THE NEW ORLEANS SAVINGS BANK.

To the Editor of the Democrat:
The duty Of the receivers is plain. 1t is to
realize out of the assets Of the bank all that
can be realized, exercising their best ludg-
ment as to what is for the interest OF all the
depositors in the time and manner OF doing
this, and, as collections are made, to make a
pro rata distribution among the deposltors'
Payment should be enforced from debtors
who are able to pay, and when the debtor is
insoIyent the security he has pledged should
be disposed Of to the best advantage. The
wealthy debtor should not be permitted to
lianidate his debt on the balances on pass
books which he has bought from depositors.
He can acquire no greater claim than the
depositor has, and all the claim the latter
has is to his pro rata of what may be realized
from the assets of the bank. That such an
operation, il allowed, would work to the det-
rinent of depositors is clearly shown by the
following illustration:
Let A, B and @ represent the depositors,
each having $4,000 to his credit on his pass

THE JUDICIARY.
, Editor Of the Democrat:

To the Editor Of the Democrat:
Several of my brother lawyers have ex-
pressed their views as to the reforms to be
introduced in the judiciary system OF our
State The press itself has largely discussed
the subject. The New Orleans Bee, in parti-
cular, which Is edited by French lawyer Of
distinction, has made very able suggestions.
With the help of all those excellent remarks,
after a careful review of the judiciary system
OF other countries and OF the good or evil
with which they have been attended in prac-
tice, have drawn I'D for the department Of
justice complete plan, which | respectfully

ton, to make two remarks First I desire

the present incumbents, who have generally
given satisfaction as judges and as clerks. i
earnestly hope that they will be allowed to
remain in office until the expiration of their
term; and even then l would be happy to
learn that they have been appointed under
the new system.
Next, as to the reduction in the salaries Of
judges. OF course, distinction must be
drawn. Temporary judges ought to have a
large salary. Permanent judges ought to
content themselves with q reasonable com
pensation. The greatestierror which lawyer

To the Editor Of the Democrat:
Mr.. Gabe Prats owns piece of property on
st. Ann street, between Chartres and Royal
which property extends into the yard Of the
court building. Mr.. Prats having noticed
that privies for the use of the courts had been
built on his line, notified the Administrator OF
Public Buildings Of the fact, and asked him
to have them removed. No attention having
been paid to his request, Mr.. Prats sent petit
ton to the City Council asking for relief. II
the privies have been erected on the line OF

how is it that the rights OF property and
