This arrangement will great ly increase the cost of appealing cases from this county. It seems to have b«:en made to suit the convenience of Justices Sharswood, Greene and Pax son, whose homes are in the eastern of the §tate. .Justices (jordofj, rrankey and Sterrett objected to the change. Some time airo the Supreme Court Judge? oouipltiined that their living expenses were largely increased by their being compelled to move from one placM to another in the perform ance of their duties, and our last Leg islature increased their salaries SI,OOO per annum to compensate thorn for this. The change seems to meet w'tbgeuprql disfavor In thin part of the State. If the Supreme Court is to be located at any one place, the State capital would seem to us to be the proper point.
