the GROUND OF ASSAULT.

The validity OF this statute Is assalled by
the Board OF Supervisors on the ground
that it is repugnant to the fifteenth section
Of Article V. Of the Constitution, which
ordains that "nO law shall embrace more
than one object, which shall be expressed IN its
nile" The contention is. that not only Is
the object of the Get not embraced in It's TILE,
hut that the title and the body OF the act are
in irreconcilable conflict. In other words,
that the title pUrports to authorize one
thing to be dOue-namely. to allow further
lime Ia the Treasurer Of Henrico county TO
make dellnquent returns-and that the BODY
of the act authorizes another and very differ
emf thing TO be done-n0mely, TO allow the
late Treasurer to make supplementary re-
turns. ,,,..,,,.,
Tins position Is well taken. The conStltu'
tional nrovisiou above quoted Is not dlrec-
torv merely, but mandatory, and Is as much
= subject OF judicial cogu!zance as any other
nroylsion IN the Constitution. AS was SAID
unon n similar point by the supreme Court
Of Georgia: {" II tue courts would refuse 10
execute law suspendrng the writ OF hdoeds

o1,ire If a law vioiatory Of the freedom OF

DfG-SrOEE GAP.
some Facts About what II Said TO
be the Coming tity OF the
Southwest.

The stockholders oi the Big.Stone Gap
Improvement Company, who were IN session
at the Exchange Hotel for two days, adj
iourned last evening after the transaction OF
much important business. The gentlemen
present represented quite "A number OF diff
ferent corporations which have consolidated
their holdings OF land at Big.StOne Gap into
an improvement company for the purpose OF
building up and promoting the growth OF
the expected town at the Gap.
The following were elected directors OF
the company: X. A. Ayers; james W. Fox,
OF New York; william d. Jones, OF Phila'
delpbia; John NJ. Bailey, Of Bristol; M. Is.
Wood, OF Estilyi l.; j. +. Bulli;t, OF Big
Stone Gap; and Charles I. Ballard, oil
Louisville, Ky.
Immediately upon the adjournment OF the
stockholders meeting the Board OF Directors
met and unanimously elected Hon. Il. A.
Ayers president and elected the other subor-
dinate officers.
A large portion OF the land has been sur
veyed and laid out into lots, and the COM
pany will commence selling very soon.
Big-Slone Gap is in Wise county, about
ten miles distant from the Kentucky line,
and derives its name from very remarkable
natural feature--namely, the gap IN Cumber-
land mountain through which flows the
north fork Of PowelPs river. Ii derives its
importance and great prospective future
from several causes-yiz.: 1t Is situated
within two miles OF the great coking coal
region, which at that point covers more than
fifty square miles, and contains number oil
beds-One eight feet thick, one twelve feet,
one five feet, and several smaller but OF
workable thickness. The natural outlet
for this coal is through Big Stone Gap, snd
II Is claimed that by actual test it makes a
coke stronger, lower In sulphur and ash,
and higher In carbon than even the cele-
brated Connellsyille Goals. Commencing
one mile south OF the Gap and extending
distance Of twenty miles or more are two
parallel bodies OF iron ore-one a hematite
such as is found near Birmingham, and the
other and much more valuable area OF oris-
kany ore, which Is so per cent. pure iron,
very low in phosphorus aud sulphur, and
averages fourteen feet in thickness.
In addition to the minerals the Gap Is In
the centre OF the largsst area OF hard and
soft-woOd timbers east OF the Mississippi.
There are three roads in course OF active
construction toward the Gap-the South At
lanuc and Ohio. the Norfolk and Western
extension from Graham, Va, and the Louis
VILE and Nashville extension from Plneyille,
Ky. In addition TO these ro,ds the Eastern
Kentucky, the Kentucky Union. and the
Three C.'s road are all pointed in the direc-
lion Of the Gap, with the prospect OF being
completed In the near future.
