We must gay. however. that the scheme Is
original in this: that whereas heretofore
people everywhere and always have desired
that, il possible, 4 frontage on salt WAFER
shorld be possessed by their States, the val
lev would. crb-like, travel backwards ana
away from the sea in joining herself TO Nc>'

The County Courts.

A letter from Major KELLY, Of the tloise
of Delegates, to his paper, has the following
members from Southwest Virginia say
they will not vote for al extension unless inc
present County Court system is Virtually
destroyed. An early adjournment WI mol
give time for the election Of County judge,
and they look to the next Assembly for such
legislation as will destroy The present County
Court system"
We are not ut all afraid to incur the ri>k
which cur Southwestern friends wish TO I'M
pose upon Us. Perhaps the best thing thai
could lie done would be to adopt their TIL
clustering scheme as Il compromise, since
under the Constitution the County Judges
will continue to hold office until their success
sors are elected ana qualified. Such 4 course
would enable the people at the blilot-tioNto
pass upon the question Of the destruction OF
the County Courts. If they wish to deprive
themselves Of 50 useful Il court we shall moi
object. We do Object, however, tn the ah"sI-
ton of that court without their consent.
