In ERaoR.-The 10th Section of Article q
of the new Constitution OF Maryland, provides
that " all civil officers appointed by the Gov
ernor and Senate, shall be nominated to the
Senate within fifty days from the commence
ment of each regular session of the General
Assembly and their term of office, except in
leases otherwise provided for in this Constitu-
ton, shall commence on the first Monday of
May next ensuing their appointment" &C.
The 47th Section of Article A, OF said Con-
stitntion, provides that Justices of the Peace
shall be appointed by the Governor, "by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate p
The 9th Section of Article 10, provides that
all officers now holding Office shall continue
to hold aud exercise their offices until they
shall be superseded pursuant to the provisions
of said Constitution.
These sections show, we think, that the late
Governor (Bradford) has fallen into error in
issuing commissions to Justices, since he is
not authorized to do so Except to fill vacan-
cies) until his nominations are confirmed by
the Senate, at regular session. The present
session of the General Assembly is not reg
utdr, but an extra session-so that we do not
see how any newly appointed Justices can en-
ter upon the duties of their offices until May
LIST, 1861. If this be So the Justices in office
previous to the late appointments can continue
to exercise the duties thereof until legally SUI
perseded. H sl
The newspapers of the State are discussing
these questions, and the present Governor has
been applied to for advice. AS great confu-
sion would result from the action of Magis-
trates, if they are not legally qualified, we
would respectfully suggest that all Justices,
old and new, abstain from acting as such, ex-
cept those who have been re-appointed, until
the issues involved are definitely settled.

CATTLE PEAGUE.--The department of State
at Washington, has, received adyices from our
Consul at Liverpool to the effect that the
cattle plague.is still on the increase, both in
England and Scotland. During the week end
ing December the 10th the number of cases re-
ported to him was between seven and eight
thousand. The disease is most alarming and
is causing the greatest anxiety and uneasiuess
throughout the entire kingdom. The Consul
also states that some writers contend that it is
a kind of small FOX, but from his own read
ing, and from conversations among the peo-
pie, be is inclined to believe that the malady
is not well defined, and as yet no certain or
fixed remedy for It's cure has been discovered.

~ The President of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad has informed Mayor wallach,
Of Washington city, that the road from the
Point of Rocks win enter the city either on
Seventh or Fourteenth streets, and this puts
an end to all the speculations about its termi-
mating at Biadensburg or other points. A
letter-writer to the Baltimore Sun thinks that
the airline from New York to Washington is
likely to remain in the air. We hope The bold
attempt of such Treasury plunderers as Simon
Cameron to override the rights of the States,
and fill still fuller his bloated purse from the
public funds, may be rejected Some Of this
tribe of politicians are fond of quoting the
opinions of Gen. jackson, as the Devil can
quote scripture for his purpose. We advise
them to read Jacksons veto message on the
MaysvilIe turnpike road. But we fear that
constitutions and oaths are merely the toysand
playthiugs of knaves and scoundrels.
