Remodeling the Judiciary System.

We copy the following from the Annap
oils correspondence Of the Baltimore Amer
lean of Monday last:
A bill is being prepared and will soon b.
introduced in the Legislature providing fol
a Constitutional amendment remodelng the
judiciary system Of the State Ever since the
Constitution of 1867 was adopted there has
been a good deal of complaint over the
cumbrousness and expense of the system.
AT almost every session petitions have been
presented for Il return to the old one-iu,loe
system. The Constitution of 1851 first
broke up the old life tenure and substituted
a term of ten years. In 1864 the term was
heightened to fifteen years, and so remained
IN the Constitution Of 1867 Up to 1867
the Court of Appeals was an Independent
Bench but the Constitution of 1867 pro-
vlded for the election of three Judges in
each judicial circuit. one Of wh5lh was to
be member of the Court Appeals. One
reason for this multiplication Of the Judges
IS said to have been the presence in the
Constitutional Convention of Il great MANY
lawyers who had hankerings afer iudge-
ships. In 1851 the salary of H. $50.
Of Circuit Courts was 81 900; II J1useS
81 500, and since 1867. a. eao ~ ~
salary of a judge of the Court Of Anne,ls
in 1851 was 81, 800; in 1861 "A ooil and
since 1867 $500. The salary Of Judge
IN this city was fixed at 81 500 in 1851
at SIS, 1000 in 1864, aud at SO 500 in 1867,
the City Council being empowered 10 add
$500 more, which was done
1t is now proposed to pass constitution
al amendment returning to the one Judge
system and providing for an independent
Court OF Appeals, to be composed of Ave
judges instead Of eight, as at nresent.-
Besides the large reduction in the number
OF the Judges, the pay will be nut back TO
what it was under the Constitution OF 1864
and the salaries of Clerks of the Courts
wtil also be cut down. 1t is proposed to
cut down the term OF office to ten years, as
it was under the Constitution Of 1851 The
provides that a proposed a
shall be passed by the vote of
three hfths OF all the members elected to
the Legislature, and shall be submitted to
the people at the next ensuing general cleo
ton, but one of the features Of the proposed
is that it shall be voted on at
special election, so that the present Judges
shall be legislated out of Office and their
successors elected at the next gene.al else-
Ion. This, although not according :? 'ne
node prescribed by the Constitutloh' IL Is
stated wonld be justified by many prece- |
Tents, and that the ratification af the aMend- |
nent by the people would make it valid.
whether or not it was voted on at the time
prescribed in the Constitution or not The
proposition will probably win Republican
support. for the reason that the party would
n all probability gain several Judges 1t the
election. AT present the only judges on
he bench who were Republican nominees
ire JUICE Bowie and Judge Pearre. If
he proposed change was made, they might
'lect several. The great reduction in the
cost of the present judicial system, it is

BY the law of construction, the word
''eein," used in the United States bonds
as clearly and as definitely represented aud
included silver as it did gold. Indeed. at
the time the bonds were issued, it is said
that the autocrats of Wall street were clam
orous that these very bonds should be made
payable specifically in silver coin of the
standard dollar of 4l21 and they SO in
sisted because up to thar time there had been
less variations in the markets Of the world
in the price of silver than in the price OF
gold. Fer 5000 years silver had been the
general standard of value in the great ma

Table. i'm Gira rd, kansas.

Yesterday afternoon Special Mail Agent,
Brewster Cameron and William Small, of st
Louis, arrived in the city. Mr.. Cameron
went to Atchison, and Mr.. Small remained
here until evening. They had in charge a
prisoner named Jasper w.Johnston, who has
for a long time eIuded the network of the
law, and has been playing bold game fol-
his own benefit.
three months of skillful work in the de-
coy line, arrested at Terrell, Texas,
where he was postmaster, by Mr.. Cameron,
and the sum OF $, 7UI was recovered of mon
eys alleged To have neen taken from private
funds and moneys rifed from registered let
Gers in transit. This is said by the agents 10
he the largest sum of money ever stolen by
any one man from the mails.
At the time OF the first arrest the
prisoner entered into bond of 81 600 for his
surety 10 appear before the u. :. court, but
thinking that amount would not save him
from labor in another line for state purposes,
ne departed quietly on the 18th OF April, and
forfeited his bond.
Three weeks ago the department took mea-
sures to effect his arrest and MeSsrs Small
and Cameron were detailed to accomplish
the delicate task.
They had many difficulties to contend with
but one clue, after another was discovered by
indefatigable work until light enough was
seen ahead TO make the way clear. Through
means, best known TO themselves the officers
found that their man was located in Girard
In Crawford county, that he was hard
character being constantly armed. They did
not seem TO take the latter scare much to
heart for they are generally pretty well fixed
IN that line themselves They visited Girard
quietly and after some inquiry found that
their prey was in Dr. keenes store. They
went TO the store and Mr. Cameron found his
old game" quietly enjoying a game of his
own known as ''seven up" with a number of
associates.
The game was watched for a short time I'M
til il came time Tor the agents TO ..show their
hands" and johnson was invited to look over
a few '.papes" which convinced him he had
been playing against too heavy "roll- He
gave up bravely however. and is now in Gus
tody awaiting transportation TO his place of
destination.
This IL the third successful arrest made nv
Messrs- Cameron and Small during the last
two weeks, and IL is one that not only reflects
10 Their credit as energetic officers, but marks
another page in their history, as successful
agents of the government.

to the great reduction in deposits which

Total liabilities.

From the best information that is to oul
possession, the above condition has beer
| changed by reduction of the loans and
discounts to about $4,000. That is, about
thirty-three thousand dollars has been paid
in since the Sth inst
The deposits have been reduced to abou,
$4,000; the amount of cash on hand to
$1,000, and the amount due from other
banks will about pay the amount due to
other banks. This leaves the condition OF
affairs as follows: Notes, judgments, etc,
amounting to about $4,000; :the rea
estate mentioned in the same statement, and
the stock and bonds, to pay the depositors,
$4,000. 1t would seem that.if the affairs
are properly managed, that depositors would
be paid in full, and something ought to be
left for the stockholders.
We understand that a meeting of the de-
positors was held last night for consulta-
ton as to what was best to be done. 1t is
probable that an assignment will be made
to such person as can be agreed upon TO
wind up the affairs of the bank.
The following are the stockholders:

and Joab Mulvane, of Topeka; and W. w.

We desire to make no comments on this
failure at this time. The depositors will
take such steps as they deem best to secure
their interests. We have heard of no
charges of dishonesty connected with the
failure or management of the bank. There
has been exhibited but little feeling on the
streets against the bank or its officers. The
adverse criticismsthat have been made were
mainly by men who had nothing in that or
any other bank
The effect on the other banks was not as
serious as might have been expected under
the circumstances. Small depositors and a
few large ones have called for their money
and got it. There was nothing like run
on the banks, and it is not believed that
there will be. The feeling is that the affair
is hard on the city; but generally the feel
ing is that we must all help one another
and do the best possible under the circum-
LATER.-The bank officers have submit
ted the assets of the bank to a committee of
the depositors, who are now examining them,
and will report to meeting of the creditors
at 10 o'clock, a. m. to-day.
