THE NEW AMENDMENT.

The question whether or not county
judges, clerks and treasurers are to be cleo
ted next fall continues to call forth ANNA
ted discussions from the newspapers, law
journals, the attorney general and others,
and much as has already been said upon
the subject, there Is now nearly as much
difference Of opinion as there ever was and
each party defends its position with as
much apparent consciousness OF right as it
ever did,
The BULLETIN did not join in the gen.
eral discussion of this important subject
until recently, chiefly because there was so
much difference of opinion with regard to
the question at issue,and the authors of the
law were themselves backward about Civ.
ing support to it. But recently the governor
who signed the new election law and some
of the highest judicial lights in the state, at
the suggestion of some of whom it was
passed, have after further deliberaton,
reaffirmed the constitutionalty Of
the law and have shown to the salts.
faction of any reasonable mind that
their positions are we'll chosen. While the
opinion that no election can be held in
next November has received within the
last few weeks, and continues to receive.
converts in all parts of the state and from
the intelligent men in every occupation,
yet.there are those who, being well versed
in law, write and speak ably in support of
contrary positions The argument in sup.
port of holding county elections, which
appears to have now the strongest hold, is
that Of Attorney General Mccartney to the
effect that the new amendment does not
take effect until 1882, and this argument Is
ably supported by the Springfield Register
Of Thursday in the following editorial
"since writing an article yesterday on
"the election OF county officers" our atten-
ton has been called to the opinion of Hon.
X. s. Leland, late circuit Judge, published
In the Ottawa Free Trader. The Judge is a
democrat, but that fact should not influence
an opinion on the question. The supreme
court Of Illinois might hold the same as
Judge Leland holds, and Of course the do.
cision Of that court would be conclusive
whether right or wrong. Until the supreme
court Of Illinois decides otherwise, we will
adhere to our opinion. II Is true. az q
matter OF law, that when the votes were
csnvassed the amendment to the constitu.
tion was adopted. But law or constitu
ton may be operative either in the present

POLICE ITEMS.

Peter Norman, colored, was arrested by
Chief of Police Myers yesterday Tor being
the possessor Of dog upon which the tax
had not been paid. He was fined five
dollars and costs and, in default
of payment, was sent to the city Jail for
nine days. This is, perhaps, the first case
on record in which violator OF the dog
ordinance has been imprisoned, and may
be considered very forcible affirmation on
the part of Marshal Myers that the law con-
corning dog tax shall and must be salts
fed, either by the payment of the tax or the
surrender Of the dog,
Thomas Montgomery was brought
into the court of Magistrate Comings upon
a warrant sworn out by Street Tax Collec.

oner was found guilty and fined five dollars
and costs, failing to pay which, he was sent
to Jail for nine days. Thus Thomas, refus.

while doing so, determine whether or not
