From the Liberalist.
Our Judicial System-Necessity for
CONSTITUTE DUAL Convention.

While speaking Of courts we are re-
minded that if not a single argument
could be added in favor Of Conven-
ton, that one alone is sufficient which
demands change in our judicial sys-
tenn.
1t is obvious to all who do not refuse
TO see, that it has become almost i'm
possible to bring q cause to trial before
a jury. Parties can not afford to wait
from day to day, with their witnesses,
until their cases be reached on the
docket. 1t is ruinously expensive. 1t
brings the courts and the whole admins
tration OF Justice into disrepute, than
which q more unfortunate thing can
not happen. 1t is Of the highest import
ance to any State that those tribunals
and those forms, through which justicdis
dispensed, should receive the respect,
confidence and affection, of the people.
1t seems to have been the aim and OBJ
ject of the trainers Of our present Con-
stitution to make the administration OF
justice as inconvenient and as expensive
as it could possibly be made. They ex-
pected in this way 10 greatly discour-
age and diminish litigation, and thus to
remove one Of the great evils of civil
government. They forget, or (Which
is more probably they never knew, that
the great desideratum in government is
to place justice within the reach Of all
the people, and to bring the poorest
and most humble within the protection
of the law. There is beautiful fiction
in the common law which represents
the king as always sitting in his courts
proclaiming to his people; we sell
justice to no man, we delay not to DO
justice to him who seeks it, neither do
we pervert justice.
But justice is made so expensive IN
West Virginia that the poor are prsctl-
cally excluded from her courts. They

are not aisle to pay the price OF eniorc-
ing their rights. Their claims ana De
mands are always small5 they had oet
ter loose their hard earnings than run
the risk of appeals from the justice tothe
Circnit Courts, where IN one or two terms
the costs become 80 frightful that the
poor sutton abandons his claim lest he
be ruined. He submits to extortion for
the same reason. He can more easily
afford to pay an unjust demand than to
contend against it in the courts. Law
yers know how often-how very often
they counsel their clients to submit
TO injustice rather than seek redress in
the courts. They, in general, do this
in all cases where the injustice is not
intolerable, and where the client is poor.
The rich man can afford to vindicate
his rights even at some expense, but
the poor man must submit to all deprl-
vations of right that are not intolera-
BILE. Now the remedy, and the only
effectual remedy for these evils, is TO be
found in such change Of our constltu'
ton as will authorize the organization
of class of courts, inferior to the CIR
cult Courts, in which misdemeanors and
the simpler kinds of civil business, in
GLIDING appeals from justices, may be
disposed Of, and the Circuit Court
docket thus relieved of that great mass
of rubbish which always stands in the
way, and consumes the time of that
court under the existing organization.
We do not presume to indicate now,
lust what the extent Of the several Juris-
dictions should be; but o! the general
complexion and structure Of the sys,
tenn we think we have drawn correct
outline, and that there is great unan,
unity amongst the public men OF the
State upon this subject, without any re,
gard to party. These changes would
probably involve the abolition Of the
Board OF Supervisors, and the absorp'
ton of their Jurisdiction by the inferior
| courts; probably also the abolition OF
the office of the Recorder, and a con
siderable and most wholesome moditi'
, cation of the jurisdiction and powers Of
justices, a class of officers which has
undergone most remarkable transfer
nation within ten years. We may
have occasion 10 advert to this subject
again.

AT the recent reunion of the Army
Of the Tennessee in Cincinnati, toast
to the President Of the United States
was drank in silence, no response being
made by any of the soldiers present,
General LEGGRrr, to whom had. been
assigned the duty OF eulogizlng the H.
lustrious GRANT, was not present and
no other of the assembled warriors
could speak good word for the Com
mander.in-Chief. The silence was,
however, more eloquent than words
and far more significant than any office

INSTEAD Of the Superintendent OF the
West Point Military Academy making
the negro cadet behave himself, the
little darkey has now dismissed the SUI
perintendent General ScHRIvER has
held the position Of Inspector OF the
Military Academy for many years past.
He has been active and earnest in his
efforts to maintain discipline there, and
has had frequent occasion recently to
condemn the conduct Of young GRANT,
and that Of the notorious Cadet
SMITH. The consequence Is that the
old officer is turned out, while the boys
who have been rioting over all discip,
line in the school are patted on the
head and tacitly commended. The
sentence of the court-martial that found
SMITH guilty of offenses that would
have led to his expulsion had he been
white, has not yet been promulgated
but there has been no delay in the re-
moval OF. General SCHRIyER.

What Il has Accomplished.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-EarI de
Grey was at home last night, and al
the quarters Of the English High Com
mission there was one Of the largest
receptiOns that ever took place in
Washington. There were present,
among others, all the members of the
Joint High Commission, Judges OF
Supreme Court, members OF Cabinet,
Foreign Ministers, Senators and Rep
resentatives Of Congress, eminent OH
GERS Of the army and navy, and many
prominent citizens accompanied by
ladies. Sir Edward and Lady Thornton
assisted Earl de Grey in receiving
the guests. The yard, attached
to the house, for this OCCASION
was converted into a conservatory
choice plants being tastefully ar
ranged and the walls hung with ever
greens and intertwined with the
American and British flags. The
Dand alternately played the national
| airs OF both countries. There was
much freedom and sOciability among
the guests, and the hO5pitalities were
richly dispensed. The party Is re-
garded not only as showing a geuer-
Gus and friendly disposition, but as
expressive Of the approaching salts.
factory conclusion Of the work Of the
Joint High Commission, and as indi-
eating that the British portion Of Il
will soon leave for their home, the
party last night being in the nature OF
a farewell entertainment.
In the adjustment Of the fisheries

navigation Of the river st. Lawrence e

adjudication and award to a commits
sion Of jurists.
The questions involving the owner
ship Of the island of San Juan, viii
probably be submitted to the arbitra-
ton of some friendly powers. The
island is not regarded by either party
as being of much value, but the deci-
sion of the question of possession, the
right Of which has been SO long in
allegiance, is considered to be OF inn
portauce, in view OF q series of meas
ures being adopted between the Gov
ernments, in order to bind more
closely the two countries in friend
ship, by removing every cause Of dis
pute.
All commissioners, while scTUpu-
lOusly guarding the rights and honor of
their respective countries, have from
the first shown a disposition to ac-
eOmmOdate their differences and ar
rive at such conclusions as would be
generally satisfactory to both nations.
