ELECTION OF COUNTY OFFICERS.

Attorney. General Mccartney, of this state,
has written letter in relation TO the election
of county offices, which Is as absurd is it IS
fraught with mischief The pith of it is, that
the act Of the last legislature, which changed
the sections of our election law requiring the
election Of county officers to be held in No.
vember, 1881, so as to fix November, 1882, as
the time for such election, is unconstitutional
and VOID, because It's operation is TO extend
the term of the present county officers one
year, which is violation of sec. %, art. IA, of
the constitution, which says: mo law shall
be passed which shall operate TO extend the
term OF any public officer after his election or
appointment"
But Is it the law of the Legislature That SO
operates" The constitution says the terms
of the county officers in question shall be two
and four years, and that the election shall take
place IN 1877, 1879, etc, and then another
clause ofthe constitution is adopted saying
the election shall take place in 1892 instead ol
AS the former constitutional provision and
the laws In pursuance OF ii required-in 1881
1t was not the law Of the Legislature therefore
but the amendment OF the constitution, thai

In the intervals between the frutless ballot

of the great Empire State have appropriately
occupied themselves In the consideration of a
bill for the protection of polccats. "Old Salt
Alvord remarked, IN reference to the bill that
the Legislature had done all it could to make
itself as obnoxious as the skunk IN the nos
trils of the people, and this bill seemed to be
necessary a. a measure of selfprotection.
