The NEW CODE OF Practice We received
yesterday the second. third, and fourth reports OF
the Commissioners on Practice and Pleadings,"
and have gwen them cursory perusal. The last
OF them comprises the newly proposed criminal
code. and Is large document, extending to two
hundred and sixty. three pages.
All Of the reports which have emanated from
those commissioners have given great dlssat,s-
faction to the legal profession and to the public
generally. Cumbersome, troublesome, tedious,
and dilatory the old system Of practice, civil as
well as criminal, was acknowledged to be, the new
system Of practice in civil actions, and the pro-
posed system in criminal cases, will be more so.
The fact is, as have before stated, it Is not IN
the nature OF things, that new code Of practice
can be formed at once on the spur of the moment
as il by the wand Of the magician. 1t takes
time, study, and experience, to form a code OF
either kind. Now, under the old system, the
practice was definitely and finally settled IN every
particular. We imported it from England, and
such portions of II as could not be available IN this
country, in consequence of the difference In our
institutions, form OF government, and other things,
were SO amended, altered, and changed, as to salt
the atmosphere the United States. These latter
points were settled by courts, and hence It fol-
lows that the old practice was settled and deter
mined. These qualities cannot of course, be
claimed for the new code, even by its most ardent
friends; for the practice under 1t never could be
settled, or put beyond dispute, until each point
shall have been adJudlcaed by the highest court In
the State-the Court Of Appeals To do this
would require, perhaps, hundred and fifty or two
hundred years. 1t would, therefore, put mere
81 r
experience and extended information. In this re-
spee 1t Is dlsagreeabe to the legal profession; but
how is it with sutors and the public generally,
They would have to pay the piper, in the end.
On the whole, therefore, we are afraid that
the code, civil and criminal, will not be such
as it was thought it wouldbe.

of patience but when the resolutions were reported
by Judge Krum from the committee appointed for
that purpose such a scene of uproar ensued beg

examine the appeal of his colleague, and to de-
fend himself against the charges which had been
made against him and those who acted with him
were absolutely denied. AT every step of his pro-
gress he was assailed with rude language, bois-
ferrous noise, and every outrage short of personal
violence which could be brought TO bear upon him,
until the Benton faction were apparently exhausted
by their own efforts, and then he proceeded with
his speech.

The following details of the contracts
entered into by the British government
for the transmission of the ocean mails, we
extract from the city article of late num-
Der of the London Times. Though our
own mail-steamer service originated under
the late administration, it is well known
that the country is mainly indebted for it
TO the untiring efforts Of the Hon. T. Bur
LER KING. This important branch Of the
public service was made the subject Of
some demagogue attacks in the last Con-
gress; but its numerous friends, Of both
political parties, rallied its support with
the indication Of a strong interest in its
welfare and success. We have no doubt
that it will be duly fostered and aug
mented by the friends of the present Ad-
minstration, to whom the country looks
with confidence for earnest demonstrations
in behalf of what President TAYLOR styled,
in his letter to the Massachusetts, commit
tee, "the ennobling arts of peace"
"The recent report Of the Committee on the Con
tract Packet Service contains the details Of the
rious contracts entered into by the government
with the three leading ocean steam navigation com
panies, viz, the Peninsulsr and Oriental Company,
the Royal West India Mail Steam packet Company,
and the Cunard Halifax and Boston Company. Re
garding the first Of these the particulars fol-
lows. The duty originally performed by the com
pany now known as the Pcninsular and Oriental
Company was the conveyance of the mails TO Vigo,
Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar the contract
for which was entered into on the 22d OF August,
1881. The company were TO provide 1--WE steamers
Of not less than l4O horse power, and were TO run
once week Before the contract was concludedit
had been twice advertised by the government for
public competition. In the first instance the Pen
insular Company sent in a tender for E32,S60 per
annum, and the Commercial Steam packet Com
pany also sent one in for G33,750 but neither
accepted On the repetition Of the advertisement
the Peninsular Company offered for B29, 600, and
the Commercial for eos, 500 In this case the PEN
nsular Company we're successful, their offer being
preferred on account Of the better class Of their
ses the average horse power Of their fye steamers
being 233, while the average Of those Of the Com
mcrcial Company was only l54. The original con-
tract was TO take the mails on board at Falmouth,
but IL was subsequently altered TO Southampton.
The stipulated service Is reported TO have been ad-
mirably performed, the only fault being that Il
had been done too wel-that is TO say, the vessels
arrived sooner than il was calculated, which was
made matter Of public complaint. In 1874 the com
pany represented that departures three times

Outrage I'm Speech.

We have often felt mingled regret and disgust at
the language employed by certain declaimers at
public meetings who profess the Democratic faith
and we have been equally grieved and mortified
that intelligent Americans could be found who
would listen 10 applaud il. At the recent ratifca-
ton meeting al fammany Hall there was a good
deal Of this kind Of language INDUCED in, and we
charably expressed the hope that they who uttered
IL had unwittingly INDUCED too freely ia the room
below; for we would rather that a man should be
accidentally overtaken in fault than that he should
habitually employ proiane and blasphemous Ian
guage from the mere love Of IT, We suspect, how
ever that we were too charitable; for one Of the
same speakers, named ShafFer, poured forth TRADE
