ments. Any five persons may form a
private corporation to deal in lands, and
titles can be executed to these corpora
tons, and the lands be thus held undi-
vidcd and in perpetuity by transfer of
the stock of the corporation from father
to son. The aristocracy of slavery was
destroyed by the results of the war; but
a landed aristocracy is being built up by
Bourbon legislation.to supply its place.
Such a policy is in conflict with every
principle of true democracy and contrary
to the spirit of our system of government.
The thoughtful and rejecting people of
the South are beginning to realize the
danger to free institutions, menacing
them in the continued supremacy
of Bourbonism, and are ready for reform.
In Texas the citizens of German origin,
who know something of the old baronial
system of the Fatherland; the Changers,
who are farmers; the poor whites and
poorer blacks; who are striving to get q
homestead; the emigrants from the North
and Northwest, who are accustomed to
small farms, to agriculture, churches, and
free schools, willall unite to overthrow this
Bourbon policy, which can only end in q
government of close corporations and
monopolies. A landed aristocracy and
free people cannot exist together in this
country. The one or the othermust neces-
sarily 90 down.

Libernlism in Alahnmn.

In the spring of 1880 an Independent
movement for State ticket was inaugu-
rated in Alabama prior to the assembling
of the National Republican Convention.
In May Republican State convention
was held, at which an effort to nominate
straight Republican ticket received but
small support. A State central commit
tee was appointed, and upon that com
mittee the State convention conferred
authority to take such action concerning
the State election in August as it might
deem advisable. In June the Independ-
ents placed their ticket in the field, with
Pickens, an eX-confederate soldier, ut its
head for Governor. Their platform advo-
Gated arepeal of the State election law,
which had been framed to silence Re-
publican majority, and declared for free
ballot and a fair count. 1t gave due
prominence also to the cause of popular
education. George Turner, then as now
chairman of the Republican State Cen
trail Committee, and gentleman of high
character and liberal views, addressed to
each member of the committee letter
asking his views on the situation, stating
his own to be in favor of indorsing the In
dependents. The committee unanimously
Endorsed that policy, and the work of or
ganizing the Republican vote was begun
The prominent Republicans throughout
the State, including the Federal officers
were requested to contribute funds, and
in response to this appeal there was real
lied the sum of $27. The vote at that
election has never been ascertained, but
the count showed some forty thousand
for PiclSens, the Independent. The
counters stopped at about one hundred
and twenty-five thousand for Cobb, the
Bourbon candidate. In the counties
where resided the men holding the most
lucrative Federal Offices the vote for
Pickens was conspicuously small. All
of which shows that the Repub-
lican organization in Alabama is
literally inclined, and that the failure
to rally the party vote for Liberal move
ment in 1880 was due to general apathy
rather than to any lack of dscernment
or patriotism on the part of those in
trusted by the State convention with the
management Of affairs A similar effort
now would have in its aid the splendid
example in Virginia and the earnest
support Of tho Administration. The
time has gone by when Bourbons can
make it for the interest of Federal Off
Gals to leave them in undisputed posses
sion of the political field in Southern
States

The Supreme Court.

1t seems to be conceded that some plan
should be adopted to enable the Supreme
Court of the United States to dispose of
the business now rapidly accommodating
upon its docket. The number of cases
has, within the memory of many lawyers,
increased from thirty-five or forty up to
eleven or twelve hundred, and the docket
of course will continue to swell us the
population and business of the country
increases. Several schemes are now
under discussion, but to each of them
very grave objections have been made.
A gentleman learned in the law has sug-
gested to us that the following plan is
perfectly practical, and that it is not OBJ
noxious to constitutional objections:
/. Relieve the judges of the Supreme
Court from all duty in the Circuit Courts.
2. Require the terms Of the court to
commence on the second Monday of SEP
TENDER in each year.
g. Increase the number of judges to
eleven.
H. Abolish the twentieth rule of the
court, which permits parties, by consent,
to submit their causes, without oral and
on printed arguments, out of their regular
order on the docket, within the first ninety
days of the term.
5. Permit no opinions to be read from
he bench except in cases Of great public
importance.
G. Enlarge the sum upon which the
United States can appeal from judgments
Of bn Tnnrt Of (lnip,c nj al
the Court of Claims with final appel
late jurisdiction over certain class
of patent and internal revenue cases,
which now needlessly so to the Supreme
Court.
There is no necessity for sending the
judges of the Supreme Court to do duty
on the circuits. If the force of circuit
judges is not sufficient it should be en-
larged. In addition to this there is a
good reason why the judges of the Su-
preme Court should not hold the circuit
courts. No judge should sit on an appel
late bench while his own decisions are
under consideration on appeal. The en-
mine does not change human nature,
The immunity of the Supreme Judges
from the labors of the circuit may add
about three months to each term. of the
higher court.
In the next place the abolition of the
twentieth rule will prevent the bringing
up of very many causes now appealed
because of the existence of this rule The
defeated party in the court below by rea-
son of this rule gains, as he thinks, one
more chance, and at but little cost. The
labor thusput upon the court isimmense;
il necessitates recess of a whole month
every term to dispose of the accumula-
ton of business thus brought on, and tho
fact that the causes are not argued orally
doubles the laborwhich would ordinarily
attend the disposition of these causes.
The custom of reading opinions on
Mondays has always prevailed in this
court, but it seems to be wholly unneces-
sary, and a great waste of valuable time,
The day for reading opinions (Monday)
is practically taken out of the week as
day for argument; sometimes nearly the
entire day is consumed in the reading of
opinions. Every purpose would be full
filled If the conclusions or decisions Of
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1882-02-25

The bill to place General Grant or the
retired list with the rank which he gave
up to become the Union candidate for
President in 1868 is most just Its pas
sage in the Senate by the votes of Demo-
Gratis added to the Republicans illustrates
the deep hold he has upon the Nation.
But recently the object of as fierce strife
within the Republican party as he had
been years before of strife between the
two parties, the vote of the Senate shows
that the public regard for him is not
bounded by factional or party lines. OF
all men he did the confederate cause most
harm. But never with any act or word
of his was mingled any faint of other
hostility to those he opposed than be-
came q soldier believing in the justice Of
his country's cause. The vote in the
Senate indicates the united approval of
the measure by the Republicans and by
confederate and other Democrats enough
to insure its passage in the House by u
large majority.
General Grant did not leave the army
in 1868 without great unwillngness.
With his training and inclinations it was
a sacrifice, and he made it only upon the
solicitation of the whole Republican
party, and the belief entertained by its
leaders that under the circumstances he
was the only man who could be elected
by the party which had supported the
Government during the civil war. In
1872 he was compelled to allow his name
to be again used, because not to do so
would have seemed retreat from a
violent personal opposition. His tri-
umphant election for second term vim
Dictated him from aspersions as cruel as
they were unjust. The effort of his
friends to again make him the candidate
in 1880, ending though it did unsuccess-
fully, proved him to be the choice of u
great body of his countrymen, while the
opposition to him was based on grounds
in no wise rejecting upon his character
for ability, integrity, or patriotism.
The friends of the renowned and be-
loved hero of Appomattox will highly
appreciate the untiring zeal and tact with
which General Logan has pressed his
bill, and its fianal passage by the House
and approval by the President will
prove that republics are not all un.

One of the most successful fairs ever held in this
city has been the one just concluded at St. Angus
tines Church. The total amount realized cannot
yet be definitely stated, but It will reach above
$1,000 The tables in the fair-room were beauti-
fully decorated and laden with useful and fancy
articles The ladies in charge made great exer-
tons, and the success Of the fair may In a great
measure be ascribed to their efforts The Fair
Gosei'e, conducted by members of the Carroll In
stitute, was published every other day, and It's
columns contained many items of great interest to
the congregation of st. Augustines Church. On
the last page Of the Gazette there was mssate-
ment, however, in reference to the "memorial
pin" of Father Barotti. The pin was not pur-
chased by the ladies of the archbishop's table, as
stated, but by Mr.. Isaac Landic and several other
personal friends of Father Barotti. What dispose
ton will be made of it has not yet been de-
tnrmlnal.
