The Fee Bill.

This BILL which has recently become law, has for
its object to regulate and systematic the fees allowed
the officers OF the circuit and district of the United
States. II is the first instance in which any successful
attempt has been made by Congress TO accomplish that
desirable result and it therefore deserves notice as one
of the most important practical measures OF legislative
form which have been carried into effect by the present
Congress the remark of Burke be true that great
object of all government to get twelve honest Ho
box, with power pass prompt and authoritative judgment
upon all claims and controversies Of the subject the cit
izen, then certainly objects of legislation have
more direct bearing the public interest than those
which look to the just and proper regulation of Judicial
procedure, and OF the expenses which il involves. The
fee bill is of this description; and the difficulty
and complication Of the subject out of the wide
ly-dfeent usages Of the federal courts in different
tons of the country, render its enactment, in its present
comprehensive shape. matter of public congratuaon
The bill was ma,ured during the last session by
the Committee on the Judiciary OF the House Of Rep
resentatves, and introduced in the House, accom-
panied by an elaborate repor, on the subject by Hon.
Mr.. McLanahan, Of Pennsylvania, the able chair
of that committee. The persevering efforts OF
the chairman and the members OF that committee, not
whsandng the pressure of other business, finally
ceeded by suspension of the rules in taking up the bill
and carrying through the House. In the Senate, du
ring the present session, the placed by the
Judiciary Committee of that body in the special charge
OF Senator Bradbury and having been explained and ad
vocaed by him in instructive speech published in
columns Friday last. il passed. the Senate with
era amendments, which received the OF the
House committee and its instance finally adopted
by the House
The BILL adopted, may not be in all respects perfect
But it is at least importan, and successful approxma
ton 10 all that should be done in the premises and as
such will doubtless meet the cordial approval of the
country, it certainly reflects high credit upon the wis
dom OF Congress and the efficiency OF the committee
whom the business pertaining TO the judiciary has been
iDirusted.
