To The Editor OF The Tribune:


In The Tribune OF the Goth December last, we are
presented again with Mr.. Bascom's scheme, and
again have examined it, and am Still unable TO dis
cover its superior excellence. am still as tirm in
the opinion as before that any plan that does not
contemplate effectually to diminish the number,
length and cost of lawsuits is utterly unworthy a
moments attention. Does this plan do this MOI
word is said about either On the contrary 1t con-
templates, if possible, a more splendid scheme of
Law LOTTERY than we now have. Though II is
nroposed 10 limit the number of the Courts, still
.lawingH is to proceed as briskly as ever Nothing
is said against the ruinous practice OF appeals IRON
one Court 10 another-no provisions made thereby
but left as now to swell the business OF the higher
Courts and yet two less ofthem is proposed.


To limit the number of lawyers by system that
will work without so much of their help, and
the little petty Var Offices with which eve
ry village and city are crammed is not at all conem-
plated by Mr. B.'s proposed system, tnousn II IS in
ppenionsly got up. And why should it look to such
a RESULT Why, the reason is plain, MIR. Bascom
is lawyer-represen,s that interest; and 1t Is not
10 be supposed that he would propose plan that
would curtail the business OF the craft:


The operation OF the law OF last w inter reIatlve
TO the License question is expected TO limit essen
,iav the number of Rum. Sellers, and consequent
y Of tipping houses and tipping. So in remodel
ing the Judiciary System any plan that does not
con,emp plate material limitation of the number OF
La,c. Sellers and Law. Shops, ought not and trust
will not, be for a moment entertained by the Con
vention.


If the drunkard.factories of the State have pro-
duced multiplied evils of great magnitude, SO our
law factories have done and still doing but little
less under the present system What benefit has
the action of the one system conferred on the Eco
ne more than the other7 If the merits the con-
demnation of public sentiment. why not the other!


Mr. B. is Lawyer l am Layman, and re-
present, or rather belong TO, the more numerous
class We are not tenacious about the particular
frame work of system, only that 1t shall work 10
lessen the number and cheaper and shorten law
suits, and consequently lessen the number and busl-
ness of Lawyers. Nothing short OF this will an
