Mr. HOWE. I was told by a leading attor ney fromour State that 3/4ths of the appeals which come up from the State of Wm consin involve less than that amount. It should be borne in mind that these causes involve private rights and do not aflect ordinarily anyone in the world except the parties; and the importance of the cause to the parties depends much more upon the amount in controversy than it does upon the condition of the parties themselves or the estates that they own. A suit involving $100,000 is of no more in} ortiince to a man worth a million than 3.80"; involving $10,000 is toa man worth ten times that amount. The object of giving appeals in gestion of the Senfrom Wisconsin is to this court, I suppose, is because it is believed it is more likely to do justice, to decide causes right than any other court. If it is supposed on can get a correct decision below that, why have this court at all? Why not amend your Constitution and strike it out and have several courts of final jurisdiction? I hope, Mr. President, that the honorable Senfrom NewYork will accede to this proposition. I have no manner of doubt but what there is an urgent necessity for limitin the amount of business in this court. I will take this occasion to say that I cannot quite agree with the honorable Senfrom NewYork that it is the chief merit of this bill that it provides no new judicial officers. I stand here to say that I would myself have liked the bill better if it had provided a new judge for each of these circuits to sit in the court of appeals, and had diseased with the necessity of assigning one of the justices of the Supreme Court to the hearing of these trials. do myself believe that that would have been an improvement to the bill. It would have involved an expenditure of considerable money; but the money thus expended, money exended with the view of having causes full eard fully considered, and rightly determined, I o believe is well invested. Economy is an admirablething, but economy practiced at the expense of private right and private justice is not the article exactly that I am preered to brag of. However, I will not discuss the merits of that proposition, for it is not before the Senate; I do not propose to bring it before the Senate; but I wish t leSenator Would consent to allow this amendment to be made; if heinsists that that would incumber the records of this court with causes more numerous than they can hour, then I shall insist upon his fixing a remed for that in some such way as I have suggeste, or in some other way.
