NEw ORLEANS. February %, 1879.
To the Editor of the Democrat:
There Is one feature In the creation OF now
judiciary which hes never bean hrnaehad- and
which should not be overlooked by the CON
vsnfion.
Give to the Supreme Court not only an appel
late. but also revisory jurisdiction over oil
he lower courts.
This check would correct In a great measure.
any omission, usurpation or illegal act the
lower courts would be tempted to perform or
omit.
The Code of Practice provides for remedies
by mandamus, prohibition and certforari In
such eases but by reason OF the grant OF an ap-
pelate jurisdiction only to the Supreme Court
the effsct of these wits has been restricted to
eaaes where they were necessary to maintain
the jurisdiction Of the appellate court,
These different writs being In full force md
granted their whole scope. the other conditions
TOR an effective judiciary are secondary In their
importance .
