many persons suffering for tile want
of IL. No coal is being received. on
account Of the SNOW blockade, and the
sinai stock In the hands of the dealers
has jumped TO u ton.
No wood can be had on account of

The attorneys OF this State are mi
earnest about the matter, rs In the
present deplorabla condition of the
Judiciary there are many who are
holding important cases back, with
the nope OF a change. If the bill!
should pass and the Judges refuse tot
avail themselves OF its provisions, the
Governor will doubtless lie called
upon to exercise the power that is
vested In him in Section IA, OF the Con-
stltution, which provides that:
The Governor may, for any reason-I
able cause. In his discretion, remove
any OF them, (the Judges on the adj
dress OF two thirds Of nil the mem bersI
