U. S. CIRCUIT CouRr.-Judge ]. ].
Jackson, IT,, writes to Hon. Daniel Peck
Of this city that the term oi. the us
Circuit Court which should be held in the
city Of Parkersburg in August will prob
ably 20 over until February Of next year,
or at most, II session Of the COURTS held
at all in August, "nothing will be done
more than Is absolutely necessary" and
accordingly he has suggested to the
foreign bar, to agree for their cases 70 go
over to February. Thei ground upon
which the Judge urges the consent OF
the Bar to the poStpouement Of cases be.
yond August is that he feels confident
that the bill before Congress to alter the
time OF holding the term from August TO
February will pass; that there is no doubt
OF II becoming u law, and he (the Judge)
prefers to do all the Business At that time.
He, however, will hold q term in February
whether the law making the change
passes Or not. B ] ~
For the last day or two, since the dis
cussion OF tho Hamburg massacre, the
proceedings OF both houses Of Congress
have been confined to routine bnsi'
ness. Even the impeachment trial
is conducted with u humdrum mo-
no,ony indicative Of weariness. Out
side Of it, the business Of both houses
seelna to be confined to the reception ot re-
ports Of conference committees. The in
tensity Of the weather perhaps goes
AZ far towards harmoniEing the dif-
ferenccs between the two houses
"a any political or economic con-
siderations. Many Of the Congressman
are sick, and all are anxious to got away
to the comfortable retreats Of more
northern latitudes. 1t is probable that
an adjournment will be had at the earliest
possible date.
