ESTABLISHED MARCH 30. 1885

THE Davidson county Justices have
"struek oil' at last. They have dis
covered the ground upon which the late
law, dividing the County Courts into
alternate bodies, may he assailed. At
their adjournment, last Monday, Judge
Ferriss indicated a perplexity" as to
how "tbe minutes Of the present term"
could be approved by another set Of
Justices at the next term. The "per-
plexity'' took Ike fresh measles In a
camp of raw recruits; for we are told
that it was soon generally agreed that
the Court was placed IN AN awkward
predicament by the law reducing its
number by cutting it IN two and proYid-
ing that the halves should sit alternate
ly. 1t was also generally agreed that
some of the members present should
claim their seats at the October term,
and make a test case" EKactlyl Let
us have the test case by all means.
The records must be preserved
KnogUilLe Press and Herald.
Our contemporary's sarcasm is well
directed. The Davidson County Court
is composed Of sixty eight magistrates
whose per diem when in session,
amounts to Sl36. To relieve the tax
payers the Legislature passed the act
the validity Of which it is now proposed
to test. We regret that the whole sys-
TEN was not reorganized. The court is
too unweildy. 1t did well enough in
the slow old times, but the idea of elect.
ing and paying sixty-eight men to look
after the interests of one county has
long ago gone out of date. Ten good
men could do the work much more
cheaply and far better. And SO of our
City Council. 1t is one.third more
numerous than it ought to be. We are
too much governed.
