SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union republishes from the Morgan
town lVs) Telegraph, documents emanating
from Know Nothing lodges in that region,
designed, avovedly, to secure the return Of .
Know Nothing to Congress in place of Hon.
Mr.. kidwell. The editor WAKES indignent
over the disingenuous course thees papers
direct the Know Nothings to pursue. The
Union also has an article on the Texas debt
bill, wherein it argues that the United States
will be the gamer by its enactment yesterday
The Tntefftg.ncer says;
"Mr. Mallory has made to the Sonata
from tie Committee on Naval Affairs, An
able report on the nature and value of Lieut.
Maurys services to navigation by his labors
and scientific Investigations into the winds
and currents OF the ocean. We are glad to see
that the committee, with an honorable Iiber-
ality, propose some reward to the Lieutena nt
for his important labors."
In this We heartily coincide. The sam.
paper also says:
Z" An eminent member Of the oar In one of
tne oid states makes Suggestion in regard to
me organisation OF the courts of the United
slGef wei worthy OF being placed before those
who have the subject undor legislative con-
slderauor.. II is as follows:
increase the judges Of the Supreme Court
10 thirteen. The chief justice and sir asso-
ctaIeS O7lIy shall hold the Supreme Ceur, tn Q
other six aSsOci ateS shall hold the circuit
courts. Tho second year three of the latter
shsll sit in the Supreme Court and three
other associates take their places In the circuit
courts; AID 60 Oh esch year there shall bc
change OF three o. the judges from the Su
Preme Court 20 the circuit courts, and pice
verso. By this plan, after the first year, each
OF the associates will be employed two years
IN succession il the circuit courts and two
years IN The supreme Court. As the entire
time OF SIX judges would be appropriated to
the holding OF the circuit courts, there would
probably be no need Of any change in the ex-
listing system Of the circuit and district courts
1T Is not proposed that the chief justice shall
be required TO SIT in The circuit courts vet, If
need be, be and tbs six associates whose duty
1t shall be for the tine to hold the Supreme
Court might be allowed to Eoid the circuit
courts IN some Of the nearer circuits"
