Mr. Powell offered an améndment to the cflect that on addiuona) justice be added to the Cirenit Court of the District of Columbia. Mr. Powell raid the onty effect of the bill wonld be to turn the present justices ont of «fice. Hethought this no time to make great sivrpations of any Kind, here or elsewhere, ‘hen the whole country is convulsed by @ yi ag eesiger tr. Davis, (T.) of Kentacky, was opposed to the passage of the bill. He vacaghe no bill | thovla be passed that violated in the ieastany part of Copstitution. He contended that this till was postponed merely to get the present: cceppante ont of office, and thatif they were of the Repaulicen, party they would not be re- Teved, Last ught Mr. Davis continued his remarke. He contenced that judges of courts could only be removed by impeachaient, and that the Con- rtiution pave judges the privilege of holding cfice gurmng good behavior. By legislating as this Lill proposes—to remove the judges—the very rock on which the Constitution reets—the wry—is made subsidiary to the legisla. tive power, whichis very dangerous legisia- tion. Mr. Ssulebury said no petition bad been rented to Congress asking for a change in the orgenization of the courte, nor has any indi- \idual cate of complaint been made against lem, but on the contrary, forty-cight members of the bar of this District had sent a petition Lere protesting &gainst any such alteration. There can be but one motiye for the introduc. on of thi bill, and that is to give to the Ex- + cutive of the United Stats the power to make ry of this District stibservient to his uGgce that hangs upon 8 “prince's President's smile, will mot be an a faithful judee. ~ y a Mr. Powell further op- of Mass., moved that two judges, one, Le appointed, which would + five in all rT.
