Would that every individual who assumes the

then they would not require to be intreated to

would bring to the treasury of the Lord.

SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 70, 1881.

LEGISLATURE Yesterday was day of i'm
portance in the House of Delegates-,he bill organ
izing the Superior Courts of Law and Chancery in
this Commonwealth, having been read third time
and passed. We have repeatedly stated its princi-
pal features. For the vast labor which he has be-
slowed upon the Judciary--for the perfect and
interchangeable devotion, with which he has applied
himself, night and day, this great subject, the
Commonwealth owes Mr. Leigh an unextnguishahle
debt of gratitude. How the system will work, ex-
pertinent only, can fairly prove; if success cores
pond with the ability, zeal and patriotism dispayed
in the architecture of the system, Virginia will be
blessed with Judiciary equal to ho-=.~oa.s and
situation-
Another bill was yesterday passed, of great mo-
gnent to one section of the Commonwealth, and
upon which, feeling desire for the prosperity of
every part of the State, tender our warm con-
CALCULATIONS to those interested-we mean the bill
authorizing the borrowing upon the credit of the
surplus of the Fund for Internal Improvement of
Sl25. 900, % construct road from Winchester TO
some point on the Ohio River, in the Counties of
Tyler or Wood. All that fine country in the North
west of Virginia, between Pennsylvania and MARY
land on one side, and the Kenawha on the other is
now almost excluded from market. This road will
open a communication with the heart of Virginia
and commercially and 90 litcay, is of the greatest
consequence

papers, express themselves in warm terms of disap

Deiegation-particularly that of Mr. Henshaw has
been censured with extreme severty-but as we are
glad to see, is defended with judgment and ability, in
