The BeaVer Argus. J, WEYAND, ^ , Rortos. Beaver, 14a.,.MMireh 20, 187$. ACCORDING to the Philadelphia Press,thePennsylvania Senate stands by the people and the House by the ro: I es. IN consequence`of the resignation of Mr. 13outwell as Secretary of the Treasury, the President has appoint ed Judge Richardson to that position. Sawyer of South Carolina takes Mr. R.'s place as psistant secretary. Both of these appointments are re ceived With general favor. As the constitutionality of the Local Option law has been iluestion ed, we this week publish the opinion of a majority of tbn Supreme Court in reference to that subject. The opinion was delivered by Judge Ag new in a Philadelphia case—three of the Judges declaring the act .consti tutional and two dissenting. CM= J1.13:3E P. C. SIIANNpN of Pitts burgh, and well known by most of the zitizens of this county,' has been appointed Chief Justice! of Dakota. Territory by PresidEnt Grant. Judge S. has the ability to make a good offia.r, and Übe ails in the per formance of his duty it will not be from the want of capacity and cul ture. liorDl of retrenchment, like those of reform, came to nothing in the last session of Congress. The list of appropriations made during that session shows a grand and alarming total of $195,510,839. This is about 554,000,000 more than was appropria ted last year. But, then, that was just before the election, and was a year of promise-making, as this has been one of promise-breaking. Fon the benefit of those who do not read The Congressional Globe, we mention the fact that among the bilLs passed by the XLIId Congress was one prohibiting the use of the word "National" by banking houses, save those which are regularly in 7 rorporated under the laws of Con gress. The penalty of non-compli ance with this law is a fine of $5O for every day the word remains. SENSATIONAL marriages may be tii►nple or complex. A full dreg ceremonial with a rosy regiment of bridesmaids and the Wedding March on the organ is, perhaps, beyond the means and facilities of De Witt, lowa ; but a school madam there made her nuptials the conclusion of a school exhibition, and another couple, not to be outdone in novelty, were joined on the stage after a tem• perance lecture. These things are a matter of taste; but we cannot help thinking the timid, shrinking, blush ing bride a little the pleasantest to consider. Is another column will be found the result of the vote (so far as yet ascertained) in this county op the li cense question. It will be seen that anti-license leads in most of the bor oughs and townships, and the ag gregate majority against the liquor traffic in this county, will fall but M lle if any below 1400. This is a victo ry over which we may all feel proud and the hope may be confidently in dulged in that for the next three years at least, 'we . will have less dis order in our communtly, fewer, criminals to punish, and a better state of morals than we have had for some time past. The full return of the vote in the county will appear in the next. A RC; US. F Proudlock and Sims" are ever tiled in Allegheny county for voting on fraudulent naturalization papers in Beaver county at the election last October, this county will have all the cost§ to pay in the trial of the cases. They will hardly fall below five hundred do Ha rs. If these men had been tried here the costs would not have exceeded fifty dollars. So, Beaver county will more than likely have to endure a vitiation of her ballot-box, and pay five hundred --dollars besides, in order to get the vitiators cleared. Entertainments of that kind are neither respectable nor cheap. IT is not common for a clergyma to die in his pulpit, but this happen ed a Sunday or two since to the Rev. T. B. Hudson, pastor of the M. E. Church in Clyde. He had read about fifteen minutes in a firm and distinct voice, when suddenly he stopped; re quested that the windows be let down to admit the fresh air, pressed his hands to his forehead, andleaned forward on the desk. Then, as if rallying all his strength for the effort, he began again and uttered the words. "These days are passing away," and as the last syllable left his lips he fell back on the sofa and expired. Mr. Hudson had been for a period of thirty-three years in the active work of the ministry, and was widely known throughout Central . and Western New York. GEN. Ge-cvr has reappointed all the old members of his Cabinet, ex cepting Mr. Boutwell, who has been elected a Senator for Massachusetts. The cabinet is therefore composed of the following named gentlemen: "Secretary of State,liamilton Fish; Secretary Of War, William W.l3elk nap; Secretary of the Navy, George M. Robeson; Secretary of the Interi or, Columbus. Delano; Secretary of the Treasury, William A. Richard. son; Postmaster General, John A. J. Creswell; Attorney General, George H. Williams. The appointment of Mr. Richardson as the successor of Mr. .Bout Well, if it has any algal& tine at all, means that the policy of the late Secretary is to be contin ued. Ost of the liveliest scrambles for office, in a small way, that '-has oc currred since the 4th of March has been over the Collectorship of tile Port of Baltimore. Several candi datt* have been contesting for this honor, among them the present Col lector, Thomas, who desired to be reappointed, and Washington Booth, who thought he ought to have the place. Hardly a day has • passed since the inauguration on which a delegation of Baltimore politicians has not waited on the President to assist him in tilling this place, or been at the Treasury Departmen t striving to secure influence there. The President finally cut the knot on last Wednesday and sent Booth's name to the Senate for confirmation. Mornay friends are.liow indignant, and threaten todo terrible things. MR. PETER HERDIC, a millionaire of Williamsport wants a new county formed up in hiseountry, and wants the county seat located on some:sods belonging to him. He has - been to Harrisburg all winter, and himself and agents are said to have peewit ed some very /WO reasons to quite a numb& ofour legislator in favor of-the new county. Here is what the Pittsburgh Gazelle's Harrisburg cor respondent of last Thusiday had to say on this new county question: Tile Minaequa new county bill, af ter an amimated struggle yesterday, was passed to a third reeding in the House, and its friends hope to get it through early next week. I have not much doubt they wilt succeed, as the test votes so far bhow that Herdic and his lobbyists have got a majority varying from five to ten for their project, if they can hold them. The statements current among members, and freely and openly talked of, in regard to -the means adopted to get a majority for this bill, show a fearful amount ofcorrup tion. The fact that the bill has been put through by the use of money is hardly denied. Three hundred dol lars is said to be the price promised for the mass of the votes; one third to be paid on the final passage of the bill by the House, and the remain der contingent on the passage of the bill by the Senate and approval by the Governor. Thus you see a large lobby is enlisted in-the House to in fluence the hill elsewhere. Talking Members and tacticians, for the bill are rated at as hieh •as $9OO, and in one case I hear an influential speak ing representative was informed he would be counted worth five 41,- 500) of the ordinary purchased riff raff. He didn't bite. I heard on the floor this morning that some of the members, a little shaky, have al ready taken Herdic's "shilling," and and are thus inextricably Involved, fora lash is held over them, if they attempt to back out. EMI SHORTLY after the October election otlast year informations were made against two residents of Industry township—one named Proudlock and the other Sims—charging them with having voted at that election on fraudulent naturalization papers. Proudlock and Sling - were arrested, and at the November term of court true bills were founUgainst both of them. The evidence showing their guilt is Enid to have been singularly conclusive. On motion of their at torneys, however, the cases were not tried then, but continued till the March term. Last week the Prose cuting Attorney called them up with a view of having them tried. Im agine his surprise, when. instead, of the accused being brought forward to the bar of justice, their attorneys, showed him the following act of Assembly, and made its contents knoin to the court: • AN ACT To Change the Venue in Certain Cases from Beaver to Allegheny County. Savior; 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Represemtatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly mel, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That certain indictments now pending in the Vourt of Quarter ssions of the county of Beaver against William Sims, yeoman, and Thomas Proudlock yeoman for mis demeanor being numbers nine and thirteen of November term, Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and seventy two of said court be and the same are hereby removed to the Court of Quarter Sessions, of Alle gheny county for trial by a jury or juries at the June term or any subse quent term of said court together with the record of said causes and all the papers relating thereto, and that the said court is hereby authorized to proceed to trial, verdict and sen tence in the same manner and with the same force and effect as the said Court of Quarter Sessions of Beaver county might or could do, provided the said Court of Quarter Sessions of Beaver county in term time, or any judge thereof during vacation, may antYthey are hereby authorize d and required to cause recognizances to be entered into and given by said de fendants ofthe same amount as those in which they are now held, requir ing them to appear and answer in the,said indictment at therlune term of said Court of Quarter Sessions of the eounty of Allegheny nett ensu ing, and also to . require and take all other such recognizances as of the prosecutor or prosecutors, w.tnesses or others in the said ease as may be legal and necessary to the proper prosecution and trial of said defend ants in thecounts of Allegheny : And provided further, that the District Attorney of said county of Allegheny shall take charge of said cases, and control and prosecute the same as if said indictments had been found by the grand jury pf Allegheny County, nd provided further, that said coun ty of Allegheny, shall not be subject ed to any costs, or expenses, for or by reasons of the transfer and removal of the aforesaid indictments.

HARTRANFT As to when, where, or by whom this act was drawn up and "snaked" through the Legislature we have no information, but that it is intended to shield rogues and prevent the administration ofjustice there can be no doubt. These cases will now go to Allegheny county, th' papers will bedeposited in the pigeon holes of the prosecuting attorney's office there, perhaps tried after awhile and per haps never, but if tried little or noth ing will come of them. For it will be noticed that the act prescribes that the prosecuting attorney of this i...ounty—the officer who is in posses sion of all the facts in both cases—is to have no further connection with the trial of these offenders., It seems to us too, that the Legislature has assumed a good deal when it says that a Beaver county court, a Beaver county jury and a Beaver county prosecuting attorney shall not try Beaver county criminals, when a Beaver county grand jury sustains an information charging them with a high crime. We are old fashioned enough yet to believe that clemency to villians Is 1141131 kt to the State, and thus believing, we have nothing but condemnatory words for those who, either directly or indirectly, assisted in . bringing this change of venue about. A pure ballot is the "palladium of our liberties,"ainl no word or act of outs shall help to shield those who corrupt It. BANES, it seems, are responsible for money, bonds, &c. which are put into their care for sate keeping. In a suit tried 4n one of the Philadel phia eourts last. week in which David Scull was plaintiff and the Kensing ton Bank defendant the jury gave a verdict to the plaintiff for VOW. Scull had left Government bends amounting to that sum with the Bank for safe keeping. The Bank was robbed in IQ7I and there bonds, with othee henda, money, &e. were stolen.

The damsel straight way arose. drew a revolver from her pocket, and said, "Unless you d rive on without molesting my dog I'll make you eat this straw." There was a scene. Ladles left the car.

This is a free country, and anybodycan nom inate anybody for any office without being sent to the penitentiary for doing so. But still there may be such a thing as using a privilege rather too freely. There is a news- paper in Indiana which "hoists the flag" of O. P. Morton for President and Benjamin P. Butler for Vice- President in 1876! We don't know how Morton feels about this, but, both he and Butler have sense enough to know that these wild-cat nominations are apt to be particular ly fatal to all hopes of an election. —List to the touching tale of a ten der Teuton. Tie now thirty-eight years ago that, in his paternal land, he wooed a young and lovely maid. All his charms he tried in vain; his suit was mercilessly rejected.

He didn't marry, neither did he drown his sorrows in flowing bowls of beer, though doubtless, like others of his race he gave them a gentle and continuous soaking, Through the thirty.eight years lie remained constant to a memory, while the young lady married and was a wid ow twice.

This she offered in payment for some goods which she had pur chased, and the storekeeper sent it to Flegenheimer, to ascertain if it was genuine. When the check was handed to Flegenheimer, he tore it up. Mrs. Percles preferred a charge of larceny against him, and he was arrested. Justice Seymour, after ex amination, discharged him. Mrs. Percles has retired from the tnatri tnon:al agency business. —A woman's determination to part her hair at the side broke up a wedding at Bangor. Me.. last week. The company had all assembled, the clergyman was in his place, and the groom proceeded up stairs to escort his chosen one to the altar.

"To this the young man objected in the most decided terms, saying that it looked too bra. zen and "fast;" that the hair of a bride should be parted modestly In the middle. A sharp war of words followed, whicl► - resnited in a decla ration on the part of , the angry youth that he had taken *firm stand; that the hair must be redressed. or .he would never look upon it again. To this the girl replied that he might leave as soon as he pleased, and, leave he did. much to the disgust of the people who came to partake of the wedding-supper and were turned out of the_ house without it. —The proprietor of a hotel at Den ison', a town at the aouther4 termin us of the Missouri, Kansas, and Tex a Railway, thus makes a new -and irreverent edition of the Ten Com mandments, I.

TIIE - QUESTION OF DELEGATED POWER. • Opinion of the Court, by Agnew J. That a power conferred upon an agent because of his' fitness and the confidence reposed in him cannot be delegated by him to another 14 a general and admitted rule. Legisla tors stand in thillelation to the peo ple whom they represent. Hence it is a cardinal principle of representa tive government that the Legislature cannot delegate the power to make laws to any other body or authority. The true yestion in this easels, whether the act of May 3, 1871 (P- L., e 5Z2), "to allow the - voters of thetwenty-second ward csf the city of Philadelphia to vote on the ques tion of granting license to sell Intoxi cating liquors," is a delegation of legislative power. This must be de termined by an analysis of the pro visions of Monet itself, and depends not upon the numerical order of the selections, but upon the nature of the legislative determination when the act left the hands of the Assembly. Whatever the Legislature then deter mined to be is law, for so much VMS then a fixed and absolute resolve. What did the Legislature then deter mine absolutely? It enacted In the fiftlksection that any person who shanereafter be convicted of selling or offering for sale, in the Twenty second ward of the city of Philadel phia, any intoxicating liquors—spir ituous, vinous, malt, or other intoxi cating liquors—wit hoot alicense shall be sentenced to pay a fine of fifty dollars," etc. The provisions of the first, second and third sections are equally imperative and absolute, and may be summed up in a few words, viz: That a special election.shall be held in the Twenty-second ward at the next annual municipal, election, and every third year thereafter; that the constable of the ward shall give a certain notice of such special elec tion, at which time the question of license or no license will be submitt ed to the voters of this ward; that the election shall be held by the same officers, in the same manner, and under the same penalties prescribed by the general election law, and due returns of the election' made in a similar manner. The language is imperative and the law was absolute in all these respects when the act was approved by the Governor. We come then to the fourth section, which pro. vides that whenever, by the returns of election, it shall appear that there is a majority against license it shall not be lawful for any 'incense to issue for the sate of spirituous and other liquors in said ward, at any time thereafter, until at an election, as above provided, a majority of the voters of said ward, shall vote in favor of a license. What did the Legislature, in this section, submit to the people, and what did they not submit? This is quite as clear ns any part of the act. I.:arli elector is to vote a ticket for Lic6nse or against licence. He is allowed by the law to say, "I am lbr the tailing of license," or "I sun against, this issuing ut uud thus to express hlsjudenient or opin ion. But this is all he was permitted by the law to do. He declared no consequence, and prescribed no rule resulting from his opinion. Nor does the majority of the votes declare a consequence. The return of a ma jority is but a mere -numerical pre ponderance of votes, and expresses only the - Opinion of the greater num ber of eletbrs upon the expediency . or inexpediency of license in this ward, When this is certified by the returcethe Legislature,not the voters, declare "it shall (or it shall not)tse lawful for any license to be issued for the sale of spirtuous liquors AN EXPREASION OP PUBLIC ,SENTI- ••r , Thus it is perfectly manifest this law was not made, pronounced of ratified by the people, and: •the ma- jority vote is but an ascertainment of the public sentiment—the expres sion of a general opinion, which, - aStt, fact, the Legislature have made tiik contingency on which the lawstitill' operate. When the law came from the halls of legislation,. it came 'a perfect law, mandatory in all its parts, prohibiting in this ward the sale of intoxicating liquors without license; commanding an election to be held every third year to ascertain the expediency of issuing license, and when the Clio of expediency or inexpdiency snail have been re turned, commanding that license shall issue or shall not issue. Then what did the vote decide? .Clearly not that the act should become a law or not be for the law already existed. trideed, it was not delegated' to the people to decide anything. 'They simply declared their views or wishes and when they did so, it Was the fiat of the law, not their vote, which commanded license to be issued of not to be issued. Now In what respect does a vote upon license or no license, in a par ticular ward or township, differ from a vote whether a new township shall bo continued or annulled; or from a vote to determine whether a seat of Instice shall be continued where it is or be removed to another place; or from a vote for or against a subserip. Hon by a city to the stock of a rail• road company;, or from the vote of the people of a district for or against a consolidation 'of it - with a city? Yet in all these instances, (to which reference wilt be made hereafter), it has been decided that the determine. Hon of these questions by a vote of the people interested In them, and an enactment of law dependent on the result of this vote, are not a dele gation of the law-making power to the people. but a submission outgo( the expediency of the. Proposed measure. This is simple common sense, for in none of the instancesdid the Legislature commit to the peo; ple the making of the taw, but mere ly the *province of determining a matter important to wise and judi cious lmislation—something upon which the 'Legislature deemed •it proper its own act should wait, and then should operate accordingly. The wit of man cannot draw a well grounded distinction between the result of a vote upon license in a township, and the result of a vote upon the existence of a township, ur the removal of a court house, or a subscription to stock, or the consoli dation of an outlying district With a city. - • • The Legislative in the act of 1871 has given to the people a taw, not a mere insitatitm; needing no ratifica tion. no popular breath to give it vitality. The law is simply =tin gent upon the determination of the fact whether licenses are needed. or are desired in this ward. And why shall - not the Legislature take the sense cftheWpie 4. Is it not the right ofthe rishlture to seek in -formation of the 'condition of a locali ty, or of the public sentiment there? 'rho Constitution grants the power to Imislate. but itdoes not conferknowl edge.

If Oei admit the fact that the law now be fore us woof this character, an im perfect and unfinished act, a mere invitation to the people to Wee their subsequent mandate, and to breathe Into eel! its vitality and thus give to It all its validity and binding effi cacy as *Jaw, we might have tneon-: cede the conclusion that there was a delegation to the people of the power to legislate. 'But it is beyond cavil that when theftet of 1871 left the hells of legislation, it was a manatory law in all its parts, and the only thing committed to the people, was to vote for or agaiesethe issuing of license*, and theretw supply the evidence of expediency. It acts propria vfgore, and is called into existence by no subsequent popular mandate. By its command the sale of liquors is forbidden, the popular vote is taken, 1 and \ its effect declared. Thls popu lar Vote is. but the law's- appointed means of dterm Ining. a rceniewhich' the law acts, in an alternative f form, shat be the contingency of its operation„ The law did not spring from the vote, but the -vote sprang from the law and the law alone de clared them:sequence to flow from the vote.

What !ignore common than to ap point conttnissioners under a law to determine t Wigs upon the decision of which the act is to operate in one way or another? The courts exer cise powers dependent on their own discretion. Tate the case of grant ing a license to keenan inn and to sell liquor. The judge determines whether the license is necessary, and if not necessary the law EiStit to the applicant.., "No License." The law takes effeet just as the judge deter mines, yet who says it is the court that legislates? What is the differ ence,in essence,whether the necessity for places for the sate of liquors be determined by the people or the courts? Each in its place Is but an instrumentality Hof the law. The judge speaks, the people speak; hut each speaks by the authority of law, and the law commands the conse quence. The error of the argument is in attributiug the consequence to the voice that ,speaks, instead of to the law, which makes the people its own inouthni.ce, and has before hand proclaimed the consequence of the utterance. The people by virtue al the law declare the expediency of licenses in the ward, and the law it self has already enacted what shall follow this declaration. , Though contingent - in eirm, the law is man datory throughout in all it requires and all it determines. That is not less an act of sovereign power which says to the subject do this, end that shall follow; do that, and another thing shall follow. To the subject• a discretion Greeting is given,and as be decides,the lawipomounces t conse quence. ft is the sovereign which gives the law, not the subject. Then, the trite distinction I ', con ceive, is nibs: The Legislature can not delegate iin power to make a law, but it can make a law to dele gate a power to determine - I - some fact or state of things upon which the law makes or intends to make, its own action depend.-‘.To deny this would be to stop the wheels of my. eminent. There ere many 'things upon-which wise-and useful - tion must depend which cannot be known to thelaw-making viewer and Wist, therefore, be a subject of in quiry and determination outside of the halts-of legislation. Hence the necessity of the Municipal divisions of the-State into counties, townships, cities, wards. bmughs and district; to which is committed the power of determining many matters -necessa ry, or merely useful; to the local welfare. Can any one distinguish between committing the determin ing power to the autlioritiet -qf the district, and to thepeeple of the dis trict? If the power to determine the expediency or neemsity of _granting licenses to sell liquors In a.mnnielp ai division, can be committed to a-com mission. a council, era court which no one can dispute, why cannot the people themselves be - authorized to determine the saute thing? If a de ternsinining power cannot be delega ted, then thereon: be no power dale gated to City Contwils, commissions, and the Ilke, - -to pus ordinances by lawsand resolutions in the nature of laws; binding : and-affecting - both the persons and the pro • ny, of the citi. sens If adetermin :'power cannot be conferred by law,. can be no law that le not absolute, ,uncondi tional and peremptbry; and nothing which is unknown, uncertain and contingent catr4e the subject of rowan xoltZtrobitgb artkcotnebrux. anqattestlmresitild be Soo . ti a d re d powenc# would be In that Wh 111:deltwiteti _to the _Councils of Phliadelphier't* *eke Iteutiao-cal led.

See also:the 4th section of the Coneolida- Olt *MI - July 2,' 185 r "That - the bit/Walks posters- of tlid said city shall be vested in two bodies, to be called the Select and Common Coun cils." In pursuance of this power rights of person and property are regulated, BOW and " forfeitures Inflicted ! and discretionary powers are vested incommittete, depart ments and officers. Can .there tie a clearer inatance,of the exercise) of powers In their , nature legislative, by lue act of delegatkin? Yet, who believes that this isurilawful, or that it is really a delegation of the law making power In the sense of a dale gation of It from the hails of legb3la lion to the I Council chambers On the contrary, the charter of the city Is itself the law,'which breathes into these quasi legislativb acts of 'Coun cil all their life and power,and which, for useful 'and necessary local pur poses.,delegated-to Councils, not the power of making laws, but the dis cretion and „determining power, ne cessary to regulate 'Abe affairs ofa great eity,that. owing fa distance,and want of knowledge and of time, the 'Legislature cannot , determine for It self, but which by Its law It directs * to be done by others. Just at this point the opinion in Parker vs. Commonwealth evidently labors when it touches-this instance of dele gated pow4rs and attributes the effi cacy of corporation laWo to • the COO sent of the citizens, and affirms that the mlation between the municipal ity and the members is founded In contrast. But It is too clear for ar gument that ordinances derive their binding force from the law which au thorizes then, and not from com plete. The power to pass them Is delegated. and the true question is what is the nature of the delegated power? As alreadystated it is mere ty.a determining power, as to mat ters committed to -the discretion of the councils by law not a law, mak. tag power per se. Parker vs. Commonwealth was de cided by three Judges to two, with a strong dissent proceeding from the latter. In less than a year afterward a question arose upon a law; author- . )zing the people to determine by a vote, whether a new township should be continued or annuled. Common wealth vs. Judges Q. S.. 8 Barr, 291. The only attempt to distinguish the case from Parker vs. Commonwealth was by sayifig that In_the latter there was an exercise of sovereignty, of the POWER OP ENACTING A LAW BY BALLOT. while in the former there was au ex ercise of a subordinate function only, for the convenience of public busi ness. But we have already shown that the distinction rests on no dif ferencei and the assumption in Par ker vs.tommonwealth of the del egation of a legislative power being unfoutuled,tbeargumeut fat is.and the dititinction, in the Commonwealth ire. the Judges, falls with it. The Commonwealth vs. Painter, 10 Banc.;, , 214, occurred a year later. The law authorized the electors of Delaware county to determine by ballot whether the seat of justice should be continued at Chester or be removed taanother place, and In the event of a vote for . removal. that a commission should select the site and a court house be erected. The law was - held to be constitutional, the court not attempting to distinguish it from Parker vs. Commonwealth, excepting to say that the latter does not reach or cover the case in hand. The law, however, was examined in view of Parker va. Commonwealth. and the opinion was delivered by ewiter4., who had written an able diSsentleignplnton m tam ease. roar years !Ater came Moers vs. City of Reading, 9 Harris, 188. The law pro vided for taking the sense, • of the people upon a subscription to the stock of the Lebanon Valley Rail road Co., the subscription - being au tOrizedbt not as the people 'should eltakr t e u tpU n t! , i t r it v u o t r o . na ;I s b e e . N . , l 4, 3 f i w ae a t s c remarking. is argued that not'Ui - ekettien Of legislative' poVso ify the asseMbly but a sit eliwr Mega tion - of it to> the people of Reading. We cannot see it ln that light. Half the statties on our books are in the alternative, depending on the discretion of some person or persons, to whom isconfided the duty of de termining whether the proper occa sion exists for executing them. But ft cannot be said the exercise of such a discretion is the making of the law." This is the precise point which we have endeavored to show was over looked in Parker, vs. Common wealth, and the contrary assumed without proof. It is to be noticed, also, that Moers vs. City of It.ading was decided by an entirely new bench of Judges. These cases have been followed very recently In Smith vs. McCarthy, 0, P. F. Smith, 3u."9. A law forconsolidating certain outly ing districts with the city of Pitts burgh was made to depend upon the vote of .the people. It was held to he constitutional, Thompson, Chief J., remarking, "We do not regard it within the principle, which forbids the delegation of legislative power" There was also the common school system of the State, which, by the act,of 13th .Tune, 1835, section 13 was made dependent upon the vote of the peoPle of every district, by elec tion every third year. In many parts of the State the hostility to. the law was not intensely bitter, and the school law was not adopted in some districts for more than twenty years, yet it' has never been declared unconstitutional. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAWS AND G ItANTE; I have not thought it useful or ne cessary to notice the supposed dis tinction between acts of the Legisla ture as laws and as grants of sove rign prerogative, for the plain reason, that becemi bwanalysis of the act itself, and btz ng a.Mmdant precedents shown that it is a law in . Its nature and mandatory ehameter.the distinc tion has no place or application. If it were useful it might ,not be diffi cult to show that In our form of gov ernment, all grants of royal preroga- tive or offranchises are the nroduot of the exercise of the-legislative pow er only, and by the terms of the con stitution, in tbe lst section of the Ist article, must pass by the grant of the legislative power therein, or not at all. The Legislature cannot dele gate the power of aiming! laws re !sting to these subjects. more than they can delegate the power to legis late on other subjects. • Nor.have I thought It necessary to refer to the decisions in other Stat es . for the plain reason. also that our own decisions; sineeParker vs. Common wealth, rule the awe; while that ease was the forerunner of the decisions hralt file other States (except Dela ware); and with Ifs fall they have lost their chief prep and support.
