The Governor and the Senate.

The Governor and the Hagerstowa Nail
seem to be outraged that the Senate rejected
number of nominations for state officers
The Governor is reported as saying that such
a course on the part ofthe Senate was unheard
of before, and the Mail expresses its indigna-
ton in stronger language.
Most people have higher regard for the
provisions of the constitution than for the
opinions of either the Governor or the Mail.
That Instrumentation 10, article 2-pro-
viteas that the Governor 'sshall nominate, and,
6y and icah the adrice and consent IF Hc
Senate, APPOINT all civil aud military officers
of the state, whose appointment, OF election,
is not otherwise provided for
The constitution does not give the Governor
power to appoint officers. Heonly dominates.
and, by and with the advice and consent of
the Senate, appoints them. If further proof
be required that the Senate is given equal
power Wit the Governor to fill the offices of
the state, it is found in section u of article 2,
which prohibits the Governor from nomina-
ting again any person who has been rejected
by the Sena e, unless the Senate shall request
it; and it further prohibits the Governor from
appointing any rejected person during the re-
IS of the Legislature.
Neither the Governor nor the Senate can
appoint alone The filling of state offices is
joint act The Senate has as much power
to reject a ROnaination that is Objectionable as
the Governor has to nominate. Practically
the Governor and the Senate, on the matter
of making appointments, stand in the same
relation that the Senate and House do on mat
ters Of legislation. Neither house can make
a law It requires the action of both houses.
When they disagree a committee of conference
is formed and the differences harmonized. If
the Governor had conferred with the Senate
IN regard to appointments. as is usual for the
Executive to do, there would probably have
beenno reflections. He would have saved his
friends, too, from such humiliation. Several
of his nominations were rejected unanimously,
Republicans and Democrats alike deeming
them unfit.

of the principal in fifteen years from the date
of its contraction.
Your committee does not propose to defend
any party or persons at the expense OF the
truth. 1t does not propose to deny what Is
admitted on the one hand, or disprove what
is alleged upon the other it simply endeavors
to show that the inroads made upon the
special funds have been made by the Legisa-
ture the representatives of the people, who
by their course took from the state officials
the very safeguards framed to prevent such a
condition of affairs.
The constitution requiring that loan laws
shall provide tax sufficient to meet the prin-
cpal in fifteen years, the next point is, how
is this to be done? Only three ways present
themselves:
First.-The' annual tax provided for by the
loan laws must produce every year, over and
above the amount required to meet the yearly
interest, Il surplus sufficient to amount in fif-
teen years TO the principal of the loan
SecOnd.-The annual tax must produce
such a surplus after payment of interest that,
by its application to the purchase and cancel
lation of the loan, the whole will be so pur-
chased and cancelled at the end of fifteen
years.
Thrd-The annual surplus of the tax must
be such as to produce sinking fund which
at the end of fifteen years will be sufficient to
meet the principal.
Under the constitution the taxes levied by
the ''loan laws must he applied to the in
terest and provide for the redemption of the
principal OF the several debts as created and
until paid, or the sinking fund equals the
amount of the outstanding debt.
The Legislature shopld be allowed no dis
cretion to use these moneys for any other
purpose whatever. Should they he diverted,
any holder of state debt could interfere by
mandamus and prevent such misappropria-
ton, and oblige tav treasury officials to fol-
low the peremptory directions Of the consti-
tuition.
In conclusion. Your committee finds, as a
matter of fact, that the sinking fund as pro-
vided for by the constitution has not been
kept up, aud there seems grave questions as
to whether or not the sinking fund provisions
have not become null and void. That such
Is the ease Is in no way the fault of the treasury
officials. This failure has been in no way
detrimental to the credit of the state. and the
causes OF such failure seem to date back rs
lar as 1865. The failure of revenues, the
omission 10 raise the levy and excessive legis-
lative appropriations have heretofore and al
ways viii render it absolutely impossible to
carry out the constitutional provisions for a
sinking fund.

gust and discouragcment were universal, men
Of all shades of political opinion uniting IN the
sentiment. A gentleman connected with the
Republican State Central Committee remarked
thai ! meeting Of the committee had been
called TO organize for The campaign, but that

Chinese leagues To take legal steps to drive the
Chinese from the vicinity. Others report

President hung and burnt in eiilgy.
From N. SaH Francisco EramiaeT, Dem.
The news Of the veto of the anti Chinese
bill, though not altogether unexpected, came
to the community as shock of painful char
acter which il is difficult to find language to
describe. Our people had built much conf
denee on the Chicago platform, and we were
unwilling TO believe that it would be shame
fully ignored by the President. elected espe-
cially upon it, as both Houses of Congress had
given it effect by substantial majorities. On
all sides the sentiment expressed is that no
such calamity had ever before befallen the
Pacific Coast Republicans and Democrats,
for the time being, forget their partisan differ
enees, and all alike feel that they are confron-
ted with common peril.

About a year ago Coy. Hamilton, in endeav-

Heating for denomination for Comptroller,
made vsrious charges agaiHst his management
ofthe state finances and endeagored to create
the impression that be was either ineompe-
tent or was wilfully inisapPlying the funds Of
the state. A committee ofthe Legislature has
Investigated these accusations, and i reported
that it considered Mr. Heating course under
the circumstances the ''best for the interests
Of the state. Whatever censure there is,
SAYS the committee. belongs to the Legislature.
The sin Of the legislature consists IN not in
es.eaxing faratioa, but in stopping interest on
bonds already bought up by the state and ap-
plying If to the current expenses. This, too,
the committee says, has not been detrimental
to fhe credit Of the state. The report viii be
