Constitutional Convention
From the meagre reports which
reach us of the doings of the Constitu •
tional Convention, we are prevented
ftom giving our readsrs any taugible
information of the workings of the
Convention. Committees make re-
port*, but no *ooner are they reported,
than eome of the wieesolons spring up
to oppoee or amend the report, which
givee them a chance to let off *ome j
pent up gass, whether germane to the
subject or not, make* no difference
with them —talk they will, aud talk
they mast, reminding us of Dean Sim
ple's saying that "the nosiest Devil in
the army is the drummer." The con
test now going on in the Convention
is on the flesh-pet of biennial and an
nual elections and meetings of the sen
atom and representatives. We agree
much can be said, pro and con, on
this subject. The friends of biennial
sessions of the legislature insist that if
the legislature meets but once in two
yearn, it will break up the 3rd
house of lobbyists, prevent traud,
peculation, bribery, Ac. If it would
have this effect, it would do some
good. But ia thia not a superficial
view of the case ? Who is to prevent
the legislative borer and corruption
ist of special legislation from visiting
the member* elect at their homes and
arranging matter* before they meet at
• Harris burg ? They could do so more
secretly and with better effect than in
the lobby of the legislative hall. Be
sides two years is too long to have an
unworthy member fixed upon, with
out any redress for two years We
have our donbts of any salutary bene
fit or advantage, that is to be served
to the interest annual legislative
acts, so much required by the citizens
of this great and progressive common
wealth, by having the legislature to
meet biennally. We admit that if
the Convention can prevent corrup
tion, fraud aud bribery in the legisla
ture, so much needed, it is their duty
to do so by some effective plan.
Connected with this biennial and
annual elections, dbc., is the rights of
majority and minority parties. Shall
this be adjusted by the cumulative
plan of voting? We believe that one
of the most common errors prevailing
amongst the people, is, that at major'
ity hat in all eases a right to govern.
As a Democrat, we contend that it is
said more appropriately by President
Jefferson in his first message, to Con
gress in this subject, viz: "All, too,
will bear in mind this sacred princi-
pie, that though the will of the ma
jority is tn all eases to prevail, that i till
to be rightful must be reasonable, that
the minority possess their equal rights,
which equal laws most protect, and to
violate would be oppression."
It will be manifest' to any reflect
ing mind, that there exists no natural
right in any set of men, to decide upon
the rights of another set. If any
right at all exists, it must be a con
ventional right, that is, a right con
ferred by an agreement or compact
between all the parties. If three men
accidentally fall in company together,
who would pretend that any two of
them had a right to make the other
submit to any regulation they would
impose upon him, because they were
a majority —no one would pretend
this. If, however, three men should
unite on an agreement, stipulating
that the decision of two of them should
be obligatory on the third, in that
case the minority would be bound to
submit—but this right in the major
ity to rule, is clear, would result from
the compact or agreement Thus in
societies, clubs, associations for useful,
beneficial and charitable objects, when
it is said in their constitutions that
two-thirds shall be required to admit
new members, or to expel a member,
or to draw funds from the treasury, or
to accomplish some other particular
object, in all these cases it is manifest
that the majority does not govern, see
ing that the agreement has expressly
declared otherwise. Ik is the compact
that settles it, and until that be alter
ed, there is no remedy. Here in our
own state we find that less than a ma-
jority of all the qualified voters can
• choose the governor, a plurality of
vote* being sufficient to elect, as was
the case when Wolf, Afublenberg. and
Bitner were the gubernatorial candi
dates. Ritner was elected, baviog but
a plurality of votes, and not a major
ity of votes cast; so that if we bad
six candidates, a governor might be
elected constitutionally by a single
vote more than one sixth of the whole
body of voters* Nor are the members
of the Penn'a legislature, strictly
speaking, elected by a majority of the
qualified voters. A plurality of the
qualified voters in each election dis
trict is sufficient to determine the
choice, and besides this, the very prin
ciple of voting by election districts,
and not by a general-ticket, may com
pletely give a minority of the people a
majority in the legislature, which has
often happened by unjust and parti
san districting the state.
When power is therefore given at
all, it must of necessity be given to a
majority of the body that exercises it;
but still, in such cases we find that so
jealous of power were our ancestors in
the formation of the federal and state
governments, that they interposed
many restrictions upon the majority.
Witness the Bill of Rights and pro
bltory clauses in most of our state con-
Ititutions. The veto has been given!
to the individual citi/en, Provident or
Governor, to prevent preeipitnucv and
avoid danger front legislation in
momenta ofexcitemcut or othereau*o. !
and he may niilc in conscious seour
ity, and bid defiance to the majority,
ns it requires a two third vote to pass
a bill over the veto. The Comlitu
tion of the V. S. can not be fcltMtd Of
amended without the ratitication of
two-thirds of the ftnies of the I nion.
lu all these case* it is manifest that
the majority does not govern Ihe
saving, "that the majority ought to
I rule," is to be received with many re-
strictious. It is true on A in one
sense, and that is, that the majority is
to rule in matter # com milled to ii* eon
fro/ by lAs Owtsftifufson, aud in no nth
er*. The object of all free conttilu<
lions is to limit the power of the ma
jority and to regulate its exercise.
Despotism is not less inexorable for be
ing iu the hands of many, instead of
one, or a few ; beyond the limits as
signed by the Constitution, a majority
has no more right to rule, thau tho
miuority, or an individual; the ma
jority consisting of a thousand
to one has no more right- to de
cide that my property shall ho given
to another, or prescribe mv religious
faith, than has a minority or an in
dividual. On the other baud, there
iis also a saying, which is admitted to
Ibe true, that" the minority ouyht not to
' rule." Their sphere of action like
' that of an individual, is, net to rule,
but to reeist the exercise of power not
given by the Constitution. It may
stop the unauthorised action of the
majority, hut can not act itself. In a
word, its proper office is to defend the
limits of the Constitution aguiust the
ever acting tendancy of the majority
to encroach upon the minority —for it
the interests of the constituents of a
majority of Representatives should be
adverse to the constituents of a mi
nority, it is the direct interest of that
majority to oppress the majority.
This should be prevented if possible.
Let justice be done to all qualified
citizens.
Not having seen Mr. Buckalew's
treatise on cumulative voting, aud
what plan he has advocated to secure
the rights of the minority iu legisla
tion, we are unable to speak of its
merits or demerits, but find front re
ports that Mr. Buckalew is satisfied of
its feasibility and justice iu having it
incorporated in the Constitution. But
one thing is required of the Conven
tion, and that is. to provide for the
election of United Suites Senators,
either by general vote of the legal
votes of the state, or require a two
third vote of the legislature to elect.
In auolher columu we give the clos
ing proceedings in the Credit Mobilier
scandal. Ames and Brooks, it will
be seen, were only "absolutely cen
sured" by a vote of the House, while
the rest went off with a thick plaster
of white-wash.
In the senate, the committee unani
mously report in favor of exjielliug
Senator Patersoo, while the balance
of the Senatorial Mobilieritcs get off
with a white-washing, like those of
the House.
Mr. Orvis, in the House, on 24th,
presented a heavy centennial petition
fVom this county —for half a million
—with the following remarks:
Mr. OrvU: I present the petition of
eleven citizens of Centre county in favor
of granting the appropriation asked for to
the National Centennial Commission. At
it is the petition of about one-eighth-hun
dreth of the taxpayers of the county, I
hope this House will be strongly impress
ed with the necessity of granting their
prayer.
ID the senate, on 26th, Mr. Wal
lace, reported from committee, an act
to repeal the state tax on horses,
mares, cattle, trades, occupations and
professions.
Mr. Rutan in the senate, presented
the petition of twelve hundred citizens
of Beaver county asking the Legisla
ture to pass a joint resolution, instruct
ing our Senators and requesting our
members of Congress to vote for the
bill to prevent the further importa
tion of Chinese labor.
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
The following has been adopted by
a large majority to be part of the new
Constitution, viz:
SEC. 2. That women of the age of
twentv-one years or upwards shall be
eligible to any office of control or
management under the school laws of
the State.
An exchange asks: In trying to
prove that he didn't receive one bribe
of $1,200, Colfax has proved that he
took four other bribes of SI,OOO each.
What would be the result of his at
tempting to explain the four other
bribes ?
The Ames-Brooks Resolutions.
No memberofthe house believes that
the resolutions of the Poland commit
tee, recommending the expulsion of
Representatives Ames and Brooks,
can secure even the majority of the
house, much less the two-thirds vote
required by the constitution for such
purpose. Borne of the members of
both political parties express their
opinion that instead a general resolu
tion of censure will be passed affect
ing all members of the house who
were concerned in the credit mobilier
operation. At least twenty gentle
men are prepared to speak ou the sub
ject.
The Agricultural College bill, now
before Congress and discussed ou
ifouday in the Senate by Messrs.
Windom, Sherman and others, is an
interesting measure. It proposes that
one half of the public lands be forev
er disposed of to endow the projected
institutions — which is equivalent to a
pledge of $94,000,000. Truly it is a
magnificently generous scheme ! Who
gave Windom & Co., authority to
make a gift of the public domain after
this fashion ? About the best thing
Congress can do just now is to keep
its hands off public property. Enough
of the broad acres of the United States
have already been donated in the
shape of grants to railroad companies.
If the balance is to be disposed of the
people would probably prefer to let
another Congress than the XLIInd at
tend to it. Tbey are not desirous that
the gentlemen of Credit Mobilier con
nection, and others of like odor, take
such onerous respousibilty upou them- ;
selves. Hands off I
Judgment Day.

W vaitINUTOK Fob. '2s.—lloue.
The crowd in attendance was immense.
Nothing has equalled it since the in
auguration of ticueral Grant. An ar
rangtment was made whereby the
doors of the house galleries were not
opened nntil half ja*t ten o'clock,
half an hour before the meeting o| the
house. Hut as early as nine o'clock
there was a perfect iaiu, chokiug all
the cntraoeee to the Imll of house.
As soon as the doors were opened
there was a terrific rush for the gal
leries, many failing down in their at
tempt to get seals. After every avail
able spot in the galleries had been till
ed to overflowing, the floor of the
house was thrown open to ladies. In
a short time it was crowded, many
members surrendering their seats to
ladies.
The readiug of the journal of yeeter
dav aud the presentation by the speak
er "of the budget of executive docu
ments occupied nearly three quarter*
of an hour. At a quarter to twelve
the speaker announced the special or
der to he the resolutions reported
from the Poland committee for the ex
pulsion of Oakes Ames and James
Brooks.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, as if
unprepared, moved that the house go
into committee of the whole on the
legislative appropriation bill, on which
Mr. Garfield, of the committee on ap
propriations, intimated to Mr. Butler
that it would be just as well for him
to atteud to his own business and
leave the committee on appropriations
to manage their own affairs, a rebuff
which brought the laugh against Mr.
Butler.
Mr. Poland then opened the case
for the prosecution in a speech, recit
iug the tact aud justifying the report
of the select committee. After show
iug by the testimony that at the time
of the transaction "the stock of the
credit raobilier was worth from 200 to
300 per cent, he asked whether Mr.
Ames was so utterly inseusible to
profit which he could bare derived
irom that stock had be choeeu to sell
it, that he preferred to let members of
congress have it without any profit to
himself. How came his charitable
disposition all at once to be so extend
ed in favor of membeeo of congress?
His ostensible busiueas in Washing
ton that winter was his position as a
member of the bouse, but his actual
business was the peddling of ten shares
of stock in a place to member* of con
gress
Mr. Poland went on with his argu
ment and said that there was some
balancing motion in the mind of Mr.
Ames which induced him to let cer-;
tain men have this stock at par when
be could have got two or three or four
times as much tor it. Was there any
possible doubt about the motive of Mr.
Ames ? He bad designed to get this
stock into the hands of members not
merely to relv on a feeling of grati
tude which they might have to bias
because he bad given tbem something
worth two or three or four time* as
much as they paid for it But he
relied on something stronger than
that.
The clerk then proceeded to read a
lengthy speech of Mr. Ames.
The peroration was splendidly read
so that even the sensibilities of Mr.
Ames himself could not be restrained
sufficiently to keep tears from suffu
sing his eyes, and it was received with
half suppressed murmurs of approba
tion all over the house.
Mr. Potter, reverting to the two
precedent* cited by Mr Poland to day
remarked that though the persona re
ferred to were expelled for acta com
mitted before their election yet they
had been indicted for them during the
sitting of parliament.
Mr. Farneworth then rose and pro
ceeded to make an argument in favor
of the accused and against the conclu
sion of the select committee.
Passing to the caso of Mr. Brooks
Mr. Farnsworth called attention to
the fact that the matter charged
against him took place during the
time when Mr. Brooks was not a mem
ber of congress and when he was under
no greater obligations of duty in regard
to the matter than were Mr. Durmnt,
Mr. Dillon or any one of these gen
tlemen who were engaged io the en
terprise.
After parsing eulogies on the char
acters of Mr. Ames and Mr. Brooks
he remarked that he was not as he
was about to leave the ball going to
ihtow stoues at these men. It was
most deplorable that such men should
be siugled out for these shafts.
Mr. Merrick, one of the democratic
members of the select committee, took
the floor. He commenced bis re
marks in so low a tone as to be scarce
ly audible at the reporter's desk. He
expressed his regret at finding himself
in the painful position of defsnding the
report of the committee, particularly
that part of it in which the committee
was supposed to have whitewashed
other members who had received cred
it mobilier stock. He who so read
that report totally misunderstood its
scope and purpose.
In respect to Mr. Brooks' case the
committee could not shut its eyes to
the lact that he must have known
I from the beginning all the relations
! between these two corporations. Mr.
Books had claimed an interest in the
credit mobilier stock, and when his
claim wag conceded, not as a right,
then, said Mr. Merrick, he reveals his
guilty knowledge too patent for any
eye to fail to see it. The very mo
ment of its concession to him he says
that he, being a government director,
cannot take it in his own name.
Mr. Sheilabarger, alluding to the
statement that Oakes Ames had con
trived the thing with satanic skill and
had keDt back from tbe parties with
whom he dealt tbe information which
would have repelled them if they had
kuown what he did, asked whether
the committee had had any proof be
fore it to show that tbe statement con
tained in Oakes Ames' letter of tbe
25th January, 1878, was not true,
namely . "Part of the purchasers hers
are poor and want their bonds to sell
to enable them to meet their payment
of the stock of the credit mobilier. 1
have told them what they would get
as dividends and they expect it."
Mr. Merrick replied that there was
no evidence before the committee that
Mr. Ames had made any such state
ment to them. There was no evidence
as to what communication had taken
place between them except the state
ments of Ames and themselves, Mr.
Merrick went on to quote the evi
dence bearing on tbe point, of the
guilty knowledge of Brooks, and then
asked whether the committee was not
justified in saying that the pretext be
tween Brooks and Neilson was a mere
sham, and that in point of fact Neil
son was but the figure head of the
ownership and Brooks the man who
derived the fruits of the contract, and
continued to enjoy them throughout
aud enjoy them to the present day.
The speaker laid before the house
the President's message in reference to
Louisiana. The message having been
read, Mr. Morey moved to refer the
message to the judiciary committee.
Mr. Poland thru moved a recenn till
7:30 n. m. with n statement that he
would uot call for a vote to-night, but
that the soaaiou should be for debate
on the pending resolution.
Mr. W. R. Roberta moved an ad
journment. lawt amid a good deal of
|con(Viiiou and a variety of propoii
• tionw and suggeetious.
The house at five o'clock took a ro
cess till 7:90 p. ro., the evening seas ion
to be for debate only and nolnulnea*
whatever to be transacted.
The hamiuer fell, the debate closed
and the House was brought face to
face with the question.
Mr. Parnaworth, for the purpose of
referriug the whole matter to the pub
lic, moved to lav it on the table. The
vote was taken by yeas and nays, re
resulted—yeas, 5y ; nays, 164.
While the House was voting on the
resolution to lay the whole Credit Mo
bilier matter on the table, Mr. llrooks
held his head down, apparently absorb
ed in rcadtug.
Mr. Atuee sat iu oue of the front
seats bowing bis bead ou his hands,
apparently following the vote atten
tively. A boquel stood ou the desk
before him.
The vote was taken iu perfect si
lence, with solemn stillness prevailing
the hall, so that the respouse* were dis
tinctly heard. The memliers' seats
were all filled and the galleries pack
ed.
The next question was on substitu
ting Jfr. Sargent's resolutions fur those
reported by the Select committee.
The vote was: yeas, 115; uays,
Mr. Eldridge ami Voorhces
(Ind.), having originally voted, uow
changed their votas to aye, aud en
deavored U> give their reason*, but
were not permitted under '.he rules,
which forbid debate during the roll
call.
The question then recurred on the
first of Mr Sargeut's resolution?, as
follows:
Resolved, That the House absolute
ly condemns the conduct of Oakas
Ames, a member of this House from
the Bute of Massachusetts, in seeking
to procure Congressional attention to
the affairs of a corporation iu which
he was interested, and whoee interest
directly depends on the legislation of
Congreaa, by inducing members of
Congress to invest in the stock of said
corporation.
'The resolution was adopted—Yeas,
181; nays, 36, Mr. Brooks voting in
the negative.
The next resolution of Mr. Sargent
was then voted on.
Rtioived, That the House absolute
ly condemns the conduct of James
Brooks, a member of thin House from
New York, for the use of his position
of Government Director of the Union
Pacific railroad and of a member of
this House, to procure the assignment
to himself or family of slock in the
Credit Mobilier of America, a corpor
ation having contract with the Union,
Pacific railroad, and whose interest
depended directly upon the legislation
of Congress.
The resolution was adopted—yeas
174; nays 32.
KvcirntQ SESSION.
The house took up the resolution
censuring Mr. Kclley, of Pennsylva
nia, offered by his colleague, Mr. Specr
Mr. Kelley rose and made a rery long
speech in defense of himself.
A motion to lay on the table the res
olution censuring Mr. Kelley was
made by Mr. Maynard and it was
agreed to, 117 to 75.
Mr. Sargent offered a resolution dis
charging the select committee "en the
credit mobilier matter from further
consideration of the subject. Agreed
to, 114 to 75.
The Speaker tbeu stated that that
action removed the matter entirely
from the consideration of the house.

LOCAL OPTION BEFORE THE SU
PREME COURT.
Supreme Court in Banc, at Philadelphia
Monday 17th—Chief Justice Read, and
Judges Sharswood, William*, and Mer
cur.
Tha Court next called for argument tho
cases of tha Commonwealth vs. Locke,
Locke's appeal and the City of Philadel
phia's appeal, involving the constitution
ality of the Local Option act, and which
ware put on argument together as onaj
case. Judge Porter, F. C. Brewster, i
William H. Rawle, C. H. T. Colia ami'
William J, McElrwy represented the affir-i
■native of tho auostion, namely, the consti
tutionality of toe statute, while the nega
tive was maintained by George W. Bid
die and W. L. Hirst
Tho cut, as our render* doubtle** re
membtr, wu in thit wise: Last spring a
number of hotel keeper* of the Twenty
second werd (Germantewn) applied to the
City Commiuioner* for a license toiell li
quor, according to tho provisions of the
act of April 20, 1868, the commiuioner*
declined to iuuethe licente, and Justiflca-
Hon of their course set forth the act of May
S, 1871, authorising the citicens of the
Twenty-second ward to decide by popular
vote whether licenso* should or should not
be luued to that ward, and the fact that
tho majority of votes at tho election held
was cast against license. *
The relators then asserted the unconsti
tutionality of the act of 1871, and therefore
prayed tho Court of Common Plea* by
mandamus to compel the Commissioners
to issue the licenses; and after a lengthy
argument, which was at the time fUlly re
ported in this column, the Court affirtnod
the Constitutionality of the statute and ro
fused the petition.
Thereupon these appeals were taken,
and the question was brought before the
Court of last resort, all the judges sitting
to participate in the discussion.
On the part of the relators it is main
tained, first, that by Article 1, Section 1,
of the Constitution, the legislative power
•f the Commonwealth is vested in the Leg
islature alene, and the Legislature connot
delegate to the people power to enact new
laws or to ropeal existing laws which af
fect tho property or bind the political or
social rights of the citieen.
If aa act whon passed by both houses of
the Legislature and signed by the Govern
or is complete and in force and goes into
operations without the sanction of any
other body, it Is the result of the legiti
mate exercise of legislative power exercis
ed by the properly constituted body, but
if it require the sautien of any third party,
then tarns was a delegation of the tegtala-
live power, which eould not be mad* uo
der our renstitutioa.
The Legislature may pass a law to taks
s fleet only upon the happening of some fu
ture contingency, but the event or change
of circumstances, oa which such a law may
be made to take effect, must be such as, in
the JuJginent of the Legislature, affsots
the question of the espediency of the law
an event oa which the espediency of the
lew, in the judgment of ths law-makers de
! ponds.
These apparent sscsptions to the broad
rue), above staled, are to be found la that
class cases where either Congress or a
Stale Legislature has passed acts which
are only to take effect upon the happening
of a future event which cannot be deter
mined until alter the sitting of that body
has terminated. Then, if a new law can
not ha enacted by the people, as editing
law cannot bs repealed by them, and ths
Legislature ran ao more delegate tU au
thority to the people to repeat editing
laws than to snarl new oaas, and many
acts in relation to selling liquors and the
method of procuring licences are at pres
ent in fores, which would be repealed by
the votes efcitiaens, if this act were con
stitutional.
But this act gees further, by declaring
that ths law, as thus declared, shall con
tinue in fei ce only until anew and sub
sequent vote ef the Vetera ef Oermantewn
shall pronounce the law to he somewhat
different. The law is not fsed and final
when the vote Is taken, but is subject to be
altered anew from time to time, provided
a majority of the voters sbali vote differ
■ sntly.
Secondly, the authoritiag ef municipal
curporatioa* to do certain acta, such at to
contract particular debt, te subscribe to
improvement, to impose tsxes for local
purposes, to pass by-laws, etc., is no dele
gation of the law-making power, provided
that no act thus authorised abridges or en
larges any ef thoee rules of conduct thst
•flWt the social aad political rights of a
citiaea; when they do so ths law is pre
fjufo unconstitutional.
All propositions te submit to the vote of
the people isw* prohibiting the licensing
or tele ef liquors have beea held unconsti
tutional and thsrefore invalid. Thirdly,
an act making it wholly illegal and penal
to carry en the business, lawful at com
tnon law, is a law affecting the property
and social and political right* ef the citi
, sen, and the Legislature cannot delegate
|th* power to pass er repass such a law to
any body, much less te th* people of a lo
cal district.
That th* of liquors *u lawful at
common law caaaot be questioned , thk
act proposed to authorise the people of tba

but th* Stat* retain* *v*ry attribute of

Federal Constitution confers power* par

instrument k strict against those who

cannot exereie* any power prohibited in

lie* e reel field of power, granted to the
legislature by the general word* of the
Constitution, and not reserved, prohibited
or given away to other*. Of thi* field the
general Assembly are entitled to the fall
end uncontrolled poeeeseien. Their use ef
; it cen be limited only by their own discre
tion. The question in this end every other
eet* ef a like character is, where it the
, prohibition ia the Censlitutiea against the
ranking of thi* particular lew? Whet is
there in it which la, beyond doubt, a utur
petion ef power oa the part of the Legisla
ture, which that body is forbidden by the
Constitution to exercise ? It is certainly
not in the form of the law, tha manner of
it* enactment, or the subject upon which it
legislate*. If the opponents of this act
1 mean that the Legislature canaet delegate
to the people the right to enact law* bye
popular vote, it may be admitted; but, on
the other head, it ia contended that the
| Legislature can lawfully delagata to the
people the right la determine ia any way
defined by law whether a law enaeted by
the Legielatare iteelf ehall be operative or
restrained ia its opnralioa; aad that the
Legislature can lawfally enact lew, pro-
viding at tha same time that it shall Uka
effect, or after having gone iato effect,
hall cease its operation, according as a fa
lure contingent event shall or shall not oc
j cur. and that thia contingent event may be
dependent on the result ef a pepular vet*
by the people to bt affected by the lew
This seems to be pla**d beyond question
j by tbe case* dieiififl mm Mb* (abject af rail
road subscriptions by particular munici
palities, Aa. This dispose* of tbe caa* of
Commonwealth va. Parker. It is main-'
tained thai thia act was a living operative
law the mement it received the signature
of the Executive. The people are only to
decide whether the particular event, that,
ia, a majority vota agaiaat license, shall
happen, upon tha happening of which the
granting of liceneea ia to be retained. As
was said ia Parker's case, "tka tow re
mains quiescent until the happening ef
the appropriate event stirs it into mo
tion," aad such a law is in that case called
a conditional law, and is prodounced aon-
st notional.
Tho Legislature gave tbe tow all it* vi
tality ; ties people only brought an event
io pom, bjr which the law, alraady perfect
was aapead to activ# exercise. Precisely
auch a principle is found ia the Common
School act of 18M. Before thia act tha aato
af liquera was prohibited, except under
certain restriction*, and now anly an ad
ditional roetrictioa is added, which ia that
the applicant for a licansa shall have a ma
jority of the vats* of bis fellow-cilixens in
favor ef hia application.
