On account of the widespread inter
est in the status of county justices Of
the peace since the enactment Of the
new code, the attorney general mas
begun a friendly suit in the supreme
court to test the rights Of sccs Of
ficials and the legality Of their acts
since the LIST Of July last. The action
Is an original n brought in the SUI
preme court to try by quo warranto
the rights OF C. Fl. Anderson, a county
justice of the peace In this city. On
the holding OF the court in this hear
ing will depend the validity of the ac-
tions OF county judges all over the
state. Judge Trip, at Yankton, has
held that such justices are constitu-
tional officers and connat be iegisiat-
ed out of existence; and no doubt
other circuit judges would have to
pass on the question In cases coming
before them. The action by the at.
torney general Is TO settle the issue
for all the lower courts OF the state
and give them a common ground in
their holdings on the issues raised on
the matter of the Jurisdiction or rights
OF Justices Of the peace.
