Washington accounts say that the business
of the United States Supreme Court has accu-
mulated to degree beyond the ability of the
court to transact On Tuesday Senator Ed
munds, of Vermont, introduced bill to
facilitate the disposition of cases in the court.
1t provides that from and after May l, 1875,
judgments of United States Circuit Courts
shall not BE- subject to denomination by the
Supreme Court, unless the matter in dispute
shall exceed the value of $1,000, instead OF
$1,000, as now limited. Also, that judgments
States Circuit Court shall state the facts and
conclusions of law separately. Tneir review
by the Supreme Court shall be limited to a
determination Of a sufficiency of facts, and
to such ruling as may be excepted to at the
time, and presented in bill of exceptions.
It is said that this plan has the approval OF
the Chief Justice

expelled the usurpers defeated at the polls
As it was, by address and strategy, the Con
servative returned members, assisted by
Messrs. Hahn, Baker, Drury, Murrell and
Thomas, all Republicans duly elected, effected
a permanent organization by electing L. A.
Witt Speaker, SIS returned members voting.
These So members constituted quorum OF
the LOG declared elected by the Returning
Board, and, being quorum, their action was
final and conclusive, and was, in law, q ratifi-
cation complete of the temporary organiza-
ton. And yet the usurpers prate of irregu-
larities, and stignatize the action of quo
rum of returned members as illegal and revo-
lutionary
Seeing that the Conservatives had gained
the day, and had a quorum, the Radicals
called to their aid the bayonets of the United
States soldiers and drove the Conservatives
from the hail. The voice of the people has
been thereby temporarily suppressed But
let the "usurpers tremble, for in short
time the United States army will be under the
command of servant of the people, and will
be used, not to prop up usurpation, but, if
need be- to bring to justice those who have
IN an evil hour trampled Oh the majesty of
the people and driven out their chosen repre-
sentatives from what should be the temple
OF liberty, but which, in fact, is den of
thieves.
In conclusion, our claims to the seats from
which we were elected by military force are
based on the following grounds, viz:
l. Because we were duly elected by the |
votes of the people deposited in the ballot
box, at an election held according to law; and
e. Because We were declared entitled to our
seats by the House of Representatives, per-
manently organized, with fifty-fve returned
members present and participating

There recently died in the north of Fance
at the age of eighty three miser who lived
alone, and whose hut when examined by the
authorizes after his death, proved sort of
gold mine. His pillow alone contained
$4,000 francs in gold pieces of the time of
Louis Nv and Louis XVI. He had a taste
for old pieces. He had been robbed many
times, and the thieves were generally de-
tected through the antiquity of the money
they stole. The total OF the sums robbed
from him in his life, for which men have
been convicted and sentenced, reach 100, 900

Judge Benedict, of New York, is on trial for
having sentenced man named LANCE, con-
victed OF the Misrepresentation of the United
States mail bags, to fine and impri ,onment,
when the law only authorizes fine or impris-
onment. The case is a novel one, inasmuch
as decision has been given which holds the
sentencing Judge responsible in any damages
AJury may give. The case was so novel that
when first argued the only authority which
could be foHnd was Il suit in which William
Penn figured. The decision nov made yirin.
ally holds a judge responsible for errors in ex-
ceeding the law in sentencing persons tried
before him.

Albany (Ga.) Ne,os: We had the pleasure
OF greeting Hon. B. H. Hill on Saturday last
He had been spending a week on his planta-
lions. Our interview with him was brief, and
the conversation was confined to planting and
laoor: lie reports his own and his neighbors'
planting interest in much better condition
than at the same period any year since he has
been operating in Dougherty; but he is thor
oughly convinced that the present system is
carrying the country to universal bankruptcy
and poverty. He is emphatic in his opinion
OF OF the baleful influence of the country trading
shops-set up to deal solely with the colored
people: They tempt depredations for unlaw
ful gain, rob the plantations of large per-
centage of products, demoralize labor and
breed all the crimes known in the criminal
code. There must be some law to regulate or
prevent these deadfalls and dark holes of
crime and infamy, Or labor will cease to be
valuable, and lands will depreciate to fifty
cents per acre. He is clearly in favor of the
tenant system. now being extensively adopted
by our large planters, and thinks it will event
ually force itself into prominence and proba
bly, success.

Our readers We're prepared for the announce
ment OF the death Of Gen. George W. Cham

Twenty-third and Madison on Friday night,
January Sth-the slxtieth anniversary of the
battle of New Orleans. of which struggle he
was one of the few survivors. At the time of
his death. Gen. Chambers had reached the
npe age of eighty-two years, having resided
for more than half q century in the city of
Louisville. No citizen bore more ire
proachable characterize stain ever marred
his good NAME
Gen. Chambers was born in Bardstown,
where he grew up. When mere boy he vol
unteered in the army as a private and made
most gallant soldier. He was in the battle
OF the Thames, and in the memorable expedi-
ton to Canada enduring all the hardships,
Privat!ons and dangers incident to that cam
paign. He was also at the Battle of New Or
leans; and all his time of service in the army
was a soldier distinguished for gallantry and
daring. -Louisrile Ledger, 11M inst

Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle: Ike Hooper, the
colored murderer, who under the recent de-
cision OF the Supreme Court, refusing to
grant new trial in his case will be re-
sentenced during the approaching adjourned
term OF the Superior Court, is slowly wearing
away under the agony of his situation. His
eyes are hollow and. sunken, and his form
emaciated. He has sought religious support
in the Catholic Church, and daily receives in
structions from the Sisters OF Mercy. He is
almost constantly engaged in reading religious
works and in making preparations for his ap
preaching end Jim Cooper, the other
colored murderer, confined in the county
Jail, who was granted a new trial by the Su
prame Court, betrayed no delight when in
formed that such was the case. The fact is
Darwin would have found an apt illustration
OF his theory could he have seen Cooper be-
fore the ..Origin of the Species" was written.
Almost devoid of mind even OF the lowest
character, Cooper can scarcely be looked upon
as responsible being His sentence and the
prospect of an escape from the death penalty
mad about as little effect upon him as upon a
block OF wood. Good fare has seemed to be
his chief happiness.
