WASHINGTON, D. C.,March, 12, 1881. .

friends and boring, heads of departments for
places,,,th‘au at any former change ofad-
ministfatidn 'within your' correspondent’s
thirty-three year's personal observation here.
President .Garfield most wisely ,gave it out
at' the beginning that he should remove no
good and faithful Ofileial, simply to make a
place for home one else who chanced to de-
sire the' office. This determination has no
‘ doubt saved him much vexatious importuni-
ty.’ 0n the other hand, it is well understood
that both he and his Cabinet are so sincere
and common-sense Civil Service Reformers.
that they prefer an entirely competent and
worthy Republican, to an equally competent
democrat, to aid :in the gfilcial conduct of
the administration. Moreover, this adminis-
tration is behaved to be satisfied with hav-
ing life tenures of office. limited to the
judiciary. which by common consent of all
good men, cannot be too far removed from
partisan influences“ Congressmen will con-
tinue to be chosen-for two years, Presidents
for four years and Senators for six years,
without any effort. on the part of this admin-
istration to extend or perpetuate an other:-
holding aristocracy. Every free, independ-
ent and truly good American citizen, will be
deemed just as good as any other man, and
just as much entitled to hold an ofiice, as a
matter of personal right, as any other man.
Ability ;and integrity will undoubtedly be
the inexorable prerequisite, and non-hostility
to republican rinciples, an important-
secondary, quail cation, in those appointed
to cflce under General Garfield and his
Cabinet Ministers. In this latter particular
it is believed the present administration will
differ quite materially from the one just
ended. In other words General Garfield’s
administration will not be charged with pro-
nouncing the phrase with that .hypocritical,‘
canting, nasal twang, which gives it the
sound of SnicelService Reform.
Of the great numbers who press for audi-
ence at the White House and Executive De-
partments, it is due to truth to say that the
vast majority seek only to pay their unselfish
homage to those newly raised to the civil
government of the nation. Rarely if ever
has there been so large a number of this
class of strangers, seen pressing for admis-
sion, and the opportunity to express their
gratification and extend their congratula—
tions, and never were so many strangers
known to tarry so long after -the Inaugura- _
tion pageantry was concluded. ‘ .
Another peculiar fact is revealed in the
present pressure for ofilce, hat a large num-
her, if not a majority, _of ti Ole most impor-
tuuately clamoring for an ofilce, . are ex—
members of congress. It is is nusing to note
the humble, subservent air, now put. on by
many who have been not in for a proud
hautier and severe dignity and reserve, when
a home constitutent chanced to apply for
their aid in the procurement of a tide-waiter’s
place in his “deestrict,” or a clerkship here.
Truly, what a difference it does make whose
ox is getting gored. Scores upon. scores of
ex-congressmcn, who {erst were wont to
swell with the pride of position, thrust upon
them by a too ccnfiding constituency are to
be seen daily cooling their heels about . the
corridors of the Executive Mansion, hat in
hand ready to accept almost any gift from
the President's hand, which carries with it,
the opportunity of signing a pay-loll at the
end of every month.
. THE SENATE.
The Senate has promptly confirmed the
more important of General Garfield’s nomi-
nations. His cabinet, Representative Mor:
ton for the French Mission; Wm. Faxon as
Postmaster at Hartford, and N. D. Sperry,
Postmaster for four years more at New
Haven. While here with Gov. Bigelow’s
party, Mr. Sperry was invited to accept one
of the Assistant Postmaster General’s posi-
tions, but he very respectfully declined the
proffered honor, preferring to unite the
administrations of Lincoln and Garfield by
twenty years ofcontinuous service as Post»
\ master at New Haven. It will rejoice many
earnest Republicans in Connecticut to know
that General Hawley joined very” cordially
in commending Mr. Sperry for the Assistant
Postmaster Generalship.
The exact business for which the Senate
was convened in extra session, might haVe
been completed in a few days,'had not the
question of partizan place and patronage
intervened. Because of this the usually
dignified Senate is converted into a political
battle ground. Owing to the four vacancies
on the'rep‘ublican side, the party is tempo-
rarily disabled, and even with the votes of
both the ' independents. could not cope with
the democrats. The republicans insist that
steps towards organization shall be deferred
until their ranks are filled up; the democrats
maintain that it is folly to waste time in
waiting for four Senators, whose absence
cannot interfere with the progress of .busi-
ness. There is an apparent acquiescence
that the new administration ought not to ,be
embarrassed or annoyed at the threshhold of
its existence by combatting its choice of the
men who shall administer the various de.
partments and divisions of government.
Hence the questionin dispute is which party
shall possess the offices of the Senate. So,
far as has yet been. discovered, Mr. Mahone
holds the balance-of power between the two
parties. He was invited into both caucuses,
but respectfully declined to reveal his pur—
poses by entering either. The present
status of the Senate enabled the democrats
to organize, but when the four republicans
, arrive next week to fill the vacancies, the
organization could and would be overthrown
should Gen. Mahoneaassist the republicans.
A-inrited but entirely good tempered de—
bate was carried ongtill half-past two yester-
day when, by mutual agreement an execu-
tive session was held followed by an adjourn-
ment . over to Monday. It is believed the
four. republican vacancies will be filled by
Wednesday next, and that our friends will
resist air-attempts to organize the Senate on
the proposed democratic basis. The few
democratic Senators who have no stomach
for this undignified squabble for political ad-
vantage, do not hesitate to express their be-
lief that their party friends will be surely
defeated in the end. To this class Of Sena.
tors their party’s defeat in its attacks upon
the Army ; the Election Law; the Resump-'
tion Act. and the: National Banks, ought to
sufiice, without inviting further mortification
in that direction. But Senator Eaton in his
blunt i'way explains. it all. . He says his
"party leaders do act so like asses.”
. THE BANKS. » ,
At the Cabinet 'meeting yesterday it was
decided that under thei-law and rulings of
the Treasury those National Banks, which in
amomsntpf'panic'sent in legal tenders for
a withdrawal of their circulations, cannot
now have them returned' since returning
reason has induced them to attempt a back
out of their folly. Several banks, however,
do not come under. the adverse ruling, and
among them the Thames National Bank of
Norwich, which had asked for a half million
reduction. This action was taken under the
ruling of the department, which has been
in force since the passage of the act of 1874,
and which allows any bank to withdraw the
legal tenders deposited to retire circulation-
when the bonds have not been withdrawn,
and the deposit of' legal tenders has not been
impaired by the redemption of.any‘ part of
Ndrwalk Gazette.

Secretary of War. Secretary Lincoln rc-
sponded in a "short speech of thanks. ~He
conferred upon him, and would endeavor to
so 1111 his position as to disappoint no one.
Col. Robert Ingcrsoll, who was present,
responded. He congratulated the Secretary
and the country that a son Of- Abraham
Lincoln had been elevated to a position of
such high trust. Abraham Lincoln was in
all essentials the greatest man AmeriCahad
ever produced, and the greatest and grandest
man of the age. He had held more hearts
in the hollow of his hand than any other
of the world’s great philanthropists and
deliverers. and his son was canopied by the
most sacred recollections. He could not fail
to bc'otberwise than worthy of his lineage
and the grand page in history which had
country felt his selection to fill a. Cabinet
position was wise, and that no position,
however elevated, could be too high for the
worthy son of so eminent a patriot.
r. hr. GEN. Jams.
The New York Republican association gave
a serenade to Postmaster General Thomas L.
James, Thursday night, for which the full
Marine Band. was employed. Mr. James,
after thanking his friends for the greeting,
said: “I accept your welcome, not as a com-
pliment to myself alone; but to the stalwart
Republicans of New York. who, under the
leadership of Roscoe Conkling, won such a
glorious victory in the last campsign, and
with whom I am proud to sayII have always
acted." Addresses were also made by Hon.
Stewart L. Woodford and others. P. M.
Gen. James vacated his position as postmas-
ter at‘ New York city on March 6, and
became Postmaster General on the morning
of the 7th inst. Hisaccounts as postmaster
at New York were rendered to Sixth Auditor
McGrew on the morning of ‘the 8th. They,
were at once audited, adjusted and settled,
and found to be correct to a cent, and his
stlreties notified that their responsibility
had ceased. This prompt settlement of the
accounts of an office—the receipts of which
revenue of the government-fie unprecedented
in the history of the department.
The President, yesterday, sent in'the name
of Mr. J ames’s son-in-law, Henry G. Pearson
Woodford is our. authority for saying that
Mr. Pearson is the very best postmasterthat
Gen. Garfield could have selected for 'the
great Empire city, and that -it is no dispar-
agement- to P. M. Gen. James to say that the
exceptional reputation of the New York
office is as largely due to Mr. Pearson as to
the former. ‘ ~ .
. STATE DEPARTMENT.
Secretary'Blaine is already after the lying.
British Consuls who are in league with pork
speculators in decrying American pork
abroad. Mr. Blaine has as acknowledged a
talent for diplomacy as for about everything
else, and rarely,gces out to hunt that he does
not return witli his game. .
CONNECTICUT.
Gov. Bigelow and staff, Lieut-Gov. Bulke-
ley, ex-Congressman Kellogg and others were
received by Pres. Garfielddate Saturday p.
m. having failed of keeping their appoint-
ment to meet him at 10 a. in. Sunday even-
ing they called, by invitation. upon Sec. of
State, Blaine, and at 10 p. in. left in their
Pullman for Connecticut, At the depot the
distinguished party were enthusiastic in
their praises of Senators Platt and Eaton and
Representatives Miles and Wait for their
courteous attentions during their week’s
sojourn here. '
The Connecticut “Senators and Represent-
atives” disclaim having taken any such action
as to appointments as was reported in the
Tribune.
CONsis'rENT.
Senator Vest, of Missouri, has written
home a letter strongly opposing prohibitory
liquor laws, and saying no democratic leg-
islature has ever passed one and no demo-
cratic state now has one, and might have
added. no democratic parly can thrive under
one.
EXTRA SESSION. .
There is great diversity of opinion among
well-informed Congressmen as to the proba-
bilities of an extra session,.though the pre-
ponderance is decidedly that‘there willbe
none.
PERSONAL.
Anent the pet criticism of Senator Eaton
that his party “did act like . asses,” recalls an
incident of the vote taken upon the electoral
commission bill in the Senate. Senator Eaton
was the only democrat who was against it,
and his vote was prefaced by the remark that
“firmly believing the act tO-be unconstitu-
tional he should vote No.” At this,_-sncers
and litters of dcrisive laughter moved many
of his democratic associates, and his col-
league, Barnum, promptly remarked that
“theicomtitutz'on would be the death of
Eaton yet.” Senator Eaton hearing the
remark, as promptly retortcd, “Well, I’ll
swear the constitution will never hurt Sen -
atOr Barnum.” Senator Eaton lived to see
those who jeered at his vote on theaelectoral
commission bill laugh at the other side of the
mouth.

_ _ PERSONALS. »
The feeling is. freely expressed that the
administration and the party are under very
great obligations to ex-Gov’. Jewell, and that
this will sooner or later be recognized by the
President, but rumor has it that Gov. Jewell
has very decidedly said that 'he desired no
appointment.

tion thi's p. m. She. was assisted by the

The presence of General Hancock at the
inauguration of his opponent, in the late
election, recalls the fact that Stephen A.

Lincoln in 1860, stood by the latter and held

One ’more Unfdrtuh‘ate.
An infirm old :man named Isaac Powers,
who lived near the track at Springwood. was
struck by the engine of the express train due
at the depot at 9,28 on Wednesday last, and
instantly killed. He had been down the
track gathering light wood, and was return-
cver 80 years of'age, and persisted in walk-
ing upon the track against the-remonstrances
of his friends. A jury was impaneled by
Justice Alfred E. Austin, and a verdict of
accidental death was rendered.
m
Fun: —A lace curtain in Mme. Bennett’s
sitting-room, at the Charles Isaacs’ home-
stead, Wall street, caught fire on Saturday
evening, at about 6 o’clock, from a lamp
standing near, and made quite a bla2e for a
few moments. Some passers by rushed in
and put it out without much damage having
been done. ' An alarm was promptly sound-
cd by our vigilant day fpoliceman, {the only
policeman then'on duty. .

On Tuesday last, Burgess Frederick Mead
obtained from Judge Sanford a temporary in.
junction restraining builder Platt from do-
ing any further work upon the barn which
he ,was erecting for Dr. Hitchcock. The
barn is located at the end of the doctor’s lot,
but as the lots on Divinity street are small,
the structure comes. unpleasantly near Mr.
Mead’s new 'housc,:'and"shuts' out the light
and his view of West avenue. As itinvolves
a man’s rightto erect a barn upon his own
premises, under such circumstances, the case
is a novel one and will be watched with great
interest. N 0 time has yet been assigned for
the hearing.

from a military review. As he neared home
an “Orsini bomb" was thrown stand explod-'
ed under [the back end of the carriage,
wrecking the vehicle though not injuring
the Czar, butas he stepped out on to the
ground another was thrown which exploded
at his feet shattered both of his legs and
killed several of his attendants. The Czar
was immediately taken into the Winter

The New Bridges.
The committee having the ccnfilruction of
the new bridges in charge. have awarded
the contract for the iron . bridge at Brady’s
crossing to the Corrugated Metal Company
of East Berlin, Conn, It is to be a wranght
iron truss bridge of the W. 0. Dodging pa-
tent, of seven panels, 81 feet span, 18 feet
wide in the clear, and warranted to sustain a
weight equal to 90 lbs. to the square inch.
The roadbed will be of plank, as a matter of
course. When completed the committee
believe the town will have a bridge as sub-
stantial and handsome as any in the State.
The cost will be about $1,700. The commit-
tee contemplate raising the abutments some-
what higher than before.
The bids for the stOne bridge on the New
Canaan road are to be opened on Friday next.

A petition to the Selectmen is being signed
by the people of the Broad River and Silver
Mine districts asking for the immediate con-
structionof a temporary foot bridge over the
river at the New Canaan Crossing. They
represent that this can be done at very little
cost, and will be a great convenience to the
public at large. The request is certainly a
very reasonable. one, and in our opinion
should be granted, and the crossing fixed at
once. It is too bad to force foot passengers to
go either to Winnipauk or to the Bridge in
order to cross the river. The present state
of Riverside avenue is also very bad, increas-
ing the difilculties of the situation. We are
toldtbat' that road is so bad that teams from
New Canaan go over Spring Hill in prefer-
ence to that road. As the Broad River bridge
is in the hands of the Selectmen we presume
the repairs will be made without further de-
delay. The faster the work is pushed the
better pleased the people will be.

German Service.
The monthly vesper Service with acermon
in the German language, will be held in
Trinity church, South Norwalk, on Sunday
next, the 20th inst, at three o’clock in the
afernoon.

The Bridgeport papers have settled it to
their own satisfaction that the County Fair
is to be removed from Norwalk to that city, ‘
and we suppose the change is as good as
accomplished. But what in the world will
the Agricultural Society do for patronage in
that city, where the people never get above
“Ghost” shows? -
The Last Choral Service.
Next Sunday afternoon, at 4 o’clock, Rev.
R. B. Hoyt will hold the last of a series of
choral services commenced by him several
months since in the Selleck School chapel.
Next Sunday the singing by his choristers
will be more interesting than usual. These
services, originally_intended for the scholars
“that school, have been largely attended by
the towns-people, the chapel being crowded
at the last one. In- consequence obRev. Mr.
Hoyt’s term as assistant of St. Paul’s expir-
ing in April this service will be the last one.
The scholars as well as many others will
miss these pleasant services.
Church Plc-Nic.~
The first of. the proposed "pic-hie" socla-'
bloc of the Congregational Society is to be
held at the residence of Wm. S. Lockwood,
Esq., on Friday next. The ladies are ex-
pected at3 o’clock p. m., and gentlemen
from 6:30 to 7 o’clock when tea will be served.
Ofi for Nassau.
On Tuesday last a party comprising Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas H. Morrison and son
Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Earle and two
sons, Mrs. Theodore Sllefiield, and Master
Hutchinson, started on a trip to the Baha-
mas. Theywent overland :to Fernandina,
Florida, where they take the steamer for
Nassau. At last . accounts they were at At-
lanta, Georgia, where they arrived safely.
The party will have the benefit of ex-warden
Morison’s former experiences in Nassau and
his familiarity with the city and its surround-
ings‘.

Some of the water pipbs which ware froz - '
en up some six weeks or more ago, have not
thawed out yet. We know of ' cases where
parties have hired plumbers to clear their
pipes way to the curb stone, sixty or seventy
feet, without being able to get a drop of wa-
ter. The question now comes up whether
consumers have the right to dig up the
streets, under gas pipes and the horse rail—
way at pleasure, or if it is not the duty of the
Water Commissioners to do something in
such extreme cases, that will render it possi-~
ble for consumers to obtain what the com—
missioners invariably require full pay for?
m
On Sunday afternoon, about 4 o'cock, an
iron moulder from New York, who has been
working in town, was found on the streets
in a drunken frenzy with a stone in his band
which he was threatening to throw at people.
Ofiicer DeForest promptly arrested him and
attempted totake him to the lock-up. The-
fellow declined to go quietly. and resisted so
desperately that it was finally found 1180851
sary to call upon citizens for help. He was
eventually secured, and yesterday Justice
Mead sent him to Bridgeport. He may
thank his stars that Ofiiccr DeForest did not
crack his skull open with his club.

The venerable Mrs. Mary Gray died at the
residence of Mrs. Wm. St. John, Main street,
on Sunday last, having reached the good old
age cf 90 years. She was the widow of
Samuel Gray, and formerly kept a boarding
house on Main' street, nearly opposite the
Conn. Hotel. She was familiarly and favor-
ably known tc old residents of the town.
‘ Mr. Bennot Bassett, aged 80 years, died at
his home on West Avenue, last Sunday. He
was formerly from Danbury, and his remains
will be taken there to-day for interment.

- The Run Steamers. ’
The first of the steamers for the Iron
Steamship company has been launched by
John Roach at Chester, Pa. It is all iron, is
fireproof, is made insixtecn compartments
so that it cannot sink, and it will carry 2,000
persons. It is-named the Cetus. It will be
ready for 'service in May and willbe follow-
ed by six others in J une. These boots will be
anxiously watched by steamboat men and by
the public, for if they prove successful they
will inaugurate a new era in steamboat
building, and eventually put an end'to the
construction of wooden steamers. Norwalk
people are specially interested in the new
boats, for it is believed that if they prove
successful, Commodore White will place it
similar one upon this route. ' ‘

A . Complimentary Sums-loo.
At the Sunday School monthly Concert of
the First Congregational Church, lsstfiundsy
evening, the pmtor, came, in before com-
mencing his monthly service at the ..Misqlon
Church, and asked the privilege .of laying a
few words. " " .
' After brief, general remarkaho sddreue
personally the energetic superintendent, Mr.
Alexander S..G ibson, and Miss Charlotte E.
Raymond who, so successfully and for so
many years, has presided over and instructed
the primary department. He first spoke of
the great importance and responsibility of
their several positions; and then of their
difficulties and possible discouragements;
among the latter might be,—if they were
not less human and more‘ saintly than 'most
Christiane—an occasional apprehension of a
Jack, at times, of fullest confidence and
appreciation in the work on the part of those
for whom they so anxiously and studiously
planned and toiled.
To relieve their minds of this mood of
uncertainty,-—if it‘evel‘ came over them,—
was now his pleasant privilege; and then he
produced four large octavo volumes, in large
type and appropriate binding, constituting
two twin settsof Farrar’s Life and Work of
2 St. Paul, and read to them this inscription'
placed in each sett:
“To Mr.—-—-—— (or)
Miss ———-—— as a small token of gratitude
'and love from‘the Sunday School of the
First Congregational Church, Norwalk, Ct.,
by a cordial contribution, gathered by a
scholar, purposely limited to ‘littles,’ that it
might be'general."-
In closing his very pertinent address. Mr.
Hamilton expressed the. hope that each
might derive inspiration and help from “The
Life and work of St. Paul” in their lives and
work; and that at the last they might be
able to say with him, “I have fought a good
fight; I have finished rfiy course, I have
kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up
for me a crown of righteousness which the
Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at
that day; and not to me only, but unto all
them also that love His appearing.”—-2d Tim-
othy, iv, 7 and 8.,
Mr. Gibson responded for himself and
for Miss Raymond in a few words, necessa—
rily unpremeditated,expressive of their entire
surprise, yet none the less of their grateful
reception of .so valuable it present—the more
valuable as such an assurance of appreciation
and encouragement in labor as their pastor
had set forth. .
Rev. S. B. S. Biasell addressed the meeting
before its close. .
M
It was very evident from the reports in our
last issue of the doings of Gov. Bigelow and
his party at Washington, that they must
thoroughly have enjoyed their visit. They
were everywhere cordially received, and
every possible honor shown them—with one
exception. Senator Hawley ignored their
presence. They arrived on Thursday, and
while Senator Platt, ex-Sehator Eaton, the
congressmen from this State, and hosts of
men Connecticut born hastened to pay their
respects, Senator Hawley alone held aloof.
On Sunday evening, however, as the party
were preparing to return.the Senator appeared
at their hotel and asking for the Governor,
failed to obtain an interview. The Senator
excused himself on the grounds that he had
been very busy. No other explanation
of his strange conduct has been given. The
Governor evidently felt that, representing
the state ofiicially, the party embracing
nearly all the State officers, an indignity had
been offered not only to the members 'of the
party but to the State of Connecticut, and he
was certainly justified in declining to, see
even such an honored son of the State
as Senator Hawley at the last moment.
The statement ina democratic state paper,
that Senator Hawley had arranged an inter-
view with the President at 11 a. m. Satur-
day, and the President declined to see them
when they called, was not true, Senator
Hawley made no arrangements for them
whatever. They called at the White House,
at that time, it is true, and were not receiv-
ed, simply because the time limited had ex-
pired. A private interview was arranged,
however, for the afternoon, when the party
was most cordially welcomed.
At the regular meeting of Co. F the fol—
lowing members were appointed acommittee
to make arrangements for an annual Ball:
Lieut. Smith,Sergeants Raymond and Frisby,
Corporals Jackson and Bennett. It is pro-
posed to give a Ball between May 1st and 4th
—that being the anniversary of the formation
of the company, and it is proposed to make
it first-class in every particular.
m
Entertainments.
This evening, at Music Hall, Sol Smith
Russell appears as Tom Dilloway, in the
new American comedy of “Edgewood
Folks,” under the management of F. M.
Knapp, who deserves thanks for adding this
entemainment to the excellent series he has
given this season. "Sol" is well known
everywhere as one of the best of deli-
neators of comical characters and an actor
who can keep an audience in roars of laugh—
ter without “bringing a blush to the checks
of the young person ” by descending to vul-
garities. He is supported by a company
specially selected for this play. See adv.
and the numerous and elegantly illuminated
posters.
BAND CONCERT.
On Wednesday evening, at the Opera
House the Union Band will. give their first
public concert. The Band consists of twen-
ty members, and after long practice have
reached that point where they feel justified
in giving a concert in order to show their
proficiency,and to interest the public in their
welfare. The public should not make the
mistake of supposing the entertainment to
be entirely of Band music,for the programme
will be avaried one, the full band playing
only four selections. Two overtures will be
given by an' orchestra of eight pieces; Mrs.
Clarence Swan, ncc' Fannie Byxbee, will
sing; Mr. Gibson will perform a solo, and a
duett with Miss J . K. Nash; Prof. Fred.
Guilford will give two flute solos, and there
will be a xylophone solo by S. Coles—cer-
tainly a very pleasing variety. The price of
admission is very reasonable, and we trust
our people will show their desire to encour-
age home talent by filling every seat in the
Opera House. _.
STEREOPTICON. .
At the First Baptist church. next Friday
evening, Prof. Turner .of Boston, will give
an exhibition for the benefit of the Sabbath
school. The programme embraces views Of

Steward Ackert is making thorough and

vastly improving it. He has the hotel
building already enlarged,with bowling alleys
and shooting galleries nearly completed.
He also has a contract made for a large and
new pavilion on the point beyond the grove,
40 new bath houses on the west beach and
sheds for 200 horses down in the meadow,
and is about completing arrhngements for
a dock at Pine Point. Best of all, he is
negotiating for a fine carryall to run regu-
larly at slow figure from the South Norwalk
Depot to the Point, several times a day.
He is also cleaning and trimmingup the
grove and otherwise beautifying it so that it "
is safe to say, that Roton Point this season
will be far more attractive and pleasant as
a summer resort than ever before, and as a
matter of course will be the place for our
people and our country cousins to hold their
pic-nics. '
m
Emouaaemo.———The last great interna-
tional walking match turned out-out a farce,
and was poor]; patronized. It is now evi-
dent thst the back bone of the walking fever
has been broken, and we may reasonably
hope for a change. and for the better.
tionable manner.
r
Reform Needed.
There is at least one rule now in force in our
Superior Court practices‘that we think calls
for urgent and prompt refOrm; we refer to
one that makes it incumbent on the difierent
Attorneys when preparing their printed
cases to have them furnished by the Cler
of the Court. . '
Now, we contend, that ’our judges who
are chosen for their ability and upright-
ness, ought to by every legitimate moans,
lessen the expenses as‘far as possible of all
suits, whereas the effect of this rule is to add
largely to the expense Of all poor unfortu-
nates who seek relief through our courts of
law. Possibly this rule is intended to eke
out the salary of the clerk by allowing him
to make a handsome per-contage out of the
matter, if that is so, it ought not to be, for
if the salary already allowed by the State is
too small it ought to be raised by legislative
enactment, and not made up» in this ques-
Or, if it is intended to
make the going to law odious to - the people,
then it is all right to pile on all the expenses
possible without regard to justice or right.
As it is now, there being no possible chance"
for competition a big price seems to be the
rule, not the exception.
Our attention was directed to this matter
by seeing a printed case in one .of our law-
yer’s ofilces for which the parties in interest
had paid $125 and which any job printer
in the State would have been glad to have
it for less than that. Now we submit that
this is a downright extortion and ought not to
be allowed. '
Again the rule requiring the clerk to
furnish them is unfair and unjust as it dis-
criminates and works against all printers
outside of our court towns. If parties here
have a case before the court, they ought to
have the. right to have their case printed
here at home, where they or their lawyers
could overlook it and see proofs of it them.
selves, and it is work fairly due to the print-
ers of the place, but this rule takes it away
from them to aid and help enrich printers in
shire towns. The court might just. as well
rule, and it would in- our opinion be just as
consistent, and full as much justice, that no
case should be brought before it only as it
came through the hands of a lawyer residing
in the shire town.
It may perhaps be claimed that they think
they will be less liable to errors if printed
under the supervision of the clerk, but that
‘ claim will hardly hold, for names, especially,
in different localities vary and often confuse,
and in the one we glanced at, there were
several errors in names, as for instance our
town clerk’s name appeared signed to a num-
ber of documents, and in many of them it
printed simply Henry Selleck the middle
initial of K, being:omitted, showing plainly
carelessness if not ignorance on the part of
the proof reader, as in some cases it was in-
serted correctly. '
Therefore, we repeat ‘we cannot see any'
good reason for this arbitrary, rule which
tends to work injustice to the country press.
