"The Brooklyn Eagle" finds it no easy task
to reconcile its earnest advocacy OF the High
License bill and it's depreciation of Governor
Hips veto of that excellent measure with the
Bufralo platform and its pledged support to the
Governor on his denomination. All it can say u
that nevertheless, the Democrats Ill 1hc

the Governor should have signed, the High License

The controversy over the status OF the presi-
dent and faculty of the Normal College under the
act giving the institution full collegiate powers
seems useless II the legislative intent Is con-
sidered. It must certainly be held that there was
no purpose Of interfering in any way with these
officers. The idea was simply to enlarge the
authority of the school and make it college IN

like necessary inference. There is a precedent
that inst fits the case. When by a like act OF the
Legislature the Free Academy was made the College
of the City of New-Yorll, thought of reappolnt-
ing the faculty was entertained. Ihat prece-
dent ught to be decisive.
