THE DISTRICT JUDICIARY BILL.

The reader will find an article Of great ability In our
paper to-day in which the writer discusses the cunstit-
ionsl question involved in the District Judiciary BILL He
maintains the position that under the power Of exclusive
legislation for this District Congress provide udc
AIRY SYSTEM and limit the tenure of Office by the Judges as
is done in the bill which has passed the House and is now
pending in the Senate He takes the ground that the
clause in the constitution which secnfes to judges their
offices during good behavior has reference to the
judges that may be provided for the District Of Columbia
These points are argued with much force and think
the reasoning difficult to be answered
