can readily perceive that the prospect for dis
po3Aion OF the business, III any reasonable time
Is well nigh hopeless. Even with the aid of the
SPECIAL Court OF Appeals the prospect is by no
means f1atteTing. The Report made to the Clerl,
OF the House Of Delegates shows, that this Spe-
cal Court OF Appeals sat Sigtyf four daas and dis
posed OF Slrty-ote cases. The reader will thus
see, that according TO this report, 148 new cases
In the year ending August 30lh 18A9, were
commemorative cases were pendinp-and 10
were disposed of by both courts There is still
another TACT worthy of notice. and which shows
ne strong necessity for Reform in the judiciary
department OF our government. Who can fail
to be struck with the pregnant fact, that only
80 causes, were decided in Richmond bv the
Regular Court OF Appeals, IN 1872 daps while
| the same Judges could decide at Lewisburo 81
| causes m 46 days, Surely if this number can
| be decided in LeWisburg in l6 DAVIS. a much
larger number should have been disnosed of in
Richmond in 1879 days! In New York all the
business OF their courts as we can learn from the
Reporter, is reguartydis posed of E if this can be
done IN such State as New York why has not,
and why cannot our Court dispose of all the bus
mess IN Virginia? 1t is the duty of the "A,ui
Retormers," to explain this to the satisfaction of
the people, or surrender the;J opposition on this
point also This accumulation Of business here

Here, then, wa see that these seven volumes
show, that of the cases decided in the Court oil
Appeals 364 were deemed worthy to be report
ed and can the reader fail to be struck with
the significant fact that more than TWO
THIRDS of the decisions Of the Circuit Judges
were reversed. These facts establish one OF
two things. If the Judges of the Court of APP
peals decide correctly, then the Circuit Judges
whose decisions they reverse, blunder excessive
~ OF if the Circuit Court Judges decide correct
ly, then the Judges OF the Court of Appeals are
unfit for their places! We have heard intel-
gent Lawyers express opinions on opposite sides
OF the question, and this very circumstance
shows that there is not full confidence in either
of these courts, and proves the necessity of a
change.
Another fact that shows the necessity of Re-
form, is the vast accumulation of business in our
Court OF Appeals both at Richmond and Lewis
burg. In the Preface before referred to, Mr.
Robinson states that f'the number of cases decided
at either place p,thin gear, is NOT equal to the
number Of ne,v appeals aud supersedeas awarded
,cithin the same time. The coil has increased, is
increasing, and ought to be diminiskedn That
this statement is true to the letter, is well prov
ed by the experience and observation of the le-
gal profession, and of persons interested in the
business of this Court of last resort. But a vast
majority of the people have no means of know
ing the precise state Of the docket in this Court.
lat Richmond and Lewisburg,l we present the
following statistics, as found in the Report of
the Clerks, to the Clerk of the House of Dele
gates, for the last year; and which will be found
fully to sustain the statement of Mr. Robinson

his logs but it was all of no use. They would
steal them out of the river, out of the cove, and

A single hearted, simple man.
Stood by rivers side,
And waited that the rolling flood
Might pour away its tide.
An eager hearted, earnest child.
Knelt by the stream of truth,
And wondered how that stream has run
Since time was in its youth.
The river rolled and wasted not,
The traveller turned aside;
The child became thoughtful man,
And still he knewlt and died,

A field is green with sod,
Yet still that silent stream of truth
