perhaps than any other that concerns us
at present and that is hejudgeship. The
great God of heaven says, through Moses
I" thou shalt not respect the poor man
nor honor the person of the mighty, in
the judgement" now I beg leave to ask
how that man whose heart rankles with
hatred for any class of his fellow citizens,
can make an impartial and II just judge,
how can he sit calmly and listen to the
testimony of witnesses and the argu-
ments of counsel and then with a cool
and equanimous mind pronounce the
just judgement which every honest man
expects from him, its impossible sir.
A good judge must be learned in the
law, he must be a man Of integrity and
of urbane and polished manners, he
ought to know the people among whom
exercises his office and also he known
by them, now another question arises
and that is this, can we not find such a
one in this judicial circuit, or must we
go abroad to look for him, must we bar
barians like, do as Peter the Great OF
in his own country, invited learned men
from all parts of Europe TO come and
teach his barbarous people, if we must,
than l say, let the people OF this circuit
hang their heads in shame. But sir, /
deny that we are under any such neces-
sity, we have thank God plenty OF such
men in our midst, true men, loyal hon
orable and learned in all sorts of !lnowl
edge, there is one now before the people
of this circuit whom am proud to cali
my friend, and who | sincerely believe
comes up to my idea Of a judge, I am
well aware that some traitor of the
minions," has tried to stigmatize him as
disloyal. But remember the words OF
Pope.
Envy does merit rs its shade pursue,
Butlilc the shadow proves the substance true
The gentleman to whom I refer is the
Hon. John w. Kennedy, of this proud
and noble old county of jefferson. have
known Mr.. Kennedy for many years,
and l have had every opportunity since
the commencement of the late rebellion

only unjust but base and contemptible,
Mr.. Kennedy has always been inilexibly

This exhibit indicates what may be
done for West Virginia by immigration,
facilities for Accommodation, and
development Of her resources of forest,
soil, minerals, and water-poWer. A por-
ton of this territory is more precipitous
and rough than the country west of the
mountains; very little is richer in soil
| than the arabic lands of the State gener-
ally; and yet the whole tract, to the
summit of the Alleghanies, is valued at
$l2 "a per acre. Jefferson county, with
an average SOL 81 per acre for farming
lands, almost dou ale the average for the
State of Ohio, illustrates well the market
value Off central position, contiguous
to great markets, over the richest prai-
ries thousands of miles away.
With two and a half million of dollars
in live stock, nearly half million dol
lars yearly in butchers meat, almost q
million pounds of butter, three millions
of bushels Of grain of all sorts, little less
than two hundred thousand pounds of
wool, and other wealth of the farm in
like proportion, in six small counties,
let it not be said that West Virginia is q
poor locality in which to find rural
home.
THE MOUNTAINS.
The mountain section proper has an
elevation from 300 to $500 feet above
the sea level, including Preston, Tucker,
Randolph, Hardy Pendleton, Pocahon-
tas, Greenbrier, and Monroe counties.
Those north of Grcenbrier and west Of
the summit Of the main ridge may APP
propriately be considered together. They
are covered with heavy timber, with isO-
lated patches of improved lands, includ-
ing but 226,632 acres i'll four counties.
Springs are abundant, though compare
atiVely scanty in summer, and fall alb
ruptly over precipitous lodges near their
sources, and expand into quiet rivers,
with occasional rapids in the lower val
leys, forming valuable mill seats.
The soil is excellent for grasses, much
Of it containing good mixture of clay
With different culture it produces from
thirty to fifty bushelsper acre of corn;
in some cases a much larger Yield
Wheat usually gives fifteen to twenty
bushels. But the greatest value exist
beneath the soil, in iron and bituminous
coal, and other minerals.
High among the western ridges of the
Alleghanies, south of the Cheat noun
tains, and between the Alleghanian back
Droop mountains on the other, lies Po-
cahontas county, 76 miles in length by
II to 90 in breadth. The mountain
springs of this elevated region contribute
to swell the waters Of the James, Poto-
mac, Mengetia, Elk, and New rivers,
while the Greenbrier flows through the
entire length of the county, at certain
points through beautiful valley.
In their rough mountain heights, re-
mote from railroads and navigable rivers,
dwell 1888 hardy mountaineers, occupy
ing s2s,92 acres in farms, lless than ten
per cent. improved, worth x2,051 $50.

per acre; highlands under cultivation,
from s. to $50; wild lands, from 25 cents
to $40 per acre. The highlands are in
high esteem as sheep farms, and have
contributed much in this branch of hus-
bandry to the wealth of this region.

ALTITUDE.
The average altitude of the highest
SUBMITS is $500 feet in this section of
the Allegheny range. increasing south
ward. The upper valley of the Kama
wha, instead FLEEING an arid desert like
the Colorado, and other elevated pla-
teaus, is luxuriant in verdure, differing
comparatively little in humidity and
temperature from the Atlantic coast and
the Ohio valley in the same ATTITUDES
indeed, the elevation of the Kanawha is
but $500 feet in southern Virginia near
it's source, descending more than one
hundred miles before it bursts its Allie
ghanian barrier in Monroe county, West
Virginia, where it ranges between 1 800
and 300 feet, thence falling to little
more than 600 feet at the foot of the falls
near the mouth of the Gauley, whence it
flows gently, with the slight descent ola
few inches to the mile, to the Ohio river.
The following table exhibits the eleva-
ton of the Alleghanies and their slopes
in this section of that great mountain
range:
