ToMe Eattors Of the Times:
GENTLEMEN-P9rmtm me to state proposition
and to make an enquiry consequent upon it, of
general interest to the citizens of Richmond, with
the hope of eliciting public sentiment, and
your own vieMs upon the subject, feeling
very sure that you are inclined to advocate what
you consider the best interests of the people.
state it then to be correct proposition, that no
individual OF corporate body should be held re-
sponsible for the accomplishment of public
trusts, without the power of executing those
trusts, by means Of controlling their agents and the
privilege of choosing them If so, then, [ in
quire, if the city charter now pending before the
Legislature, should not be so modified as to give
to the City Council the election of all those Off
GERS whose duties prescribed by them, and
are, or ought to be, accountable to the Council for
all disbursements for local purposes and for which
the Council have to levy the taxes! The Coun-
ell, it must be remembered, being accountable to
the peorle, for the folly or wisdom of their mea-
sures, which usually judged of, it is known,
by the way in which their plans are executed
Is it proper, therefore, to make all the city of
ficers eligible by the City Council except the
Mayor, Assessor, Collector of City Taxes, Ser
geant, High Constable, Gauger and Measurer of
Grain! These officers, besides being in part ac-
countable to the Council have also a great deal of
direct intercourse with the people.

Information has been received from Charles
Graebe, Esq, U. S. Consul for Hesse Cassel,
Hessee Darmstadt, and Hanover, that in conse-
quence of the general deficiency of the last crop of
grain, and the high price occasioned thereby, the
States composing the Zoll-Verein of Germany
have passeda Decree that from the first of the pre-
sent month to the first of September next grains,
legumes. and flour can be imported iato the Zoll-
Verein free of duty.
The import duty grain previous to the said
decree was about seven cents bushe, and that
on flour amounted to prohibition, being two dol
lars and fifty cents per barrel.

Commonwealth rs. anthony ID. Victor.-The
prisoner, who stands charged with shooting lad
named John Gates, in the Valley, on Tuesday
evening of last week, was yesterday examined
before the Mayor, and sent on for trial. Gates
swore positively to the shooting, as already de-
tailed and also to the identity of Victor's person.
The prisoner will, we understand, endeavor to
prove an atibi before the Hastings Court; but we
imagine he will find it difficult task to disprove
the positive testimony of the lad, who it is pro-

LOCAL ENTELLIGENCE

The STABBING cAsE.-James Martin was yes
terdaY examined before the Mayor on the charge
ofhaving stabbed Thos Anigon in an alfruy in Ca
ry street, Sunday evening, tho 18th inst. The
woundcdman having died, his Honour, afterhe
ing the testimony of several eye-witnesses of the
affair sent the prisoner on for examination before
the April term ofthe Hastings Court. 1t is only an
act of simple justice to the accused to say that if
the testimony those who witnessed the ARRAY
be reliable, and we do not question it, he will
be enabledto make out pretty clear case of self
defence.
