I do not forget the old saying, that the laws are silent in the midst of arms; but I would have our Republic show, by example, that such is not always the case.

But nothing effectual was done about it till 1866, when the bill was passed. The revision and consolidation were to be completed within three years; but the work was neglected, although the salaries were drawn by Caleb Cushing, Mr. James, of Ohio, and Mr. Johnston, of Pennsylvania. In 1870, a supplementary Act was passed, and President Grant reappointed Mr. James, and associated with him Mr. Abbott, of New York, and Mr. Barringer, of North Carolina.

The ancient Roman laws, when first codified, were so cumbersome that they made a load for several camels. Ours swell to twelve heavy volumes, too expensive to be afforded by any except the few, while they should be in every public library and law office throughout the country.
