greater extent than at present. If
another year should pass without the
means of economical and rapid winter
travel heing provided on the route
from here to Boise and Owyhee, the
probabilities are in favor of its taking
the directions 10 which we hare re-
fcrred.
Unless the mails arc carried con.
,inuously, in win,crand summer, over
the route wc have marked out up tho
Columbia River, the project will be q
failure. In order to justify the cx
pcnse OF u G construction of the road
from the Dallcs to some point below
tho Cascades, il will require that it
shonld be continually used that the
public mind should become accustomed
to consider it as the principal conncc'
tion with the outside world, and, that
by continual use. it should be kept con-
stantly in repair. Experiences dem'
onstratcs' that road which is kept
only to be used three months in The
year, is always out OF order when it is
most needed.
AS 10 the relative speed Of the trans
mission Of mails by land aud water, il
is demonsirabIc that the land routc
has considerably the advantage, from
the fact that tho schedules can be 40
rangcd IS TO admit OF night travel
over the greater part OF any route in
the interior, while tie navigation Of
The Columbia is so difficult that it is
safe to count only on daylight as tho
time to be used by steamboats,.
We earnestly invite public attcn-
ton to tho IDEAS herein presented,
with the iul / lclief that upon the
adoption oil some such scheme 0i com.

THE LACK OF MAIL FACULTIES.

United States mails in the interior
and from the Lower Columbia TO thi
point, certainly call for rectificaticn
with view TO conform them to tn,
growing necessities of the country
1t will DO observed that whenever tn,
river is closed, lhero is break in th'
communications between Southern
Idaho and the places below the Cas-
cades Of the Columbia. This brcal
extends from Walla Walla to Van
couvcr and Portland--a distance 0
two hundred and seventy five miles by
land. Sometimes it is only for lev
days, but generally for at least two
months in tho winter the communion
tion with the interior is difficult ant
uncertain, PRACTICAL y resulting in ;
total suspension of travel. This is so
not because it is absolutely necessa',
it should be SO, but because there i,
no previsi., u for tho transportation o
mails and passengers by land during
the suspension of navigation 7,
remedy this, defect, it is necessary thai
arrangements TO carry the Unitct
States mails from the Lower Colum
bia by land should be made. Tho sec
ton between the Dallrs and Wall;
W.lla is easily operated, the average
Of winters, nine days out of ten. Run
ming through an open country, where
the Chinook wind seldom allows th,
Snow to lie three consecutive days, tht

would keep the road open. But no

do this. The crust on snow is just Il
much a Barrier TO tho passage o
of horses as if the earth were NJ llc'

The GREAT EVIL OF THE DAr-A PRosrT

paper TO the large number OF w"' 'rn,
principally colored, who at all hours 81 tue
night are parading through the streets VI
this city, but no remedies have osch sus-
gested, and no plan Of alienation mas oeen
proposed. ,. .o ;,,
This question of what shall be done with
that class of women who, having no osten-
sible calling, prey upon the community,
has ALREADY been pondered we'll in places
of greater magnitude than Richmond. In
New York, for instance, every woman who
after a certain hour at night is found upon
the streets without q male companion is at
once arrested and punished with inpsison-
ment. What has been the consequence
The streets of New York are quiet and
orderly, and at any hour gentleman may
escort q lady along them with the full as
surance that he will meet with nothing
that can annoy or pain the sensitive feel
ings OF his companion. New York may
make dozen Richmonds, but peace and
orderly living are rs dear 10 our citaScns as
to those oi the great northern city, Hnt onI
people demand that they oc no longer

RICHMOND FEMALE INsTITUTE.-Thec clos
ing exercises of the Richmond Female In
stitute were held yesterday in one of the
rooms of the building at present occupied
by the school, corner OF Ninth and Mar
shall streets.
The school assembled at o'clock, when
the President, Mr.. Winston, announced the
results of the examinations III the several
classes, and indicated the pupils entitled
TO promotion in each.
Two young ladies were declared TO have
graduated. The University system OF
"schoolS" prevails in the Institute, and
students who complete satisfactorily the
course of study in any department are per-
mittcd to graduate in that "school," while
other branches may yet remain diminished
Miss Rosa Burke and Miss Martha Eze-
kiel, both of Richmond, were pronounced
graduates of the Institute the former in
mental philosophy, and the latter in Eng
liSh literature
The President then delivered a briel
address, explaining first the reasons why II
had been thought best 10 have no public
commencement the present year; thank
ing his assistant teachers for their cordial
and efficient cooperation, and the young
ladies for their uniform propriety OF con-
duet and aSSduty in study, enjoining upon
the graduates to regard their education as
only just commencing-not finished-and
seeking TO impress them with the solci-
tude and interest with which their Alma
Mater would observe their efforts TO main
tain her reputation in the departments OF
study which they had completed.
He then gave out some intimations OF
plans at work (not yet ripe for develop
ment) which, il successful, would not only
place the Institute again in possession OF
its buildings before the next term, but
would at once restore it TO the full mea-
sure of the prosperity enjoyed before the
war.
He concluded with best wishes and
kindest adieus 10 all.
Mr.. Harrison, who has had charge of the
departments of Latin and Natural Sci
euces. followed in brief valcdictory, and
the exercises were pronounced ended iol
the present session.
The Institute has had prosperous se''
sion considering the disadvantage under
which it has labored. It's exercises were
necessarily suspended during the war, and
Its fine buildings, on Tenth street, are Still

have driven away the burglars. and gar.
roters, and thieves, who made the city 30
miserahly unsafe, and they are now anxious
to clear Richmond Of those hundreds of
vicious women who, by the natural de-
moralization attendant upon war and the
presence Of large body Of Federal
troops, have been thrust upon US.
If the Mayor will give the Chief Of Po-
lice power to arrest every woman who, un-
accompanied by q man, Is found upon the
streets after eleven o'clock at night, Major
Claiborne will doubtless pledge himself to
remove or frighten away permanently
every solitary one Of them. The remedy
/, in the hands OF the Mayor, and 1t Is his
duty 10 place it ut once In operation, 80
that il may at least have fair ana speedy
trial.
Tie measure that we propose Is one thst
IS sustained by every feeling Of mercy,
charity, and expediency. These women
will not leave us as long as they can drag
cut miserable existence here, and tiiey
will n"t abandon crime 80 long as that
crime gives them subsistence. Issue the
order that We advocate make 1t unsafe
for them to move away at night from the
places where they live; aud they will
either turn to honest labor or will leave Us
altogether. In either case We shall be the
gamers, for the great creed and prayer Of
life, the great safeguard against sorrow and
shame, is lead US not into temptation and
we shall thus remove great and terrible
temptation from that class Of persons who,
from their age, are least able TO resist and
rcpel the allurcments OF vice.
