Nothing in tho Constitution hxos tho torn,a of

Hlhll hold for Bix yoars.
II tho three Judges named roly upon tho six
yoara clause, their terns would expire In A,l-
gust, 1876, and as the Constitution docs not pro.
Vido for any election until 1870, thogo Judges
would either hold nine yGa1e untii 1872 Or thoro
ty from Aug. 8, 1876, to June, 1870. But as tho
Constitution clearly intended to givo Cook Uoun-
ty hve. Judgog all the timc,. aud TINT
mono Of the Circuit Judges should hold
Of those three Judges was to giyo Cook County
additional Judges until everything would como
around reg,iar uniler the Constitution. So that
the only way to larmonizo what ia thought to
DO an inconsistency, is to hold that the torns Of
Judges Booth, Rogers, and Farwoll. expire in
June, 1873, whom there should bo elected five
Circuit Judges, to hold Blk years, or until June
1879. This will certainly DO in accordance with
tho Constitution. Any other construction will
