JUDGE MELVIN and Judge HodE Of
the Berkeley, Circuit have arranged, go
we arc informed, for an exchange OF cir
cults shortly. If it should happen that
either party to the Penitentiary contro.
versy, not being quite satisfied with the
Registers decision Of the question in
volved, should get the case before Judge
HoGE during his occupancy Of Judge
MELvIN's bench, there would be fair
chance to get a decision in favor of the
so.called Board Of Public Works. If the
other party should then appeal to the Su.
prcme Court, that Court might find itself
evenly divided, as it Is quite easy for q
body composed Of four parts to divide in
the middle. II these things should all
happen it would be found that the
decision Of the court below, even
II only pro formd and without .argu.
ment, had been decisive; because
when the higher court is evenly d.
vided the decision of the lower court is
not reversed, and not being reversed it is
affirmed and being affirmed the CAMDEN
faction would have gained their point
and tho Governors party would be ousted
from the .Penitentiary. OF course none
Of these things may happen. We are

SOME fastidlous person in.Baltimore is
shocked. because an old cemetery in that
city has been sold out in hOuse lots, and
workmen are digging out collins and
bones and tumbling them about in a most
irreverent manner. In fact, it seems that
the Baltimoreans are utilizing their de.
parted ancestors In filling up and level
ing off the ground. There Is a strong
prejudice In Christian society against
treating the remains Of the dead in this
disrespcctful way. Though the original
owners may not object, the sensibilities
Of the living ought to be regarded.
