Legal Reform in Tennessee.

Judge Patterson has addressed the
following letter to the Bench and Bar OF
the State:
Iwould earnestly call yonr attention 10
the Importance of the session OF the legal
convention to be convened in Nashville
on. Monday, the 18th inst In addiuon
to various items of interest to the legal
profess sion, the question as recognizing
the judicial circuits and chancery aus
tricts will be considered Some action
mon this subject will be taken by the
Leoislature, either as above indi-
Gated or by creating criminal circuits
tbroupbout the State No matter
which may be the line of action,
every member of the bench and bar will
be deeply interested; and now is the
time for action. 1t is well presumed
that the Legislature will respectfully
hear, and assfar as possible. fayoraby
act upon the suggestions made by the
convention. The bench and bar can--at
least, ought to-form thesbest estimate
of the proper size and form of the cir
cults and districts, so as to equallze the
labor throughout the State; and, IN ad-
dition, the no less important item OF
arranging the time of holding the various
courts so as to avoid conflict
Every local bar throughout the state !
ought to be represented on the 18th, #
not, there should be at least one or more
efficient, we'll posted representatives from
each judicial circuit, we'll advised OF the
weight of each county docket; or if that
cannot be, let the Secretary, Hon. Il. ID.
East, be furnished with full information
on the points referred on or before the
day of meeting.
The result of prompt action will smooth
the roughness OF our field of labor, avoid
a large amount of unnecessary travel,
and save to the people measure OF ex'
pense by no means inconsiderable.

PLANTERS from various portions OF
Middle Tennessee tell the same story
that the negroes will have to accept for
1868 much lower wages than were given
last year. General Ewel, who has been
contracting with laborers at thirteen
dollars per month, does not feel justified
in Offering over ten dollars, and none OF
his neighbors around Spring Hill are
offering higher rates; in addition to
which, the majority of planters insist on
dispensing with the Saturday half holt
day. The wages named are paid for
first class labor, of which far more is
offered than can be employed, while for
inferior lahorers there is no demand
