After the flung Ot the vacancies in the general council Hon. Jon | F. Dilioa, of New York, delivered tae annual ad-) dress, his subject being tue general character of American institutions aud laws. He declared that every nation must. stand for, embody and represent some great principle which permeates, vitalizes and binds it together. In our government this principle 13 the absolute civil ind political equality of all its citizens, ‘hose collective will, expressed by majorities, | ‘the original and only source of all politica! power. By this fundamental principle we must stand ot fall, He would not discuss its soundness, since the stage of discussion ended with us more than a century ago; meanwhile the principle has stood the test of time, overcoming our fears, strengthen- ing and confirming our faith. | He pointed out the vast extent and rapid develop- | ment of the country, with a population exceeding 50,000,000, occupying thirty-eight states and nine | territories, reaching from ocean to ocean. He de. ‘Died with emphasis that our institutions had either Tailed of success or tbat their workings were ua- Satisfactory. He alluded to the great and complex problems Which confront the American lawyer, arising out of the laws and legal institutions of a nation of such vast territorial extent, with its du- ae system Of national and state government and t isprudence, and out of the problems presented yy the coaihued muluplication of corporations, dealing With interests vital alike to individuals an soclety. He insisted that justice was of supreme and paramount importance, not simply to individ- uals, Dut to the nation assuch, and that Justice was’ the result of good laws well administered. He entered upon a critical survey of the general hature of our system of Jaws and its practical workings, and reached the conciiston that they ‘Were consonant with our political institutions, and adapted to the genius, vemaper aud wants of our people. He declared that the common law, ineln- ding equity, was the groundwork of the’ whole | system of Afherican jurisprudence. He traced he Listory of the development of that law, and showed thatit had from the first been distinguished and characterized by a spirit of freedom wileh espec!- ally adapted it to the temper and necessities of a sel-governed people; and that management of | local affairs by local constituencies was consonant | with the spirit of the common taw, was adopted at | anearly period in England, and has been carried astill greater extent tn ithis country; that the | states severally dealt with ‘the congeries of muul- cipal institutions Independent. of federal co ‘thus happliy preventing a concentration of cal power at the national center; that in the cending scale, the federal constitution con sututed the 'states and people of all the states into the national government. He eulogized the Constitution of the United States ‘as Ule most remarkable Work of constructive pollu cal organization ever created. Adverung to Ue Jury, We expressed the view tit this was a valus bie and essential part of our judicial and political system, and that It belongs to our free institutions | and tends to perpetuate them. He entered upon a | critical examination of the doctrine of judicial precedent and the multiplication of law reports, of which we had tn Engiand and in this country av this Ume more than six thousand volumes. Our law consists of two great divisions—of stat- ute law and cage law. The law in its present eondl- | on, he sald, was fairly open to the three-fold ob- | Jection of want of certainty, of want of pubileity, and Want of convenfence. "The speaker Was i Tavor of a conservative codification of the law. Me Spoke of the Field codification of the law of proces dure in New York state, and spoke of its complet Uriumph, He sald that there were two causes for the deterioration of case law in this country, viz: First, the growing custom of subinittt printed briefs instead of by oral anguient, and, Second, the hablt of numerous appellate courts ast signing a record to one judge ty write the opinion without the previous examination of the case in conference by all the jwiges. In both of these r= Specls, it gave lum pleacure to say, he eousidered the Supreme Court of the United ‘states to be a model for all other appellate courts in the country.
