TIE FEpERAL COURTS.

There has beer great complaint that
tho course of litigation in the Supreme
Court OF the United States il 30 obstruct.
cd by the great number of appeals as to
render the administration of the law 90
tardy as to practically amount to de-
nial of justice. There are SO many cases
pending that appeals taken now cannot
Be reached under three yeara, and the
Court is sill getting further behind, so
Chat none but men of means can afford
to contest their rights before the Court
Of highest resort. To remedy this evil
many plans have been suggested, and
among them one which is nov before
Congress, and is considered by many as
the best possible solution of the troubles
to be removed. It Is thus outlined by
the Atlanta Cbnstitution, aud should, We
think, be passed without delay by Con-
greas: a
The Bill before the Senate for the Gre
ation of intermediate Courts OF Appeal
In the several Circuits is strongly en-
dorsed by ex.Judge Davis, ex-Judge
Strong and, 1t Is believed, by the present
members Of the Supreme Court. Those
who are most familiar Will, the business
of1the Court do not favor larger Su-
prenhe Goust to be broken up into parts,
butthey prefer intermediate Courts that
will stop a portion of the cases that
would otherwise be- carried to the Su.
prsme Court. The Senate Bill provides
for the appointment of two additional
Judges Ia each Of the nine Circuits into
which the country is at present divided.
Then the three Circuit Judges, together
with two Of the District Judges within
the Circuit, 10 be assigned for the pur-
pose, aud the Justice of the Supreme
Court allotted to the same, would consti-
tute the Court of Appeals for that Cir
cult. To this tribunal appeals could be
taken from the Circuit and District
Courts in cases in which the sum in con-
troyersy exceeded $500 or any important

question vas involved. This wonld ma
terially extend the opportunity for re-
view Of decisions Of single Judges as
now in order TO carry case TO the Su-
preme Court the amount involved must
be at least $5 900. 1t is also proposed to
aliow appeals in criminal cases where
they cannot now be taken before any
appellate tribunal. Reaort 10 the Su-
preme Court by wri! Of error would siill
remain in cases where the amount in
controversy exceeded $4,000, where any
question Of Federal law WAS involved, or
where the Judges Of the Court oi .ip-
peals certified that there We. an impor.
tant question which it Sas desirable 70
hare that tribunal pas. upon. J; would
also retain exclusive appellate juri.a!ic-
lion in patent and copyright cases.

A yEUKO DESeg.ADO,
Wimbush. while Drunk, Attacks sIr. Ma
gill and, In the Nick of Time, Is Struck
Down with Pichaxc.
GREENvILLE, May s

GREENvILLE, May s.
On Saturday afternoon at Due West,
Abbeyille county, murderous assault
was made on David Magill, E.s. !, young
lawyer Of the Abbeville bar, by Cyrus
w. Wimbush, who was summoned to at
tend the United States Court in Charles
ton as juror in place of his dead brother
Jesse.
While standing OH the street in Due
West Mr.. Magill was approached by
Wimbush, who asked him what he was
doing in Due West and cursed him in
the most abusive and insulting manner.
Mr.. Magill told Wimbush to go away and
let him alone and, to avoid difficulty,
went into Galloway's store. He was fol.
lowed into the store by Wimbush, who
opened IL large knife and continued 80
advance, Magill retrealing all the time
until he reached the hack of the store,
when he seized d hetchet and threw it at
Wimbush. The hatchet struck VIM
bush on the head, but did not keep him
from advancing. He made lunge at
Magill, who pressed himself back against
n pair of scales and escaped the blow.
Just as Winibush was about to make a
second lu1nge with his knife, Mr.; William
Magill, brother of the assaulted man,
seized T. pickaxe and aimed we'll
directed blow at Wimbush. The point
of the pick entered Wimbush's back and
cut its way into the rufiian's body for
depth of about three inches. Wimbush
fell and was afterwards carted home,
where he lies in critical condition.
Wimbush was under the influence of
liquor, but ia known in the community
as q most quarresome and dangerous
character, 1t is said he now declares
that is he RECEIVERS he will kill Magill.
He has been bitter and malignant pol
itician, and the community are afraid he
will get well.-J. G. H.'s dispatch to the
Ne,cs and Courier.

The National House of Representa-.
tives is again discussing the proposition
10 make the Department of Agriculture
coordinate department Of the Govern
merit, and lis chief officer member of
Tho Cabinet. In the discussion last
Monday Mr.. Anderson, of Kansas, cx-
planned and advocated the bill. Mr..
Aiken, of South Carolina, supported the
proposition Of elevating to the dignity
Of an Executive Department the Bureau
Of Agriculture, which represented the
great farming interests on which rested
the welfare of the Government. Mr..
Muldrow, of Mississippi, advocated the
pending bill, maintaining that no good
reason could be shown why the depart
ment should be at an inferior grade in
comparison with the other executive
departments of the government. Agri-
culture was the paramount interest Of
the country, and this fact should be re.
cognized in the legislation of Congress.
The treaties OF this government with
foreign countries wero of vast Importance
in their effects on agricultural interests,
and he con.ended that a representative
OF those interests should have place in
the Cabinet of the President. AIr. ken.
ma, of West Virginia, spoke in favor Of
the substitute offered by him providing
for q department OF industries, to consist
Of q division of agriculture, and di.
vision of commerce.

The House Of Representative on last
Saturday passed the Bill providing for
the appointment of Commission 10 re-
vse the tariff by vo'c of l51 to 85.
The advocates OF high protection voted
soldly for the Bill, and received the as
sistancc Of all congressman who did not
know exactly what position to take on
This important question, while those who
favor a reduction Of the tariff adjusted
for revenue Only, or for revenue with in
cidental protection, voted in the negative.
In looking over the vote it appears that
The two parties were somewhat split,
though many moro Democrats voted for
The Bill than Republicans voted against
IT, This Bill, if carried out in good faith, =,
will result in great and permanent
blessing to the country, but there is every
reason 10 fear that it has been devised by
the friends of high protection in order
10 allay the demand of the people who
are becoming clamorous for tariff re-
form, and in this view sc think our Rep
resentatiyes acted wisely in opposing the
Bill and insisting on an immediate re.
vision of the present odious, unequal and
unjust tariff system.
