MoRE REFORM We notice that an
effort is being made in the Legislature,
to permanently seat the Supreme Court
at the State Capital, Harrisburg. This
is wise movement and we hope Ia
see il carried out. This thing of our
Supreme Judges peddliug around over
the State, away from their families and
libraries, is an inhction both on the
public and the Court The farmers Of
ncigbborhood might as well request
the local blacksmith to move his shop
five or six times in year, so as to
make ii convenient to them. A one
horse wagon might be sufficient to
move him and his tools. nut IL Ill no.
apply to pnr Supreme Court, because
there are too many members Lot the
Court be fixed ut Harrisburg. where
the Judges can reside, and have the
advantage Of the bost Library in the
Commonwealth.

How Webster Slaughtered the
Romans.

Webster, as Secretary Of State under
Harrison, had a worrisome time about the
President S inaugural message. He wrote
one out himself and endeavored to make
Harrison accept it, but that worthy was
obdurate; he had prepared his own and
was determined to read it. Webster told
his friend Harvey that he was annoyed
because the message was, according to his
Judgment and taste, SO inappropriate.
1t entered largely into Roman history,
and had a great deal to say about the
States of antiquity and the Roman pro-
consuls and various matters Of that kind.
Indeed, the word proconsul" was re-
peated in it a great many times. When
he found, says Mr.. Harvey, that the
President was bent upon using his own
inaugural, Mr.. Webster said that his de-
sire was to modify it, for, as it then stood,
he said, it had no more to do with the
affairs of the American Government and
people than a chapter in the Koran. Gen.
Harrison rather reluctantly consented to
let him take it. Mr.. Webster spent a
portion of the next day in modifying the
message. Mrs. Seaton remarked to him,
when he come home rather late that day,
that he looked fatigued and worried. Said
she, "Ireally hope nothing has happened
You would think that something had
happened" he replied, If you knew what
I have done. l have killed seventeen
Roman proconsuls as dead as smelts,
every one ct them.
