WASHINGTON, March lit will be re-
: mcmbered that Senator Davis, OF Illinois,
early in the session, introduced bill "to
establish Court Of Appeals" which was
designed 10 rcieve the Supreme Court.
This bill has been amended and reported by
the Judiciary Committee, and while 1t II
improved by the changes made, 1t is still
Objectionable, because IL requires the
Supreme Judges 10 leave Washington
for protracied periods 10 preside
over the Circuit Appellate Courts
IL creates. Now, this would prevent
the Supreme Court from doing the amount
Of work it does now at Washington, and
the cases decided by the Circuit Courts
would therefore in the end be really no
gnin. What is wanted, the lawyers say, Is
a sub-Court Of Appeals at Washington,
with jurisdiction in cases not involving
large amounts or questions Of constitu-
tional law. The Davis bill, take it, from
present indications will not pass this ses-
sion. A prominent law officer OF the Gov
eminent tonight remarked that he was OPP
posed TO the bill for about the same reasons
n given above.
THENANTI-POLYGAMY BILL.
The fight over the anti-polygamy bill.
which commenced in the House last eye-
ming, was resumed to-day with spirit. The
Democrats, with few exceptions, voted
to strike out the Sth and 9th sections OF the
bill as il came from the Senate, contending
they were unconstitutional. II will be re-
collected that these sections substitute a
commission to be appointed by the Presi-
dent for the usual legislative machinery OF
a Territory. This commission, thanks to
the sagacity OF Governor Brown, OF
Georgia, cannot all be Republicans.
The Republicans voted down all amend
ments, and it was clear that the bill was
bound to pass sooner or later as 1t came
from the Senate. MeSsrs. Tucker, Car
Isle. and Converse were the chief speakers
AGAINST the BILL Said Democrat as he
watched the proceedings, 1.-THE plain Eng
lish Of that bill is to disfranchise an OF the
Mormons and turn over the Territory,

Gentiies. These will frame Radical con-

State, with two Radical senator's" You
