There are four hundred and sixty cases of this kind on the docket, some of which were started as far back as the year 1SG7. Plaintiffs and de fendants are anxious for trial in fact, anxiously demand the adjudi cation of their cases but nearly all the time of our regular courts is taken up in the trial of criminal and public causes. Judge Henry made good speed on the criminal keX at last court ; he transacts our county jail ready for trial. A Thcse hearings will occupy all the time of the next court, if a two wecks term is held ; or if the civil docket is taken up, their continued jail fees will subject tho; tax-payers to a great expense, and do injustice to some who may be innocent. We know lawyers are averse to a spe cial sdmmer session, yet the public exigency demands it, and we sin- cerely hope a petition for a special term for civil, causes to follow inl mediately after the June.term will secure the signatures of all the legal iratemity. e are sure me parties, plaintiiffs and defendants will ap- plaud such action.

The paper Is being run with the strictest regard to econ omy, and if our friends will only sustain u to an extent sufficient to pay for the composition and paper we will guarantee to tho party a lively and an interesting paper at thecapital. We do not ask contri butions, although wo would bo thankful for them. What tee want "is subscribers. For every dollar sent, we propose to send the paper to any designated address. We also invito the leading men of the party to aid us in the way of editorial or communications. Tho Tri- Weekly Constitution is open to the party, and if our friends do not make it a success, both as regards the matter it contajns and In a pe cuniary point of view, tho fault rests with them, not us.
