Among the questions that are the subject of discussion in this State and to which the-attention of the legisla ture which convenes today will be called, is the courts of the. State. There is complaint that civil business, which has to wait for; .the. disposition of criminal cases on the dockets, is delayed and in some counties has so accumulated that there is no reason able prospect of reaching -jsome or. it within' two orr three: : years." This ' should not be so. Our courts should be so constituted and conducted that all business whether criminal or civil may be disposed of promptly. When cases drag along in the courts and are postponed from term to' term it is a Cause not only of venation to those interested, but of loss in time and . money to them, and .loss or money also to the county and State. 1 Pers haps the root of .the evil complained of lies in the fact that there is really too much work for 'our courts to do, and too much of the time is necessas rily taken ut in the hearing of : the f criminal docket which takes' pfeve- l denies of trie tcivil This j could the. remedied by the establishment of criminal courts in each county to hear and try- criminal ' cases,', thus leaving the civil docket for the' S8 " perior court. TJfce great bulk of the -Criminal docket is composed of cases -that could be disposed of at once -without going through the process of hearing and binding over to theSu perior court. is now, the parties charged being- held at : the eipense of the people from ; three to . six months and sometimes longer. With such courts, and the. right of appeal to the Superior or high court : as the convicted party now has; there would be but little criminal business" to en gage the attention of 1 the Superior courts, and there would be fewer a the "laws delays" of which there is now justly so much complaint. While the establishment Of differ ent courts, for criminal and civil cases would expedite business, it would have other advantages, and, perhaps j. be conducive to the better dispensa tion of justice. - When the attention .of judges and counsel is confined to only one class of cases the presump tion i3 they would have more time to study up and familiarize themselves - with the laws bearing upon the ques- '! l!

THE OREGON PACIFIC LAND FOR- ..; FE1TURE BILL PASSED. 1 ; , The Honse Discassep, and Alter sun dry Amendments Passes the pension Appropriation Bill. , Washington. Jan. 1. Senate. The chair laid before the Senate a communication from the Attorney General urging that sufficient appro priationJje made to enable $he gov ernment to properly aeiena buub against the Umted states in mo Court or VJiaims. rwuerre w vuy committee on appropriations. I The Oregon Central jana ioneiiure bill was taken up. , Mnwan said that as both the Sena tors from Oregon wished this bill to pass he supposed it M&as expected that, all other Senators were to stand off and see the bill become a law as it atnnA hut. hnsvAfl fomnelled- by 'his sense of duty as a Senator to say that it ought not so to pass, it was a oiu of a radical character. He (Morgan) fairnrpfl t.hA rfit.lirn to the DUD11C . QO- main of all land grants not earned by the railroad companies, but pro vision should be maqe for judicial nanertAinment of the rights of all nartiea whose Drooerty was to be con fisoated. When DroDerty had. been confiscated as a result of war, Morgan Was glad to be able to bear testimony trf the magnanimity of the peo ple of the- United States, speaking through tneir iiepresenuniven m nnncreRs, who. even uhder pressure of passions arousedby war, had de cided that the seized property should be carried into the courts oetore ; ue inc disnosadof. He moved to amend by adding to the bill the substance of the provisions which, on his motion, had been added to the Atlantic Pa- mftn 1 forfeiture bill, providing method of judicial procedure for the ascertainment of the rights oi any parties claiming under the grant. At 2 o'clock the inter State com merce bill came up as ; the regular order, but by a vote of 23 Jo 22 was laid aside in order to continue con sideration of the Oregon Central bill. 4 Morgan spoke iafc considerable length in advocacy of his proposed amendment. '' Bonds, which wese a lien on the road, he said, were out. standing in the hands of innocent par ties, and whatever rights inhered in the holders of these bonds were rights that the courts could best investigate and decide upon. ; : In God s name, said he, "what sort of government have we got if the judicial; depart ment cannot be trusted to pass upon a title. When did Congress get its reputation for immaculate tmritv. to such an extent that it rose above the reputation of the judges? When did we find the pre cincts of our courts haunted by gangs of toul lobbyists to attempt to pre vent the decisions of those courts? It is not courts that such people ' visit. Thev visit Congress. They are not found about the Supreme Court, but are often found in the lobbies of this body. 1 will not say that where, the carcass is. there the eagles gather together.'. That would be unjust, but I will say this that tor the serene, honest iuslgment of perfect integrity. and orie upon which the country can rest with satisfaction, commend me to the courts rather than to any legisla' tive body." '-' Slater replied to Morgan, and main tained that Morgan's amendment was unnecessary .y. The bondholders rights were shown by the grant they had, such rights as the granting act gave them, and they could have no more. ' . , ; s ' it After further debate the amend ment of Morgan was brought to vote, and was rejected, yeas 15, nays The bill was then read the' third time and passed without discussion Before the announcement of . the vote on his ; amendment, Morgan changed his vote from yea to nay. and on the passage or the bill gave immediate notice or a motion to re consider. Executive Sesssion. "Adjourned. . - house. -rThe House at 12:25 wen into committee of the whole, Rogers or ArK., in the chair, on the pension appropriation bill. , Hancock, of Texas, explained the provisions of the bill which appro priated $59,976,000, or $24,000,000 less than the estimates. There was some new legislation in the bill. He thought that this general legislat on would prove advantageous to the country. ; . Warner, of Ohio, inveighed against the abuses which existed under the present pension law in the matter of compensation allowed '. to j claim agents, and declared that r piracy in middle ages was an - honest '' calling compared with ' the .operations " of claim agents in the city of Washing ton. ; They claimed to be the friends of the soldiers. They were the kind of friends to the soldiers that wolves were to sheep. '. ;. ; -;, , .- , Randall, of Pennsylvania,' said that at the last session the House : had adopted a proposition to remedy the evils existing, but the Senate had re fused to concur in it. In the confer ence committee legislation ;had been formulated, Which was enacted into a law, and under, this law the abuses complained of by the gentleman from Ohio, had crept in. J. D. Taylor, of Ohio, attacked the committee on pension?, .bounty and oacK pay, . ana cnaractenzed it as the graveyard of all pension legisla tion. , - '.- . Warner, of Ohio, replied in viridi cation of the action of the commit tee.' In the course of further debate. "Keifer, of Ohio, having the floor, was interrupted several times by War ner. , : J . is.euer aecunea to yield and ex pressed the belief ' that it was very uniair ior tne gentleman who had consumed nearly an hour in vindica ting himself and his committee to if sist on interrupting other speakers. Warner replied , that he had not consumed as much time in vindica trag himself as the gentleman from Ohio bad spent last session in at tempting to vindicate himslf. - ' , ! jveirer asKea tne cnair to have a good deal of forbearance towards the gentleman from Ohio because it was constitutional for him to interrupt. In the discupionf the bill, t Keifer entered his protest against the whole system of pension claim - agents and expressed his disapproval -of the pro posed reduction of pension agents from 18 to 12. ' The bill having ' been read for amendments', Everhart, of Pennsyl vania; offered a proviso that all ap plicants for pensions shall ' be pre sumed to have had no disability at the time of enlistment, but such presumption - may be rebutted. Adopted. v'" : ,H - "- ,T'-i An amendment was adopted pro viding that attorney's fees shall not be paid until the laim ' ia oiinnrat ,nd shall then be paid by the gov ernment pension agent, limiting the fees to $10, except m cases where a special contract for fees of $25 is filed, and restricting such special contracts to agents and claimants residing in the same State. Un motion of O'Hara, of NoTtTTl varonna, an amendment was adopt ed providing that the mode and manner provided for the regulation of the payment of white1 pensioners shall apply to ail pensioners.

New Orleans, Jan. 6. Referring to the reports in circulation in re epect to the financial embarrassment of the-World'a Exposition, Director General Burke said last evening "There is nothing to conceal in the matter. The expenses to January 1st have been $250,000 more than the management estimated. The money expended for the 'building for the government and State exhibits and the appropriations made by the man agement to aid ine otaies ana xerri tories in making collective exhibits. amounted to over f 500. 000, one half of which was the government loar Our total expenditures to- December 1st were inside the . subscriptions, loans and donations. - - , Instead of Opening with full receipts irom aamission irom jeceraoer exhibits were delayed, and construe tion retarded by weather and bad roads, and the enormous demands for space made additional buildings necessary.

Not only this but we have bad to advance over $30,000 for freight on exhibits not prepaid, which is, however, collecta ble from, the exhibitors.
