It will bc noticed at tha first glanee that, tliis bill disregards eütirely business interests of ccunties as unavoidably dotined by the aveuues of eommunication and the points of trade, and also the convenieiieu of Judges, and only regards the supposod politica] eomplexioti of iho proposed uireait. We neod only poiut to the couuties made to constituid ike ■2d and 3d Circuits, to ranke the design palpable even to a blind man. Hat furtunately tbère in a constitutional snag in tho way of this nico llttle arrangement, unWs the powers that be shall hold that oor State Cuiistmition ban geme down bufare the cmrsed rebellion with the National Conatitulion, the writ of hubeaa corpus, trial by jury, and other individual righta it guáranteos. Vy artielü VI, section 20 of tho Constitutioo tlio election of Judges must take place on the first Mondar ia April next ; and by article IV, section 20 no public act of' the legislatura can take ut' feot until ninety days froni tho end of the session at which the saine is paraed, unless tico thirds of the members elect to mok llame shall otherwisa direct. The present circuits can not, thercfore be changed in timo to opérate upon ihc coming election unless the amendatory bill is made perfect Iy satisfactory to the ocruts in the Legislatura, wlio fortúnately ïiuniber more than one third in eacli lious?.

We piesume the legislativo inajoiity will attempt to ignore tliis provisión óf the Gopstitution on the preteueo that the Judgcs do hot go ihlo office until the Crst day of January nost, but, let them reílect whether un election of Judges in Circuits that do not exitt at the time if lh election will bu legal or noi.
