PROHIBITION OF LOCOMOTIVES IN THE
CITY THE Common Council at its meeting
last evening, prohibited the use of Locomo-
tives in the city after the first of October
next, directing that horses shall be used on
the track on Wide Water street. We ques-
ton the propriety of this prohibition at this
time 1At
Under ordinary and prosperous circum-
stances, such prudential measure would re-
ceive the approval Of all; but at present, we
are inclined to dissent from the action OF the
Council. The measure will tend to embar
rass the operations of the Norfolk and Peters
burg Rail Road Company, by subjecting it to
very heavy expense, in purchasing and pro-
viding for the sustenance of tie necessary
number of horses, rendering necessary an adj
ditional number of extra hands to attend
them This road is in no condition at pre-
sent to incur these extra expenses, having
reduced her freight tariff rates, in order to at
tract the produce to the city, in which it is
succeeding most admirably The transporta-
ton of freight will also be delayed, which is
serious objection to the prohibition of the
Locomotives. Ordinarily, as we have said,
the measure would be unobectionable but in
view of the circumstances, we hope the action
of the Council will not be insisted on, but
deferred to more convenient season, when
the Road shall have recovered froM the pros
tration of the past four years, and the times
will have become easier to all.
a. The success OF the Norfolk and Petersburg
Road may be regarded as the vital or main
stay of the city, and it is decidedly impolitic,
if not suicidal, to impose restrictions upon its
operations which will serious embarrass them,
and result in injury to the city, when they
may be deferred without Serious detriment
Let it be borne in mind, that the action of
the Council! is in accordance with our theory;
we simply ADVOCATE temporary postpone
ment of its practice. The Engineer, in charge
of the locomotive, might receive instructions
to proceed with more than ordinary caution,
and to stop progress promptly in the event of
any occurrence reneering such action neces-
sary.
We do not design to insist pertinaciously in
our views, but submit them respectfully to
the future consideration of the Council, re-
| questing them to bear in mind that our Nor
folk and Petersburg Road is engaged in run
ming on time against powerful competition,
and this for the present and future benefit of
the city.

How THE SCOTCH WORK IN Vm-
GNA.-A gentleman who has re-
Gently travelled from Washington to
Richmond, says he saw on the whole
route only one farm where the
ploughs had been started in earnest.
This was at ''New Market" the farm
recently leased by DR.. Baylor, of
Caroline, to Mr.. Black, Scotch gen
tleman. Here seven ploughs were
actively employed. If Mr.. Black can
prepare land for crop, why cannot
others, to ohe manor born? Mr..
Blacks superintendent is said to be a
Scotchman. who has only been in the
country for few weeks, and, not
withstanding all the disadvantages
which n stranger has to contend with,
he has already got the machinery of
the farm in full operation. Let us
take an example from it, and do all
in our power to raise crop this year.

MEMPHIS, February 1.-Holders are by
no means disposed to let cotton go at low
rates. All the vicissitudes the staple has
gone through, has not at all displaced the
conviction that the cotton now in hand is

on finding that cotton was selling at better
rates, express their entire inability to guess
upon what foundation the improvement
was based. We can answer the question
without difficulty; so can any one who goes

entertain in the future high price of cotton.

FREE TRADE TARIFF AND THE RAD1-
cA1s.-A very curious explanation of
the cause of the continuance of the
negro agitation in Congress is being
extensively circulated here. It ap-
pears that public meetings are being
held in all the principal cities in the
West in favor of reducing the present
tariff. A pressure for q modification
comes in strong from the West. It
IS not atall improbable that a majority
OF the Western members may be COM
PEELED to yield to this clamor. 1t is
said Stevens realizes this fact, and
fears change, if that question is
reached, coming from the State of
Pennsylvania, which is interested in
keeping up o high tariff to build up
IT'S own interests. He unites with the
New England radicals, who are anx-
lous to continue the same system to
strengthen their own manufactures.
they manage to keep up the agita-
ton about the freedmen, negro suf-
frage and amendments to the Consti-
tuition, in the hope of staving off
action, or preventing Congress from
taking up the question of the tariff
until it is too late in the session to do
anything. Hence this constant at
tempt to tinker the Constitution and
other radical measures. There is
some plausibility, to say the least, in
this rumor. Without vouching for
its accuracy, [ simply give it as one
of the rumors Of the hour now gene.
