DISTRIBUTION.

In distributing this amount thus saved
to the Treasury among the circuit Judges
Il would not do 10 increase the salaries
OF the Judges recently elected, who are
members OF the pres at Legislature, be-
cause of section s OF article " OF the
State Constitution, which would be thereby
violated and as the salaries OF the judge.
OF the Richmond Circuit. and OF the Roa
noke Circuit, are supplemented by the
cities of Richmond and Roanoke These
circuits could be without injustice elimi
mated from the calculation. This would
leave thirteen circuits, and the amount
would be sufficient TO increase the salaries
of the Judges of the four largest circuits
that is the First, Second, Fourth, and
Thirteenth. TO $500 and of the nine smaller
circuits to 1900
The Governor has urgently recommended
that these salaries be increased. all mer
recognize the propT1ety OF doing so, anC
the people will approve. because II would
need no explanation or defence and would
be right IL has been delayed only be-
cause the judges are too careful of tho
dignity OF the offices they hold TO organize
a lobby In their own interest. The time
has now come when the State can act
without increasing the burdens Of the
people
The time is very short II anything Is &c
be done at this session of the Legislature
What is to be done must be done quickly.

REPEAL SECTION 1926 OF THE CODE
How the Saiayies of the Circuit Judges
May BE Increased.
To the Editor Of the Dispatcl

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In the repeal OF the law permitting per-
sons charged with feionies punishable ~
Court, the General Assembly has taken
wise step towards retrenchment and
economy in the criminal expenses. And
the repeal OF this law relieves the At
torneys for the Commonwealth OF most Of
their official duties I'm the circuit courts.
II another step IS taken in the same d.
rection, that Is To allow writs OF error
directly from the county courts La the
Court OF Appeals. we shall have a spe'elier
and more economical administrator of the
criminal law. and the Attorneys for the
Commonwealth viii have no duties what
ever 10 perform In the circuit courts.
Under section 1896 OF the Code the At
torneys for the Commonwealth receive from
the State Treasurer for their services In
the Circuit Court over $500. These al
lowances, $50 in each county and city and
$40 In Richmond city, and SO In the city
of Norfolk and county of Norfolk, are
over and above their fees In each case they
try; and the liberal allowances paid by
each county and city out of the local
treasures. There is probably not n Com
monweslth's Attorney i'm the State whose
income does not very largely exceed the
salary OF a circuit judge. Many Of them
receive more from the fees and SALARY OF
the Office, but in addition to these allow
ances, they all have the privilege and the
time to practice law. Under these cir
cumstances they will hardly be so ungen-
erous as TO oppose the repeal of the sec
ton referred TO very strenuously. II
they do they ought not to in the judgment
Of the writer.

LONDON, Aug. lS.-The Field, to-

letter against the Vigilant which
is said to be true reflection OF
English comments heard on all
sides, but which have not yet APP
peared in print. The writer
of the letter says international
courtesy has been overdOne
and especially, as, in his views,
courtesy is not reciprOcated. 1t is
asserted the Americas cup was
defended by a construction"
which in no way conformed to the
British ideas Of the yacht and that
the shifting Of ballast was used
during the cup races. The letter
then recounts certain alleged
violations by the Vigilant, of the
British Yacht association rules, as
to wooden bulkheads, fittings, ETC.,
and says the Vigilant was not
measured until British patience
was exhausted. The writer in
the Field asks if the Vigilant
is to be allowed to break every rule
with Gan empty shell for a hull,
which is ineligible, to compete
with racing yachts and with a
crew of English sailors" In conclu-
sion the Vigilant's critic remarks
that the Britishers boast in their
national pride of "British ship,
