In 1850. when the calendars of both the Special
and General Sessions il this city had become so
large that one Judge-the Recorder-could not
hold both Courts, and especially not at the same
time, the Legislature created the adjunct Office of
CITY Judge to those Courts. For some years &C
cordinsly, the Recorder would hold Special Ses-
sions one month, and the City Judge would preside
simultaneously at the General Ses,ions-thus alter
mating and continuously working. But in 1857,
after the election of City Judge Russell TIE neces-
sty for the office ceased, upon the Special Sessions
being exclusively held BY the Police Judges.
Since that time the City Judge and Recorder alter
nate in the General Sessions alone, and for six
months of work and six months Of leisure for each
get twelve months pay for both. The Recorder is
an ancient chartered Office and it's present incum-
bent is perfectly able and willing to hold the Court
Of General Sessions without the aid Of bis distin-
"suished brother"-the Court sitting three weeks
in each month, from IL q. N. to I P. m, and hav.
Ing little outside duty to be performed. Hence
the Legislature propose to abolish the Office Of City
Judge. The present incumbent is in his third year
Of service, and for two years has hsd . tolerably
easy time Of it, with snug salary Of 5000 for .
half years work. As it il likely he vii be enti-
tied to his years salary, We eauro! see how his

On behalf Of the Landlsss Millions Of our cOun-

of ragged, hungry Childhood, Of destitute, home
less Widowhood-we entreAt the friends Of the
Homestead bill not to remit their efforts. The
decision of the Senate, BY the casting vote Of the
Vice President, to take up the Civil and Diplomatic
Appropriation bill instead, 10 not and cannot be
conclusive evidence that a msjority Of the Senate
desire its defeat, much less that majority will
vo:e directly against it. We believe three of the
Senstors who voted to oyerslaush the Homestead
bill will either vote for it, or not vote at all on the
naked question Of passing or rejecting it. We be-
Eeye that, if it can be pressed to third reading,
with fair notice to all it, friends to be present it
cannot be beaten; but, if it should be, We know
that it will at leas. settle the Presidential aspira
tons of those Senators who vote against it.
Friends Of Free Labor and Free Homes We en-
treat you to miss no opportunity to call up the
Homestead bill, urge vote thereon, and let the
People see the Yeas and Nays!
