Editob : By a perusal of your" column, I find almost daily something said about the Stay Law, Jndge Barnes' opinion, Ac. It rather strike me, (though I am not a lawyer,) that there are some poinfa in Judge Barnes opinion which are not exact ly tenable. He doea not decide upon the constitutionality or uBn(imtionality -either of the Stay Laws, ttut declares the Stay Law passed by tbe Legislature to be invalid, because tbe Convention forbade in terference with the one passed in 1863 ; and be further declare that the Con ventlon had the right to bind the LeginUtrrre, and, in support ot his opinion, quote several tec tions of tbe Constitution. I am free to ad mit that if the Stay Law had hp a part of the Constitution, it would have required the kind of legislation prescribed in clause , article 4th or tbe amended Constitute to hare altered it : but even if that had been tbe case, the Legislature could have acuta unaer tae provisions or me Clause above cited. But this Convention-Stay Law comes to ua in the form of an ordi nance, or legislative enactment, assumed by tbe Convention. I say. assumed, because according to my understanding, it is de clared In the. very first section of the Con stitution, that the legislative authority of the State ahall lie vested in turn distinct branches, both, dependent m the people, to wit: . Senate and House of Conimona. The queatlon here arises, was tlie Stay Law which Judge Barnes regards a valid, pas ed by. Senate and House of Commons I and now waa the one passed whlcn he declares invalid t Tbe JudK says, "if the ordinances of the late Convention are not binding, the ordi nances sboltaliing slavery, repudiating the public debt, declaring null the act of seces sion, Sue.., would be tbe subject ot reeal. and if the subject of repeal, tben, ot course, the subject ot re-enactment, and thus we would have nothing nettled, &c In reply to which we wtHild say, that the act abut ishing slavery has bi'come a part of the Con atttution of the I nited States, and not sub ject to repeal by a State Legislature. The ordinance declaring null the ordinance ol secession, waa useless legislation, for that bad been done by the defeat ol the Conled- eratsarruy livfore tlie Convention had an existence. The repudiation of the public debt was done at the instance of tbe Presi dent, aa oue of tbe mean by which tbe Slate might return to tlie Union, more as a necessity thaa a right, and it is the opinion of some very eminent jurist that it un constitutional. In regard to tbe unsettled condition of thing consequent upon tbe repeal of the above mentioned act, w have to say that the binding power of a Convention claimed by Juilire llurnea, if carried out, would bring Upon us a condition of things far more de plorable ; for if tbe Convention can bind tlie Legislature in one particular lor a lim ited period, it can do o in every particu lar, and for all time; hence W might have no law. Then, indeed, society might bid adieu to all regulation, and tbe nionater of vice and immorality would stalk abroad in un disturbed violence. The Legislature in the exercise of Ha legal prerogative passed a law changing the ju risdiction of the court and the rule of pleading therein; this law he been declared invalid by one of tbe Superior Court Judge ; we would ask, I that the proper tribunal to decide tbil matter? If o, we may as well do away with tlie Supreme Court entirely am) tv. the letrislativ and judicial department of State into tbe bands of one Superior Court Judge. VOXPOPULL BtnriMo cr Radical Oroans.

Tlie petitioner are person of color, who, together with tlieLr parents, bad been slave, and were emancipated by the ordinance of in uonventtos. Tbey were tele m tody by the defendant Russell, who claimed to bold them aa apprentice, under an order OA tlie County Court Of Kubeaon, purport ing to bind the petitionen to him. The, tie titioncrs obtained a writ ot AaAms cjrpvt, returnable lielore Judge Gilliam, who, upon th. hearing, remanded them to tho custody or the defendant. Two questions are involved in tbu cast! I. Had tbe Judge, upon the hearing, the right to look behind the order ol tlie Lounty Court, blndinir out tbe petitionen I Ilia Honor waa of the opinion, that he was precluded by the order, and had no right to look to tbe merit ot the case. In this we think there is error. The de fendant who claims the right to restrain the liberty of the petitioners, must show his authority. And when be shows the order of the Count) Court, the petitionen have the riuht to reply, that the order is t aid. And this they may do, either by showing that tbey were not such person, a the Court had tlie power to bind out at all, or tbi.t they had uo notice of the proceed ingn against them, and, t bore tore, no opporl itni.y ot being heard. If judgment lie rendered by a Court having no jiiriadiction, or against a iicrsiui who ha no notice to de fend bis right, it 1 no judgment at all, Stullittgt e. GttVu, 3 Jon. 344. And In IVire r. Hiyht, 0 Jon. SfiTi, tliin Court did look behind Ibe older of tbe County Court, to see whether it bad tin- powert" make the order, i. r. hud jnr'wlii'tion over the pe titioner. II. IHK the fuel tlnd the petitioners bad no notice of the proceedings agaiuat them, and WFere nttt present wben the MHter of the t'ounty Court mis muiie, iiiake the order ot binding void f We think it docx Tbe constitution and law ot the country guarantee the principle, that no freeman ahull U- divested of a right by tbe judgment of a Court, unless be ahall have been made party to the proceedings la which it ahall have been obtained. Armttrotig n. llartthnn, 1 Dev. 187. In all procedings ot a judicial nature, it 1 necessary that the person whose right are to be affected abould, in some way, be a party to the proceedings. It is not sufficient that the Court abould have jurisdiction of tbe (Ubject matter ; it must also have Juris diction ot the person. It ia a clear dictate of justice, that no man shall be deprived of bis right of person or property, without the privilege of being beard." Stalling! vs. dully, tuiira. And, it ia well tcttled, that judgment without service of process is void. l ne case or Uietnt e. Chaplain, s Jon. 823, ia relied on as showing, that neither notice to the person to be Bound, nor hi presence In Court, Is nccrRsary. It is true that in the opinion delivered in that case, it is said thai, "there 1 nothing In the stat ute requiring the presence of the orphan when tbe binding take place, though it I usual." But tlie cane did not require that point to lie decided. That case was this: An orphan had liccn bound out by the Court, and a third person applied to the Court to vnrnt the order binding out the orphan, and to hind him to that third per son. The orphan wa not moving in the matter himself, and. of course, the Court re fused to interfere at the instance of a third person,-who had no interest hi tire matter. So that we cannot give to' that rase the force of a decision upon this question. Tbe case before us is at the instance ot a person whose lilwrty ha been affected by the or-1 dor and he has the right to nine the ques tion. And we tnink it cleer, whether the tatute require it or not, the petitioner hare the right, irpMl general-principle, to be present, or at least to hafe- notice of the j proceedings. - And although the statute doe not in terra require it, (which is prob ably all that was meant by the learned Judge in the case of Oventm. ChafJain.) yrt it ia fairly to be inferred. .The tatutr, ec. Of, require, the master to iffve bond to pro dure tht apprentice Wort the Court whenev ever required. And in ec ? it la provided, that when a Magistrate (ball permit -a house-keeper to employ an orphan, he hall take hia "recognizance to brino tht mid or phan to tho next County Court" to be bound out So tnat, it seem clearly to be contem plated by the statute itstjlf, that whenever it i neceaaary for tbe Court to take any ac tion in regard to orphans, the orphan shall Dc be to re tlie lourt. The proceeding of our County Courts have been in summary way in binding out apprentice. Anil, although it haa been usual to have the person to be bound present, yet we know from observation, that it has not been invariably the case, yet our Court, hare usually acted with considera tion, and have guarded the rights of tbe apprentices, and given aatisfaction to so ciety. And there have been a few com plaints of the abuse of power fn this, aa in any other exercise of doty by our Conrtu It could not well have been otherwise. We have had, hitherto, but few orphans to bind out Of course wc did not bind out slaved, and there were but few free negroes, and indigent white children usually found friend among their relation to take care of them. And In the few Instance where binding Was Ttecmasry, rare was taken by the friends of the children, and by the Court itself, that the best that Was possible should lie done for the child. And, besides, up pretit ice wore never looked to as profitable, and were seldom taken except by those who felt some interest in their personal welfare, so that tliere we re no Induoeiueid to frauds upon tbe Court s. But now a very different state of things exists. The war has impoverished the country, and made wrecks of the estates of orphans, and its casualties have greatly In creased their numbers, and one third ol tbe whole population are indigent colored per sons. So that the exceptional case, which we used til haYe, wust br greatly multi plied, and the responsibilities and duties of the county court must be increased in pro portion. It is, therefore, of great linpor taaoa that their duties, and the right of 'tmth apprentices and misters, ia the proceed fair, tor binding, abould be defined and understood. We hare no hesitation in sav- Iah WTin wltetner wnue or colored, it ia tne right or tbe person to he bound to hart notice, and JM. tbo.duty jbf -.th court to e tha they have notice, and It la, to y th least, tva dent in the court to reytrfrV thatrthr person should be present ia court There can be no case where notice can be dispensed with, and the actual presence of the person ought only to be dispensed with where he has In telligent friend present, who can see that hit tnteresta are property guarded, - - The case beriire til .bow. the iwoprirry of wnat w nave Juat said. Take tne case aa rtated by Judge Gilliam : the petitioner are females, resectively thirteen and filteen rial of age, an age when tbey ttahd moat in need of tbe oversight of their parent and friend. They are industrious, well behaved and amply provided for in food and clothing. Tbey bra with their mother and stcp-tathcr, who are of good character and are well to do. What better off could thev be or need' they be I What interest hail society in having their relation broken np, and themselves put under tbe care ot strangen, with no .flection for them nor any other interest except, gain from tbeir service. Now il these persons or their triends had been present when the applica tion wa made fot tbeir binding, would any court in the State have bound them out t Of course not, It would have been a gross outrage it they had. A court ought not to, and will not, bind out an orphan unlea it appear that bi condition will be improved. It I a high duty of the court, aad one which tbey perform with pleasure, to pro tect these helpless children, and not only prevent oppression and tnud, but to act a a friend, and guard and improve their con dition, I remember that, when I wa at the. bar, the county court of Granville had or dered sundry orphan to lie brought to court toiie bound out. Among them were tim e or four who were neat and clean, and their mother wa with them, and cried miM'b, but said not a word.l'pon enquiring, it wa found that be wa an honest indus trious woman and widow, who had labored hard for her children, and jnst when tbey could liegin to help her the rapacity of some bad mao sought to take them away. Some gentleman otthe Bar suggested, that instead ot taking away her children there should lie a conutbtttion to enable bar to keep tbcm, and it wa leadily responded to by the Court and the Bar and the crowd, and a handsome sum wa given to her and ah kept-haw children. . There ia Immksv . tii propriety or having the person actually pre sent in Court, In order that tbe Court may see tbeir condition, the condition of their parenta or friend, who have charge of them, and to bear their wn aimple (tory, and if binding he necessary, to see their capacity and fitnea tor one employment and another1 and also to give publicity to the matter, so aa to invito applicants, in order that the Court may (elect the best master. In the case before u. It is manliest from the .tatement of tbe case sent us, that the humane and intelligent Judge who heard tbe eause, would never have remanded tbe petitionen to the cuctody of the defendant, if he had supposed that be had the right to look behind the order of binding not o much perhaps for any fault in tbe defend ant, as because there waa no propriety in taking them from the society and service of their parent, and Inends, to bind them to any person, t here waa an Interesting discussion at th bar ss to tbe claaa with which the petitionen wen to be put, .opposing that they were liable to be bound out at all. Our atatuta, Rev. Code, chap. 6, sec. I, passed before tbe war, provide, that " It .ball be the duty of the several Court, of Plea, and Quarter Session to bind out, a. apprentices, all or phan, whose estate are, of to .mall value that no person will educate and maintain them for the profit, thereof." " And after enumerating other cissies, the statute pro ceeds : " Also the children of free negroes, where the parenta with whom such cbildiea may live do not habitually employ their time ia Some honest, industriou occupa tion, and all free baa. born children of color." - 1 But it is not necessary, and therefore it would be imnroDer for u. to enter into tha eomiderattoa M those question, because, whether they belong to on class or another, . tbey were entitled to notice before they could be bound out, aad aa tber had no no tie aad were aot present, th blndiog was void, and therefore, they are entitled to their diacnarg and to go wheresoever tbey WilL ' - (Signed,) Rbasb, J. Our Radical triends are In quite a quan dary. The want to tirvteod that recon struction ia to be the voluntary act of tbe South ; that the State conventions authori sed by th bill, and the conatitutiona the? may frame, will be expressive of the real public sentiment of tbe Southern State.

St Alban'a ChapeJ in New York ia at present the headquarters of the ritualists. Tbe services there on Ash Wednesday are described by tho New York RrprtM aa follows: In the centre of the altar was a massive golden crucifix, with great tupers on either aide. In front appeared a magnificent an tiiiendiuni of purple cloth, liearing a figure of the lanib and tlie Croft. The Pulpit, Lectemanil the precincta of tbe Sanctuary were similarly ornamented, and on the Gospel and Epistle sides were circular clus ters of tapers. TUB SKRVKHS commenced by an imosmg procession of the clergy and christen, from the robing room to the chancel, and chaunting tlie old English hymn used during Lent '-Forty days and forty nigbtn." When the officiating priests reached the altar, tbey bowed reverently In-fore tho cru cifixion, the congregation billowing their example. Tha clergy, consisting of the Rev. Mr. Morn-ll, Itev. Mr. Noyes, and Iter. Mr. Elmendorfi commenced Morning Prayer. The services Yenitc, antlJUcnedicitc, were sung to Anglican chants. Alter morning prayer, the Rev. Mr. Noye proceeded to the centre of the chancel, near tbe altar rails, and intoned the Litany the responses being of a choral order. At the name ol Jesus, he, in common with all pres ent, reverently liowed hia bead, and at tlie Gloria, all present turned their faces towards the1 altar, or the Ritualistic East. Tho Rec tor here announced the Introit for the day the 51st Psalm, and . while this was being chanted all the clergy retired. TUB MASH OR Bt'CHARISTir .ACRUrlrB. While the laat veraiclo of the Psalm wa be ing rendered, the Itev. Mr. Horrell, and the Rev. Mr. Noyes, with tbe acolyte and cho rister, moved again in procession toward th. altar. Tbe choristers at once filed to tbeir respective stall, and only tbe Rev. Mr. Morrcll and the Rev. Mr. Noyes, with a ur pliced acolyte, entered within the nil of the sacred place. The former acted a the officiating Priest, and the latter hi assis tant. Mr. Morrell appeared in a beautiful chasuble, urplice, aud stole, of purple, and the tint of these vestment wa ornamented with a lamb bearing a cross, both in the" back and breast. Having made, genuflex ion at the foot ot the altar, the Priest ascen ded tbe triple step and bowed down be fore the crucifix,, beneath which wa a cbal ic covered with a purple cloth, in the centre of which waa a white cross. The assistant Priest, or Deaconjtook hi position at the Epistle side. When the Celebrant had bowed before the emblem of redemption, he proceeded to the Gospel side, where the Bible and Prayer Book had been placed, and offered tbe Initiatory Prayer of the Communion Service his "back being to the people." Tbe tapers on the altar bad been previously lighted by an acolyte, and tbe bell tolled in honor of tbe service. The Priest then turned1 to tbe congrega tion and read the commandments, after which hi assistants read the Epistle aad the Gospel trom the reapectiv position, on the altar after which they are named, the celebrant occupying a position in the centre before the crucifix.

At five years of age, a horw has 40 teeth 24 molar or j-iw teeth, IS incisor or front teeth, and 4 tuaka orania teeth, liet-weea the melxra and' incisure; but usually wanting in tbe mare. At birth only two nippers or middle incisors appear. At a year old tbe incisors are all visible, on the first or milk set Before three years, the permanent nippera have come through. At four years old, the permanent dividers, next to the nippers, ar cut -. At five Ibe mouth is perfect, the second sot ol teeth bav ing been completed. At six, tbe hollow under tbe nippers, called the mark, has disappeared from the nippers, and diminished in the dividers. At seven, tbe mark bas disappeared front' the dividers, and the next teeth, or corner, are level, though showing the mark. , At eight, the ibark ha gone trout the corner, and tbe hone is Mid to be gd. Alter this time, indeed good authorities say after five years, tbe age of a horse can only be conjectured. But the teeth gradually change their form, the inciann beanmini; round, oval and then triangular. Dealers? sometime bukop the teeth of old, horses; that is, scoop them out to imitate thenwk ; but this can be known by the absence of tbe white edge of the enamel, which alwaya surround tbe real mark, by tbe shape of the teeth, and otber mark of age about the sliimsl.
