They are round pointed and elastic, and
when dropped with the weight of an ordin-
airy holder, four or five feet, point foremost
upon the hardest casting, they sustain no

WASHINGTON CRY, !
SATURDAY NIGHT, Dec. % )
Some of the Southern wings have been consult
ing General Taylor on the slavery question; and
from what we learn of his opinions, If the neces-
sity should arise, he WM Ueto territorial bin for
NsD Mertco, If ii contains the TViaaot prop,so;
and approve the admission of Cali fonia State,
Nth the proviso included.
II Is probable that territorial bill for New
Mexico, with the proviso, will pass both houses
this session, and veto will split up the cabinet
and the wing party; but it may save the country.
We understand, in addition to this, that General
Taylor thinks that the boundary of Texas should
be submitted to the Supreme Court, and that, at
the proper time, he will make that recommends
ton in special message to Congress. The war
like movements of Texas against New Mexico
would seem to demand an early movement on
the subject.
There is manifest disposition in the Senate to
bring out General Taylor upon every question, and
there will be strong effort made to abolish the
Home Department.
1t IS reported that committee from New York,
and another from Brooklyn, are now here, ope-
rating against the confirmation of Hugh Maxwell

The KENTucKY STATE COMMEMORATIVE give,
IN our columns to-day. the closing proceedings
OF the Kentucky State Convention for the re-
vision of the constitution That body, 1t APP
pears, has terminated IFS labors, and the amend
ments to the constitution, which have been pro-
posed, are decidedly Of pro-slavery character. At
the next election, when the constitution will be
submitted to the people, for their ratification or
rejection, the democrats will take Issue on the
slavery question. This will create a very great
excitement 10 that State and will give to the next
election for state officers and members TO Con-
cross, point OF more than ordinary interest.

satisfied whether commission ought to be grant,
ed, or not.
From our personal observations of delays, and
the accumulated number OF untried cases, we are
perfectly convinced that new criminal court
should be organized in this city The Oyer and
Terminer Is now held before Judge Of the Su-
preme Court, and two Aldermen, whose presence
is compelled by law, bat of whose knowledge of
legal intricacies 1t is no offence on our part to
entertain some doubts The calendar of the Cir
cut Court, over which the same Supreme Court
Judge also presides, is still crowded with hundreds
of cases, although, during the present term, the
Justice has sat, sometimes, till o'clock. That
court should be relieved altogether from criminal
business. During the past three months we have
known one criminal case, in Oyer and Terminer,
to have consumed nearly four weeks, and others
to occupy the Circuit Court upwards of seven or
eight days-perhaps a fortnight. The private
suitors in the Circuit Court thereby delayed in
obtaining hearing. This is unjust to them
In the Court OF Sessions the Recorder presides,
with two Aldermen. The same functonarles also
hold Special Sessions, for the trial of small Of
fences. The Aldermen have many Legislative
duties to transact, they cannot attend TO the legal
business of the Sessions in the afternoons. With
all industry on the part of the Court, it is i'm
possible to execute the business. The only way
to rectify these evils-to afford speedy justice to
all to give us IN this city-where crime Is on
the increase and criminals setting the law and
the representatives. of the people at defiance-a new
court, with three judges learned in the law.
The courts of this city have not been changed
since the commencement of the present govern
ment, Except by adding the Special Sessions,)
whilst our magistracy and police have been in
creased, our prisons enlarged, and every other
power connected with legal proceedings, aug
mented.
We understand that Judge Edwards, and other
judges, together with our indefatigable and eff
Gent District Attorney, have called the attention
Of the Governor to the subject of criminal proce-
dure in this city; and if our suggestions are in ac-
cordance with their views, or can aud them in their
desire to supply this desderatum, our labors will
be amply rewarded.
