There is lact which should not be
over lookeA which is that it costs the
Central Company far more to furnish cars
at Gordonsville and transport the Alexan-

does to transport tor the same dirtance
starting from Richmond. The character
| Of the trade from Gordonsvlle is such that
the cars WHICH are carried UP loaded do
not generally furnish sufficient accomoda-
ton for their own freight that has to come
down TO Richmond. Il would therefore
become necessary to haul empty cars all the

California Morals.

With the advance OF CIVILIZATION and re-
finrment follows the suppression Of vice
and immortality. No where is theipower Of
virtue over vice, and the predominance Of
the be traits OF human nature over the
evil propensities Of man. more stiikingly
exemplifed than in Ca lifornia. Vice,for a
season, run its mad course, contain mating
with its foul touch, Law, Religion and
Politics. Sinks Of inquity sprung up un-
der the fostering Of iegislation,an The very
hearthstone where religion claimed su-
premacy, were desecrated by the blighting
tread Of pollution and prostitution. De-
bauchery aud mob law seemed to const-
.ute the prevailing element, Of soclety.-
Men fell suppiiants before the shrlnes OF
Mammon and Bacehrs. forgetting that
they had God to fear, and society, re-
fined and cultivated. to form. The mighty
dollar blinded yitue, and the fatal draught
gave unbridlsd ssYay to the behests of
vice. Order, quiet and security, gave wa.
to disorder, confusion aud DESPERATION
Individual rights were measured and adj
justed by the estimate of brute force. The
sanctity af the Sabbath was overlooked in
the excitement Of the gaming table, the
horse race. the bull fight, aud the na!iti-
clans noisy and sacrilgeous appeals. Ii
was known only as day Of rejoicing AID
pleasure to the libertne and prostilT.e.-
Indeed. California, from Interpretations
five years ago, was The dsguerrsotype of
Pandemonium.
But time works wonders. Vice, in
obedience to the instincts Of the hearts
virtue, and the laws Of God and man, will
soon terminate its own check. The re-
action, in California, has already CONNIE ne
ed. The vile haunts Of the lawless and
dvbauched are being hunted down. The
abodes of prostitution and dissipation are
disappearing before the march Of refine
ment. And Law the great conservatof Of
order, is asserting Its supremacy. Che
people-the great subStratum OF all Jaw
the great ground work of all order-the
basis Of society-the mamma Of health,
public sea:iment--arr awakening TO the
true condition of the morals Of the State,
and are moving, through their delegated
agents, 10 blot cut the foul spots which
infect the face Of society and rob it OF its
charm and attraction. A bill has recently
passed the legislature prohibiting La,ba.
rous and noisy amusements on the Lord $
day. Another bill has been reported, and
will likely pass prohibiting public gam
bling. Another to restrict the sale and
use of alcoholic spirits, and one to prohibit,
Iafiles, and gift enterprises has passed the
lower house; aud bill suppressing hous-
es Of ilI-fame. has passed both branches Of
the House.
Thus, vice is yielding to virtue. Pub
lie sentiment is calling loudly for a wen
regulated State OF society. A healthy con-
diton OF morals is receiving its ground
work, and soon we may number the anrif-
erous star of the Pacific among communal
