The SUPREME Court DOCKET CLoGGED.-
Tie fourteenth amendment to the United
States Constitution and the judiciary act of
1867 very widely enlarged the scope OF the
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court OF the
United States. 1t is now ascertaincd that
they are increasing its practical business to
an unprecedented extent. So heavy are the
appeals from decisions of the State supreme
courts that it is beginning to be doubtful
whether the United States supreme justices
can attend in person to any circuit business
at all. 1t is stated that the new pressure OF
cs,ScS will nccc>>tate the presence of the ell
tire court in Washington all the year round.
and that even this will not keep the docket
clear. 1t would seem as if the judges them
selves understood the vasty-auSlncnted
sphere OF their powers and work, as six of
them have gone to reside 1T the capital, i'll
Guiding Justices Miller, Field, Strong, and
Bndlcy-four Of the youngest on the bench.
Such is ole Of the lesser evils OF centrallza-
tion-monopoly in government, in j,uiSpru-
dcnce, and every other thing that congress
ional legislation can be brought to bear
upon. --BalttmOre Sun.
