laButwe think Mr. A. Whatsoever,
uponla moments reflection, that the
very authority upon which he relies
for his position, viz: The 10th Sec.
Of thc.SIh Art. of the Constitution of
1872, has. already been superseded
by the adoption. in, its stead of the
Tenth Section of'the Eighth Article
ofthe amendment Of 1880, which
goes into effect from and after the
date Of ratification at the polls, to-
wit: onlthe 18th of October. That is
to say, the latter is. now the law, and
has superseded the entire Eighth
Article of 1872. nr
Inc amedment being adopted,
and being the supreme and only law
that must now govern, establishes
certain circuits different from the
circuits established by the Copstitu,
ton of 1872 The latter are abolish
ed by implication, and the new ones
are now the only circuits.
Even though the Judges Of the old
circuits may be continued in office
in the new, there are no established
schedules of courts provided in the
new circuits. The Judges have no
power to arrange such schedules;
that is the province Of the Legisla.
-ture. The Judges may call special
terms, which would answer every
purpose, but TO meet and hold courts
in the new circuits under the old
schedules, seems manifestly irregular
We very much question whether a
judgment or decree rendered at such
a term would hold water" Register.
