REORGANIZATION Of the Judiciary.

The House Judiciary Committee held a
long session to-day and acted on a dozen or
more bills. One of those revises and in-
creases the salaries of the United States
judges. The most important bill agreed
upon was the measure introduced by Gen
eral Butler some weeks ago, recognizing
the circuit courts and abolishing the dis
trict courts. The committee agreed that
the district courts were originally made
necessary on account of the sparseness of
the population OF the country and the
limited means of travelling, but that they
are no longer required. a sub committee
was appointed TO draw up a bill, to be re-
ported next week.
The bin referred TO provides for the APP
pointmento of twenty-five new circuit judges.
and that it shall take effect on the first of
September next, SO far as the commission
ing of Judges is concerned; that all juris-
diction, functions and powers of the several
circuits, of which said districts are COM
posed are to be exercised by the judges
thereof, as fully as the district judges may
exercise the same in their respective district
courts under the several provisions of Law,
all of which shall he hereafter applicable to
circuit courts, as they now are to district
courts, excepting that no district judge shall
hold O term of the circuit court or sit or act
in any judicial or other business hereafter
cognizable by said court; that all terms OF
the several circuit courts of the United
States, heretofore established by law, are
hereby abolished, and in lieu thereof there
is established on the Tuesday after the
first Monday of April and of September
in each year a general term Of the circuit
court in each circuit, respectively, at which
term no original process in law, equity. or
admiralty shall be made returnable, which
terms shall be held by the judges of said
circuit court, all sitting together in each
circuit, at such point as they may deter
mine, respectively, to lear and determine
such questions of law, upon exception or
appeal, as may come before them; pro-
vided, that the chief justice, or the asso-
ciate justice of the Supreme Court, assigned
to each circuit, respectively, shall sit in
said term with the other circuit judges. at
his election, and when present he shall
preside, or In his absence the senior circuit
judge in each circuit, respectively, shall
preside; and that the Superior Court of the
District of Columbia shall hereafter be
known by the name of the Circuit Court of
the United States for the District Of Column

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
In accordance with a call published to
that effect, the Republicans of this parish
met in this city on Saturday, May %, for
the purpose of taking action upon the re-
cent unhappy local divisions, or rather the
attempt to create them, in Baton Rouge.
Over two thousand persons were in attend

the selection of Hen. b. I. Beauregard, as
president, with other popular Republicans
as his associate officers. The first speaker
was the Hon. G. c. Antoine, who was re-
ceived with great cheering. The Lieuten-
ant Governor alluded to the disorganized
condition OF the Democracy all over the
country, but warned the Republicans that
they could neither hope or deserve success,
unless they were united in the support of
honest, capable candidates.
After the applause accorded the fine ora
torical effort of Governor Antoine had sub
sided. the Hon. j. Henri Burch read to the
meeting certain resolutions denunciatory Of
himself that had been adopted by meet
ing held in this city May II, and asked that
the question be put to those present whether
they Endorsed such resolutions.
Mr.. Jules Collins then moved that such
resolutions be unanimously adopted, which
motion having been seconded, the question
was put, whereupon the chairman declared
quently that large majority OF all prese It
had repudiated the sentiments denuncia-
tory of Senator Burch that been passed at
the meeting of May Il.
Speeches were then made by Mr.. Griffith,
Rev. e. d. Triplett, l.. A. Fuller. Esq, C..
w. Bryant and the Hon. j. Henri Burch,
and the meeting adjourned, after giving
cheers for the following named distin-
guished citizens: President Grant, Cover
