FRANKLIN county cases are hereafter
to be argued in the Supreme Court
when it meets at Philadelphia, not
when it sits at Harrisburg, and the
poor devil of a client can foot the
bills for the lawyers fees, The judges
have, in many cases, given lawyers the
hint that they prefer that all cases
should be argued in Philadelphia, and
the lawyers, seeing where the wind
lies, shape their course accordingly.
If there is a new constitution, born of
the present move for a convention, it
would not be surprising to find the
present Supreme Court dropped, and
a provision for a wholly new court.
There would be heaps of satisfaction
in this for the vast majority of the

any-that the delay in closing the

his friends who were interested in The

the Times stammers out that it is

the delay. But this retraction, as the
New York Tribune points out, will
merely amaze the Times readers-if
it has any. An abiect apology is due,

apologize to Ananias, Baron Nun.

put the one of these Senators which
shall develop the greatest strength at

turn out TO be impracticable the second
place will be accepted. 1t is stated
that every Southern Senator is pledged
to this programme, and that Senators
Brice, Voorhees, and several others are
