GENERAL PRESS REVIEW.
JUDICIAL SYSTEMS.

The census bureau has Just prepared a
very interesting pamphlet on criminal iur-
isprudence in this country, giving birds
eye view Of the courts in each state This
pamphlet contains information that can
otherwise be obtained only by porting over
the revised statutes and acts OF the various
states, and is invaluable TO lawyers 4 is
almost impossible 10 conceive of the great
difere nces existing in the judicial systems
of the states. Every possible form and
variety of court has been tried, until "a
Philadelphia lawyer" can scarcely get the
matter straight. Each state has one high
court, called in some a supreme court; In
Others a court of errors and appeals The
number of judges on this court varies from
three to twenty-five in New Jersey and
forty-one in New York. The Judges are
elected in twenty-ninc states in Vermont
for two years; in Rhode Island for life; ana
appointed In nine, Louisiana being one Of
the latter The shortest term of the APP
pointed judges is six years in New Jersey.
while in New Hampshire they serve until
20 years of age The supreme
court can issue remedial writs in
all save four states-Connecticut
Georgia, Kentucky and Oregon, where they
have only appellate jurisdiction. This ap.
pellate jurisdiction varies in almost every
state. The inferior courts are the circuit,
district probate, criminal, municipal and
city courts, court of common pleas, al d
court of oyer and terminer, The New
England courts are most plenteously pre-
vided with judges, and their people have
reason to complain that they are court
ridden people. In New Hampshire, for in
stance, there are $500 justices, or one to
every hundred inhabitants In Vermont
there is supreme court Of seven members
larger court than the great states of Ohio,
Texas and Indiana possess, fourteen
county courts, each consisting Of
three members, and over a thousand infe-
rior judges, Nebraska, on the other hand,
travels lightest judicialIy; although contain.
ing twice the population of the Green
Mountain State" her judiciary consists al
together of only three judges, chief JUS
tlce and two associate justices, who, when
they are not sitting on the supreme court,
sit as district judges" The only other IN,
dicial officers in the state are justices of the
peace. Among curious judicial provisions
IN some of the states are the following: In
Georgia notary publics act as justices of the
peace in North Carolina and several other
southern states, mayors have the same
powers, while in Ohio the probate Judges
have jurisdiction over msdemeanors.
These various and wholly different judicial
systems will show that the people OF this
country still entertain some notions of
states rights, as each state clngS tena-
ciously to its own judiciary system-[New

vANDERBILT IN THE SOUTH.

The Ohio railway can be made very
valuable feeder to the New York Central
system, and is well worth capturing for
that purpose alone, but Mr.. Vanderbilt
wants il for u purpose other than that He
Is thoroughly convinced that the south and
southwest are the fields for railway enter
prise, and the fact that the Clyde, Erlanger.
Cole, Huntington and the Louisville &
Nashville company are making both repu-
tation and money in their schemes for Gov
erlng the south with their systems of roads
has made the New York Centrals owner A
little bit jealous of them, and he proposes
to enter that field himself and compete for
the control of the traffic Both he and Mr..
DevereauX told the writer few days ago
that the object in securing control of the
ONO railway was to give the Central a line
OF its own to st. Louis, and that the Cincin-
natl connection is looked upon merely as
a part of what is to be his New Or
leans line. New Orleans, they both said,
rs the objective point, and Mr.. Vanderbilt
VIII not rest until he is able to run his own
cars over his own lines from New York to
that city. In answer to question as TO
how he proposed to get from Cincinnati to
New Orleans, direct answer was evadod,
but enough was gathered from what was
said to warrant the assertion that Il move
will be made TO capture the Erlanger lines,
1t is believed by Mr. Devereux certainly,
and most likely by Mr., Vanderbilt, that
the Erlanger folks will very soon find that
railroading in America is by no means a
sure and profitable business, and if n failure
TO gather the expected yields should occur,
they would be only too glad to unload. In
fact one of the gentlemen refused to
openly declare that he confidently ex-
pected that the Erlanger syndicate would
go to pieces almost on the approach of a
panic in American business circles. Then,
said he, the Cincinnati Southern, and the
other lines which are now, or may be at
that time, under the control of the syndi-
cate, would be. almost certain to drop into
the New York Central's basket. In fact,
Mr. Y. and Mr.. d. are all ready and pre-
pared for an event of that kind to take
place i'll the near future, and very much
sooner, they believe, than the public think
for Cincinnati Gazette.

Some Interesting Fncts Adduced
From the Report or the Presidomt
OF the School BDard.

The report of Colonel james b. Simpson
president of the board of school trustees
read before the CITY council at its meeting Of
Tuesday night, and received, contains como
interesting facts. II embraces the term
which began the 18Th Of September, 1880,
and ended the latter part OF January, 1881.
The total number of children within scholar
tic age in school community were $50 whites
and 229 colored, making total Of 1918.
The number of pupils ia scholastic age &C.
tually enrolled were $50. The mum.
Der over scholastic age actually
enrolled we're 81 number under the
scholastic age enrolled, 10; total number Of
pupils enrolled in schools, 571; average
daily attendance OF pupils within scholastic
age, 400f; number of days during term that
school was taught, white, 100 days, colored,
go days The white teachers drew salaries
per month at S75, $40 and $50, and colored
at $50 per month. The whole amount paid
was $3,5S7. The number of students in
photography was ST.; reading, 502; penirsn-
ship, 439; arithmetic. 394; geography 23l
English grammep al; composition, SO; his
tory, 4S; algebra, 4; geometry, 2; natural
philosophy, 4.
The total amount Of funds paid over by the
state to the city Of Dallas, was three thousand
six hundred and ffty-four dollars. which
gave an average of So 90 for each one of the
1918 children on the census rolls OF this
sum, all save the sum of $67, was paid M
salaries to the teachers, that is to say $4,000
to white, sDd $687 to colOred teachers. The
amount Of monay paid over 80 the city

the interest OF these saleg) was SO, 1927 Al; OF
this sum $240 "A was used to pay fuel bills,
rent, etc. Ia addition to this $240 Al taken
out of the money due teachers. the city APP
propriated $500 for fuel rent. furniture, etc.
being total amount of $1,000 Al paid for
fuel, rent, furniture, etc., in addition TO tho
sum paid as salaries TO teachers, the total
amount expended for account of public
schools for the year 1880 and 1851 was
$4,627.44. Tho expenditure CT this money
has not been productive of the best results.
Tho boz ell sccruing 10 the pupils is not
commensurate with the expenditures made,
so the president states in his report. The
principle reason, he states, why the best
results have not been attained is, in his judg.
nent, owing TO the fact that there ia lack
Of adequate school buildings owned by the
city, and il will be impossible to maintain
any efficient and satisfactory system
of public schools without suitable buildings,
and until they are had the school funds will
be expended to but little purpose. A subsi-
diary reason for the partial failure of the
schools was owing TO the exceedingly in
clement weather. and 10 the colored schools
the efllux of children in the early winter TO
the cotton fields. He says that the school
census was not we'll taken last year. whereby
the city lost several hundred dollars.

A Dangerous Bridge.
To the Editor of the Herald.

To the Editor of the Herald,
wish to coll the attention of the com
missioners' court of Dallas county TO the
dangerous condition of the bridge over
Rowlet creek, st the crossing on the Green.
vile and Dallas road, and the importance OF
immediate repairs. During the late freshet a
considerable amount of rock Was washed out
on the east bank and underneath the bridge,
which renders it very insecure. | have been
told .h.. some person in the neighborhood,
sometime since, was foolish or reckless
enough TO get rock Immediately under the
structure for the purpose of walling well,
and SO undermined il that the late heavy
rains easily washed down more of it. The
matter should be investigated, and If found
that ono or more persons had the hardihood
to endanger the safety of the bridge in the
manner indicated above, they should DO
brought TO an account and made to feel that
it would be infinitely cheaper to get rock
ELSEWHERE than under public bridge, the
next occasion they have for walliDg we'll.
This bridge must have cost not less than
$500. The lumber wss furnished by the
county, End erected by private subscriptions,
the merchants of Dallas and citizens living
rear the bridge contributing the recss'ary
amount. And as your paper Away takes a
great interest 10 whatever conc"-ss the pub
lie, therefore appeal to the r-oper authori-
ties through your columns.
