LEGAL ORATORE.
one OF the Flights Recently Taken in
the CiFcnif Court.

On Wednesday, in suit in the Circuit
Court OF the city of Richmond, one OF
the counsel for the complainant filed a
note of argument, from which the fol-
lowing extracts are taken. The first
paragraph is suggestive of Evarts, while
the rest is couched III a style altogether
original and refreshing"
Fifth. This Is a TemcdiGis statute
the evil complained of-and in the legisla-
tive mind was the removal, owing to the
misfortune or bad management Of cor
porate authorities, without any act OF a
citizen along tine line of road, of the liti-
cation, which State policy for many rea-
sons uniformly required to be IN certain
counties or corporations, to the trouble,
expense, and annoyance OF plaintiffs
and all witnesses aud others interested,
and helping only the railroad. which.
improving on the Roman Emperor S
plan of putting laws too high to
be read, succeeded in having suits
tried Oh heights almost inaccessi-
ble and charged the plaintiff and each
witness for each step every time they
toiled up the laborious slope.
This evil Virginia first complained
of. and the Government and the Congress
of the United States have tried to
remedy, and though the act may not be
so perfectly accurate as Others which fol-
low and adopt language, discussed, fixed,
and improved by State after State, yet
tho voice OF the Legislature gives forth
no uncertain sound.
at may he that some OutrageS AS
have been perpetrated by receivers. as
the noted case of charging one oil com
panv 10 ceuts per barrel and others 80
cents and paying the Standard % cents
of the amount collected OF others, has
operated to bias the legislative mind, yet
the Legislature has made the law and the
courts have to construe it literally, beng
a remedial statute. and carry out the
legislative intent.
+" Sixth. We contend, however, for
strict construction-that all means
oil and dnV means any, that shall
means shall, and that no principal OF law
or decision of any court can be adduced
in favor of narrowing down the fifth sec
ton illiberally and unnecessarily; and
this in order simply and solely to give
corporations that unfortunately cannot,
or fraudulently will not, pay their debts
special and peculiar advantages over in
diyiduals and other corporations whose
shields are blotted by no stain of insol-
vency. 80.
Public policy and statute-law in this
case demand alike that corporate au-
thority shall no longer be tempted IRON

prompt payment Of debt to a bed strewn
with roses and periumed with odors Of
Oriental incense going up from censers

solvency shall no longer clothe itself
with receivers as with royal robes and
shall take its place among the toiling
multitude who pay their debts and are

answer complaints OF all parties whose
claims they dispute /; and that allowing
