The Frankfort correspondent of the
/ Courier Journal, under date of Jan. 10
says:
! The Senate Committee on Judicial Re.
districting held another session this after.
noon. Before proceeding 10 business
! Chairman Gates commented upon the
importance of the undertaking with in.
terests represented in all sections of the
State directly involved, aud recommended
that it would be eminently proper to CO.
operate with the House Committee in
determining upon report. MIR. CARR
son is Chairman of the House Commit
tee, and he, with other members WAS con
suited, and he agreed that il was best To
work conformity. What arrangements
will be made to perfect this plan cannot
be stated. IL was concluded in general
way that the State should be- divided into
thirty judicial districts outside of Lou.
isville and Jefferson county, which are TO
be allowed four judges, Atpresent there
are nineteen judicial districts in Ken
lucky, with several additional aud spe-
cial courts, as, for instance, the Common
Pleas tribunal in Christian county.
The House Committee had already
called upon the Revisory Commission be.
fore the Senate Committee met. and Sc
cured all the Information that was to be
had from that source on the'division of
districts. But in the meeting that fol-
lowed, common use was made of the
facts, and they were variously but not
approvingly discussed.

OF all the committeeman not more than
two were even favorably inclined to the
Commissions diagram. In passing il
may be remarked that in this matter
there is an infinite variety Of interests,
political, judicial and personal, to be
served, and it is going to be the hardest
matter in the world TO draw the lines To
suit everybody, or even n very limited
per cent. Of everybody, 10 be effected one
way or another There are men here who
came to Frankfort mainly for the purpose
of taking a hand in the judicial redis-
tricting. They have their objects 10 at
tain, and these objects are, in many cases,
Numerically opposite. Clashes are in
evitable, and it will be long time before
things are finally Strengthened out
About the only agreement 50 far reached
is that there are 20 he thirty districts out
