Of our Representatives relative 10 the

have asked the privilege from your friends
10 accompany their note. in relation to
the Court Bill, with word Of explana-
tion. have not room TO detail 10 you
the difficulties with which the Judiciary
Committee had 10 contend in fixing the
times for holding the Courts in some S6
counties, under new system. fixing new
districts and subdivisions, and confusing
the business Of lawyers who were clam
orous 10 retain all their practice. There
was perhaps not a single district in the
State where difficulties such as these
together with others not less easy 10 re-
concile were NOT abundant. n, .ii,,
When Gen.. Bliss presented his list
I thought the times fixed inyour Disiric,
we're generally satisfactory, and although
there is not member Of the House TO
whose suggestions ! would pay more
respect, the bill was at tina. time in such
a condition tha, the changes he suggest.
ed would have involved the necessity Of
making others, which would have raised
new dissatisfaction and excited new op-
position to the bill. l,s passage was Of
the most pressing and imperious neces-
sity, and although | was aware that in
some instances il would operate uery
de,rimenially. / thought that those upon
whom the Inconvenience would newt.
ably fall, would consider, that under the
peculiar circumstances, they ought per-
haps 10 submit to these temporary incon-

incidents rendered il almost, ifnot entire
" impossible to relieve them. sgoa
