EE The opinions of Smith and
Wilton against granting the writ of Ha-
beas Corpus to Mr., Booth, have been
published. In Smiths opinion, the main
ground appears to be, that the State Court
has no right to presume in advance that
the U. S. Court will not hold the Fugi-
tive law unconstitutional and therefore
discharge Mr.. Booth. If however, it
should not, and Mr.. Booth is condemned
by that Court, he can then seek and OBJ
tain all the remedy which the fact that
the State Court has pronounced the law
unconstitutional will entitle him to.
This looks reasonable, although the
presumption that Miller's Court may de-
eide the law unconstitutional is a very
remarkable piece of presumption, and we
suppose belongs to the class of legal
fctionS of which we sometimes read.

Section 81 Of the Fourth Article Of the
Constitution of this State is in these
words: "No act shall ever be revised or
amended by mere reference to it's title,
but the act revised, or section amended.

length" The Supreme Court has recent
ly made decision which renders null

the new code was adopted, sustaining
the decision of q Circuit Court where it
wss held on suit upon promisory Eote.
that the Circuit Court has no jurisdi ction
because the law comforting it. was an
amendment. which did not reci.e the law
to be amended, in compliance with the
