GRIEVANCES.
Constitution Of Mississippi.-
One of the wors. grievances which
the people of Mississippi now do SUI.
fer is the lamcness Of the Constitu-t
ton, which places in the hands of the
clerks ofof the circuit court the pow
er ofsubverting the constitution, and
ofsetting aside entirely the judician
authorities of the land.
!. Constitution Of Miss. article Nv.
Judicial department Sec. As, says
''a circuit court shall be held in each
county ofthis State at least twice in
each year." @ sat *ssaa19nqe1i
On the first day of the term ofour
Circuit Court the clerk of this coun-
ty took occasion to resign his seat,
thereby preventing the holding Of
court. In Att la county the same
thing occurred, and the clerk of that
county was re-e!ected again to the Of
flee. In Holms county the clerk di-
ed a few days before the court was to
have been held, and there was mo
court. Thus we find that clerks of
the court have tin their power to set
at defiance the law of the land, and
to prevent the administration Of JUS
tice, and thus by a series ofresigning
we may 60 on without law for years,
Our jails are now full of criminals,
and our dockets crowded with cases
which it seems are never to be dis
posec Of The whole power over
the circuit courts is placed in the
one officer, who is superior to Judge
jury, constitution, law, and every
thing else! 1t is truo he has taken
an oath to support the constit~-
tion," and to discharge 'Jaithtully,
to tbe best Of his abilities the d.
tirs Of his c6ice," yet what does that
avail? " "..,' T. 2'22
Non residents, negro traders, New
Orleans and New York merchants
may sue our citizens in the U. States
District Court, yet if the individual
sued had at that time tho amount
due him he could not collect it BY
law.-Is this equal justice, and equal
rights. We ask the attention of our
legislature to this subject. They
should adopt measures for filling va
cancies in the event ofdeath or re-
signation. by appointments until the
regular election, and so amend the
constitution as to enable the courts
to be held ''at least twice in each
year," and not allow the wilful tram
