SEC. 20. A court shall be held in each county of the State,
to be styled the Circuit Court for the county in which it may
be held. The said Circuit Courts shall have and exercise, in
the respective counties, all the power, authority and jurisdic-
tion, original and appellate, which the present Circuit Courts
of this State now have and exercise, or which may hereafter
be prescribed by law.

SEC. 21. For each of the said circuits, excepting the
eighth, the second, the third and the sixth, there shall
be a chief judge and two associate judges, to be styled
judges of the Circuit Court, to be selected or appointed
as herein provided, and for the second circuit, the third
circuit and the sixth circuit, there shall be a chief judge
and three associate judges to be styled judges of the
Circuit Court, to be elected or appointed as herein pro-
vided. And no two of said associate judges, for any of
the said circuits, except the third and sixth circuits shall,
at the time of their election or appointment or during
the term for which they may have been elected or ap-
pointed, reside in the same county. If two or more
persons shall be candidates for associate judge in the
same county in any of the circuits, except the third and
sixth circuits, that one only in said county shall be de-
clared elected who has the highest number of votes in
the circuit. In case any two candidates for associate
judge in any of the circuits, except the third and sixth
circuits, residing in the same county shall have an equal
number of votes greater than any other candidates for
associate judge in the circuit, it shall be the duty of the
Governor to order a new election for one associate judge;
but the person residing in any other county of the circuit
and who has the highest number of votes shall be declared
elected. The said judges shall hold not less than two
terms of the Circuit Court in each of the counties com-
posing their respective circuits, at such times as are now
or may hereafter be prescribed to which jurors shall be
summoned; and in those counties where only two such
terms are held, two other and intermediate terms, to
which jurors shall not be summoned; they may alter or
fix the times for holding any or all terms, until otherwise
prescribed, and shall adopt rules to the end that all busi-
ness not requiring the interposition of the jury shall be,
as far as practicable, disposed of at said intermediate
terms. One judge in each of the above circuits, includ-
ing the second, the third and sixth circuits, shall consti-
tute a quorum for the tranSECtion of any business; and
the said judges or any of them may hold special terms
