CASES BY THE HUNDRED.
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURTS PREDICAMENT.

No Possibility That the Court Can Ever
Catch Up With Its Business-The De-
ficieney Among the Fourth Glass Post
Ofices-Knox to FIJI Raum's Place
Temporarily.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The following
is statement of the work accomplished
by the Supreme Court of the United States
during the October term OF 1882. which
ended Monday last. At the end of the
October term of 1881 the number of cases
left on the docket was S36. Since that
time 422 new cases have been dOcketed.
making a total of 1858. OF these cases
lS1 have been argued orally during the
term which has just closed, and 81 have
been submitted in printed briefs, making
total of 2S4 cases actually brought before
the court for its consideration. This is a
gain of IA cases as compared with the
October term of 1881. The number of
cases finally disposed of and stricken from
the docket during the term INST ended, is
3o7, as follows: Affirmed 1S5; reversed
60: questions answered s; cases
dismissed for various reasons I34.
As compared with the last term this
is a decrease of II in 1.-THE number
of cases disposed of. The number
OF cases awaiting the action OF the court
continues year by year to increase. At
the end of the term of 1879 there were left
undisposed of 791 cases. At the end of
the October term of 1880 the number had
increased to S37, and at the end of this
term it had reached 81. All but IA of
the cases argued and submitted at this
term have been decided. Among those
which the court still has under cOnsidera-
tion are the civil rights cases, the Mercer
colony land case from Texas, and the
case OF the county of San Mateo against
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
1t is estimated at the Post Office De
partment that under the recent change in
computing the commissions of the fourth
class Postmasters an expenditure of about
$60O,OOO more than that which would have
been required under the old law will be
necessary to settle the accounts of the
fourth class offices up to October l, when
the tWo-cent postage law goes into Ope-
ration.
President Arthur to-day designated
John j. Knox, Comptroller of the Cur
rency, to act as Commissioner of Internal
Revenue for ten days from the 10th inst.

ers as acting Commissioner will expire

Amel.aan Reglster. Is.


There has, perhaps, never been a
greater faux pas made by any man in
public life in this country, than MIR.
Pendleton has made in the matter Of
his civil service reform bill. 1t shows
actual want of craftsmanship, as well
as q gross want of comprehension Of
the subject matter Of his measure
itself. The spoils system of Office has
been a great and a growing evil; but
Mr.. PeBdleton's bill neither removes
nor modifes, but in fact complicatcs
and aggravates the evil. This spOils
system has long been a c%orroding and
corrupting ulcer in the administration
Of our political system; but to eradi
cate it the knife must be put to the
roots ofthe evil, which constitute a part
of a general scheme ofmal administra.
zion to prostitute delegated civil
power tothe base purposes ofambition,
cupidity and party aggrandizement.
General Garfield used this nefarious
system of political abuse as an instru-
mentality to secure bis election to the
Presidency, but afterwards fell a vic
tim to it himself. He was not a
martyr to the cause Of the liberties or
welfare Of his country, but TO the
monstrous spOils system Of office,
which he had invoked and used to
promote his election. Guiteau had
engaged actively in the campaign, and
labored for Gar6eld's election. And
when he demanded his reward, he
was rudely repulsed, and finally for.
hidden entrance TO the White House,
and the tragical affair followed.
The spoils system and its attendant
abuses for partisan ACKNOWLEDGMENT
have become seated upon the very
vitals Of our political system, and can
only be eradicated by an amendment
Of the Constitution. The remedy is
simple, and can be made effective in
either Of two ways. One is to amend
the Constitution, and take the appoint
ing power away from the President, as
proposed by Judge Geddes at the last
session in the House. The other is 10
amend the Constitution and take away
the monarchicai feature from il. and
make the government Republican a.
to the executive, by a chief executive
council instead Of a monarch.
But Mr.. P~endleton's measure i
much worse than a failure. ]. w,

NNA 40
Hon. Atha Thomas, who was elected
State Treasurer yesterday, was born in
Williamson county, and has lived
there all his life, being now in his SOD
year. Mr.. Thomas was a school
teacher before the war, reading law in
his spare moments. At the close of
the war he had acquired a fair knowl-
edge OF law and commenced to prac.
tice in the town of franklin, where
he has since remained. His only en-
trance into public life was in 1869-7O.
when he served as a member of the
Legislature-the first Democratic
Legislature after the war. He took
active part in the several sessions
ofthat body, being a member of the
committee to investigate the railroads
Of the State. Mr.. Thomas has always
acted with the Democratic party. He
is a gentleman Of unimpeachable char
acter and he has superior business
qualifications. The honor conferred
on him yesterday was a deserved
compliment, as Mr.. Thomas has
been busy lately with his law prac.
tice and he has done but little cleo.
pioneering.
