Reading Matter on Every Page.

The Chronicle makes n strong point against
The Csi'itsl-moVing iObbing-scheme that the
litigation which would inevitably grow out Of
removal would he endless and spn,lIinr. The
Ieop'e of Washington-thc prone rty-holders and
men IN active busineSs-haye an actual legal
interest in the presence Of the Capital, which
never seems to be taken into consideration in
the current discussion OF the question. Removal
amounts to p forCible ErrSting OF their interests,
and the owners would then become invested with
definite rights, capable Of being prosecuted i'm
United States court, or of being assigned To third
parties The land bought, the houses built. the
money invested in Washington were all on con-
dition, which condition was the IMPLIED promisa
OF the Government that the Capital should for
ever remain where it now stands.
The Chronicle cites a. analogous precedents in
the matter the case OF the removal of Marshall
college from Mercersburg. in Pennsylvania. to
Lancaster, when the citizens of the latter place
got damages from the college authorities Al-o
the case Of Jefferson College. which il Is pro-
proposed shall be removed from Canonsburg. in
the same State, To Washington a village seven
miles distant. The citizens of Canon.burp have
promptly applied for an Injunction RESTRAINING
the removal, alleging their rights in the perma-
nent existence of the college i'm their VILLAGE
This case Is now in process of argument. the
ablest and strongest lawyers in that section of
the state being engaged on il.
And how infinitely greater the wrongs which
would follow the removal of the National Cant
tai than any which could be pleaded as conse-
Guent on the withdrawal from country town os

SOUTHWARK THE COURSE OF EMPIRE TAEgs
1Ts WAY-The main argument of the Capitol
wheelers Is that the Star of Empire-the seat of
power-is moving West, and that the Capital
ought TO move with it. but the question arises
whether the West has not seen its best tiays and
whether the great material advantages of the
South. improved by free labor, will not turn the
tide Of wealth and growth in that direction.
The Charleston NsTs makes a comparison
from material obtained from the report of the
Agricultural Bureau at Washington. from which
IL concludes that Dixie Is mighty, and viii nre
vail. IL finds that Illinois Yields corn to the
value of >lt-j2 an acre, wheat at S22 A. and bar
ley AT S2s.Ji per acre. Kansas yields corn at
S36.ti, wheat at $3.50, and barley at 1852 per
acre. Missouri yields corn at sl1.a5, wheat at
S2i-e, and barley at Sj0.so per acre. Turning
to the South, IL finds that Virginia Yields a hiyh-
or average OF corn than Illinois, say S11 go, also
tobacco AT Se6-25 per acre. North Carolina
Sields tobacco at SlI2..9 per acre Louisiana
and Mississippi yield sugar CARAT $40 per acre.
South Carolina and Georgia Weld rice Mt Saj
and sea Island cotton at Si40 Der acre
Anu the twelve cotton States Weld ND
land cotton at an average of $50 per acre.
In conclusion. the Mrs assumes that the v,lus
or the lands of the West j. really far more s,ac
ulatiye than intrinsic. and that the advance in
rTict has been because of the vast tide of immi-
grafton which always flowed toward, the West
and rapidly settled mp the country. Ii admit,
that the old Institution of slavery discouraged
mmigratiOn. and 80 impeded the material pro-
gress OF the South. But now that slavery is dead
and with an Oper chance for the competition of
free labor. j. anticipates that Immigrant, will
IOur into that section and soon raise the land.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

EDiroH HSTAR:-The proposal to Did Worlds
Fair in this city will suggest to many minds the
pIopriety of some improvement on the past n
the Ways of managing crow l.. Perhaps We
might take hint from the B Jston Jubilee If
tudiciously humble enough to wish To do better
than We did at the last Inauguration. In Bos-
son, committee Of arrangements received
notice Of every room in the city offered for rent
At that time, and strangers applying to the com
mittee were at once assigned to comfortable
quarters. In Washington, on the Sd of March
good large vacant rooms within a quarter of
mile Of the Depot had not found tenant at s.
per day; while at one OF hotels n long billiard
room was filed with single cots at IS per night!
In Boston, the hack-fare and hackmen were
under municipal regulations forbidden to i'm
pose unusual fare upon strangers. In Washing
ton, on March 4th. some hackmen charged SO
for the use of a carriage for the day! while
SO was the combined price of all for
taking a gentleman and lady to the Ball
There will be time enough before the fair in 1s71 1
to improve in all these matters. Let us hops
there will be ability and inclination on the part
OF those who manage, to do 50. Let US hope that
the true interests Of the city will be cared for by
those who have permanent location here; that
strangers will not be put in responsible places
merely because they possess a sounding title.
The arrangement for the crowds that have for
two years attended at Arlington on decoration
day" and the scenes of the Inauguration Ball,
have strong tendency towards exciting disgust
In the minds of all who remember them. In the
name Of comfort, decency and drespectabiIty, let
Us hope that our future will develop on all SINH
lar occasions a marked progress. H.C.I.
