I am surprised at the legal lights on the committee committing themselves to such a proposition. There are but three clauses in the Constitution of the United States where uni* formity of legislation is required. One is uniformity in the levying of duties. imposts. and excises. another is uniformity in naturalization laws. and another is uniformity in the bankruptcy laws. In no other respect is Congress. in mere matter of procedure. tied down to any system of uniformity. Why. only a few days ago this House. on the recommendation of this Judiciary Committee. passed a bill varying the general law assigning one district judge to every district. and gave two district judges to one district in the State of New York.
