OrncE or Attorney Gesebal Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 15;h,'55 Since my circular of the 28th of July, I have been repeatedly and urgently asked to express an opinion in regard to the proviso to the 10th section of the 'Schedule of the constitution; which provides that no person then in office, &c,, shall continue in office after the taking effect of the constitution, fo; a longer period than te term of such office prescribed by the constitution; which means that a clerk of a circuit court, or a recorder, elected for seven years under tha late Constitution, shall hold but for four years. A number of these officers ire inclined to test the question of their right to hold for the term for which they were elected; but they generally express a willingness to be guided by my opinion; and they desire it now. because notices of the offices tobe filled at the approaching general election must soon be given, and pollbooks prepared. - Under these circumstances I would be glad to satisfy them; but I regret to be obliged to say, I have no settled opinion on the subject.- I find no authoritative decisions that meet the point; and considering the question an open one, and yet wishing to relieve the officers having pending duties to discharge: from a perplexing responsibility, I would suggest to them the following course of action; Let notices of the election, be given as if the proviso, were unquestioned. The notice cannot, I think, be any evidence

of either a resignation, or a waiver of (he claim to hold the office; and any clerk intending to try the question, might state the intention in the notice. Should the incumbent hold over, the claimant of the office would of course institute proceed, ings to oust him. The question is whether the office is ia the nature of a contract between the State and the incumbpnt. and as such protected hy the clause of the Constitution of the United States, inhibiting the States from passing laws impairing the obligation of contracts. That clans has been much discussed and extensively applied. It has been held to "pply to grants from a State to an individual, to charters and to corporations; and to laws forbidding the interference with the thing granted. But there are important qualifications to the general rule; mid there are powers of government whieh it could not have been intended to take away by this constitutional provision. Was it iutended to apply to laws tli.it miaht be enacted in regard to the discharge of public duties; or tolhe possession or exercise of public rights, or to the enjomiit of public offices; or to the changes in any of these. iht the Legislature of a State, or a ferliori, tho people of a State in their sovereign character, might at any time deem expedient? Allowing due weight to all that may be reasonably urged Against the proviso, as invading invested rights, I incline to the opinion that the courts will sustain it. For answer to Probate Judges, County Commissioners, and some others, I would state, that the late decision of the Supreme Court only applies to cases where the term

jo ofiict i fixed by the Constitution, and therefore I think that the 7th section of the act to nching vacancies in office, &c, j is operative, where the term is not thus fixed. J. MORRISON.

The mode of inhalation, for diseased lunps and throat, recommended ly Dr. Curtis in hi advertisement, strikes us as the true one. It is now penerally admitted hy out best physicians, that local difficulties can only be successfully treated by local applications This practice has been pursued from the first w th respect to external inflamation and corrosions, and we see not why di eases of the throat and lunes may not be treated in the Fame mapner; we- believe they may. In this variable climate of ours, where lung and throat comptaints have become so prevalent and rife, we earnestly recommend to Ihe public, and to the afjlictrd especially, to avail themselves of Dr. Curtis's remedy.
