fertor courts as Congrefs may from time to time, or
dain apd tllablifb. Bv this claufe Congrefs may
from time to rime eftab'ifrl inferior courts but it i
dearly a difcretioosl power and they may eftabltlli
them. The language of the ConQitution is very dif
ferent when legu'iitions are not left difcretional.
For example The tiial, fay the Coollitution, of
all crimes, (-xcept in ccftsof i.T.peachmedi) mail beV
by jury : Reprefciuatives and dirrcl taxes ihall
be applied according to numbers. All revenue
bills (hill originate in the Houfe of Reprefcn
latives, &c." It would theiefore in my view
be a pnverfion not only of Iinguge, but of
i.-telltft, to fay that altho 'Congrefs may front lime
to lime c ?blif1 infci'ior courts, yet when ejlabliihed,
that they fhall not beabolimera lufequcnt Congitfa
polTfirug equal powers. It wduld be a paradox in
legiflstion. 1 . '
2d. As to the Judges The Judiciary-department
is focoudr r.fled as to be fuffirieotly feu red againft
the inptoper ir.fljcnceof either the executive or 1c
gifljtive dcpirtm.-nts. The courts are orgaoited and
ellabliihed by the legrHi'urc, and the executive cre
ates the judge Being thut organifed, the conflSu
tiun affords the. proper check to fecure their honcf
4y and independence in office. It declares they Ibsll
'not be removed from office during good behaviour i
r.or their falaries diminifhed during their continu
ance in tffice. From this it re.ults that t Judge, af.
ter hts apooiatment, i to ally out cf the power of
the Piefntent, and hia lalary fecured againlt legiflativo
diminution,, daring hi continuance in office.
The fird of thcf checks which proieft a judge in hi
"othie during "good" behaviow, appltc to ' the -Prcfi-dent
only, who would otherwifa have pufUfTcd the
power of lemiyinj hi m l.keall other orTjcer. at plea-..

the '.abflauce, to wit. the oRkc, is removed ? It mull
have luunrted all ihefe ablurd lies, or it mull admit
a coollrufticn which will avoH thern.
That con.'ln.ftion obviocfl is, that a judge fht-uU
