Mr, Morris, of llfnry, opposed the amend-menu, aad so did Mr.

Ader, wbo raised tbe Constitutional Ktat that the com penes ion olucers could Botrtioeraed duriu thelr-ternis of office. His Circuit l'ut sam and City) bad more U.aa fifty thou-. eaiid tababitanU, and this jroiotitioa. would Increase the salary of the Juub frou to t.O'JO, and Ultra was no reason for il and it was not demanded by the people. Gowd lawvers could be obtamed lor judges at tJ.MxJaTear.

i Mr. MrCulIougb made an argameat ia favor of classifying the salaries of ju'lpes according to the popalatirvn of ditru-ts, aod the services required. There wss do great inequality iu this-niatt-r under the present law. jt'onie judpef, who bad three or four couatios In their circuit, anil were compelled to hold court nearly all the year, received no tuore than those Judges a im bad only on eireuit ia a county and little work to do. i Mr.

Fippea said that the iulp who tr.t in the rural districts of he btate was entitled to at much tuoftcy as the jude who sat' in a city. He cuuoteded that there were too many circuits and too tuanr Udjjss in tbe estate. Ia the Thirty-nlth Urcuit the Jnde would bars hi salary reduced by this propositioa, and yet be bad to work, every uay ia tbe year, ahile some Judge or other circuitawere steuJiog three or lour tuonlhs in tbe sutuiuvr fittuuj oa the luket. This aiuendnirent raised the al aries of tome judges who did little work, aud reduced the sulariasof those wbo did more. i i Mr.

Votgt ppoed tha ameudvacnt, "for -the reason that the population at circuits was not a fnir indiratiou ef the amount tbat was required, to be doue by th Judges, Mr. Cullop said that it this amendment wts there would be a leg rolling at aeuion of the lVzUIature, to add certaia roualies to judicial circuits so as to increase the salaries of the Judges, tome of these had few travtlis; ex)iuct to pay, especially railroad fares, for railroad companies were alwsys. resdy and wUlinf to fits them free trantportatioa. Th ctroaits should Le lands as unHorni aa possible, and the udk-cs should be iaid the 'same salaries Mr. ILalUy apposed that prorUioa of the amenduieat tbat the colnut cf the State' should par tbe salaries of their Judges.

He thought tLst it woald probably be a plsa to grade the circuit, but did But ejv-prove i this plan: A juie onht to have to wcrk fr Li living ltke other mea. Mr. Hew said that the Judges wbo were bow getting were sot gettinr too much, neilbsr were thv gettiss: too little. Judges of the taiaft circar.t were en- titled to the tame rsv as the Jndcet of th larercircuita. The buiaesset a circaitwatH not at all regulated by tbe population.

He also cppoed tha provision, to have these suLtru's paid ty the coonties instead of by tiit butc. These talari should remain at bow provided by law. Mr. Orpenheim tbat tb amend-menu oil' red were taetlv ia the line tbia aad salary bill; in th line of econ ctiy and refurns. lie favored the amend-- mtuts particularly because ther would re- care the expenses of th ut about fldT.iXV) rear and rut them en th rsian Vst, and th Stst aeeded her axpeases re- -auc4 as muca as poi.l le.

Hr. Heuch favored the ajBeadmeats, which, if they were incorporated in the law, would ail'cct all eoantie alike. If tha People desired more coarta, they would Lav pay for -them; aad the expense would fall on the people ef the respe ctiv circuit, aad not oa the people of the State rsnerawdT. Mr. Iindeniuth said that it bad been fcuad liupoasible to grade and claifT Indicia! circuits oa aasis of business, and the next best thine to be done was to make that classification oa a basis of population.

Thtt wts the policy adopted by the frsmcra cf this fee and salary bill, aa it should be doptcdin If it wef a good principle ia tha one. it be gocd lorthe other. The ef this anendmect was to decrease the nuaiter of circuits, and it was tip ht that the tf tha Stato thoull pay their own judicial expenses. Mr. Guthrie- said thtt wat a tuSK cien iUry for a judge af tee cifait court ar.d he therefore opposed the amendment.

He 0 id not believw that all the wisdom XI House was tlaiaiered dowa into th committee a fee aad salaries, bath bw liertd tiat theV had doe their work care-tnlly and judiciously, i ii'r.
