At present the empire finds itself consoI-

traced out for itself. Submissive to every
right it will protect all interests, with

know how to enforce respect for the national

influence which this great lever oil modern
industry will exert upon the future develop
mcnt of Virginia. The Importance OF coal as
an element of national power and wealth Is best
illustrated in the history OF it's DEVELOPMENT IN
England, whose insu!ar position made her vast
Jsposits at once available. The steam engine
hv means Of which c)al' was first used as mo
live mower was patented in iTG0. At that
time the population OF England was almost
stationary her towns small and i'll built, and
rural districts "dcns for savage men. The
newly discovered power, under the guidance
of British skill and energy, impaired wonder

rev INTO great manu- featuring centres !, her
commerc, extended to every sea, and her pob-
uIation, which had not doubled Tor nearly live
centuries, doubled in less than one. The prin'
cpal deposits of coal heretofore available in the
United States have been in Pennsylvania. bt-

JUDICIARY SYSTEM-MR. STUART's SUG-
GEsT1oNs.--A lawyer from another county hav-
ing requested Hon. A. II. H. Stuart to give
him his views in reference to the judiciary
system which should be adopted by the Lagis-
lature, Mr.. Stuart, in compliance Herewith

Of the Richmond Whig for publication, and it

Of the Legislature. Tho chief evil in the old
system was "VcxatiouS delay in the dispcnsa
lion OF justice, and that evil was caused by
having too many courts possessing concurrent
jurisdiction in regard to common law, chancery
and criminal proceedings" "Thc proper rem.
cdy," says Mr.. Stuart, will he found in ju-
dcious division and distribution Of Jurisdiction
among the courts provided Tor 10y the Constl

law, should have exclusive jurisdiction IN
