The Lager Beer Association Of Newark, N

their effort to have the Sunday law thorough
~ enforced and observed In that city. Find
ing that their saloons were to be closed under
the law, they resolved that every one OF its
sections forbidding the selling Of newspapers,
cigars, etc, as well as liquors, should be put
In force. The result was that the people OF
Newark last Sunday could neither shave
nor smoke, and were altogether denied the
luxury of Sunday paper. This last straw
is too much for them. and promises to rally

COURTS OF INFERIOR JURISDICTION.

In order to secure anything like thorough
reform Of our court system, the Convention
must begin az the very mud stills and build
TN. Indeed we are disposed to believe that
the most serious defects of the present sys-
tom, and the most difficult VI correction, ex-
LIST In the courts OF lowest jurisdiction, tho
Justices OF the peace and parish courts. The
Justices courts, whether III the city or the
country, can be regarded In no other light
than as intolerable nuisances and they should
be abated as such. Under the present sys-
tenn they have become as prolific Of abuses as
a neglected garden Ia of weeds. The evil Is
beyond correction, and the only remedy is In
their entire abolition, and the erection In
their place OF another and altogether different
tribunal
The abuses that have crept into tho present
system are due to two conspicuous causes
the incapable character of men who fill these
offices, and the allowance OF fees OF office In
the place OF fixed salaries. These two points
are first to be considered In whatever meas
ures OF reform may be adopted But we are
decidedly Of the opinion that something be-
You'd mere correction Ut abuses may be ac-
complished, and that q capable and efficient
subordinate judiciary can be devised to take
the place Of the Dogberries whom the present
system has served to develop and foster.
Some time since the DEMOCRAT suggested
the rough outline of an organization of these
inferior courts, on the model Of the county
courts Of the common law States, which has
met with commendation from the public, and
which, we are glad to know, has met the APP
prevail Of influential members Of the Judiciary
Committee of the Convention. Judge Land,
the distinguished chairman or that commit
tee, whose experience, both on the District
and Supreme bench of the State, eminently
qualities him for the position which has been
assigned him. has expressed himself in thor
ough approval of our plan and has already
formulated our crude suggestions into some
thing like a practicable shape. Judge Lands
proposition is. to organize a parish court to
be constituted OF justices from the different
wards, appertioned as the police jurors
are at present. These justices are to be in
vested with the powers OF committing magis-
trates in their respective wards, and with a
limited jurisdiction in civil cases, the right of
appeal to extend in all such cases to the par
ish tribunal This tribunal is to be composed
of ali the justices of the parish, and is to be
presided over by the parish Judge. who Is re-
quired TO be learned Ia the law. This tribunal,
in addition to its judicial functions, is to ex-
ercise the powers and discharge the duties Of
tha present police jury. Its judicial
powers are to consist, first, OF
an appellate jurisdiction In all civil
