.4sudge Grace is now the nominee OF

Eleventh judicial circuit. and the col

when there is no greater provocatlon
than that he had addressed the chief

OF course it would have been in bet,

The Virginia School Report for 1901,

Judge Clarence Campbell, TO the sur
prise and indignation generally Of tie
people of the State, has been acquitted
by jury of Amherst county of the
charge of assault upon DR.. Crawl, I'd.
No explanation is given of the way in
which the jurors arrived at such YER
dict and in the light of the evidence sub
mitted at the trial none will be attempt
ell by them. They will probably be con
tent to allow the public to make up theiI
own con illusions in the matter, rather
than admit, either that they ignored the
law and evidence at the trial or had not
the capacity to arrive at correct yer
dict in the case The fact that Judge
Campbell admitted upon the witness
stand that he had been guilty of an act
of overt lawlessness, for which our stat
utes provide penalty, did not seem to i'm
press them even with the important
duty committed to their hands and what
justice and decency demanded of them.
Judge Campbell may have been severely
provoked by Mr.. Crawford but that
being true, he had no sort of excuse or
justification, his official position being
considered, for the act committed by
him,Or did it give to the jury any ground
for tempering justice with mercy in ar
irving at their verdict. He did not de-
serve clemency at their hands, and it is
not surprising, that the voice of indig-
nant protest goes up from all over the
State against them and their verdict is
everywhere so generally denounced.

hope that what have written may,
to some extent, enable the reader to
realize the Importance Of this ques-
tion Of species, and to understand why
so much attention has been directed
to these small groups of animals and
plants. 1t is obvious that before the
question of the origin of species was
admitted. the question of the origin
of the larger groups of orders, classes,
etc., was not one for consideration,
as obviously the less cannot include
the greater. Therefore, apart from
to condemn idle speculation as akin
to what is called "building castles in
the air''-apart from mere guessing,
there could be no definite knowledge
regarding the true relations of the an
imal kingdom as a whole. When
once the question of species had been
even partially explained. the key to
the whole subject was at hand.
This accounts for the immense inter
est excited in the scientific world
when Darwin and Wallace, absolutely
Independently, but at the same time,
discovered the process of natural selec-
tion. When "The Origin Of Species
was published in 1859, the curiosity of
a much wider opinion as revolution
lied. In the "Origin of Species" Oar
win suggested cause which, while
acting very slowly, yet acting with
certainty, would, by extremely slow
degrees, be easily able, provided there
was sufficient time, to produce changes
great enough to account for specific
differences That cause Darwin named
Natural Selection.
I have already referred to the direct
personal influence of Sir Charles Lyell
on Darwin's s scientific development. I
may here point out that Lyell's work
as geologist was decidedly prepara-
tive, though unconsciously so, to Oar
wins teaching. By showing and en-
phasizing the fact that geological
changes, even those which appear to
US of stupendous magnitude had been
brought about gradually by slowly
acting causes, he prepared the way
for similar views regarding changes
in animals and plants-in other words,
he proved that the great differences
between the various animals and be-
tween the innumerable plants had been
