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.

the zitizens of this county,' has been
appointed Chief Justice! of Dakota.

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 War, William W.l3elk

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,

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.

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: •

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.

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

Which the argument rests.' If Oei

fore us woof this character, an im
perfect and unfinished act, a mere

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. The 'assumption- that the
act is not e law, till enacted by the
people, is the foundation of the argu
ment, and with it • e fall . the [super
structure (Vanishes'. Thii character
of this levels precisely that of hun
dreds of others, Which' the leglatte
tive will makes dependant on some
future net fact•tqr Its • operation.
To wan teeter law is teas than ii

Theta* is active and operates only
when man determines: Does man

• lonawlNO A PARALLEL.
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

Olt *MI - July 2,' 185 r "That - the

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

remarking. is argued that

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.
