THE JUDICIARY SYSTEM.
Inc House then again resolved itself into Com

the Judicial System of the United States

| Mr. Webster, Chairman of the Judiciary Com
mIttee, said that the bill which was under corS;
deration OF the Committee, so simple in i,s
provisions' and so unembanassed with detail that
little or nothing, in the way of expIana,ion 80
ly, was probably expected from the f,onni,,ao
But the general importance of the subject snJ a.
material change which the proposed neas,,rs a..
braces demanded some exposition of the reason
whch had led the Committee on the Judicisrv a.
submit II TO the consideration OF the House
! The occasion (ssid Mr.. WI natoralIv nressrt
two inquiries; frst whether any evils ex;s, - 81
administration OF justice in the Cours of The TTnsJ
States and, secondly, whether, if there be snch
eys' the proposed hill is proper and suitable rem
cay Oh oo'n these points, II is my duty 10 ey
PCS VIC sentiments which the Committee ON the
Judiciary entertain. Perhaps. bo,yevcr NJ
Chairman, before entering into discussion Of tbos.
TWO questions, may be SLOWED to state some,bin.
oil the history OF this Department OF the Govern
inent and to advert to the several laws which have
Deen' IRON time to time, enacted, respecting its or
| gsnization.
The Judicial power, which, by the ConstituIio.,
was 70 be exercised by the present Govgnroen,
necessarily engaged the attention OF the hrst Con
gress. The subject fell into the hands rs -,
able men, and it may well excite the agtoo;sh,'o,
that the system which they prepare and reco,n,aa,
ed, and which was adopted in the hurried session ~
the Summer OF 1883, has been found TO h,l6t 90 e.
