SENATE,--On motion OF Mr.. Ransom, an,
Notwithstanding Mr. Morgans appeal for con
sideration Of the calendar during the morn
ing hour, all prior orders were postponed
and the river and harbor bill
was taken up.
The pending question was on MIR. Brown
amendment to increase the appropriation fol-
improving the Savannah, Georgia, harboI
from $4,000 to 100000.
MIR. Herman spoke in opposition to The
bill.
Mr.. Hill, of Georgia, said that in Justice tc
| his colleague the amendment was generally
admitted. lie hoped, therefore, it would moi
be rejected merely because the bill was
wrong in other respects. He thought the
rule should be adopted combining these bills
to appropriations for works Of national value
and that the President should be authorized
to veto parts of bills without vetoing the
whole OF the bill.
Mr.. Maxey said he sympa!hized with the
Senators from Georgia, but feared that if the
bill should become heavily laden down with
amendments they could lose what they
already had 1t would in his judgment
be better policy to take
what they had and get the remainder hereaf-
Ter oil proper
After considerable debate Mr.. Browns
amendment was rejected-yeas, 16; nays, 28.
1t was generally admitted that the amend
ment was perfectly proper and neces'a AIRY
one, but it was feared If it should be agreed
to other amendments would also have TO be
passed, and the bill would be so loaded down
that it would be killed entirely.
Two or three other amendments of SINH
Jar character were offered, but voted down
or tabled without discussion.
Mr.. Morgan offered the following amend
ment:
Provided, That the entire sum available
under the first section of this act shall not
exceed S5,0l6,000, which sum shall be appor-
toned by the Secretary of War to the works
of improvement designated in the first sec
ton, and in proportion to that amount there
in specified for each work of improvement
shall bear 10 the sum of S5,0l6,000.
Mr.. Morgan spoke at length in support of
his amendment and in opposition to the un-
restrained expenditure of public money in
local works. lie wanted to see this bill
passed, but wanted to limit the amount to
reasonable sum. This his amendment
would accomplish.
Mr.. Bayard moved an amendment by
making the amendment $4,000, 900. After
considerable debate Bayard's amendment to
Morgan's amendment was rejected-yeas,

Our judicial SYSTEM.


The subject of judicial reform was
agitated by the democratic can
didates for the legislature in the re-
cent canvass-and afterwards by
their competitors. Our members
elect can render no greater service
to their constituents than by aiding
all we'll directed movements to this
end. The supreme court has just adj
journed hereafter going through
the dockets of the first and second
circuits. No cases were tried from
any other circuits-althOugh there
are cases from our own circuit which
have been on docket in that court
for more than two years. The fault
does not rest with the eminent
jurists who make up the supreme
court, but in the constitution of our
Judicial system. We do not venture
at present to suggest plan-but it
needs no argument to demonstrate
the necessity for a radical change.
This VeXatious and interminable de-
lay is always unjust and injurious
to litigants-and very often it is
ruinouS.
One of its evil results is, that men
prefer to submit to oppression and
Injustice rather than have thei.N for
tunes dependent, year after year,
upon the uncertain result OF a law
suit. This defective system works
practical denial of justice. Gus
tice delayed is justice denied"
The same criticism may, with
equal Justice, be applied to the in
ferior courts-and especially the
chancery courts. The very word
chancery has become synonymous
with formality, prolixity and delay.
We need something to accelerate
the movements of this stately and
dignified tribunal. 1t meets semi
annually and as rule no case, not
even the simplest, can be brought
to a final decree in less than six
months, and we venture the asser-
ton that the average duration of
chancery causes is two years at least.
There is no reason why this court
shout not meet as often as the cir
cult court. The long periods allow
ed for taking proof could easily be
curtailed, and numberleSs fOrmali-
ties profitably yabrogated. Our whole
judicial system from beginning to
end is cumbrous, defective and in
efficient. Justice demands and the
people demand a sweeping and
radical reformation. Contenting our
selves at present with these general
reflections and reserving a detailed
expression of our views for another
occasion, we commend the subject
to our county members as eminent
ly worthy their careful and thought
ful consideration.

"Tramp Abroad !"
To make this excellent dish, pro-
ceed as follows: Take sufficiency
of water and a sufficiency of flour,
and construct bullet-proof dough.
Work this into the form of a disk,
with the edges turned up some
three-quarters of an inch. Tougher
and kiln-dry it for a couple of days
in a mild but unvarying tempera-
ture. Construct cover for this re-
doubt in the same way and of the
same material. Fill with stewed
dried apples, aggravate with cloves,
lemon-peeI and slabs Of citron, add
two portions of New Orleans sugar,
then solder on the lid and set 1t In a
safe place until 1t petrihes. Serve
cold at breakfast and invite your

senator James E. Bailey and JOAN
Savage.
Helena fArl.. \ World.

I
The motley complexion Of tile
new legislature in Tennessee renders
the recollection Of Senator Bailey
somewhat doubtful. Ona Joint ball
lot the democrats will have only a
meagre majority. Whether this
can be relied upon for him is doubt-
ful. He is one of the foremost men
in the nation, and his reelection Is
a matter of interest to every state In
the Union-hence we make no apol-
0gy for referring to il in this con-
nection. Arkansas claims a joint
interest with her sister state in the
promotion Of this distinguished and
able gentleman. His course in the
United States senate has been such
as to entitle him to the admiration
of all. He deserves to be, and we
believe Will be, dealt with in perfect
good faith by the democracy of Ten
nessee. 1t is hardly possible that
they will suffer him to be defeated
by that chronic office-seeker and
disorganizer, Savage, who like the
ghost OF Banquo, without the terrors
attending the defunct Thane, will
not down at the bidding of any
man or set of men-not even the
whole body of the people. The
party in Tennessee has
survived many shocks in its check
cred career, but we are gratitied
that ii still lives, though Savage
does claim to belong to it. Why he
should have so prosecuted it is a
TO US. But the persecution
must soon end. His mania for
office has reached the secondary
stage and must soon put terminus
to the miseries of the unhappy vic
tim of self-deIusion. He has lost |
even the distinguished consideration |
of a bolter. He has sunk into
mere intermittent office-seeker. We |
are induced to think that he has not |
strength enough to be of any use TO
the republicans; and the democrats /
never did see the infinitesimal USE
him, which charity would |
compel one to think he sees in him
self.
There must be strangely morbid |
of a mans political system
when he takes continual pleasure in
being a candidate for--defeat. Let
him be retired to the shades of pri-
vate life, and Senator Bailey Ice re-
.urned to the senate, where he has
the country such efficient
services.
