Reorganization of Supreme Court Dis.
trictS.

EE 4 bill recently reported from
the Judiciary Committee of the House Of
Representatives, by Mr.. WILSON, of this
State, has been passed by that body re-
organizing the Judiciary system of the
United States There is no increase in
the number of Judges, the circuits num-
bering nine, as heretofore. The lst 81,
aud Sd districts are retained as now.
The 4;h is composed of the States of
Delaware, Maryland Virginia and North
Carolina The 9th of South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Missis-
sippi The 9th of Louisiana, Texas,
Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee.
The 9TH of Ohio and Michigan. The
9th of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.
The 9th of Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri
and Kansas. The population of these
circuits is in round numbers nearly
as follows LIST, $3.50, 900; Cd, 4,9OO,-
900 Sd, 5000, 600; 4th, 3,445,O0O j;
9Th, 3, 1856, 900 9th 4,O14,OO 18th, s.
$4,000; 9th, 1896, 900; 9th, $780,
900.
Mr. WILSON, in an able speech on the
subject, shows the entire unfairness OF
the present adjustment of circuits. In
the five southern circuits, the popula-
ton numbers ! ,636, l66, and the value
OF property is So, 1927, 1885,, 1873. Texas
is not included, because Texas is in no
circuit. In four northern circuits, the
population is 6,745, 779, and the value
of property is 8.443, 465, 482. In this
the States of Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota,
Kansas, California and Oregon are not
included, as they are in no circuits.
This shows, then, that the States includ
ed in the four northern circuits have
5, 100. o04 more Of population, and So
O16,O3O, 354 more Of value in property,
than those in the southern circuit. In
this enumeration Of population and prop
erty, slaves are included, and the injus
tice of the present arrangement, looked at
in the light of population and property,
is very apparent.
But that is not all. In the FIVE southern
circuits, during 1856, period when they
had more business than at any other
time, there were on the docket, Jan. LIST
1856, 1879 cases. Number added in
1856, 1898. Number disposed of, H.
72l. Number undisposed of Jan. ls',
1857, 1856. At the same time in Judge
McLEaN's district, (the 7th) composed
of the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Michigan, the returns show 1881
cases on docket, JAN LIST, 1856, 2,037
cases added, 1899 disposed Of, and L.
1876 undisposed of-thus showing a larger
business in this one circuit than in
all The five southern circuits together.
From this the entire injustice of the
present adjustment ofdislricts isapparent.
The proposed new adjustment brings
Texas, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and
Kansas into circuits, and gives TO the
Southern States 8 circuits, eprcsentin5

from Old Church a squadron of the 9th
cavalry, proceeded to Garlck's Landing,
on the Pamunky river, about four miles
above the white house, where they burn.
ed two schooners and some wagons, and
drove off the mules. Their conduct is
represented AS barbarous, having killed
several of our teamsters without any ne
cessity. Those who failed to make their
escape were taken prisoners. From here
they proceeded to Tunstal Station, four
miles from the white house, to destroy
the railroad bridge. A train which was
passing down at the time was fired into,
killing two and wounding several. A
colonel belonging to the Excelsior brig
ade was there taken prisoner, but sue
ceeded in making his escape during the
night. A paymasler jumped from the
train and hid himself in the woods until
morning, leaving 1926 600 in the cars
The train never stopped, but passed on
to the white house.
After destroying the telegraph line,
they proceeded TO Baltimore cross roads,
near New Kent Court House, on the way
to Richmond, crossing the Chickahominy
river between Bottoms Bridge and

ing.
Tho force that accomplished this was
composed of / 500 cavalry and six pieces
of artillery, under Gen. Stuart, most oil
whom were residents OF this locality and
know the roads. AT Old Church they
had in reserve six regiments of infantry
with artillery.
{ As soon as the facts were known, pur.
suit by cavalry was Immediately ordered
