The Senate did simple act of justice yester-
day in passing the bill giving uniform salary
of 50, 900 to the United States District Judges.
Still this is only partial justice, for in city
like New-York $1,000 is inadequate to secure
the order of ability needed in the Federal Ju-
dietary. There is good prospect, however,
that supplementary to this bill special acts will
be PASSED raising the salaries of these Judges
in the larger cities TO point which will not
require so great sacrifice on the part of law
yers accepting such appointments.
