The st. Louis Rspxbljeaw says: The
regular term Of the Ray county Circuit
Court ct Richmond, Missouri, opened on
Monday last The session hes already been
. very interesting one. and strengthens our
confidence In IN enlightened and impartial
judiciary ~ bulwark Of The people against
tyrsnnical and unconstitutional legislation.
On Tuesday, the Court received petitions
and motions from John W. Shotweli and
Charles J. Hughes, Esqs., to practice law
without taking the oath required BY Tho new
Constitution Of this State, submitting to
the Court its oustitutionallty 10 relation to
attorneys II law. The applications were
taken up on. W sdnesday, followed BY very
able and interesting discussion, the counsel
on both sides displaying great learning and
eloqusnce; and the case was then referred
70 the Court for decision. A brief letter
from Richmond informed the Republican
that Judge King had just delivered his
opinion-deeloring the oath unconstitutional,
. az pos. faeto in its operation, and therefore
in violation Of the Constitution efth United
States. II 10 the first instance in which the
new Constitution has been brought to =
legal test, and We trust, As We have NO doubt
will be the case, that its odicus features
viii receive the same marked condemnation
~ every Court in Missouri.
