A BILL

10 change tie Courts Of the District of Co.
lnR6S0, create Cdcancies i1 JudgeshIps,
Clerkshtps Of Courts, DC, and TO haze
judgment against poor debtors Immediate
ky, If not sooner.
MEssRs. EDITORS:
A bill having for its objects what IL
above expressed $50 far as can be compre-
hended from cursory examination of q
copy which has by accident fallen into
my hands appears to have been presented
by one of the honorable members from
the city of Baltimore, to the House Of
Representatives, the preamble whereof is
as follows:
Whereas, since the retrocession of
Alexandria county to the State of Vir-
ginia it has become expedient to reduce
the number of Judges in the District of
Columbia, and curtail the Judicial ex.
penses thereof; and it is represented by
citizens of said District that the Courts
thereof should be reorganized, and its
laws reformed and improved; therefore,
be it enacted, &C." to the above effect.
The two reasons assigned by this pre-
ambie for the necessity of this movement
are-hrSt, the retrocession which occur.
red some nine years since, and which it
would appear to me has been exceedingly
tardy in evincing necessity for such re-
form and, secondly, that the citizens of
the District are demanding it.
The object Of this communication is
simply to enquire, through the columns
of your valuable journal, who the citi-
zens are, who are so keen to make vacan-
cies in Judicial offices, Clerkships Of
Courts, and more business, quicker work,
and better pay for the lawyers. For my
own part, 1 have no desire whatever to
have judgment entered against me, (if
| it should unfortunately so happen that
matters became tight with mel in the
office of the clerk of the Court, in the
short space of a month or less, after the
institution of a suit, and my little all
snatched from myself and family by viz.
tue of an execution.
/ have no doubt that gentlemen Of the
bar are very essentially necessary orna-
ments of society but, really, with all
due respect for them should suppose
it would be little more becoming If,
when they desire to increase their emol-
uments and make room for their own
promotion to the Bench, for which, no
doubt, many Of them are qualified and
certainly not unwilling, they would en-
deavor to crafty their laudable ambition
in manner which would not, necessarl-
ly, operate so oppressively upon the poor
debtors of the District as that contem-
plated by the provisions of this bill.
In conclusion, would suggest that If
the members of the Bar Of the District
should not happen to be unanimous in
their appreciation Of this bill, some one
or more of them would enlighten the
citizens; at least those Of them who are
too Ignorant to be classed with the de-
manders of the reform alluded to in the
preamble by an analysis of its respective
provisions and the necessity therefor.
