New subjects for legislation are now presented

right; amendments and additions to the franchise
law are recommended, but am by no means an
advocate for its repeal, do the loyal people OF

restoration of civil law has worked well; pros
perty is promised in every section; guilty rebels
should be treated with severity in proportion to
their offense, the rank with fewer than ten
years Acknowledgement, the leaders with neither
mercy nor forbearance; immigration should be
fostered and encouraged, and a commission sta
toned at the East to secure a numerous foreign

vocates the setting apart some portion of the ma

mended to be taken in all the courts on the same

CIRCUIT CouR--The case of the State W
John Wilcox, for stealing gold watch from a
policeman, at the Union Depot last summer. va,
tried yesterday in the Circuit Court.
The defense was ably managed by Messrs
Lowe 4 McCord and il is but fair 10 say they
made the most of very hopeless case The
evidence all tended TO clearly establish the gull,
of the prisoner. but shrewd engineering the
part of his attorneys made out very r,ild case
and consequently the prisoner was sentenced only
two years to the penitentlary The thief may
thank his stars in having had eloquent talk in his
behalf else ne would certainly have gone up for
the full term provided by the statute.
Mr. McCord's speech in the defense was 4
highly creditable effort and augurs well for his
future professional success.
