lions that there s yet no reliable map OF Virginia, and
but few materials TO begin one except, indeed, tae
trial ulstions of Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic
coast, which form a part Of the Coat Survey, and
which would iurnish e1celen, basis FOX complete

arms hut no miia-tbe organization Of the old sys-
ten being destroyed by repeal Of its vital part.
The volunteer system has proved perfect failure.
There are but two companies of oava'y AID two of
artillery in the State. The Governor hicks that the
niurrec:ioD panic OF last year was totally unfounded,
but il proved the necessity Of iome military .yatem
Twas Ian en,sble TO see the weakness betrayed by

The Govern doubts whether the rpecia! tax OF
81 900 levied on he flee negroes, nom uay for colo
piza on purposes but Of which only very small part
ia 50 spent, is constitutional. The new Constitution
provides it seemf that all taxes thall be equs! and
uniform. Yet at the same time be recon- nends that
no free negro ,hs be allowed to hold LAM beyond
su all lumber OF for homestead, nor any house
or let in city or town, and tbat they be prohibited
from holding slaves or 10, ding money "on interest
to whie person. The particular motives of this pro-
posed legislation are no; specified 1t would seern to
indicate that the free negroes of Virginia are s,qurng
property too fast and that the idea of the incspacty
Of reeroes to take Of themselves needs to be co.
forced by little special legislation II such sgiela-
ton is constitutional, We should think the Governor
might con.live to swallow the tsx.
The law for the search of vessels to detect runaway
slaves applies only to vessels psrg out bet ~een the
Cspes Of the Chesapeake. The Governor thinks it
ought to be extended to those bound up the bay.
Many slaves escape by that route. He slso recon-
NEEDS the appointment Of additional Inspectors under
that law
