OREGON No.
JAN. 18th 1872.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,
understand that q bill is now pend
ing in the Legislature to separate the
counties Of Atchison, Holt, Nodawav,
Andrew, DeKalb, Worth and Gentry,
from the this j Judicial Circuit, making
Buchanan County the twelfth Judicial
Circuit within itself. This is n good
move 90 far as it goes, and one that the
people of the entire Circuit think should
have been made long ago. With the
present population Of Buchanan Coun-
ty, Justice demands that she hold court,
or to be in readiness at all times to attend
to the legal basincs, of thu community.
At present the Circuit contains eight
counties. respectively, Atchi'on, Holt,
Nodaway, Andrew, buchanan, DeKalb,
Gentry and Worth. These eight II
ties contain ut least ll5,oOO Inhabitants,
while there are many Circuits in the
State containing only 1900. Thus it
will be seen that the state is lily divided
into judicial Circuits, and sadly needs
legislation for this alone, ifnothing else.
Again, each county in the proposed
new Circuit is entitled to three terms
of court annually. except the counties
of Andrew, DeKalb, Gentry and Worth,
which are only entitled to two terms
per annum, but certainly need three or
more terms, as [ understand the court
had not time to try = single civil case in
your county at your last October term
owing to the crowded state ofthe criminal
docket. But even with the present ar

with her four terms Of four weeks to the

to the Judge, bat leaving the dockets
in nearly all the counties in a very bad
condition. With the present state of
affairs it is seldom, ifeser, that justice is
meted out to all parties, and that while

This Line is well built. thoroughly
equipped with every modern improvement,
includ pg Pullman's Sleeping aud Dining
Cars. and nowhere else can the passenger
so completely depend on a speedy, safe and
