A SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY. Y.-Apropos
of the walking mania now SO prevalent
throughout the country, Mr.. Jonn Quill
makes the following offer: II will walk
with any good looking girl, who has a
fortune in her own right, upon any given
moonlight night, both parties to 60 as
slow as they please, and neither to hurry
back to the starting point. I will then,
on the word, walk into her affections, and

One of the most remarkable laws ever
passed by Legislature, is the recent
amendment made to our Civil Practice
Act, providing for the change of venue.
It is in these words: "When an affidavit
is made by any party to said action or
proceeding, or by his or her attorney,
that the party making the application,
and on whose behalf the affidavit is
made cannot have fair and impartial
trial in said action by reason of the bias
or pref judice of the Judge before whom
said action is then pending, such Judge
shall, and it is hereby made his duty to
Immediately order said action to be
transferred to some other county in said
Territory, outside of his Judicial Dis
trict, on payment of the costs that have
accrued in said cause in said Court up
to the time of making said application.
Year: 1867

BY this, it will be perceived that any
party, or the attorney of any party who
Will make oath that he cannot have a
fair and impartial trial by reason of the
bias or prejudice of the Judge, eau have
his cause transferred to another county.
There is no limit to the application, and
nothing in the law, requiring the person
making it, to set forth his reasons for
believing that the Judge is preiudiced
or biased, or upon which, the Judge him.
self can exercise the least discretion, as
to the propriety of the change. The
party or his attorney is thus enabled on
any pretense, which he may magnify
into prejudice or bias, to make the
required oath, and the change is per
emptory. 1T a Judge rules against a
party as to the law governing cause,
the party who by disagreement of the
jury or otherwise obtains new trial,
has only to swear that the Judge is
biased, aud his case must be Immediately
transferred. SO if party has no de
tense, i in default for dispositions. and
has had his cause continued, until all
the rules for further delay are exhaus-
ted, the fact that the Judge rules that
he must proceed 10 trial, affords a con-
venient cause for an affidavit, that the
Judge is biased, aud the cause, of neces-
sity, is transferred. Nor is this all. An
unscrupulous party or attorney, as is
unfortunately, sometimes the case, even
in this country, may follow his cause
through all the districts. and if he is
willing to take the required oath, pre-
vent it from coming to- an issue in any
of them. There is nothing in the law to
prevent him from doing so-nothing to
punish him tor so doing, if so disposed,
for it would be impossible to prove that
he had committed perjury. How many
people are there in Montana, who if they
had bad causes, would hesitate to take
this oath, on the smallest pretense, so
that delay or ultimate defeat could be
effected by it. The only reason that can


be given for this short-sighted act, is
that it originated in some cause quite as
ridiculous as the act itself Our Legis-
lators are now considering the Civil
Practice of California. with view of
adopting it for this Territory. We will
direct their attention to some decisions


under that act, by California Judges, on


the foregoing subject. In the case of the

! port, page 30, the court decides that


. Bias or Prejudice on the part of the


Judge constitute no legal incapacity to


sit on the trial of cause, nor is il suf-


fcient ground TO authorize change of


the place of trial" Again The fact


alone, that the Judge on previous tri-


al OF the same cause, made an erroneous


ruling, is no evidence of the existence of


bias or prejudice in his mind" We


would recommend to our Solons a care

The Legislature of Montana, con-
vened for the purpose of enacting laws
necessary to the good government of
Montana, and presenting to the general
the requirements of the
Territory, have in one instance, at least,
gone beyond the pale of legitimate leg
islation to do that which is neither war
ranted by the facts of the case or becom-
ing the dignity of men elected by the
people to their responsible positions

have the power. But they have gone
beyond this, did that which their posi-
tion as Legislators gives no more force TO
than as the act of private individuals;
assumed certain things false in them
selves. and upon those assumptions
passed resolution of non-effect, except
as an insult and a weakening OF author
ity. Certain expressions, not fitting to
stand upon the records as the language
OF digniSed assemblage of. Legislators;
expressions that they will blush here
after to own they gave the sanction of
official action, and an act that is taking
advantage of position and political unan-
unity to breathe poisonous defamation
against the character of officials who are
to expound the laws of Montana and
govern it's courts, because their political
status is displeasing. We refer to the
resolution passed at the last of the reg
ular session, asking Judges Hosmer and
Munson to resign, and giving the where
ases therefor. They brand with having
brought disgrace upon his honorable
office, Hez L. Hosmer, Chief Justice of
Montana, against whose character as a
gentleman, and as Judge of unspotted
integrity and honesty ofpurpose no man
can produce particle of evidence; with
"incompetency," one who would Ger
tainly not have been competent TO de-
scend 10 the use of such terms against
the author of that resolution, from his
position on the bench, but who. not inn
probably, could learn him the very ru-
diments of law. The Democratic party
cried out Outrageous against Repub~
licans because they claimed that the
President should be tried for misde-
meanors, but the Democratic Legislature
of Montana would damn a man with
eternal infamy and disgrace without
even hearing. Read this:


And further, that said H. L. Hosmer has
denied the right to change of venue, in vio-
lation of the laws of the Territory.


And, whereas, the said l.. K. Munson and III
L. Hosmer are incompetent and not Tn
worthy as Judges of the Supreme Court of e
Territory of Montana.


Therefore they are asked Immediately
to resign, that competent and able
Judges, whom the people respect, may
be chosen to fill their places" The first
charge is false and the second is founded
on it, yet it is sent forth as an act of the
Legislature to weaken their authority
as Judges and disgrace them as men. Ii
would be objectionable cowardice or
their part to tender their designations
under such imputations. 1t is stab in
the back of Justice, should they remain
cutting deep, deadly blows at the body
of the laws now enacting. We are glad
to know that the resolution met with
earnest opposition in the Legislature
and are assured that it is sdiscountenanced
by the legal fraternity of this city, ire
spectiVe of party. In all kindness, and
without any political feeling in the
matter, we urge the Legislature to blot
the foul calumny from the records.

are but few hands to whom so much
power can be safely entrusted, and if his
exercise of his Office does not please his
superiors, his continuance in Office would
be OF the briefest possible character He
is allowed upon his owp option to gill all
vacancies nd.appoint Trustees. To
make his Office an acceptable one to the
people 1T will be needed that tie repre-
sentatives of the people be identified
with the superintendent in this matter
and we presume there will be an effort in
the legislature at its next session to add
this feature to it. In addition to these
objections, the law as it works now is an
unnecessarily costly one. For the vari-
Gus officers necessary under the new
order, for some of which we cannot see
the least possible use, except to draw
their pay, the cost is probably three
times what it was under the old system,
and we cannot help thinking the old
arrangement did the work far better tnan
the new. Their interference with the
mode of furnishing books for the schools
is, it seems to us, worthy of the minds
that originated the entire law. Hereto
| fore, after various trials as to how this
question could be best harmonized, the
plan was finally agreed upon that the
books should be furnished free alike to
all, and paid for out of the money raised
by the people. This plan obviated the
sense of pauperism in the feelings of the
poor, while at the same time it furnished
their children with the books The new
law only allows the books to be thus fur
nishei 10 those who will confess them
selves too poor to buy them, confession
which however true it may be in fact,
but few of our people are inclined TO
make, and in consequence will keep their
children out of school. The law has
many good provisions aud' is perhaps
capable of being improved into a satisfac-
tory plan of working, but so far as it
develops itself to our perception, it is in.
ferior to the system which we had before,
and ought either to be so modified as to
distribute quite largely among the COM
munities the power which it centralizes
in Trenton, or else consigned, Booth-like,


to legislative grave under the flag
