look it up and read it, and
all are so well'pleased with its sound
sense and Constitutional doctrine,
that the National Executive Com
mittee publish the fact that Here
ford's speech is in great demand
equal to that Of Senator David Davis.
The Leader and Journal should con-
tinue the good work.-Register.

Mr.. Hayes talk about National
elections is misleading. Neither
Congress nor the President are au-
thorized to interfere in the election Of
President or United States Senator,

by which the State shall select them;
yet it is claimed that the army can
be used to interfere in the election
of congressmen-introduced, for the

BY the Constitution, says the New
York Sun, the House Of Representa-
tives is made the guardian Of the Ma
tional Treasury in an especial man
ner. Not a dollarcan be drawn from
the Treasury in any emergency, how
ever critical, except in accordance
with laws thatoriginatein the House,
and which set apart the money for q
specified object.
The existence ofan army as a per
manent establishment is notcontem-
plated by the Constitution. This is
proved by the fact that appropfia-
tions for the support Of the army, are,
by the explicit words Of the Consti-
tuition, limited to two years; and, by
no possible expedient, can they be
extended beyond that period. .
The Fraudulent President tells
Congress that their proposed legisla-
tisn may operate to circumscribe his
constitutional powersas Commander
in, Chief of the army. But it forgets
that by the terms Of the Constitution
it rests with Congress alone to deter
mine what sort of an army there shall
be, and how it shall beorganized, and
indeed, whether or not tbereshall be
any army at all for him to command.
When the House Of Represents
tives, at the dictation Of Che Execn.
tive Department of the Government,
shall surrender itsright to annex to
appropriations for the support Of the
army such conditions in regard to
the expenditure Of the money as it
shall deem prudent and proper, then
it will prove false to the trust devolv-
ed upon it by the Constitution, and
will have thrown down one Of the
main bulwarks erected by the faith.
ers of the Republic for the preserva-
tion of the liberties Of their descend
ants.
We should gather instruction from
the teachings ofhistory. The House
of Commons has fought great battles
in memorable epochs. Since the day
when James II.abandoned his throne
and fed before the indignation OF
his people to foreign shore, no Brit.
ish sovereign has dared to veto a
money bill which originated in that
House. Shall the citizens of Re.
public be less mindful Of their liber.
ties than the subjects of a monarch?
