THE PROGRESS OF LAW REFORM.

The reformed code of Missouri, our readers
may remember, was passed shortly after ours,
and is almost an exact transcript of it. 1t en-
countered, as ours did, great deal Of opposi-
ton. How that opposition has been overcome,
or died away, appears in a letter just received
from distinguished jurist Of that State, who
writes thus:
!" Our Legislature adjourned on the morning
Of the Sd instant The code is popular, far be-
yond my expectations, or the expectations,
believe, Of any of its original friends. Although
the Legislature passed nearly seven hundred
acts and resolutions, leaving few subjects or
acts untouched, yet there was not even one syl-
liable of the code unchanged. Numbers Of mem
bers, judges, and lawyers, who were opposed
to it at first, are now very favorable to it; and
the people are, | think, almost unanimously
favorable. Even those not very favorable ex-
pressed themselves opposed to any hasty or
crude amendments, and showed q very liberal
spirit. This is alivery singular when we con-
slider the bitter hostility with which it was at
first received, and the opinion expressed that
the Governor would be obliged to call the Legis-
latnre together at special session to repeal it,
or the courts would be unable to administer
justice or proceed with their business. From
every indication, 1 now entertain no doubt Of
the system extending all over the United States
and to England.
"The code of practice of Kentucky, lately
reported by the commissioners of that State,
and which is also copied mainly from ours, has
just been passed by their Legislature, as we
perceive from an article in the Frankfort Com
monWedlh 0
"The Legislature of Iowa has lately ad-
journed, having passed n code which adopts
the greater part of ours. Thus there are al
ready six States in which our code is the law :
New York, Missouri, Mississippi, California,
Kentucky, and Iowa.
Meanwhile, the progress of opinion in our
own State is strong and decided. The open
and vehement opposition which the code en-
countered at its beginning has dwindled to a
half-subdued murmur, and dissent scarcely
respectable. ~ Y Evening Post.

MEMORIAL.

To the Senate aud House Of Representatives. orthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represe that
tbev are entitled TO Bounty Land, under the ACT
of 18th OF September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the unlocated warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
thai thev do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that If patented to them. the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorIalists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun e.
that the officers and volunteers entitled 10 bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
cent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be SO modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
