Mortality amongiChildr en-.

To THr EDITORS OF TIE TRIBUNE
With great reason YOU call attention TO
the high rate Of mortality prevailing every Summer,
among the Young children of this city Last week
Ipe!ceive more than half the whole number OF deaths
was among children under tiro years Of age. The
,mror,ant questions areTo what is tins owing, and
how shall It be remedied In the first place, seeing
wha, constitute The diseases 10 which these children
were victims 1t Will be readily admitted that con-
duement IN unwholesome localities, want of free
ventilation. and deficiency IN opportunities 10 get
frtshmeni and yIgor by reSortng TO open grounds,
is erea, cause # not the principal one, o,he differ
ence IN this respect between the deaths OF ms class
Of the population here and in country places. Hence
the importance OF adopting promptly such regu'
lationS rs shall counteraci the evils complained
OF, and which are not duly regarded by the
community Hence the manifest advantage OF
increasing the number OF our Parks and shady
resorts To what has been done IN this way
much should vet be added, as early practicable,
and before the grounds are further pTeOccuped.
There should be an Open shady square, of reasona-
bic SIZE within a fourth third OF a mile Of The
residence Of every inhabltant !, would cOnduce
abundanty to the comfort, the health the pecunlaIy
interest OF all. Without going INTO other calcula-
tons. lei me inquire no" soon wouio the iuiefAi
charges incurred BY tins mortality pay for plenty OF
health giving Parks IN cur midst Here is the SIM
plest pqonsU of the question. Viii not now
advert 10 the estimates OF loss IN " men hat c0nsN-
tute a State" and our consequent reiardation IN
prosperity by thus cutting of the supply AT It's
source nor Will / extend my remarks, al tins time,
BY speaking of the subject in us many other impor

in the next year, to prove, in striking manner,
its Importance to tine country and to Richmond.
We trust the effort now making in Halifax to
raise subscriptions to the stock, will be speed,
ly successful, so that contracts for work to be
done in that county, may be executed at the end
of the year.
Considering the short distance for which the
Danville railroad has been in operation, its receipts
have been very fiattering.

TILE TIMES, TERN
THE NEW VOTE.

Politicians are now anxiously calculating the
effect of the new vote upon the future politics OF
the State. If the Wing party is properly prepared
for the issue by active organization, we have
no fear that we shall lose by the mighty change
which the amended constitution has supernduced.
On the contrary, we are persuaded that the ex~
tension of the right of suffrage will bring to the
polls thousands of intelligent young Wings, who
have heretofore stood aloof and cared not to Sc
cure votes from very despair of their individual
votes effecting a change of the Democratic
thraldom which we have SO long endured.
As matter of particular interest to our readers
in this Congressional district, we have prepared
the following table from the census, and from
document printed for the State Convention,
showing the number of white males and females
over 81 years of age in each city and county Of
the State. This document was relied upon by
the body as furnishing basis for estimating the
voting population of each county and district
1t is, however, we suspect not perfectly accurate;
for the number of white adult males it allows to
Richmond seems to be much too large. In the
fourth column of the table, we give the number
constituting one fifth of the white population of
each county; as it is generally assumed that one
fifth of the whole are pOters

- A Great Fair is announced TO take place at Corpus
Christi on the LIST of May. The master spirit of the
movement is Col KINNEY. 1t is estimated that be-
tween twenty and thirty thousand strangers will be
on the spot. The Now Orleans Picayune, auding to
the matter, says "Io afford amusement for the throng
the Mexlcans will bring their buI-6ghters, their
chicken cocks, and therfandango dancers with them;
theatrical and circus companies have been sent for
from this way; and track, where horses from all
quarters may contend, is to be constructed A treaty
is even in progress with the great Barnum move
his menagere OUT while regattas, for which the beau
tliul Bay of Corpus Christi is admirably adapted, will
further enhance the sports. All these combined with
the fact that every endeavor will be made to collect a
large share OF the productions of both Mexico and the
United States, will certainly have the effect of gather
ing an immense crowd"
