Our LEGISLATORS are showing an unusual
and commendable regard for the opinions of
their constituents, if we are to believe the
press reporter OF the Legislative proceedings,
who states that the bill introduced in the
Senate by Mr.. Wallace, authorizing the cleo
tion of Judge of Nisi Prius in October
next, still remains in the hands of the Judi
ciary Committee, and that the Philadelphia
Senators desire an expression of opinion
before taking action. Our opinion is that
if the two additional judges of the Supreme
Court are created, as has been pro-
posed there will be no absolute
necessity for new Nisi Prius Judge, and that
it is more advantageous to leave the Nisi
Prius business in the hands of the Judges of
the Supreme Court than to create supple
mentary Judge. We hope that this will aid
to some extent in relieving the perplexties of
the Senators from Philadelphia, and that they
will now see that it is their plain duty to give
their aid and influence to the bill for the en-
largement of the Supreme Court by the
authorization of two more judges. 'F

If any such objections were made, are entitled
to respectful hearing. but the accomrnoda-
ton of the public at large is of more inn
portance than the objections of the compara-
lively few persons who oppose the measure,
and we hope that the House will concur with
the Senate in granting the necessary permis-
sion for the laying of the track.

DEATH OF JUDGE JOHN HU

The Funeral Services To-Day.

Our community, and especially the legal
profession, were shocked yesterday at the
intelligence of the death of Hon. John Hu
Smith, Judge of the Criminal Court. The
event occurred near IL o'clock, and was
not in the least expected by his most init
mate friends. Last week, and the day be-
fore his death, he presided over the court.
He was suffering from the effects Of
asthma, which was somewhat aggravated
by sudden cold. He experienced painful
sensations yesterday morning, and near II
o'clock congestion Of the lungs took place,
which terminated briefly and fatally. The
members of the Nashville bar met at the
Criminal Court room In the Courthouse, at
8 o'clock in the afternoon, to express their
regrets and take such other action as were
suitable on the occasion. On the assem-
blage of the meeting, Judge E. H. East
was called to the chair, and L. ii. Temple
was appointed Secretary. Gov. NeiIl s.

IflOuIo 10 lOo DEAD
Judge j. @. Guild addressed the bar, ex-
pressing his deep sympathy at the loss in
the death of Judge Smith. Throughout a
long and intimate acquaintance he knew of
no man who possessed greater degree of
human kindness He knew no malice.
From his first appearance at the bar, he
never knew a man to rise SO rapidly in his
profession. No man ever appeared at the
bar, be his politics what they might,
whether high or low, black or white, but
what equal justice was always administered
by Judge Smith. He was as impartial
Judge as he ever knew. 1t was melan-
choly to contemplate the bereavement.
This was about the hour for the assem-
blage of his court. but his chair is vacant,
and will be forever. But few days ago
he was in the full bloom of health, now he
lies but a few hundred yards from this
temple of Justice as a cold clod Of the soil.
All last week we were engaged IN an I'M
portant murder trial The able charge he
delivered on Thursday, in the case he
would never forget. During the last few
davs he a been little i'll, but his nearest
friends had no idea of his death, which so
suddenly occurred at IL o'clock to-day.
Lucien III. Temple said that it had been
his fortune, perhaps, to know Judge Smith
longer than any member of the bar. H
was not only as lawyer he knew Judge
Smith. They grew up boys together IN
Davidson county. They we're students to
rether in college, and left their alma mater
