RIPPLEs FROM THE REGATTA,

The Peoria Transcript contains the fol
lowing: The rowing association were
compelled to pay 800 ground rent for the
lot on which the grand stand was located.
They neglected to take deed instead of a
receipt when they paid the money.
The rowing association lose about six
hundred dollars by tie regatta. Boating
is a rather expensive amusement.
The regatta boats departed for their
home ports, leaving the levee looking lone
some. They did a good business while
here and went away with full lockers.

Peoria Democrat. A scheme was on foot
among several of the visiting beat clubs to
burn the Peoria boat club in effigy on the
evening following the close of the regatta
Finally they decided that such a proceed

great trouble and expense the Peoria boys
had been to in making their stay here so
pleasant; so they gave IT up, until they re-
turned home, when they will probably
show up the Peoria boys in good shape.

in November, A. D. 1873, and every four
years thereafter. In 1874, act of March
26, R. S., chapter 81, section 81, the legis-
lature passed an act directing that the
county judges and clerks should be elected
on the first Thursday after the first Mon
day in 1877, and every four years there
after, and that thy should enter upon the
duties of their respective offices on the
first Monday in December after their cleo
ton.
BY the act of April Sd. 1872, section %.
Chapter 4G, r. s., it was provided that in
counties not under township organization
there should be elected a county treasurer
in 1878, and eve.y two years thereafter.
1t will be readily observed tnat the time,
in point of time, for the election of these
officers is fixed wholly by acts of the legis-
lature, prior to November, 1882, which IS
the time fixed by the recent constitutional
amendment.
These acts, IN so far as they six the time
for electing these officers in 1881, have
been repealed by the amendatory acts
passed by. the present legislature, fixing
the time of the election of such officers in
1882.
There is therefore, no law or constitu-
tional provision in existence authorizing
an election for these officers to be held in
1881
1t requires no great amount of legal
learning to know that an election held with
out any law authorizing it is void, this be-
ing true no valid election for these officers
can be held this year.
On the other hand the term Of office of
the present incumbents has not been ex-
tended by the recent acts of the legislature,
for the constitution provides that mo law
shall be passed which shall operate to
ertend the term of any public officer after
the term of his election or appointment,
section %, Art. 4. Const. 1870. The
amendment to the constitution does not
contain any language extending the term
of such officers, and courts will not extend
its meaning by implication.
The term of office of the present county
Judges, clerks and treasurers expire on the
first Monday in December, 1881. After
that date vacancy will exist in each OF
said offices, occasioned by the expiration
Of the term of office of the present incum-
bent The interim to the first Monday in
December, 1882, is less than year, and
the offices must be filled by appointment

the case of the judges, is the governor, and
in the cases of clerk and treasurer the board

A SCENE OF EXCITEMENT.

The R l. & P. railroad depot in this city
was to-day the scene of considerable excite
ment. 1t seems in car which came in
this morning was wooden case which had
to be transferred at this point to another
car. When the shipping clerk went in to
tackle the mysterious looking package
most horrible smell greeted his nostrils and
he retired in precipitate haste; other at
taches of the railroad entered and retired
in quick succession. That there was
mystery here somewhere was evident. The
only question was of what character. A
hasty council of war was held and
an animated discussion took place,
made and explanations given. Rumors of
beautiful maiden; slain by rejected low
er and boxed up and shipped to his more
successful rival. were among the least of
the suppositions entertained by the vigi
liant force. Horrible murders were dis
cussed and all the necessary details for q
frst-class sensatiod seemed to be present.
AS the discussion continued the excitement
grew more intense, and finally one clerk
could be seen with horror struck eyes and
erect hair starting for Coroner Morris,
while the widely distended coat
tails of another testified that
that he was in search of undertaken Knox.
Mr.. Knox arrived first on the scene of ter
ror and while a jury was being hastily en-
panaled, upstairs awaiting the coroner, he
proceeded to open the box. The crowd of
spectators grew every minute more excited
and nervous fear of the horror soon to be
revealed took possession of the crowd.
But Mr.. Knox proceeded with his task and
when the box was opened disclosed a
metallic coffin large and heavy but
empty
The boys at the depot now breath easier

part in the investigation seem to enjoy life

LAW LAID DOWN.

II W Wells, prominent attorney of this
state, gives the following opinion upon the
effect of the recent constitutional amend
ment and legislation on the term of office
of the present county judge, clerk and
treasurer which can be found of interest
to parties in this vicinity
Section of Art. 10, Const 1870, pro-
vides that, I'm each county there shall be
elected the following county officers:
County judge, = county clerk, y
county treasurer, x each
of whom shall enter upon the duties of his
Office respectively on the first Monday in
December after their election, and they
shall hold their respective offices for four
years, except treasurer. and I'M
til their successors shall be elected and
qualified"
Section IS, Art. 6, H., provides that
There shall be elected in and for each
county one county judge and one clerk of
the county court, whose term of office shall
be four years. n"
These are all the constitutional provis-
ions in relation to the terms of office of
such officers. 1t will be seen from an ex.
animation of these extracts that the consti-
tuition nowhere fixes tie time qchen these
officers shall be elected, as in case of cir
cult judges and states attorneys
On April Sd, 1872, the first legislature
which assembled after the adoption of the
constitution of 1870, passed an act, section

county judges and clerks should be elected
