BAaK OF ltumor, which, like
the newspapers, never lies, says that Cave

of Tennessee. Our democratic friends have
not had good nip at the institution for

the change will not result in Il practical illus

RICHMOND AND YoRK RIVER RArLRoAD.-We
have beenrequested to say that books of subsc,ip-
ton to the stock Of the Richmond and York River
Railroad will be opened to day at the American
Hotel in this city. The act Incorporating the
company leaves the terminus of the road
to the decision of the sto ckh olders, and as
the State takes three ffths of the stock,
she will of COURSE, exercise controlling influence
In the matter. Public opinion here appears to
be Somewhat divided upon the propriety of con.
structing the road at ALL as well as upon the
point most suitable as a terminus; but we ap.
prehend little difficulty will be experienced in
obtaining the requisite amount OF subscriptions.
Tue road will traverse level and fertile
try, and can be constructed at comparatively
small expenditure per mile.
MAYORS CoURT.-Not single white subject
was brought up from the cage yesterday. Quite
number OF negroes, however were arraigned Tor
venial offences-all of whom were disposed of in
the most approved manner. One stout fellow, II
slave named Sam, was hauled up for assaulting a
fellow servant some ten days ago, at the of
10th and Byrd streets. with stone. The cas.,
though knotty one, was speedily unraveiled by
his Honour; and as it appeared that the complain
ant was quite as culpabe as the defendant, he or
dered the officers to introduce both parties to a
certain post in the yard belonging to the city
jail.
We are beginning already to experience tho
good effects resulting from the frnness, activity,
and decision Of the newly installed Mayor Moth
l. IL. a.
ty of punishment tends to lessen the commits
sion of crime the present Mayor having
acted Prosecuting Attorney for number OF
years in the Hastings Cou TT, and having always
discharged his whole duty in that connection, his
very name has become a terror to evil-doers;
consequently we may safely felicitate ourselve,
upon the pleasant prospect before us. He will
faithfully execute the laws; no offender brought
before him, be h is position in the social scale
ever elevated or SO humble, will be permitted
to escape the punishment justly due his crimes.
Thoroughly versed as he is, in the subtleties Of
the law. he may safely bid defiance to the nge-
nuity OF table counssllors." No loop-holes will
be found 10 any of his forms.
But there are other wholesome effects resulting
from the induction of the new Mayor into office,

The Hon. VIM. A. Grahnm was near being
killed on the 18th instant, on his way from Ra-
leigh to Hillsborongh, North Carolina. He got
out of his buggy to arrange some part of the har-
ness. when his horse took fright and ran off,
throwing him down and drawing the wheel of the
buggy over him. Fortunately this occurred near
the place where some hands were at work on
the railroad and one of them assisted him home,
which he reached about 10 O'Clock at night. 1t
was found that he was severely bruised and cut
upon the face and other parts of his body. We
are happy to learn that he is improving, and we
hope that he will soon entirely recover from the
injury.

THE ENQUIRER ON THE PUBLIC
LANDS.

LANDS.
The Enquirer in its discussion of the public
land question, speaks in contemptuous and scorn-
full terms of the .'wretched pittance" allotted to
Virginia under Benefits distribution bill. l.
admits, however, that at the present prices of
land warrants. these lands would bring into our
treasury the sum of $2,55O,O00. We leave it
to the people to decide whether they can afford in
their present state of Indebtedness, and with a
heavy and increasing load of taxation their
shoulders, to despise and reject the of two
millions and half of dollars. We will not argue
the question with contemporary, whether
this amount of money is worth having. 1t is
purely matter of taste, and about tastes there
can be no dispute. But Bennett's bill leaves one
billion three hundred and forty millions of acres
of the public domain still undsposed of. Apply
the principles of that bill to the remainder, and
what would te Virginia's share thereof!-
The reader can make the calculation for himself.
He will find, we think, that under any tolernbly
fair system of distribution, our States share
of this great national property would not fall short
of 7O,000,0O0 millions of acres. Is this, too, a
'.wretched pittance 7" Will the Enquirer I'M
dertake to convince the people of Virginia that
this too is pitifu fund.- unworthy of their notice
and acceptance
But the Enquirer opposes distribution on COO.
ssitutiona grounds, and urges its party to stand
by their ancient faith 1t denou the extrava-
CANT grants of land that have been made to the
new Suites as an abuse, an outrage and a fraud,
and calls on the old States to arrest and frown
down the system. But what do the F,nquirer's APP
peals avail? Does not the history of the past
| conclusveIy demonstrate that its own party can
not be rallied in opposition to the laud grabbing
policy! Has not that journal itself told us, 10
