appealed TO, as authority by individuals
and states who may be anx ious to avoid
Just claims agalns, them. And one regrets
TO include in such a Category our own be-
loved Rhode lsl I'd, who, after having
bought up large amounts Of the old Stat
Debt, incurred during our Reyolulionar
struggle, has hitherto practically and most
cooly told the holders of the alance that
the claims are old and doubtful; and some
furious politicians IN their incorporate Zeal
have had the audacity TO intimate that the
certificates, were dshOnestly procured, in
some way, by the holders Recently,
however, gratifying symptoms Of returning
reason and honor have been manifested inf
the appointment, by the Legislature, o
three able clllzens to examine into the mer-
its ofthe claims, and these Comm issoners
have unanim mously reported in favor of their
business and validity. We await hopefully
the action of The Legislature next Janu-
airy, and trust that then Rhode Island will
wipe out the foul stain OF reputation from
her otherwise fair cscutcheon. Severa
citizens Of Newport are interested, to the
extent of many thousands of dollars, in
claims agaIs st the State and the United
States, and it is ardently and anxiously
hoped that they and their fellow pel TONERS
will not much longer appeal in vain to the
sympathy and justice of the State and Fed
cral authorities. y.

The returns of the election, which we give be-
low, are imperfect, owing to the failure of the in
spectors to count the most important votes first.
There were many divisions in the wards, and to
count all the tickets, of course takes long time.
If the inspectors had complied with the request Of
the Heraid and counted the mayoraty ballots first
that vote at least could have been given complete
They would not do so, however, and hence the
incompleteness of the tables. The returns are
sufficient to show that Mr.. Woodruff is elected
Mayor, and there is but little doubt that we have a
wing Common Council.

The New CODE OF LEGAL PRACTICE The course
of the Commissioners of the new code of legal
practice has been, as readersare aware brought
to rather an abrupt termination by the Legislature
This was very proper, but attempts are made in
certain quarters TO revive the foolish scheme A
number ofwhgjournals aud others are coming out in
favor of the new code, and are endeavorng to make
great noise about its defeat 1t is argued that the
new code will simplify or expedite the adminstra-
ton of the law. Not at all This is all sham As we
have already shown, this boosted "legal reform"
nearly destroys the old building, in order to rear on
the same foundations an identical structure invov-
ing the poor litgants in all the annoyance, delay,
and expense of the process. 1t is most absurd
procedure, for all points of practice must under it,
be carried up to the Unconstitutional for settlement
Even the change of legal phraseology, which is
much lauded, is, after all, but small affair. 1t
might be very well to simplify the English Ian
guage and change its photography; but the cost
and trouble would be more than the revolution
would be worth. All systems of legal practice are
the natural growth of time and experience and
il is supreme folly to demosh them for the sake Of
a few inconsidemble improvements The new
code, as it is styled, be productive of nothing
but confusisn, annoyance, and augmented expense
in all legal proceedings.
