ever adopted), to reform the practice Of our
criminal courts, or to consider the three Codes
of general law which Messrs. Field, Noyes, and
Bradford have drafted at the cost Of immense
labor and many thousands of dollars. without
receiving OF asking one dollar from the State.
The mass Of lawyers will do nothing to help
the work, and will not even take time to e1-
| anime what has been DONE But the complete
Codes of Practice, prepared by Mr.. Field, have
been adopted, with slight alterations in matters
of detail, in a majority Of the Northern
States and are now being adopted in some
of the Southern States. And greater triumph
of their principles is now close at hand The
most conservative section Of the bar of the
most conservative country in the civilized world
have just united in recommending the adoption
in England of all the fundamental portions of our
Code OF Procedure. AS long age as 1852 the
English Parliament remodeled tlns system Of
pleading upon the pattern of the Code; and in
1860 it sanctioned partial union of legal and
equitable jurisdiction. But now, the "Judica-
"ture Commission" appointed by the English
Crown has made report, which recommends
in substance the adoption OF the New YORK
Code The whole report is too long for lnser-
ton in our columns, but we have copied the
most striking part of it, showing IN general
outline the changes recommended by the Com
missieners. We suppose the force of their re-
concentrations can be fully appreciated only
by lawyers. But we see clearly enough that
the proposed changes go to the very tounda-
tions of English judicature. Processes as old as
Alfred, forms venerable when our fOrefathers
emigrated to America, systems built up under
Mansfield and EldOn, are to be laid aside for "a
new and uniform procedure better suited to
the wants of modern society.
We rejoice at this progress, and we rejoice
also that our State of New-York has had the
honor of initiating it. Thece are many things
wrong about our State Government, some
theoretical, and more which are practical, but
we have, nevertheless. contributed in no small
measure toward the civilization Of our race; and
among all the REFORMS Of which tho State has
reason to be proud, there is none greater than
this reform of the law.
One has but to look at the names appended
to this English report to see that the very
elite Of English judges and lawyers are COM
mitted TO the most advanced legal reforms.
Here are Lord Cairns the late Lord Chancel-
lOr, Lord Hatherly, the present Lord Chan
celOr, Sir William Erie, formerly Chief Justice
of the Common Pleas, Phillimore, the Judge of
the Admiralty, and Wilde, the Judge Of Pro-
bate and Divorce Here are judges represent
ing the Queens Bench, Common Pleas. and
Exchequer Here are AttOrneys-General and
Solicitors General, and Privy Councillors, Bar
risters, and Solicitors. The Bench and the
Bar of England could not be better repre-
sented. For the report itself, and the vast
changes which it recommends we refer our
readers to tho large extracts which will be
foand in another page.

DILL TIMEN

When even Chicago pauses IN her tremendous
strides to empire to swell tle cry Of dull times
there must be something in it, We infer that
the Summer just befo;e MS is to be one oil
moderate trade, and We rejoice in believing 1t.
For dull times in cities, with many hou1s 10
let, arCue that the bone and sinew OF : our
nv, the producers Of It's wealth. are busy
on their farms, and resolved not to spend the
pr occeds of their crops in Injuries and irippercs
'.,efore they are grown and haryested-a very
sensible resolve, in our opinion. III on~lall
tbe nopnlation of our cities, finding times dull,
were drawn or driven out from their straitentd
lodeings into the broad free country, and
there employed in tiling the soil, or in me-
cbanical vacations subsidiary thereto, il would
be better for us all. ChicagO's growth may he
checked for the moment, but will be increased
in the long run, by such jal-deliyery OF her
crowded. stiilcd stcaming lower hundred thou
sand. They will contribute to her trade and
greatness on the broad, rich prairles which in
vest her, as they never can while they throng
her streets and rush by AID over each other in
their anxious, frantic, hopeless quest OF " Some
thing to Do"
Yes, we hope to hear the Summer just be-
fore us characterized as one of the dulest ever
known. For dull times do not imply June
frosts, nor destructive tcmpcsts, nor deadly
epidemics, nor even National decay. Those are
not dull times wherein the needless majority
are drinking and dancing and dcing in reck-
less extravaganza. intent only on present graf
ifcation, and reckless Of impending ruin. You
could not say that times were dull when half
our able-bOdied men and boys were engaged
in burning houses, tearing up railroads, raw
aging fields, and running us into debt mt the
rate of One Hundred Millions per month. Those
were, on the whole, rather lively times and
so have all times been when we were rushing
on to bankruptcy at q 2:40 gait. Dull times
imply sobriety, caution, frugality, and hint that
the prodigal has taken the back track, OF at
least ceased to go ahead on the down-hill
grade. He may only have tried 10 check his
fearful momentum, and this too late TO avoid
the crash but better even this than rushing
recklessy on.
So let us welcome dull times with q cheerful
face, as a sedate, fatherly uncle, who has come
round to see how the boys get ON, and who. if
he does not find them doing their level best, is
almost certain to leave them in n wholesome
mood of mind. The best medicines are not apt
to be tOothsOme iyet sensible persons take them
without contOrtions Of visagc or exhibition of
internal disgust, in the confident hope of feel
ing better by-and-bY. SO let US, if we must,
greet the advent of dull times

Heartily as we sympathize with the purposes
of the Universal Peace Society, we have been
compelled to treat their annual resolutions as
slightly impractical, to say the least of them.
But yesterday they did something which looked
like business. Our readers may remember tina.
a Mrs. Vernon addressed the uprOarious Equal
Rights Society Thursday morning upon the
subject of celestial kites. This excellent lady
seems to have come away from the female
bear garden impressed with conviction that
the only way to secure peace was to give the
women everything they wanted. She accord
ingly offered to the Peace Society the following
significant resolutions:
Resoired That Government should vote fund for the
support OF every and child. and ~ that ray abolish
crime aud ne necessity for capital punishment
Res0tred, That while waung for Government tO nova
In this matter IL Is the duty OF men TO forward aud
relieve the suferings OF oppressed by rog hes
Of money, according 20 their various necessities
thereby saving their bodies from physical. and their souls
from moral death, which every moment sarcs them III
the face.
Resolred That TO orerer peace beiresn and
cOmen shall be Ten dependent upon mdnh
such comforting the power To become tyant bur
let all hasten 10 the support Ot all women. NOndR
being the highest embodiment OF the organic serehence
dependent on man.
Upon these resolutions, which embody matter
for profound reflection, we are panied to sly
that the meeting took no action.

Tho Hack Drivers of our City are about to
strike. That is fair. We struck against their
extortions and robberies long ago. If their
employers rob them, why should MT they strike
in turn Their right to strike is just equal to
ours.
We trust this strike will result in the aboli-
ton of nine-tenths of our rumbling, Old
rickety two-horse hacks, and give us instead
twice as many light, neat, handy Hansoms or
Broughams, that will take us any distance
short of two miles for fifty cents, or give us
fair service for 81 per hour At those rates,
the business will pay good profit, and there
will be ten times as much of it as our City
has ever yet known. Only give us one month
of reasonable conveyance in public vehicles.
and our people will wonder how they ever did
without IT,

Business, We hear, is dull; yet the Duties on
Imports collected at our five principal ports
last week were s3,05O,G09 and must therefore
at the rate Of S234,0OO0OO per annum. This is
unusual; yet we presume the receipts of the cur
rent calendar year will fall little below S20O00O,-
oOO We need about $13O,OOOOOO of this to pay
interest on the Debt; why not pay off $4,000
600 OF principal out of the residue The Inter
nal Revenue, faithfully collected and frugally
spent, will very nearly pay the current expenses
except for Debt
