FOR THE ARGUS.
UPON THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM.
No. Ii.
No. IL.

To understand now far the com.
plants, against the present arrange
ment of the courts, are well founded,
it may not be amiss, to give short
history of them, since the commence.
ment Of our revolution.
To do which, shall begin with the
most inferior courts first, and so as.
cend, as they graduate, to the dernier
resort.
The cooperation and county courts
remain pretty much as they were be-
fore that period.
The other courts, established under
the constitution, were the court of adj
miralty, general court, court of cham
Gerry, and the court of appeals.
The court of admiralty had three
judges in it.
The general court FIVE.
The court of chancery three, and
The court of appeals consisted of all
the judges. No one, am persuaded,
Can look at this arrangement of the
nerO system, without discerning in it,
the WISDOM of our greet revolutionary
patriots.
But, few years, however, had pass.
ed away, when it was said that, there
was defect in the system: that the
general court was too inconvenient to
the people and, too expensive, in the
trial OF criminals.
This, at least, was plausible ground
and perhaps correct one, and chang,
was made, which admit was for tn,
better.
Five judges were added to the gene
raj court: the state laid of into cir.
cute, which were divided into conve
nient districts and two Judges, allot
ted to each circuit, who, were to hole
a court for each district therein.
About this time, the federal consti
tuIion was changed, by which, we paw.
up the court Of admiralty, whose iudg
IS, WIKI ,wo from the chancery cour,
made up the requisite number, for III,
new arrangement, in the general court
which left one for the court Of chance

Communication.

The Governor assures his fellow
citizens, that there exists not the least
Cause of alarm on account of Indian
hostilities--all the information which
he has received, has produced full
conviction upon his mind, that there
has not been for the last four years less
probability of rupture with the In
dians, than at this moment. The par
~ attached to the Prophet, have dwin-
died very conte mp,ible numbe-,
and even these far from being united
and attached to him, are ex;remel,
DESTROYS to shake off TIE yoke which
he has so long imposed upon them.
So far from thinking of war, the Pro-
phet sent by MIR. Brouillette to request
that he would send him cross cut
saw, aud other tools forbuilding hous-
cs.
He told Mr., .Brouilette indeed, tkat
he had with him 7 or 8 hundred men,
and could collect 3 hundred in day
1.-The governor knows this to be false
there are not 5 hundred in all tn e
.neighboriDg villages. The Wineba-
gos, who constitute his force, the go
vernon has lately caused to be counted,
and they were found not to exceed 1
hundred-.-ani the greater part of the
Putawatamies that are near him had
much rather go to war with him than
with the u. States.

the public to have more talents and IN
tegrity than another, there would be
electioneering. Different methods
were pursued 10 different psrts of the
union. In some the candidates cleo.
tioneered in person for themselves in
Others, their friends for them !; in o.
theirs again, committees and newspa.
'pers were used for the purpose of de-
stroying elections and even the sa.
cred Pulpit had been made subservi-
ent to this object.--He believed that
less time was wasted at elections, than
in some other places. Nor was he a.
fraid of a multitude of councils. He
would be in favor Of saying, at this
time, that the number of members
should not exceed $50 or 100. The
population of Delaware would perhaps
be good criterion he was fearful,
however, that &c might reduce the re-
presentation.
The committee rose, and the bill
was postponed, to give further time for
consideration.
Mr.. Lewis presented petition from
pilots employed in the navigable wa
tiers of Maryland, praying that they
may be allowed TO receive fees within
the district Of Columbia which was
referred to the committee of COM
merce and manufactures.

R 1 c H NJ o N ID,

Extract ETA letter from Correspondent
al the City Of Washington, dated Dec.
18th, 1910.
From present appearances the scs.
sion of Congress pro misses to be an
harmonious one. With respect to TO-
reign affairs, the attention of the friends
of administration seems TO be attract
ed to one point, to wit +: the British Pa
per Blockades. Our present rulers were
never furnished with such strong proof.
of the rectitude of our demands upon
Great Britain on any subject as upon
this. You will have perceived, by the
documents already published, that the
leading federal as well as republican
authority is with administration. On
thehead ofpaper or proclamation block
AIDES the three branches of government
are united, that is to say, the Congress,
the President, and the Judic airy, at the
head of which Is Judge Msrshsll, who
gees further than any body else, and
fairly shakes hands with Champagny's
definition. British counsels must, I
should suppose, give way to this una
Inimiiy on this side of the water. To-
deed, I apprehend our disputes gene
rally might have been long ago settled
If we had been more an united people !;
or if even the great republican phalanx
had continued well knitted. The raj
lying word, however, is now, as it
ought to be, Union. Some of the fe-
deral prints are trying to raise an out.
cry about the occupancy of West Fiori-
da; but they will NOT succeed in render
ing it unpopular. 1t was not only. an
act of energy, but it Is an act of pro-
lpriety and it was effected without the
least gasconade. The federalists are
ready for hue and cry in Congress,
but they do not know how to raise it.
Out of doors the opposition hang their
heads, walk about with their hands in
their breeches pockets, whistle kilabu-
Zero, aud are totally at loss at what
end to begin. Gen. Armstrong is ex-
pected here daily"
Mr.. Macon, (of Congress,) in de-
bate gave, the other day, very Just
picture of electioneering. He very
justly reproved the sneers which the
ipeople of the East are too much in the
habit of aiming in this respect at their
southern brethren. Electioneering,
IS ne says, prevails every where in the
United States. The fashionvaries to
be sure: writing is the weapon OF
some /; barbacues of others dram
drinking is another mode ; and preach.
ing and priestly management fourth
method. Let US, then, cease to revile
since the practice is grounded inithe
nature of our political constitutions.
