The Columbus Times, edited
by lawyers, last week published
an editorial on speedy trials"
1t thinks the law on continuan-
ces is now as stringent as it
may be consistent with the ina
ienable rights of accused par
ties, but it thinks the delays
may be avoided by a change
in the Judiciary system and to
that end it proposes abolishing
the present county courts and
appointing judges in all coun-
ties of over 10000 inhabitants,
who shall fill the position OF the
county judges and have the
jurisdiction over the district
judges; court to be held every
three months and the grand jury
to meet twice a year. 1t would
have the judges appointed by
the government and to hold Of
fee during good behavior.

THBlRGIsLEruRE.

The present legislature OF
Texas is being highly compile
mented as the most intelligent
body that has yet been elected
to a similar position. This be-
ing the case much is expected
of them. 1t is composed of
farmers. lawyers and editors,
there being some half dozen Of
the latter. Full pay is only al
lowed for a sixty days session,
but it is hardly probable that
the vast amount of business to
be transacted will be disposed
of in that time. The first bus
mess before that body after or
ganization will be the election
OF a United States senator to
second senator Maxey, whose
term expires on the 4th of
March next. Maxeyis APRON
inent candidate for reelection,
Throckmorton and his friends,
and they are very numerous,
have been for long time work
ing to secure the prize. In
case of a dead lock between
them Judge Jno. H. Reagan,
one ofthe ablest representatives
in congress is named as a prcb-
able candidate. Either one of
the three would make good
senator, though our preference
is for MaXey. The future alone
will develop who is to draw the
prize, atpresent the senatorship
is all a lottery, there is nothing
certain about it. 1t is to be
hoped that SO soon as the sena-
torial race is over the legislature
will settle down to work. One
of the first things should be the
repeal of the bell punch law.
and judging by popular opinion
we think it will be repealed. 1t
remains to be seen whether
there will be any members who
will have the hardihood to in
troduce a bill favoring the es-
Enlistment of a whipping post.
We are satisfied that such a bill
will not at this time find many
supporters, but the day is COM
ing when such bill will be a
necessity.

Color in the Cabinet.

The Cincinnati Commercial
says: 1--WE are favorably i'm
pressed by the suggestion that
Senator Bruce, of Mississippi,
should go into the cabinet
Bruce is a gentleman, and we
do not think of a better man for
secretary of the navy. He is
infinitely to be preferred to the
swarms of applicants in the
shape of fourth-rate southern
politicians, who happen to be
white men. Under the circum-
stances, Bruce's color is a re-
commentator"
As the democrats have moth
ing to expect of Garfield or his
Administrations certainly makes
no difference who he puts in his
cabinet, provided they are Ca
pable officers. The democrats
are only interested in an eff
Gent administration, and if Mr..
Bruce is the most competent
man in the south belonging to
the republican party, why ct
Garfield give him a cabinet ap-
pointment. IfBruce is the most
talented republican in the south
it does not speak volumes of
praise for the white republicans.

The st. Louis Republican
says a ratio of 10000 people
to a representative would give
a congress of 200 members, of
which the West would have one
hundred and sixteen, and would
therefore be all powerful in leg
islation. This preponderance
of power in the West cannot be
weakened, in fact, by any ratio,
but it is safe to safe to say that
the habit of the eastern men,
bers Of standingly unitedly to-
gether regardless of all political
distinctions, upon every qestion
OF a sectional character, will
continue to give that portion of
the country a power in congress
greatly out of proportion to
their numerical strength.
