Mr. HARRIS. The Senfrom Wise onsinmust have misa prehended me when he says that I regard the chief merit of this bill to consist in tcfact that it makes no new judges. I said it was one of the excellencics of the bill that it was economical, that it cre ated no new judges, that the office of the bill is to use the judicial power already existing in a more economical manner. That I believe, and I regard that as one of the great excellencies of the bill. I should be glad myself to enlarge the judicial force of the country, and the time will come, I am ersuaded, when that will be necessary; but I do not believe that a bill contemplating such a measure as that could bepassed through Congress at the present time in the present condition of our country; and I therefore regard it as a great excellence of the bill that it (foes not add to the expense of the Government. I think the Senfrom Wisconsin, when he objects to this large amount as a limit of jurisdiction, does not consider the fact sufficiently that we are here creating a very important. intelligent, efficient court ofappeals. The limit to apeals to that court is $500, and I should be glad to make it even less ifitwere practicable. Here is created an intermediate appellate court consisting of 3 or 4 or 6 intelligent judges, judges as capable of de ciding ordinar questions as they come up as the Supreme ourt here in the capital; and every case will pass in review before that court. Ordinary cases may very well be stopped there; and if it is necessary in order to protect the Supreme Court from being overburdened with causes is it not better that the limit should remain as it is? I am not very anxious whether that limit be $5,000 or $10,000. If I felt confidence that the Supreme Court would not be pverburdened, I should like to make the limtt much less than that. As I have alread said, in drawing the bill originally I hadno such limit and I should be glad if itwere not necessary to have a limit whether it should be $5,000 or $10,000, I do not think very important; but there must be a limit.
