The form Of Once Of Audltor,.

Wo yesterday alluded to the opinion Of
Attorney General Williamson that the term
Of County Auditors should commence with
tho frat Monday Of March. The opinion
was given upon a caso from Putnam coun-
~, aud us il is Of general interest, and very
short, We give II 10 full;
AT the instance aud request Of Mr. Dan
iels, the present. Auditor Of Putnam coun.
ty. Indiana, submit for your consideration
the following opinion ~ to the tenure Of
ssid Office. The constitution, sixth arti-
Gle, second section, authorizes the voters of
the county 10 elect CLERK, Recorder aud
Auditor. who shall hold their respective
Offices for the term Of four years. aud
leaves the time nj which the time Of ser
vice shall commence, to be regulated by
law.
"rhc Act Of 1852, |. 8. and II. p. l22,
section |, declares that the County Auditor
shall hold his Office for the term Of four
years from the first Monday Of March pext
succeeding his election, and until his suc-
cessor Is elected and qualified. This law
went into force with the constitution. The
legislature afterwards enacted that the ten
ure Of the Auditor and other officers
should commence on the first Monday
of November after the election. =
Acts Of 1855. p. 52. This latter act
limits the timo OF Office rs fixed under
the Act Of 1852, near four months.
"In the case Of Howard vs.. the. State ex.
rel, Vawtcr, X. Ind, p. 90. Che Supreme
Court declares the Act Of 1855 repugnant
to the constitution, MS tending 10 limit the
term Of service aud void; thereby leaving
the Act Of 1852 10 force, aud the only
law regulating the time for this Office to
commence.
under this law the Auditor elect can
only take office on the FIRST Monday Of
March, 1865. at which time his commits
sion ought to bear date; aud Daniels, the in
cumbcnt, holds over until his successor is
qualified on the 6nt Monday in March,
1868
Governor Baker returned the opinion
yesterday morning TO the Secretary OF
state, with the endorsement that "ihe
commissions Of County Auditors should. in
my judment, be issued in conformity IL
the within opinion"
The Secretary was about TO make out
the commissions accordingly, but the Gov
crnor Withdrew the opinion for further de-
liberation. Whether he has reversed his
irsi decision. or whether he has Withdrawn
it with any mention Of doing so, we are
not prepared TO say.
The decision will affect nearly every
Auditor in the State, as the general plan
has been to date the commissions on the
frst Monday Of November. as the latter Law
quoted by the Attorney provides Jour
nal.

mentioned arc those Of persons charged with OF.

is represented that the records Of the Court Of
Hustings for six months show that tho highest
penalty imposed 10 the most aggravated cases
Of assault and battery was $3.50, while In ordinary
cases the penalty was o merely nominal 6ne

an assault upon the brother Of Holts. the same
court thought proper to add to the fine $3.50,
imposed BY the jury, thirty days' imprisonment

ferred TO, the Commonwealth attorney was
