The 3Oth annual session of Mary
Sharp College College will begin this
wednesday, morning, and we are glad
to learn that the attendance will be
unusually large. More students have
arrived than have arrived before, for
several years, 50 early in the season.
We are glad to see this substantial rec
ognition of the deserved merits Of the
old Mary Sharp, and it really is cause
of regret that VIC cannot be present at
the opening. But for previous promises
we would lie there.

Then and Now.

In a street confab the other day with
Hon. Jno. R. Beasley, he said he be-
lieved if all laws enacted by the Legisla.
ture had to be left to the people for rat
ification or rejection, before they became
binding, we would have fewer laws and
better ones. In the Legislature in
1879 a resolution was introduced de.
claring that no settlement of the State
debt should be made without first being
ratified by the people at the ballot-bOx,
and Mr.. Beasley made the following
sensible remarks, which We published in
our issue of January l6, Of that year:
II am opposed to the adoption Of
this resolution. The government under
which we live is Il republic, and not Il
democracy like some of those in ancient
times. All legislative power is vested
in the General Assembly. Representa-
tivcs are presumed to know and reflect
the sentiments of their constituents on
all public questions, and these Repre-
sentatives are required to take IN oath
to support the constitution Of the State,
and not an oath to support the platform
of political party which is generally
gotten up by few men and adopted
without discussion. The resolution be.
fore the House is unconstitutional. 1t
is also unwise and inexpedient. If we
abandon the constitution in this i'll
stance, how long will it be before we
are urged to abandon it again? Never
before in the history of the State has a
resolution of this kind been adopted.
The policy which it proposes is foreign
to the genius Of our institutions, and es
tablishes a precedent which is danger
Gus to the liberties and welfare Of the
people"
Times change and men change with
them.

Mr. Beasley boldly said, in his speech
last Monday, that he would if he could
repudiatc every public debt. And what
think you of that? Is that the sort OF
moral philosophy to elevate a people
and make them fit for the communion
of honest men? Such a sentiment
ought not to be uttered in the sunlight
of Heaven, nor under the stars-no-
where on earth az long as man is per-

The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1880-01-08

TIE substance Of the Maine decision is
that an election Is to ascertain the will oil
the majority OF the voters; that this will,
once expressed, cannot be defeated by
any errors or omissions, or through the
ignorance, inattcntion, or willful prac-
tees Of the judges Of elections, the re-
turning officers, or any other persons
appointed to execute the law and hold
the election. 1t decides that, where the
will OF the voters is expressed, II that will
can be discovered from the returns, then
that will must govern. 1t declares that
the voters shall not BIO DISTINGUISHED, MOI
any portion OF the people disfranchiscd,
because OF the mistakes or errors Of the
election officers.
That we understand 10 be the common
law OF American elections. The Supreme
Court has laid down the law as it has been
asserted in nearly every State OF the
Union. The Judges themselves are non
partisan. The Court has been recognized
in Maine as free from ~partisanship. One
of the Judges is, OF the bench, a strong
member OF the Democratic party. Two
others Of the Judges, so far as it is known,
are not Republicans in the sense OF being
party men, and it is supposed voted the
Fusion ticket. The Court was unanimous
in its opinion, and that opinion will be
accepted by the almost unanimous voice
of the American people.

Mr. &. White writes to the New
York Tribune from Washington that Grant
is now recognized as a candidate for
President, and then answers a question oil
his own as follows:
"There is no trouble in ascertaining
what the most Influential! members Of Con,
vresa think about u third term for General
Grant, II they are asked their opinion pri-
yately, and are promised that what they
say shall not appear in the newspapers
The third term men in Congress may al
most be counted on ones fingers, aud they
do not attempt to conceal their prefer
rences. The remainder believe that 10
nut IN General Grant rs u candidate
would be a grave mistake; but they do not
wish to say.it in public"
This Is the same point made in the IN
TElLlGENCER some days ago in reference
to the Republican press, viz: that they are
holding back from n full and Tree expires
sion on the third term question, instead Of
speaking out plainly, thus permitting the
country to infer that the boom is practi'
cally inyincible, when it is not. 1t is not
inyincible II it is only met in time. \
