THE debate in the Senate the other
day upon the bill to increase the sala-
ries of the Federal Judges in the Dis
trict Courts to $4,000, evoked some
very entertaining statements from SEN
ators who opposed the bill, touching
the nepotism that had characterized the
management of these courts, both North
and South, during the last twenty years.
Mr.. Coke, of Texas, declared that for
a score Of years there had not been a
Judge of the United States Court in his
State, whose nepotism in. securing the
appointment of relatives to places IN
and about the courts, had not become
matter of public scandal. And what
Mr.. Coke says of Texas is equalled if
not surpassed in many other States,
conspicuous among which is that i'm
maculate old Commonwealth of Massa-
ehusetts, where the memory Of man
runneth not back to the time when Pc
leg Sprague was not Judge Of the Uni
ted States District Court, and his broth
er clerk of the same court for | don t
know how many years. There was
Blodgett, of Chicago, who came within
an ace of being impeached a few years
ago, who had more relatives than Enoch
but who eontrived to find places for
about all of them at the Government
feed-trough Going back further, we
discover that old Judge Nelson, after
wards on the Supreme Bench of the
United States, had his son for clerk in
his court in the Northern District OF
New York, and that son, by the way, is
the Judge of the United States District
Court for Minnesota, and one OF the
best Judges ON the Federal Bench. And
there was Judge Hanna, of Indiana,
who managed to take care OF his son
and brother, and l don't know how
many other relatives, but [ do know
that the instances were rare when the
name of Hanna was not attached to
about every document emanating from
the Court, whether as Judge, Clerk,
Commissioner, OF otherwise. And SO
it has gone on all through. the gamuto of
States and Territories from time imme-
mortal until now Congress has set its
foot down upon it with an emphasis
that will effectually check 1.-THE pres
ent bill making the appointment OF any
relative nearer than first cousin, high
crime and misdemeanor, for which the
Judge is subject to impeachment.
