FOR AT! Y GEN / N.
MI. Campbell Offers Bill III Sen
ate, to Increase His
Salary.
BILLS OF SENATOR HARTMAN
Tazewcll Man Offers Important
Ones Vacancies on Pcniten-
tiary Committee Filled.

Mr.. Campbell, Of Bedford, offered a
bill yesterday designed to increase the
salary OF the Attorney General OF Vir-
glnia to four thousand dollars per year.
The bill proposes to increase the salary
OF the Acknowledgement from $500 to
81 90 per annum; to increase the salary
OF the clerk to the Attorney-G General
from $500 per annum to $500. Tho con-
tingent expense of the office is left at
$500 The total increase asked is $21C0
per annum for the department, and the
total appropriation for the Attorney
Generals department is $500.
The judges of all the Circuit Courts
now receive the amount asked for the
Attorney General, and the minor en-
pioyes Of the various departments re-
oeive as much as the competent and OK
perienced lawyer employed as clerk. AS
a matter Of fact an attorney seldom ap-
pears In cnsc against the State who
does not receive from corporation an
annual salary largely in excess Of the
salary of the Attorney-General as ut
present, and in many cases attorneys
frequently receive as a fee in single
case before the appellate court sum
in excess of the annual salary OF the
States legal adviser and counsel. The
new Constitution has imposed upon the
5Attorney-G General vast volume OF I'M
portant work, both in the State snnd
Federal Court 1t is a matter OF fabso-
lutte fact, easily susceptible Of matfe,
NAUTICAL proof, that the incumbent has
saved to the State or brought into the
treasury as a result Of victories won In
important revenue cases sum more
than ten-fold greater than his annual
salary. In fact. wonder Is expressed
that a lawyer OF the standard REQUIRED
can be secured to accept the office at
tho present salary. The bill Is almost
sure Of passage. @ 6
