THE JUDICIARY ACT.

The long delay and controversy that
has attended the various stages through
which the judiciary act has passed
since it was first presented TO the Gen
eral Assembly, nearly two years ago.
make 1t the imperative duty of this as
sembly to take some action upon the
measure at any early day.
The General Assembly appointed a
commission to revise the statutes. AS
a basis of the complete revision the
commission has presented a partial re-
vision relating to the judiciary system.
Upon this portion of the public statutes
the whole framework of the remaining
revision rests. Nothing further can be
done until some action is taken in re-
gard to hat portion of the laws now
pending.
IL is not of vital Importance that the
new bill should be passed, nor is ii of
Importance that it should be voted
down. But it is Of vital Importance
that either one action or the other should
be taken at nee.
The commission is anxious to con-
tinue and complete its work. It's term
of appointment expires on July 1st of
this year, and there is not even now
time enough for the General Assembly to
consider carefully all the other portions
of the statute of which revision has been
ordered. A partial review, as far at
east as is possible at present, has al
ready been made, but it cannot be COM
pleted until the present chapters are de-
cided.
The taxpayers have a right to COM
plain Of this continual expenditure of
money for the salaries of three commits
sioners and a clerk, aud particularly as
the work Of the commission has been
pushed as far as it can be and the sole
delay is caused by the dilatoriness of
the general assembly.

Our Annual
Opening
French Challi
An Incompatible Exhibition of Exclusive
Productions in this most exquisite
of Dress Fabrics.

The Development OF the Challis seems to. have reached
its highest possibility in this seasons manufacture. and our
selections represent the very cream of them all-designs and
effects OF great distinction confined to ourselves and abso-
lutely unlike the reproductions in cotton prints.
Nothing but a personal view of the display can achieve
an idea OF the marvellous variety of design.
Everything is comprehended, from the tiniest spotted
pattern, the small "deane" figures of our grandmothers, to
the splendid chintz effects Of latter-day popularity The pc
culiarly soft and exquisite Persians are a conspicuous feature.
Six warPs, silk stripes, satin stripes, basket weaves and
showing.
An early choice alone assures the securing of that indie
scrl6able something which makes one summe gown distin-
guished among the many.
