CODIFICATION OF THE LAWS.

1t would certainly take half dozen Pbila-
delphia lawyers to tell really what the laws
Of Virginia are. The proceedings Of the
Legislature contain every day references to
amendments to this, that and the other laws
IN varions chapters and sections Of the Code,
which indicate that the laws are SO amended
and changed that it is utterly impossible for
any lawyer to keep posted as to these various
changes 1t would be an act of economy for
the Legislature to appoint Reviewer II the
Laws whose business it would be to devote
his whole time to proper arrangement of
the enactments of that body, and to point
out where conflicts occurred, and repeats were
consummated. We venture the assertion
that there is not lawyer or judge in the
State who has thorough knowledge of the
laws OF Virginia as they now stand. The
absolute necessity for their codiication with
view to making plain what is now obscure
and reducing to system the Jurisprudence Of
the State, mast be apparent to every QUE
In the present muddled condition of the laws,
many persons do not know really when they
do violate them, nor can the lawyers inform
them, until they have employed great por-
ton of their time 10 hunting up the statute |
apple lble to the case We think it would |
be moaay well spent. to appoint competent
lawyer with good salary. whose sole bust
ness it should be to reduce the laws passed to
a close system and clear them Of all encum-
r .uc.

Gov. Walker and Judge Underwood.

The Governor of Virginia uses very plain
language in his official communications. He
drives straight to the point he is after. In
a recent message to the Lcgis ature referring
to the work of the Attorney Generals office,
the Governor says that Office has had charge
Of some cases Of exceptional character He
says:
"Some of these cases involved questions of
jurisdiction between the State and Federal
courts of great delcacy and of the highest i'm
portance. very latitudnarian construction
of his functions and supervisory powers seems
at one time to have passed the judge who pre-
sides over the Federal District Court of this
district, and the decisions of our State courts
we're set at naught or brushed away by sin
gle wave of his judicial wand Our prisons
were invaded by his officers. armed with pro
cesses issued by his order. and criminals tried
and convicted by our State courts for the vio-
iatlon OF State laws were turned loose upon
The community in reckless disregard of law
precedent and authority When information
OF these transactions came to MY knowledge
directed the attorney general to institute
such proceedings as would vndicate the au-
s'iorfty OF the State, and teach the viotators
Of our laws. whether On the bench OF off of it
that such acts could not be committed with
inipunity; and it affords me much gratihca.
ton to state that he performed the duty as.
signed him ably, fearlessly and successfully"

HEDarNd.-Thc Liberal Republicans have
changed the day of the national convention in
Cincinnati from the 9th of May to the goth
OF June. The reason assigned for this is that
the developments Of popular dislike in the
Republican party may result in the defeat of
Gen. Grant for denomination before the Phil
adelphla Convention, which meets on the 5th
OF June. and the nomination of candidate
for President who the Liberal Kepubli-
cans can endorse. In this event, there will
be but one Republican ticket in the field. 1t
the Philadelphia Convention adopts the Mis-
souri, Platform and place on it man who
can be trusted to carry out the policy it FORE
shadows there will not be much reason Tor
an opposition nomination.
