A just Debt.

THE Commissioners believe that the rail-
road company justly owes the District the
amount found to be due by the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, and
that no legislative release of the same
should be made. The case Of the District
against this company to recover for work
done and materials furnished i'm paving
certain streets and avenues of the city of
Washington at various times during the
years 1871, 1872, 1873 1874 and 1875 was
twice examined by judicial tribunal The
amount claimed in the suit was S16l, i22 -
After full and impartial trial, as the rec
ord attests. the jury returned verdict for
s141, 505.05.
For the reason stated by the attorney for
the District to your committee, the several
propositions Of the railroad company for a
resubmission of the case TO the courts are
impracticable and would avail the District
nothing. The representatives of the District
government will agree to submit the ques-
tions involved I'm the case of the District
against the Metropolitan Railroad Company
to the arbitration of three disinterested per-
sons, to be named by the Court of Appeals
or to be selected in the usual way, with the
understanding that said arbitrator are to
hea- and determine the claim on its merits
irrespective of the decisions of the courts.
Alternative Proposition.
IF the railroad company will not agree to
submit to arbitration, then there should be
appended to the proposed legislation, as
represented by the pending bill, a section
requiring the railroad company TO pay the
judgment that was rendered by the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, with costs
and interest on said amount from the ia tie
said judgment was rendered until paid and
that If said company shall fail within a
specified time to pay said amount, costs and
interest, the charter of said company shall
be repealed, and all its rights, privileges and
franchises as body corporate cease and
determine.
The following suggestion for section is
respectfully submitted to the consid
| of the committee:

THE SHERIFF. EXPLAINS.
Refutes the "Unadulterated
Lies" of the journal p
Facts and Figures.

Sheriff TofPey was not in a pleasant frame
of mind today when l entered his Office. He
had just finished reading the unwarranted
attack made on him by the Euening Journal
of yesterday and had found the article so
full of untruth that he could not help feel
ing indignant. In brief the publication IN
the unreliable Journal charged that Sheriff
Toffey would make SOS, 900 a year out of the
County Jail, when as an actual fact he can
not clear more than S5,00O.
A curious feature i'll this attack OF the
Journal is that it never complained ABOUT
the $50, 900 a year Bob Davis made while
taller. The Journal never does lind fault
with useful people.
UNADULTERATED LIE. .
In the conversation | had with the Sherln
he said that the assertion that he had secured
the favor of the Committee OF Freeholders
IN Jails was a lie, pure and unadulterated
He never spoke to a Freebooter about the
matter at any time, except when on one oc-
casion he told Freebooter John Halladay
that he would like to receive thirty Genus a
day, as Davis had received, for an expert
ment, in order to ascertain just how cheaply
the Jail could be run. Freebooter Haliaday
is not on the committee that has charge OF
the Jail.
Sheriff Toffey said that he believed he
should receive at least So, 900 a year for his
services and the responsibility, but more
than that he did not want.
He laughed at the statement in the Journal
tina the number of prisoners in the County
Jail averaged 2S5 a day, and said the great
est number that had been there since he
took possession was $50, and that the aver
age was 10 prisoners. There were fewer
prisoners in the institution now than during
the time of Davis.
rHE FACTS.
"The highest possible amount that | can
figure on as my profit" said the Sheriff, is
a trihe more than $1,000 a year if | am al
lowed thirty cents a day for each prisoner.
[ can feed these prisoners at an actual ex-
pense to myself of twelve cents a day, but
the cost of food is not the only thing TO be
considered.
"My pay roll alone is So $50 for the year
for l have eight employees in the Jail, double
the number employed heretofore. The ac-
tual cost at twelve cents a person to feed the
prisoners, if they averaged 40, would be
$1,000, which added to the salary account
would make a total of Sl3,550. The total
amount / would receive at thirty cents a day
would be $18.6f5. or a profit at the end of
the year of S. 1865. Ont of that sum must be
deducted many small things that are bound
to create expense.
As 1 said before, if l can clear $4,000 a
year from the jail | viii be well pleased"

Senator Smith of Essex.

The Philadelphia Press INDUCED in
a TRADE against Senator Smith yes
terday because hesdid not show equal
defiance of honor With Hill in ham
pering the progress of tariff legisla-
ton. The Pess evidently does not
know Senator Smith very we'll. The
Senator is foxy rather than bold, and
it is very far from his plan to keep up
a fight in whose early stages he has
been badly hurt.
The Press thinks that his recent
silence regarding the income tax has
lowered him in public estimation
by which, of course, it means Re-
publican estimation-as much as his
onslaught OIL that feature of the Will
son bill exalted him. Of course the
Press was willing to beslobber Smith
with praise-just as it now does David
B. Hill O-so long as he fought the
battle of McKinleyism. 1t did not
matter whether he fought from am
bush or the open, if h. was willing to
stultify his party, to render ilnpossi-
bic the fulfilmen5 of its pledges, his
aid was welcome to the Press and it
was willing to pay for that aid with
torrents of fulsome adulation.
Now Smith, as HarDey's Weekly re-
Gently remarked, is. in his own soul,
absolutely in accord with, Mckinley
as a high protectionist, He is about
as well pleased to see the tariff on
most articles reduced, as he was to
see his personal ring smashed by the
people in Newark last November.
But even beyond his opinions, his
prejudices, his affiliations even his
interests as a capitalist, towers his
personal ambition. He is a young
man, for a United States Senator, and
he not ready to die just yet, politi-
cally or any other way, and he is far
too shrewd not to forsee the ultimate
fate of all who may be clearly con-
victed of hampering the Democratic
party in the great work of reform
which it was placed in power to &C
complish. He was perfectly willing
to fight from behind the income tax
mark. He had a foolish confidence in
its texture which the comments on
his famous speech rndely dispelled.
That effort ioo Dr. his life he very
promptly reaiizet to SBe The error of
his life as welt; and he mas spent his
time ever since in privately kicking
himself for maxim 81 such 4 break, and
in raising such gentle aust as he may
to obscure the public memory liof the
position he SO rashiS assumed.
But, like all gentlemen who try to
ride two horsesin the great national
circus, he is having a pretty bad time
of it. The Press, speaking for the
protectionist element. 5impronounces
him ..limber-backed and weak
kneed,n "vacillating. trimming and
shuf1ing,r and apparently lacking
principle, character and courage"
So far, there has been no wild rush OF

The Judiciary Reform Commission

The Judiciary Reform Commission.
1t may take a great deal of legal
talent to fix up the details of the
needed amendments to the State Con-
stitution remodelling the judiciary
system of the State, but it takes just
a very small amount of common sense
and knowledge of business to decide
on the main results TO be accom-
plished. These are about five in num-
Der. and we believe they may be
stated as follows:- y
1. The total abolition of layjudges.
2. The total abolition of fees and
the substitution of fixed salaries for
judges and court officers of all
grades.
8. The establishment of an indie
pendent appellate court of last resort
to consist of not more than five mem
bers. @|i+i
4 The abolition of the present ex-
pensive civil court system in cities
and the substitution in large counties
of a court for small causes with q
single judge.
5. The abolition of the justices of
the peace in cities having more than
one police magistrate and their reduc-
ton to a very small number-say one
or two-in cities where their presence
is needed in case of the absence or
disability of the regular recorder or
justice.
1t does not very much matter
whether the judges are elective or
appointive. We will get very good
men either way. They should have
long terms. good pay and total ex-
emption from legislative interference
except by regular process Of impeach-
ment. = r~slaa-a
Many lawyers complain of our
Court of Chancery as a relic of by
gone days. They would like to have
the New York system, wherein every
Supreme Court judge and many
judges in ether courts have jurisdic-
ton in equity. 1t is to be hoped no
change of this sort will be attempted.
Our Court of Chancery is not only O.
venerable but a highly efficient tri-
bunal, and the New York plan has
produced pretty nearly as much harm
as good.
