' Iticli Democrat." This piratical concern, the organ of the old Junto, made its appearance yesterday. Its tone and spirit are just what we, and all who How its managers, supposed it would be. It makes loud professions of Democracy, of course ; and pretends to an extraordinary degree of talent, dignity and respectability; but nevertheless the blackleg and blackguard are very plainly apparent. It is chiefly occupied by assaults upon the CiL4FMAX3, about whom it makes a great many false statements, some of which we may possibly notice at our leisure. It does not seem to be so exclusive in relation to Gen. Cass, as its prospectus intimated it would be. The rebukes it has already received from the pre-s, had a favorable influence in this respect. It now, therefore, pretends to be somewhat anxious about principles, as well as men. All tlie!e professions of course were to be expected, because few men attempt to play the rascal or hypocrite tj any other than good professions. By this rule should our tlacklejr neighbor be tested. Hon. IT in. J. Ilrou ii. The Washington Union, (several numbers of which by the way, were this week delayed by the mails,) contains the following announcement : "We are happy to announce that Mr. William J. Brown, a representative in the last Congress from Indiana, has been appointed Second Assistant Fostmaster General, in the place of William Medill, Esq., of Ohio, now Commissioner of Indian Affairs." Our piratical neighbor does not seem to relish this promotion of Mr. Drown, very well. He thinks Mr. Urown "a very lucky man ! !" He is so, and we have no doubt he can hold his own with A. F. Morrison, boot or no loot. The Baltimore Argus, whose opinion is quite as good as Morrison's, says : 44 We would also express our great pleasure at the above appointment. We recogaize in Mr. 13. a:i energetic, untiring, and working Democrat, in as well as out of Congress. The appointment of gentlemen of such acknowledged capacity and indisputable integrity, cannot but meet the approbation of every honest American, and insure the safety of the public interest." O-The daughter of Mr. Bancroft, the Secretary of the Navy, died at Philadelphia on Wednesday, October 29th. She was cf the tender age of six years, nnd was the only child of her parents. The Washington Union thus beautifully and feelingly alludes to this bereavement. 44 A Ross-BCD BROKEN 'FROM ITS PARENT STEM. "Within a'mileof the city of Richmond is a grave-yard dedicated to the Mayo family on the classic hills where Powhattan is said to have had his wigwam, and where Pocahontas once roamed. In this restingplace of the dead, there is a tomb placed over the only child of is parents. How often have we contemplated the simple emblem which was sculptured upon it ! It was a beautiful rose-bud, snapped from its parent stem, and falling to the earth. 44 This image arises again upon our memory when we hear to day of the fate of that lovely little child, but six years of age, Susan Bancroft, the only child of the Secretary of the Navy, who breathed her last in Philadelphia on Monday night. She was indeed a lovely thing, gay as a spring morning, when she left us in July last ; and blooming like a Hebe in health. How little did we dream that it was the last wc should ever see of her ! She was the favorite of all who saw her. We almost violate the seal of confidence w hen we publish the following brief extract from a letter to a gentleman in this city : Philadelphia, Tuesday. 44 Wc intend to reach Washington on Thursday. Susie ended her sufferings last night, a little before nine. To-morrow we entrust her to her resting-place, and the cext day we must take up our solitary journey on the paths of life. You can have no idea of the loveliness of the child we have lost." The Wheat Crop. The Thiladelphi a Ledger observes that if Europe is suffering on account of the failure of the wheat crops, the United States is abundantly able to supply the deficiency. The wheat crop of the United States for this year is estimated at 123,000,000 of bushels, which is twenty-two millions of bushels more than the greatest crop ever raised in this country. That of 142 was 103,000,000. The crop of Michigan is comparatively larger that that of any other State in the Union. With a population of not over 400,000, she raises this year at least 7,000,000 bushels of wheat. The quality is also of the very best. The Central railroad now brings down to Detioit 10,000 bushels of wheat daily, but the supply is so very heavy at Marshall and the other depots at this busy season, that tho motive power cannot take it off as fast as the forwarders require. The amount of Indian corn raised m the United States this season is estimated at twenty-two bushels for every man, woman and child in the country. 0"The Indiana Journal is trying to crow over the election of a Whig congressman in Florida, and some other "victories" of equal import. It certainly is very excitable and easily gratified. Its Whig friend of the Crawfordsville Tress does not appear so much elated. He says : "There never was a time, perhaps, when the prospects appeared st gloomy for the Whigs, as the present. On every hand their adversaries are triumphing, and rioting in the spoils of conquest. They are defeated in almost every election. So far from being able to number States in their category, they cannot, with the least degree of certainty, calculate upon the election of a borough magistrate." C-Undcr the head of "epithets," Morrison makes some insulting allusions to us. We should think that he ought to be tho very last man in this community to court a nersonil controversy ; but he seems to lliink w 4 m . otherwise. Very well : all we have to say is that I: is course will probably bring up some old reminiscences about hlinkets and loots, and so on, that will not be altogether uninteresting. The Oregon Question. It is reported, says the Thil. Ledger, that the British minister has proposed to submit this question to arbitration, and that Mr. Buchanan, the American S3crctary of State, i3 willing to acquiesce, but that he is overruled by the Fresidont Governor Yell, of Arkansas, declines re-election to Conirrco.

The news from England by the last packet has placed it beyond doubt that the wants of England for all kinds of provisions will be larjre, and that the demand will fall upon the United States almost altogether. For a long series of years England has been approximating the point when she must come to depend entirely upon foreign nations for a large portion of her supplies of food. The harvest of lSJJG was the last of five crops that were sufficient to feed the British Isles without aid from abroad. The crop of 137 fell a little short, and 1,031,176 bushels were imported. From that time the sufficiency of the soil of Britain to feed her population ceased forever. A succession of good harvests, ending with 1314, did not suSce to meet the demand, and imports were annually made to a rreater or less extent. The present harvest has now failed ; the whole of the deficiency must conic from abroad. The following table chows the increase which has taken place in the exports of farm produce to England : IlroKTt Or V91TK0 ITATII MODCCI TO GHAT RITAI.f. 1836.

This trade will the difficulties continue to grow, notwithstanding thrown in its way, more especially as the new Eng lish taritT calls into activity many articles which were not heretofore exportable. In this view, it becnme3 evident that the increase of our export will, for the next twenty years, not be limited to the article of cotton the money value of which, since 1835, has declined in proportion as the quantity has increased, but the increase will be swollen by the enhanced demand for all articles of agricultural produce, swelling in nn eminent degree the outward freights of our merchant marine, as well as the wealth of the farmere.

In order to estimate what the probable wants of England may be, we give tho following table of the imports down to Jan. 5 IS 15: . IMPORTS IXTO ENOLAJfD.

In the last three years the harvest has been good, notwithstanding which this trade has been well sustained. Now the crop has again become deficient, and the demarid may h6 . looked for at least as great as in the year 1940. It then amounted to the following quantities : Wheat, in bushels, 16,199,336 Flour, in bbls., 712.967 Hatter, ia lbs., 2S,069,537 Cheese, in lbs., 24.6S2.1C6 Now if we compare the prices of grain in New York and on the continent at this time and in 1310, we shall observe iii how great a degree the demand is likely to fall here : PRICES 0P WHEAT. 1S40. 1545.

On the other hand, the Western country could send ferth euch quantities as would allow of very extensive exports without a material advance from present rates, which are sufficient, if the farmers of Illinois, Indiani and Wisconsin can obtain them for their whole product, to promote a very great degree of prosperity, and by reacting upon the Atlantic border, make the year 1340 one of the greatest prosperity.

Horrible 31 ur tier nnd Arson. A great sensation has been created in Eoston by an appalling murder, somewhat similar to the Helen Jewett tragedy which occurred in New York some years 6 go. The Boston Blair of Oct. 27, gives the following particulars : The scene of the murder Is a small two-story brick house, in Cedar lane, between Cedar and Charles streets occupied by 31 r. Joel Lawrenco and wife, who have lived there something like twenty-five years. For some v ears past, as we understand, the premises have been u?ed as a house of assignation rooms being kept for the accommodation ot those in the habit of visiting it. The body, that of a young and beautiful female of 23 or 24, was lying on the floor covered, all but tbe breast, head and feet, with a bloody sheet which Had been thrown over it. She lay on her back close to the grate, with the head turned over on the right side. The head was thrown back, exposing a terrible and ghastly cut from ear to ear. The jugular vein and windpipe were entirely severed, the razor which the murderer used having entered to the bone. Her hair was partly consumed, nnd her face charred and blackened by the action of the ! Sre. , The door of the house being unlocked on the arrival of the Coroner's jury, they proceeded up one pair cf stair! to the room ia which the murder was committed, and the view was most appalling inconceivably so to any one who wns not there to see it. Tha room, which was a small sized bed-room, in the rear ol the house, in the second story, contained Irag-

4,C57;K)0 ' were pattered with blood probably done when she was&2l.Si9 ' drnff!ed fiora the bed and thrown upon the floor. A

sc h-a vi is u l ill , ivrtiii i rMVi.u u wv stau Ii? chair, standing near the head of the bed, contained a pool of blood. We gathered from a conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence and a girl in the house that they were awakened about five o'clock this morning by a shriek up utairs, and a heavy fall, which apparently jarred the house ; immediately after, and before they were hardly awake, a person came down stairs, slipped in the haste, and fell, but recovered, and rushed out of the front door. The family then smelt fire, and going up to the room, found it filh-d with flame and smoke. The fire was set in three different places the bed which the murdered woman had occupied the closet containing h her dresses, and a bed in an adioininz bedroom, which was un.nrcuhusband for some time past. He is a shoemaker by trade, and was lately in the employ of Mr. Smith, in Cambridge street. He is now in Bangor, where this ill fated woman formerly belonged. A letter was found in the room addressed A. J. T. to M. A. Ii. Also a pair of men's drawers, rane and stockings, and a bunch of keys. Dr. Moriarty, who was prefent at the examination, said it was impossibla for ber to move after she received her death wound, and he must have dragged her from her bed. In the straw bed under which she slept, a bunch of matches were fuund nearly burnt up. Suspicions, almost amounting to certainty, are fixed uponAlbeitJ.Tirre.il as tho murderer, though he has not yet been arrested. Tirrell was arrested some time since, at Mew Bedford, on a charge of adultery, and was lately discharged j ha in compromised the matter. He is said to be a native of Weymouth, in this Slate. Annexed are further particulars from the same paper of tbe 28th : A jury of inquest viaited the premises in the forenoon at half past 11 o'clock, and found the room, which is on the second floor, in much confusion. Among other things, a trunk of clothes, in which matches hid been introduced, was much burnt. The body of the murdered woman v;us much disfigured, and presented a horrible appearanc. e-iie lay in tier uiooa on iue iioor, ana wie aides in the room were more or less statnea witu it. Some matches and a comb were found in the bclton vhi'-h f!)? hid lain. Amoi.g the articles in the room we noticed some lines of music, an accordion, a bottle of co logne, a parasol, gloves, bhoes, A.c. Ihe jugular aul windpipe were cut, nnd the throat entirely laid open. I It seemed by the bloody water in the wash bowl, that the murderer, oficr consummating the horrid deed, coolly went to the washstand and washed his lianiii. The in dividual who passed the night with the deceased, and who it ia supposed is the murderer, went to the house in question at 4 o'clock, Sunday afternoon, flayed half an hour, and was again there at 8 I. M. We learn further that when he returned lrom the room, alter the act, he was heard by the inmates of the house to slip on the stairs and partially fill down. Some of them have refl ection Hisa as to a scream being uttered by some one, evidently by the woman who was murdered. The jury found among other things in the room a letter addressed as follows : "A. J. T., to 51. A. B." Tho unfortunate female's name was Maria A. llunn. fclie formerly lived n the vicinity of Bangor, and was married to a shoemak er by the name of Bickford. About three years 6ince Hie bit her husband and came to this city, wnere slie lias ived a lifo of dissoluteness, and has attracted much at tention in our streets. 1 be suspicions of our police have fallen on one Albert J. Tirrell. TlrreM is the individual who was lately indicted in the Municipal Court for adultery, avoided the officers, bat was subsequently arrested with some dilficulty at New Bedford. The affair has since been settled. It will be remembered that he was armed at the time, lie is Faid to be a desperate character. He took a meal or two at Concert Hall on Sunday, but his stopping ptace, or place where he left some of his baggage, was No. 9 Elm street. But yesterday he did not seek his accustomed resort, but escaped early in the morning from the city. About 5 o'clock in the morning of yesterday, soon after the deed was perpetrated, he went to the stable of J. V. Fullum, in Bowdoin Square, and got a person to take him out of town immediately, and in the direction of Weymouth. The person conveyed him out and returned at 11 o'clock, A. M., yesterday. Soon after his return, the required legal process win pro vided, and four officers, fully prepared lor any emergency, started in pursuit. lie can scarcely escape an orrcbt. We learn that he had a wife and two children at Wey mouth It has been ascertained that the key found at the room of the murdered woman exactly fits the lockg of some of his baggage. Another Express RoiJ3ERvi A trunk, containin äGO.OOO was taken from the railroad cars at Itoehester, on the 23d inst. It had just been deposited by Livingston and Well's Express messenger. lie was absent but a couple of minutes, having only gone to the ticket office, and on his return it had been re moved. The Buffalo Pilot has traced out losses to the amount of .$23,751, sustained in that city. The heaviest sufferers are, lt. II. Seymour &. Co., 10,000 ; Ö. Lee &, Co., $3700 ; A. D. Tatchin, S'JSOO ; American Exchange Bank of New York, $2,000, and various lesser sums. A large reward is o'Jered for its recovery. Four suspected persons have been arrested at Cleveland. Anti-Rent Feeling. An immense, meeting is re ported to have been held in Andes, N. Y., and very strong resolutions passed. Threats are made that the streets shall flow in blood, before Van Steenburgh and O'Connor can be executed. What this language will amount to remains to be secnl ft"If the private correspondence of the whig cdi tors and politicians were published in the same open and unblushing manner as that in which McKenzie s pamphlet gives tho letters of the Loco Focos, there would not be found the weight of a pin of difference between them. So says the New York Herald ; and who is green enough to doubt its assertion ?

It purports to be a certificate of indebtedness by the city of Pittsburgh for two dollars, dated S-pt- 1, 1311, bearing interest one per cent., receivable for city dues, and not payable at all, or convertible into coin. There is consequently eight cents interest due upon the promise bef ire us. That such vile rag should be tolerated in an intelligent community, is & m-jst extraordinary circumstance. If tho city were io borrow money on a regular stock, she would have to pay at least seven per cent, to wealthy lenders. By issuing thee swin dling promises, she borrows of tha poor the proceeds of their labor at a nominal interest of one per cent., which is allo;fed only to the wealthy tax payer. The inconvertible rags circulate at a discount, and every j poor man is taxed on what he is compelled to lend the city, instead of getting interest. Frixotles rs. Tolicy. Touching the folly and danger of temporizing or yielding to mere policy, the A?!P York Keening Post, correctly says : " The Democratic party i3 never so prosperous as when it is stringent ia the assertion of its loftiest aims. When it begins to temporize it grows weak when it hesitates its strength decays. Its most vigorous battles have been made when the objects to be gained have been the grander." The Ouon l ijo Stanlird remarks upon the ab ve: "No man who understands the history and progress of political parties, will deuy the truth of this paragraph. Never has any party of any kind gained substantially by substituting policy for right. The true way, and tbe only way for a party to obtain and maintain the ascendency is to deserve it deserve it by using all the means in its power to maintain those principles which are founded in strict justice and right." Them's our sentiments. TnE "Bears" and "Bulls" of the Stock Exchange are thus described by the N. Y. News. The Bulls arc operators fjr arise generally, sellers, of stocks to the best advantage for actual holders The Bears are "destructives." Their whole business is to induce timid holders of stocks to sell out cheap for their advantage. For instance, any steck, say Norwich and Worcester, which sells at 74. The "bears" will sell at 73, deliverable in 30 days. If the stock don't fall, they spread innumerable lies, that it is doing no bu3iacss, losing money, &.C., by which some female or elderly gentleman is frightened into a sale at 73! Thi the Boar takes and delivers at473, making a quarter per cent. x ' Tea jvs a Nutritive. In an article in Hunt's Magazine, on the subject of the growing consump tion of tea and coffee, estimated now for the whole world at 600,000,000 lbs., it is asserted that both contain "an active principle, which, though small iu quantity, is yet supposed to form an important part in the human economy." Tea, especially according to M. Peligct of the French Academy of Sciences, "contains essential principles cf nutrition, far exceeding in importance its stimulating properties, and that moreover, as a stimulant, tea is in .every respect one of the most desirable articles of habitual use." . One of his experiments on the nutritive qualities of tea, as compared with soup, was by no means in favor of the latter. This will ba good news to tea drinkers and, wc hope, will neutralize a little of the ocean of nonsense which has been promulgated by bran-brain persons on the subject. OrThcre is much good sense, arid sound logic, and refined sentiment in the following paragraph from the Salem Gazette : . "Gratuitous Printing." There is no such thing as doing any thing "gratuitously," in a printing of fice. Homebody must pay tor every thing that is done Not a line can be set that docs not cost money for the settinfr. Either the printer must pay the whole, or the advertiser must pay his share.: The only question, therefore, to be asked by the publisher, who is to pay the money for the labor, is, what ground has this party or individual to require nie to pay fjr the pro motion of its or his objects I Children. Gov. Jones, of Tennessee, in his ad dress to the Legislature of the State, says that " there are in the State more than two hundred and fifty thou sand children, between the ages of six and twenty one years." If person3 21 years' old are childr2n, where does the Governor find his men ! Qj" At a late meeting of the College of Teachers at Cincinnati, an address from Mrs. Emma Willaed, of Troy, was read, proposing a new theory of the Motive Powers in the circulation of the Blood. The Chronicle says, it was ingenious, original and novel. The Washington correspondent of the N. Y.

Emigration to the West: The emigration west ward the past season, by the way of the lakes, is said to have exceeded that of anv previous year. A. cor respondent of the Albany Evening Journal, 6tates that he went in a steamboat with O'JU passengers, and that he was assured that it was a low estimate to put the passengers at 500 a day, say for 280 days of the season making 100,000, of whom one half at leaet were emigrants, going to make their homes in the West Colored Voters.

The German States have commenced prohibiting the exportation of bread stuff. . The wheat crop in England is now known to be very far below an averaje. The turnip crop is threatened with a distemper like the potatue plague. Famine with all its horrors, appears to be staring at half of old Europe's population, and an all-pervading cry for civil and religious freedom rises on every hand. Extensive floods, causing, much damage, have occurred in the north of England nnd Scotland. Much com which remained in the field was carried away, as also sheep and cattle ; some lives were lost. There have been destructive floods in the neighborhood cf Proton. One of the first commercial houses of Utrecht, it is 6aid, is at the head of the committee formed fjr the purpose of buying up potatoes and other alimentary substances in foreign lands, and retailing them to the poor of its own country, without profit. The Emperor of Russia has made an advance of ruuuifs 10 ine ii;imonar.is or Livonia, to enable them to purchase rye seed, the crop having gene rally failed in that count ry. The crops of wheat, rye, barley, and pens in Holtein, Denmark, and Pomcrania arc said to be satis'dctory, both as regards the quantity and the quality. The potatoe crop in the neighborhood of Taris is the finest and most abundant on record, particularly in tbe plains ot bt. Denis, des v irtus, ISanterre, and the valey of Montmorency. The Cologne Gazelle, of the first inst, states that the potatoe malady has broken out in nearly all the antons in Switzerland. The Prussian government has prohibited the export tion 01 potatoes from Westphalia and the Rhenish rovincce. The general failure of the potatoe crop is, as we nave betöre , stated, one of the primary elements, in this upward tendency of prices. It may be observed, lowever, that cs regards Lngland, the discrae in the potatoe, 111 many districts, has, nearly disappeared, caving only a small ccab behind, which will not ma tenauy injure the properties ol tliat valuable cscuent. The attempts to improve crops by electricity Lave been everywhere a failure. ; . Tbe present is an eventful period in the history of reland. I he hepeal agitation, the meetings and pro tests of the ultra Protestant party against the late proceedings ot the Irish Executive, and the truly won derful railway spirit which at present is abroad in that country, presents subjects worthy of the careful consideration of the statesman, the philanthropist, and the Christian. O'Connell emerged from the solitude of the wilds of verry, and once more entered the arena of political .tation. Fof.eign Grain Markets.

The Dutch and Lclgian mar kets are fiat and rather low. The wheal market at Odessa was inactive. The Danube accounts are dearer. The course of excLanjre hod fallen nearly six percent., which makes the wheat cost so much dearer in sterling money. Jo disposable shipping m the Danube. ; Liverpool, Oct. 11. The quarter's revenue in the Customs shows a decrease of a million sterling, and an increase in tbe Excise of about J50,0(i0.

We saw, saya the New York Mirror, a few days ßince, at Mr.. Thomas Crane Bank's in Broadway, one of the most ingenious and curious peicps of ornamental jewelry that we have witnessed. It is a bracelet of chaste and elejrant workmanship beautifully enamelled having in the centre a small and exquisite painting of two victims to the tender passion. By touching a f'pring, tbe centor-piece opens, and beneath it is discovered watch of the size cf a 25 cent piece perfect in all its parts, and indicating the time with unerring fidelity. It is not connected with the bracelet, and is in itself a miniature curiosity that has no eqoal in this city cer tainly. There is a mass of frranite rock on the peak of the Alps, weighing 131,000 tons! which 13 bo nicely poised that one nuu may easily rock it.

tOlLTllXIt'ATlüA;,. Prosaic Circuits. Tbe writer is well aware of the risk one encounters who proposes or advocates a change cf systems, which have been matured by time, and received, even negatively, the sanctions of experience. But it should be borne m mind that perfection ii not the work of a day or a year. No system ia so perf.-ct that it niy not be improved. "Let well enough aLnc" is a maxim as prudent as old. But bct-usc a system has t-n lung in practice aud apparently has bevn sucre-fu!t we ought net to conclude that it is the Ic.n th"t can be devised. Were this the ca6e, all the abuses in government, and all the heresies in religion, might be justified and defended. The BriiMi nobility, with much dogmstic jositivcncss, contend that a limitinl monarchy is the wises and best form of govern m nt known to tha world, while we democratic Americans ridicule the opinion of the English nobility, and insist with ecual dogmatism that a Republican government is the wisest and best ever devised by man. And yet tbe monarchist has the benefit to be derivod from tiie antiquity of the system on his side. The fact is, antiquity really proves nothing. The world, it is hoped, is growing both wiser and better, old systems are daily succeeded by new ones. We ought to be wiser to-morrow than to-day, next year than this because we then shall have had the experience cf another day or year added to our stock of knowledge. These general remarks might be applied with much truth to the system of Trcbate Courts, as ti present organized in this State. It is difficult to account fur the long continuance of the system, so defective in itorganization, or at lcs-t in its constitution, u;k)ti any other ground than that it has drawn around it the sanctity of antiquity. The propriety of a chnnge in

the system has frequently bet n discu-sM by the Legislature 4 but no change hns boon cüVctcJ. The Representatives have always shrunk from taking the responsibility cf making a change, whib tLe people have never sufficiently discussed the proposition to see or feel its ncces-ity or importance. The Pftbate Courts of this or any State are really of greater im portance to the wfiule people than the Circuit Courts. It is fated unto all on?c to die. And thcrtfurc .the estate cf every individual is liable to be tcttled uud disposed of under the supervision and adjudicatL'ij.of the Probate Court, These Courts rise in impprt.aix c when we reflect that in addition to the. powers ucflly granted to such courts in other States, there is ruperndded concurrent jurisdiction inall cases in law and in equity wherein executors, administrators, guardians or heirs are parties. Every practitioner knows that in almost every chancery su.t one or the other of these classes of persons is a party, so that the juiisdiction cf tho.Frobatc Court in equity proceedings is nearly co-extensive with that of the Circuit CourtWhy then should not the presiding Judge of the cne be as well skilled in the law and also in the practices and usages of the courts, as the presiding Judge of the other ! Nay, is it not more important that the Probate Judge should be a. pocd lawyer than that the Circuit Judge should be one 1. Such is the opinion of tbe writer. Suits, involving, the title to property worth thousands of dollars, are frequently commenced in the Probate Court and heard and fletermined in tbe absence of all the defendants, who perhaps arc infants in the cradle! $uch. cases as these .kre cf frequent occurrence. And such ear parte cases purely ourht to be tried and determined by the Lest of Judges. The Legislature acted wisely when it decided that the Associate Judges of the Circuit Courts should not hear and determine chancery suits in the absence cf the President Judge. Why then is it permitted that one man in the Probate Court may do vihat it has forbidden two persons, equally well qualified and competent, to transact, in the Circuit Courts! , The fact i, no man who has not ma!e the law his study is qualified or competent to try a cause, either at law or in equityt where important legal principles or difficult questions of practice are involved. It may be asked what is the remedy and how shall it be applied ! The remedy i obvious and easy of application. Place the TrobAte Courts on an ejal footing with ti;e Circuit Courts. In a word establish Trobate Circuits. Let a competent Judge be elected by the Legislature or by tbe people. If it be thought lest let the Probate Courts have concurrent jurisdiction with the Circuit Courts in all chancery causes. I ak w hat objection can be urged against this plan ! Will it be eaid that this system will be more expensive than the present one ? ThU is denied. In this (the 2d) Judicial Circuit, all tbe Probate Judges receive in the aggregate about five hundred dollars annually os their salaries. So far as economy is concerned then, this amount might as well be paid to one Judge as to several. If we had competent Probate Judges a large proportion of the chancery business which is commenced and determined in the Circuit Courts would be transacted in the Probate Courts. , Of course as the business of the Circuit Courjs diminished their terms would be shortened, and consequently a portion of the expenses incurred by the attendance of jurors would be saved ; sufficient at least to make up the balance of the Judges' salary. Besides this, such an arrange- -ment would decrease, to a great extent, the amount of business in the Supreme Court of .the .Slate. It is a well known fact that the business of tho Supreme Court has greatly increased within the past fotv years. A larcre portion of this increase of business has beea caused by the erroneous proceedings in the IYobate Courts. Either this qua ntity of business must be diminished or the number of the Judges increased. One more remark, and I will close tbis communication. A considerable portion of the litigation relative to land titles originates from the defective. or void proceeding ' of the Trohate Courts. This single fact cf itself ought to show the necessity of a change. Brovnstou-n, Sot. 3, 1915. E. African Colonisation.
