The power Of the Legislature to require
the High Court of Errors and Appeala 70
hold terms at different places In the state Il
NOT doubtedi but In doing 30 II can onlybo'
moved from place. to place In accordance
with tho c0nstitutionaf organization OF the.
Court. The 10th section of the lth article
Of the Constitution contains this clause =
The Clerk Of the High Court Of Errors and
Appeals shall be appointed by said Court
for the term Of four years One clerk she
clark Is thus made constitutional officer,
and with that ore clerk the Court IL q Con
stitutional Court Without "tho clerk" Or
with more than one clerk, Ii Is not the courv
recognized by the Constitution. ~
The I'd section Of the bill before me enacts
that the High Court of Errors and Appeals
shall appoint one clerk of said Court for
each Of said district, in the same way and
manner, and for the same time as the clerk
Of said COURTS owappointedi and each o.
said Clerks, when so appointed, shall quali-
fy, give bond and discharge the duties, and
be liable TO the same penalties now provided
by law for the clerk Of said Court, and they
shall be entitled TO have and charge the
same fees as are now allowed by law to the
present clerk"
The High Court fErrors and Appeals thus
organized will have four clerks of equal pow
er and dignity. The Office of Clerk OF the
hlgn Court OF Errors and Appeals ID crehuou
by the Constitution He Is the clerk OF the
Court-that is, of the whole Court, where
ever that Court may sit, His Office cannot
be divided and parcelled ont among four
clerks, leaving the clerk provided for in the
Constitution, clerk of the Court in district,
only, instead Of for the whole State. The
creation of the additional clerks was not ne
cessary to enable the Legislature to move
the Court from place to place. The power
TO create more clerks than the Consultation
provides for, does not therefore follow as a
necessary implication from the power ITO
provide for the holding of the High Court OF
Errors and Appeals ut such other place or
places in the State as the Legislature may
direct"
On the first day ofJanuary, 1866, the High
Court of Errors and Appeals did appoint Q
clerk, who has given bond, with approved
security rs required by the Constitution
He should be required to move with the
Court. No other clerk, created and anthor-
liked by the Legislature, can record its de-
crees. teW

Our dispatches Sunday morning
announced some fighting in Ire
land. The Fenians are alive and stir
ring. They will not let the bitter
tyranny of the hated Saxon over
slaugh them. We have hope in the
ultimate result Of this organization.
1t is more than probable that Mrs.
Victoria Guelph, with her polite
progeny-o offspring of the English
Queen, by her famous consort, the
Prince Of SAKE Coburg and Gotha,
should be forced to leave, or that
they should experience the fate of
Charles or Jamesp Public feeling in
Europe is evidently changing. Mon
archy is becoming feeble Louis
Napoleon does not hold his old posi-
tion-the prisoner of Ham and hero of
the coup do etat is drifting down the
vale Of years Victoria, with her
whole tribe Of boys and girls, are not
much above the level of their great
demented grandfather. The aged
George is not likely to be forgotten
before the day of general Judgment,
and the course of events lately brought
out of the womb of chance are un-
doubtedIy the coming events that send
shadows before There is hope for
the oppressed.
