The Senate resumed consideration of its
unfinished business, bill to establish court OF
appeals. Mr.. Morgan had read by the clerk
the substitute providing for the court of fed
eral appeals. He said this had been pre-
pared by member of the district bar and he
preferred its arrangement to that of the bill.
J The accumulation of business in all federal
courts had resulted from thrusting upon those
courts new elements OF administration. His
plan would be to cut down jurisdiction OF
federal courts and relegate extraneous sub
jects to state courts, where they originally
belonged. He could not subscribe to the
proposition of the bill that the present
judges shall sit as members of an appellate
court. He asserted that some district Judges
were unfit Cor any such responsible positions.
Some of them had been mere partisan tools,
and he preferred new judges taken fresh from
the people rather than the old fossils on the
bench. who become indurated in the service
of party rather than of the country.
The committee amendments up to the 10th
section relating to appeals to the Supreme
court in patent and copyright cases, involv-
ing less than $1,000, were agreed to.
Considerable objection was manifested to
this amendment, and Messrs. Butler, Gar
land and Vest gave notice of amendments
The bill was then laid over as unfinished
business for tomorrow.
