An Extra Judgc wanted HadIy.

STRuBRSVlLLE, w., March 10.
Editors Inteligenesr. .,,rt7 ,.,F.
The principal topic Of public considera-
ton here is the proposed bill granting an
additional Judge in this (the sth) judicial
district. The feeling in this county among
the leading lawyers, is decidedly in favor
of its adopion-there being but two ex.
ceptions to the far being q unit in opinion.
The condition Of our docket here, with It's
overcrowded and vexatiously delayed
litigation, calls loud for relief, and there
cannot but be an affirmative response by
any one, who will trouble himself 10 in
yestigate theiacts bearing on the case. The
necessarily repeated continuahoes OF i'm.
portant causes, are burdensone, costly and
in some cases fraught with injustice 70 the
parties. ' l'''' =.
It is too much to expect that one man,
even with superhuman efforts, can give
that scrutinous consideration-case by
case-to the swollen aud still swelling
docket Of our present subdivision, which
full Justice requires. II he does 1t stu.
diousy and well, he Is bound to be
swamped by the tide oi incoming cases; II
he does II inconsiderately and Ill, the
backwatersof the higher courts are apt "a
submerge him. 'D. R.H rnu : /,
Judicial subdivisions OF much less pop.
ulation and commercial importance than
ours will be, under the bill have.now two
and in some cases three judges. The
rapid development Of various industries
In our division has necessitated much ad.
ditional litigation, and while this in all
other sections oi the State has been
promptly met by our increased Judiciary
the expense Of which has been largely
borne by us-yet with all our growth and
consequent increase Of court business, we
have been compelled TO crowd upon one
man the settlement OF all law questions
arising. Our subdivision Is the only one
remaining as 1t was organized twenty.nine
years ago, and during that period the
judges In the State have been nearly
trebled; while we are still left to hobble
along as best we may, with an overworked
bench, EFiA ys0 '
This subdivision paysior Common Plea
Judges alone, s. ,000 per annum, and vel
out Of this we draw bat q, 500 year fol
one judge. We cbeerfully paid our extri
proportion TO relieve other parts OF the
State, and we think II, is Just that they
should harken TO our cry for relief.
