THE SUPREME COURT.
Proposition for an intermediate Court Of
Appellate Jurisdiction.

WASHINGTON, February Is. The sub
committee of the senate and house commit
tee on judiciary gave a hearing to the com
mittee of the American Bar association upon
bills intended to give relief to the supreme
court and to facilitate the administration of
Justice. Before the gentlemen of the com
mittee were heard, ]. Reginald Fendall, of
Washington asked the committee TO take
no action on the bills until the Bar asso-
citation of Washington should be heard upon
the subject so far as it related to cases origi-
mating in the District of Columbia.
The members ofthe committee all argued
in favor of the establishment of an inter
mediate appellate supreme court and the
inferior courts of the federal judiciary.
This was said to be in harmony with the

speaking countries and had been adopted

The division of the supreme court into see
tions to hear cases of various kinds would
not, it was argued, answer the demand. As

We choose you for our valentine
This means that THE STATESMAN brought
news from Washington this morning that
one John H. Hutchinson had been ap-
pointed postmaster at Taylor. The bomb
fell with dull thud, in the republican
camp, when they commenced running
around with their protests, and using
language which sounded little like Col
orado DAM" with stronger adjectives at
tached.
A public meeting assembled at the opera
house at p. m, and five-fourths of the Re-
publicans are telegraphing and writing
protests to Washington against the removal
OF the present incumbent, J. o. Frink, and
the appointment of this man Hutchinson,
who is not citizen of this place or this
county.
The Democrats are also taking a hand
with the Republicans in the matter. They
think here that DeGress and Cuney are
fathers to this job of putting out one of the
best postmasters in the state of Texas
none excepted.

beasts from further molesting them, II
