FOUR/EDITORIALS.
Although two weeks have elapsed since the
Cortland Journal was appointed the official Republican paper of Cortland
county the Tompkins street weekly still parades that title at its masthead. It
may have become a second nature to it to keep the title standing, but things
have changed, and for the next year at least it must haul that sign down.—Cortland
Journal.
Pluck the mole from thy own
eye before trying to remove the beam that you think you see floating in the
peeper of your neighbor. At the masthead of the Journal runs this legend:
"Appointed by Board of Supervisors Official Newspaper of Cortland County."
Now we have examined the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors pretty
carefully since the board convened to date and we must confess that if any such
appointment has been made it has slipped our notice. Please state more fully
when things changed or else "haul down the sign."
The Cortland correspondents of
the Syracuse Journal and Herald have been censuring Police
Justice Bull of this place for sending criminals to the County Alms House instead
of the County Jail or Onondaga penitentiary. The charge is without a particle
of foundation and the only reason it is made is because Justice Bull is a
Democrat. Since he has been in office he has sent but three men to the County
Alms House, and they were proper subjects for the home and he did his duty in
sending them there. If he had sent them elsewhere he might justly have been blamed
for his action. The Police Justice has few criminals come before him. He orders
vagrants out of town the first time they are arrested and gives them notice that
if they appear the second time they will be sent to the penitentiary. It costs
$16 to send a man to the penitentiary and $2 per week for his board while there.
If every vagrant and plain drunk brought before Justice Bull during the year
was sent to the penitentiary it would bankrupt the county in a short time to foot
the bills. Justice Bull is a model officer as every one admits and instead of
being criticised he should be commended for the excellent judgment and discretion
exercised in discharging the duties of his office.
Reversing Himself.
Judge George N. Kennedy of
Syracuse issued an order last week requiring the Board of County Canvassers of
Onondaga county to canvass the vote of that county for Mr. Peck and declare the
result on the face of the return. The board complied with the order. It was
then pointed out to him, that the order if insisted on would elect Mr. Ryan the
Democratic candidate for member of assembly in the First District. To avoid
this, he issued an order requiring the Board of Canvassers to send the returns
in that district back to the inspectors of election and have the same changed.
When his attention was called to this sudden change of front he disregarded the
fact entirely. In arguing the question the counsel for the Board of Canvassers,
Mr. Louis Marshall, called the attention of the Judge to an opinion written by
him at General Term in the case of the People vs. Reardon, a case exactly like
the present case, but of course it made no difference to Kennedy. Here is his
opinion in that case:
"If this Court can
command the inspectors how to act in counting the ballots after they have once
acted, it arrogates to itself the power to control the result of an election.
We find no authority for the exercise of such power, nor are we willing to
concede its existence. To yield it as it seems to us, is to establish a
dangerous precedent in regard to a matter of the utmost importance to the
people, and in a government like ours, one fraught with incalculable mischief.
The Board of Inspectors upon making and filing its certificate, has fully
discharged its official duty, and therefore, became functus officio as a
Board. A writ directed to them would be of no effect, since they could not
legally again convene as a body and undo the acts done at a prior time and when
in the proper discharge of official duty. People ex rel. Bailey vs. Supervisors
of Greene. (12 Barb.,217; 15 id., 607.) A majority of the Board of
Inspectors having made a return with a certificate of the result of the
election, and filed the same with the City Clerk, it is now in the hands of the
City Canvassers, and the matter has passed from the control of the
inspectors."
The opinion refers to the case
of the People ex rel. Sanderson vs. the Board of Canvassers of Greene county, wherein a judge granted a writ of mandamus
requiring the Board to send back the returns to the Inspectors and then granted
a second writ commanding the Inspectors to make a corrected and amended return.
Judge Kennedy's opinion says in regard to this Sanderson case: "We
cannot yield to the argument of the learned judge in the Sanderson case. That
when an inferior tribunal has assumed to act, and by mistake or otherwise has
acted irregularly, it may be treated as not having acted at all, and that the
error committed may be remedied through the instrumentality of a writ of mandamus.
It seems to us more in harmony with the prerogatives of the writ, if it shall
be confined to its legitimate use of compelling inferior officers to act in
case of refusal, and not extended and made available to correct alleged errors
in proceedings by them already had."
Marriage Certificates.
(Albany Times-Union,
Nov. 28.)
In view of the many marriages
occurring at this season, brides and grooms should be reminded of the
essentials of their marriage certificates. It is well known to lawyers that the
certificates usually given on such occasions are fatally defective and of no
value of evidence of the marriage. While it may be important if the marriage is
public and celebrated in the presence of hundreds of people, yet, as few
marriages are so celebrated, the certificate becomes important as years pass
by, sometimes to establish a claim for dower, or the legitimacy of children, or
even in a prosecution for bigamy.
Under the laws of this state,
the marriage certificate must be signed by the clergyman or magistrate
officiating, and should state: (1.) The names and residences of the parties married
and that they were known to the clergyman or magistrate, or were satisfactorily
identified by the oath of the parties themselves, or by a person known to him;
and the clergyman or magistrate is authorized to examine witnesses on oath, and
false swearing is perjury; (2.) that the parties were of sufficient age to
contract marriage; marriage; (3.) the time and place of marriage; (4.)
the name and place of residence of the attesting witness or witnesses, and (5.)
that after due inquiry made there appeared no lawful impediment to such marriage.
(4 Rev. Statutes, Banks, 8th ed., p. 2597, sect. 13.)
We advise our readers to
examine their certificates of marriage, and if they are found not in accordance
with the law as above stated, to have the same corrected at once. A man
recently prosecuted for bigamy escaped conviction because the only evidence of
the first marriage was a certificate in the defective form commonly given by
clergymen.

About Tammany Hall.
The Rochester Union says:
The veriest tyro in State politics knows that Tammany Hall outside of its
general support of Democratic principals and candidates in the State and the
United States, is purely local in its objects. It has no special interest whatever
in the State government beyond a desire that the Executive and Legislative departments
shall keep hands off and allow the vast majority of the people of New York city
to govern themselves in their own municipal affairs—allow the vast majority to
have home rule, instead of undertaking to govern them from Albany by State
statutes enacted from time to time by men from interior cities and country
towns who enjoy self-government and home rule in municipal affairs themselves and
who have no appreciation of the requirements and necessary expenditures of the
great metropolis of the country.
Tammany Hall, or the
representative body of the people of the city of New York, at Albany, stands
there upon the defensive, not on the offensive. Upon general legislation
affecting other parts of the State it seeks no "control" whatever,
and votes upon such legislation simply for the general good. So far as any
"control" beyond the local affairs of its constituency is concerned,
Tammany Hall cares no more about it at Albany than at Washington.
