Eaxors the Law.

Judge Magic, of the Supreme Court,
yesterday filed dissenting opinion. in
which he upholds the constitutionality of
the elective judiciary law. He maintains
that the constitutional provision which
empowers the Legislature to alter or abol-
ish the Court of Common Pleas is not re-
strained OF limited by any other clauses
of the constitution. The clause empower
ing the Legislature to alter or abolish is
specific and the other clauses must be con-
strued to give this clause full force and eff
feet.
Judge Magic points out that in 1855
when the constitutional powers to appoint
judges of the Court of Common Pleas was
vested in joint meeting. the Legislature
passed an act making the Judges of thu
Supreme Court, who were appointed by
the Governor, members ex-oficio of thu
Court of Common Pleas. This was an al
tering of the Court of Common Pleas, thu
constitutiona;ity Of which has never beel
! questioned.

| Thousands of women, loyal and true,
accompanied their husbands, fathers and
brothers to the National G. A. r. En-
campment at Louisville, but there was,
doubtless, only one woman there who can
lay claim to the title of Lieutenant Col
onel and sustain her claim with an hon
orable discharge. That woman is from
New Jersey, and she is Mrs. Emily A.
Kinsey, of Camden. now president of the
ladies of the G. A. R., Department of New
Jersey. The story of her Lieutenant Col
onelcy is here reproduced as timely and
interesting.
The discharge referred to is the regula-
ton honorable discharge accorded to
Union soldiers.
Mrs. Lieutenant Colonel Kinsey has ex-
perienced some of the hardships as we'll
as the pleasures of camp life. She was
enrolled on the fourth day of June, 1865,
to serve for three years. or during the
war. and was breveted Lieutent Colonel
of the Fourth Regiment. New Jersey

At one time she was placed under ar

were pinloned, and she was sentenced to

the numerous camps. The officers Of
what then constituted the First Jersey
Brigade at the close of the war will call
to mind their being recipients of bou-
quets in front of the Kirkwood House,
in Washington, at the final review of the
Sixth Corps. Tubs of neatly arranged
bouquets were presented to the boys by
the neatly uniformed walters of the
above hotel, with Mrs. Kinsey's compli-
ments. Then on her horse she rode to
the head of the column and reported to
the commanding officer and marched
with the command back to the camp at
Bailey's Cross Roads on that memorable
hot day, when the men were dropping by
the roadside from the intense heat. Mrs
Kinsey was taken sick with camp fever
shortly afterward and was ordered home,
the above honorable discharge having
been given her.
Mrs. Kinsey is the wife of Colonel
Warner Kinsey, of Camden. who at the
close of the war was Qnartermaster, and
who is well known to all veterans in this
state. She is the daughter of Josiah Buzz
