. The Democratic objections to tho Eloct-
oral vote OF South Carolina answer tho
purpose of killing time, but when II comes
to serious effort to sustain before tho Com
mission this bundle OF absustlitios and con.
hadiations, it will trouble the most ingenious
and hardened lawyer To get up an argument,
Even DAVID DUDLEY FtELn would probably
shrink from such IN undertaking. Tho
Democratic counsel are to bs allowed sir
hours, aud OF course they will manage some-
how to use up their time; but the Republic
m counsel, who are anxious to expedite
matters, will conhne themselves to tie few-
est possible words in which their aide OF the

In the way Of relieving The pressure on
tho law courts, n bill was passed in the ILL.,
nois House last Saturday which should rc-
ceiye tho prompt concurrence Of tho senate.
Tho text Of tho bill, which merely proposcs
an amendment to the existing statute, Ia as
follows:
All eauses ahal' ho tried. Or Otherwise disposed
Of. in tho order they arc ptaccd on the tockct.
and the Conrt may direct tho clerk 10 make out
two or more trial buckets, mud 10 placo III causcs
upon. notes nnd uthet Instruments Of writing for
the payment Of money only. and upon open nc.
counts. on ono Of surh dockets, atl appeals from
Justices Of Tho Peace on nnpthcs uf such docketA,
and may fause Tho distribution o! causes upon
hcpnsa1e dockets. A. III tts dscrutlon It may deem
ncceeeary and proper, and tho Court may Try or
otherwise dispoec u tho eausos In I!os order, on
any of *ucll ..uckcts ~ It may deem propcr.
There is every reuson To believe TINT tho
adoption Of this practice will bring great re-
lief in tho Courts. The manner Of docket
Ing trials now in vogue keeps attorneys and
1itigants dancing attendance at tho courts In
constant uncertainty M to when cases will be
reached, aud important suita are sandwiched
in botween suits on notes TINT will scarcely
DO contested and appeals from the Justices
to these two classes, thoy could be taken up
at any sot time and disposed Of with great
sapidity, thus clearing up the docket, getting
rid Of a large number OF dragging cases, and
saving n largo amount Of time to attorneys,
clients, and witnesses. The business Of tho
civil courts could 10 30 systemat,zed on this
bsais as 10 dispose Of much larger portion

THE FIGHT IN CONGRESS,

AAV DNtt4Q }A +tT AAOAR8 VI Representatives
oror tho counting Of the votes reached
pretty decided point yesterday. The Deape-
radoes were violent aud insulting. When
HEWITT made sposch counseling modesa-
ton aud submission, be was hooted at and
stigmatized as coward" a Mr.. GATE, Of
Wisconsin, who, two yesrs ago, was frnudu-
lantly declared elected by two votes, when,
as was subsequently decided by tho Supreme
Court of tint State, he WAS really defeated,
and who WIS defeated by his constituents
last November, made himself conspicuous by
his furious denunciations Of III who would
not unite in defeating tho count Of tho vote.
After five hours Of struggle, tllo vote Of
Pennsylvania was counted. When the next
State, Rhode Island, was called, objections
voro made, and the two Houses separated.
The hlibusters at once renewed their tactics.
In the meantime, there seems to have been a
revolution among the Democrnta. Thoscencs
