cial questions. 1t may seem to you a

Richmond. A subscription Of two mil
lions Of dollars to aid Railroad Com.
pany had been brought forward in the
city council, and it was referred TO the
popular vote The negroes have alarge
majority ia the city, and By an order Of
General Schofield, the military comuan-
der, only those who had registered were
permitted to vote. The wealth, intelli-
gence and prudence Of the city were
opposed to the measure, but what could
they or their influence avail against the
colorcd voters. If thecity should have
to pay the whole two millions Of dollars,
and never receive single dollar from
the Railroad company either Of princi-
pal or interest, so that the annual taxes
would have TO be Increased one hun
dred md forty thousand dollars until
they could levy an additional tax Of two
millions and redeem the subscription, net
a hundredth part Of this tax would fall
on the negroes. They have no proper
ty to be burdcned, no real or personal
estate, and no means ef any kind which
q tax assessor or collector could end. ~
