Ner Questton.-We have heard it intimated
that the act of the Legislature creating the
office OF Judge of the Hus ings Court, is be-
iIeved 10 be unconstitutional, and that the
question Will probably be raised and argued
In the course of day or two. One of the
grounds taken is, that the Huslings Court
must consist of three or five Magis trates-not
of } udge. Another is, that If the Leglsiatur
has the right to divide the business of the Rich
mond Circuit, and take from Judge MereCi III
his criminal docket, it has the same right TO
make similar division in every Circuit and
county in the State, and thus destroy the en-
tire Circuits. The Constitution declares that
1.-The General Assembly may vest such juris-
diction as shall be deemed necessary in corpo-
ration Courts, and in the Magistrates who may
belong to the corporate body" but whether 1t
meant to give the Legislature the power to
create II Hustings udge, and TO give him juris-
diction over telonies-a power never enjoy ed
by the Hastings Court before-is a question
TO be settled by the highest tribunal in the
land. Without expressing any opinion on the
subject, we merely call attention 10 it, as likely
TO lead to able and interesting arguments,
when brought up.

Oaktvood Csmstsry may be made one of the

small expenditure, aud, of all places around
Richmond, is certainly the best located for Il
city of the dead. Oakwood is about one m lie
east of the corporate limits--ls in a quiet and
retired neighborhood-is on an elevated point,
overlooking deep valley-and lies well for
improvement. Besides natural oak grove OF
rare beauty, hundreds of young trees have
been plan ted and are growing rapidly, and the
grounds are laid off in sections OF such con-
venient size that every family can readily pur-
chase one. Shockoe Hill is rapidly filling up
and Hollywood will soon have but little space
to spare. Oakwood must then be looked 10 as
the only place of final rest for those who die
and it is therefore gratifying to see that il i.
t. be improved and beautlfied.

their arrival at Havana their conduct was SO
bad that he had TO have them imprisoned. On
the return trip they made freq uent threats, IL

no danger of being attacked by them.
