The announcement was made yesterday
in the Supreme Court, that it would adj
journ next week on Wednesday, the 18th
inst. We do not know whether or not the
court proposes to meet here again before its
regular term next September, but suppose
not. But few, if any, of the causes of the
4th Circuit will be tried this term. But
we suppose litigants in East Tennessee
have long ago learned to be patient. They
have only to wait another year, and per-
haps by that time our legislature will de-
wise means to expedite the business Of our
courts. 1t takes half life time now to
get an ordinary suit finally decided in our
courts.
