During a conversation with one Of
the Circuit Court Judges, who called
yesterday, TO express his appreciation
Of the suggestions which the Register
has been urging upon the Revisory
Committee relative to reforming our
jury system, we took occasion to say
that the Register is simply taking
upon itself, in this behalf, u work
which more properly belongs to the
Judges and members Of the bar, and
which Is forced upon 1t by their neg
lecL Of duty.
There is no class of citizens more
interested in and of course none
more familiar With, the imperfections
OF our judiciary system and their re-
form, than the judges and the law
yers, yet strange to say, the eminent
Judge to whom we refer-and one
whom report says is doing grand
work In his circuit toward getting
business out Of the Anticipated ruts
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of the past
is AYERS. to taking an active part in
urging the reforms which he admits
to be so essential.
In our opinion it is a very false
view OF propriety, and also Of duty
on the part OF our Circuit judges to
stand aloof and withhold their adj.
vice and assistance from the work of
correcting the defects Of our court
practice.
If they do not lend their aid who
will? The average legislator cannot
make these reforms because he is
lacking in experience and knowl.
edge Of the subject matter. We have
been hammering at the Legislature
tor the last twenty-fopr months on
this subject, but We might as well
have talked Dutch to a goose or
spread n panorama for the blind
The spirit was willing but the head
was weak. How can men undertake
10 leglslate upon an abstrnse science
about which they know not one
thing?
But we have now come to n point
in our legislative history when an
opportunity is opened for these re
forms to be made. The matter is in
the hands of committee composed
Of able lawyers, who know the de.
fects of our court practice and are
competent to deal with them. If
they do not realize them fully they
can comprehend them when pointed
out, and they are expecting and de.
string suggestions from members of
the Bench.
If there is one duty above another
which this committee owes to the
State it is to give special attention
to matters connected with our court

In 1869 West Virginia produced
60S,S7S tons of coal; in 1880 her mines
yielded 100000 tons. If black dia-
monds were trumps, now, the noun
tain State could show something of a
hand. What will she be when the
rail roads now projected through the
State are completed? Development
and an outlet to market, is all West
Virginia needs to make her one Of
the greatest States in the Union.

West Virginia has but few rail roads

why it is so, for this little mountain

valleys the richest deposits Of iron

was an outlet to market. While we

Clerical OratOry.

Why do not our preachers study ora
tory! As preachers, not pastors, their
business is to work certain effect, and
all helps to It's production, it should be
part of their education to learn. pre-
sumo | shall not be misunderstood to
mean the effect of displaying self, and
winning admiration for personal gifts.
What the true preacher seeks to do is to
inform the intellect with Christian truth;
to stir the heart, and thereby influence
the will Of MS hearers. Half the ser
mons annually preached are, so far as
human insight goes, waste of labor and
breath. Two things partly account for
this; one is that majority of the men
set to preach are out of their real vOca-
tion-good pastors they may be, but fit
preachers they are not; another is that
those with more aptitude for preaching
do not yet understand the means to be
employed to attain their object.
Sometimes the preacher has some con-
ception of the needs of human nature,
and knows that the truest truths fail to
move when put before men in dull, dry
way; perhaps he does his best to acquire
good style, and succeeds in making an
ably written discourse. But when he
comes into his pulpit to give it to his
people, where is the impression it should
produce? What becomes of his choice
words, his considered sentences? There
they lie upon the page he holds; he pro-
ceeds to read them. Why do they fail.
of any resultl 1t is for want of delivery,
of the oratorical art of making mere
words s'tell" His faithful effort goes
for little, he seems to his bearers to be
reading something to them, as he is
not to be speaking to them 1Iom the
heart.
