The Judiciary Act of 1789 provided for two classes of U. S. Courts inferior to the Supreme Court,-Circuit Courts and District Courts. Each district consisted of one State, and had its district judge. Since then, some States have been divided, and these Federal courts of the lowest grade now number more than sixty. In 1891 an act was passed fixing the judges' salaries at $5000.
