It will be seen that both our corieepondeut and the . jpemocrat are opposed to the propnsi .. .tion of issuing State, bonds at 6 per cent. . &c., to run forty years. . We think the wisest thing the Stater can.da is to let " . the bondholders take tho road4 and o make an end toth,e trouble ' And yet it must be adutled that there are two sides to every question, and his ppe is not aj exception, to the rule. Some of l ou;r eotom,porires claim to see ad vantages to the State in, issuing new bonds and letting the debt to go over to be finally paid by the next generation. 1 We suppose the next General Assem bly will thoroughly canvass the, subject: and shape, their actiou by sound judg : j : For the Watchman. i N O.

These notes were author ized as a war measure, made necessary by the exigencjes of the conflict in which the United States was then engaged.

The dockets of the Su preme Court, and of the circuit courts, in tho greater uumbcr of tlo cuduts, are encumbered with the constant accession of cases. Iu the former court, ami in maujr iustancea iu the circuit courts, yearjj intervene before it is practicable, to bring cases to hearing. The Attorney General recommeuds the establishiueit of;n iuteruediate court of errors and appeals. It is recomeuded that the number of judges of the circuit court iu each circuit, with tho exocptioii of the second circuity sjtfuhl b ;inyre;sed by the addition of another jurte ; in the second circuit that two should bo added nut rente to con sist of thc circuit judges and circuit jus tice, and that in the event of the absence ot either ot the three judges the place of the absent judge should bo supplied by the judge of one of the district ctftu ts in the circuit. Such an appellate court could be safely invested with large jurisdiction aud its decisions would satisfy suitors in many cases wliere appeals would stills be allowed to the Supreme Court. The ex pense incurred for this intermediate court will require a very moderate increase of the appropriations for the expenses of the Department of Justice. This recommen dation is commended to the careful consid eration of Congress. It is evident that a delay of justice, in mauy instances oppressive and disastrous to suitors, now necessarily occurs in the federal courts, which will in this way bo remedied.
