sitCtonsl restriction.
Mr. OVERSTREEF: In view OF the fact
.cemnistee has been appointed to Tedi trict
,bs ststs for Judicial purposes, it seems to
ns there ought not to be new circuits Gre
slsd. There will be too many on hand, and
,hsv vii be hard to get rid of. at the last
ssptembar term OF the courts there was bat
little business done anywhere in the State
on account Of the POLITICAL canvass, and nov
s,ssuse they are little overlooking it is not
70 5e wondered at. There are enough cir
so;,s already established - do all the bnsi-
rses Ct the State with dispatch.
NJ. FOWLER: have some knowledge
Of the business Of some of the counties pro.

Nr. WILLARD: ! have some experience
VIII committees appointed 10 sit during the

srvointsd on prison convict labor, and yet
,o-Gsy that subject is 10 better digested than
itsss two years ago. 1t is simply imOracti-
cable the com mittee men can not afford 20
;save their private business without pay. to
attend 10 such matters. I have never cast
nv vote for new circuit but as the county
& Montgomery is year and half behind
with court business IL would be q practical
denial OF the CONSTITUTIONAL provision that
jcstlce shall be dispensed speedily and with
oat delay unless relief is granted. I think
the bill ought e pass.
Mr. MARSHALL: The people should have

be utter impossinility for Montgomery

shall vote for It. There is no State in the
Union but bas more courts and different
courts tran the State of Indiana.
=. MCCULLOUGH: There are less than
so0o voters in Montgomery County, and
there are 500 600 IN tina State. Upon that
bssis there would have TO be more than
sixty judges To do the work OF the State, 10

this bill for the sake of civil service reform,
