Editor GAzxrrE:

Editor OAz1TIE.
Dear Sir.--I had occasion
this morning to examine the situation Of
this Judicial District with reference to the
sp,ing term Of the District Court. and find
the facts 10 be, that in the counties OF
Jones. Jackson, Clinton and Musca'ine no
court can be held until next fall. Why not'
ks some inquirer. For the simple reason
that Judge Tuthill cannot be legally CON-
misdoucd-until. the first Thursday in May
/ BY law, Jones county court should have
commenced fasr Monday, dickson next
Menday, and Clinton the Monday following.
being 2oth inst. BY blunder OF the
General Assembly, Muscatine court was
|ixed for the same day that Clinton coM-
me noes. and in order 70 avoid the difficulty
the presiding Judge has always caused an
order to be entered at Muscatine on the
day fixed By law for holding that court, sp-
pointing special term TO commence after
the court in this county.
Thus you see Judge Tuthill cannot do
the first official act until after receiving his
commission, the first Thursday in Msy, a
period too late to hold ceuit in the counties
sboye named, apdto late to appoint spe-
cial term for Nuscstine, from the fact that
a special term must be made at regular
term and entered onrecord.
Well, who i-epblamei- Ianswer'Judge
Tu,hilrs predecessor "emphatically 80,
sir" "certainly, sir, certainly, undoubtedly,
undoubtedly sir"
Our late worthy and aigni6ed Judge made
an exchange" with Judge Smy,h, Of Linz
county, to hold cur late March term o
court in this county. Judge Smyth appear
ed here, and was ready and willing to hold
court and dispose Of the docket, but JUS
be fore the 18th of March, Judge Booth re
signed, leaving the District without Judge
and at 4 time, too, which prevented the
Governor from appointing his successor, a,
il was within thirty days Of the day estab'
Iished by law for electing Judge.
In consequence Of Booths resignation
there could be no exchange" within the
meaning OF the law, and Judge Smyth very
proper y refused TO hold the March term OF
our court. That same resignation defeats
the spring term OF court in the counties
named, and il is proper that the people
should know where to place the response
bility.
All will join in wishing the late Judge a
long retiracy amid the pleasant shades o.
Bellevue; that his remaining days may be
Is peaceful and prosperous Is was his bril-
liant career upon the bench, and that i,
may n yer be necessary to disturb him
again with an appointment which will
authorize him to enter up any more judg.
