0 iting any denial or abridgment of suffrage

The senate resumed consideration of
9 unfinished business, being the bill to estab-
y lish court OF appeals,
u Mr.. Morgan hal read by the clerk sub
stltute Tor thebill appointing u court uf Fed
eral appeals. He said the substitute had
been prepared by member OF the district
bar and he preferred its arrangement to
n that of the committee bill His plan would
. be to cut down the jurisdiction of Federal
'. courts and relegate eXtraneous subjects
Il to the state courts where they originally
belonged. An increase of the supreme
!. courts in hisopnion would afford better re-
lief, The project of an intermediate ap-
J. pelate court ne regarded as useless. Upon
d this point he advocated the provision OF the
L substitute for but one such
Z court with ten additional judges,
= as against the proposition OF
K the bill, which he. said created nine such
:; courts and eighteen additional Judges, or
d one court for each circuit, with present
l. district and circuit judges thereof and two
I. additional Judges. Mr.. Morgan further
J., stated that he could not subscribe to the
u proposition Of the bill that the present
J. judges shall sit MS members of the appellate
. court. He asserted that some of the
u district judges were unfit for any
y, such responsible positions some of them
)i had been mere partisan tools and he pre-
ferrod new judges taken fresh from the
o people, rather than old fossils on the bench
e who had become indurated in the service
x OF party rather than of country. In this
connection he criticized the rulings of such
judges in Alabama, to show their alleged
, Ignorance OF legal requirements and incom
q potency for their duties lie could never
V give his consent to the bill il men of this
I; class were to constitute the proposed
u court.
T. Mr.. Butler submitted several proposed
Q amendments TO be printed. One provide:
that after the establishment ofthe courts o
appeal no appointments to the supreme
bench shall be made until the number o.
Judges is reduced TO six.
r Senators Garland and Vest also gave no
h. tice of amendments.
!. The bill was laid over as unfinished busi
10 ness for tomorrow.
