On the principle that half loaf is better than
no bread, We suppose the country ought to feel
grateful over the prospect that the income tax
law Is not to be perpetuated in the fitness of
ats present iniquities. And we do not doubt il
will be grateful in a degree proportioned to the
measure Of relief afforded. But this INITIATED
thankfulness is in danger of extinction from the
proposition now before Congress to abolish the
taN on the gross receipts OF railroad companies
Tha- scheme v simply monst-ous. The revenue
now derived from that source, some 81 900 900
IN amount, comes from the receipts from pas
senger travel alone; but If the tax were re-
moved, does any person suppose that a traveller

outright present of that vast sum to soulless
corporations that get everything and give
nothing in return?
Our national legislators should reflect long
and well before taking a step at once so foolish
and 80 wicked as doing this thing. Having done
1t, they would go before their hard working con-
stituents With heavy odds against their re-
election, and over their defeat they will find NO

After years of that hope deferred that maketh
the heart sick, our city has reason now, we
think, TO look TO the early completion of one
If not two of the important railroad connec-
tons promised US with the North and West
The operations on the line of the Baltimore and
Potomac road az last begin to look something
like business; and the work on that still more
important road, the Metropolitan road, con-
Meeting Washington directly with the West, has
now reached stage where its completion within
a few months seems a matter assured. The
work has been progressing steadily at the heav-
lest points on the line, and has now been re-
sumed at this end, and will be prosecuted yigor-
ously. large force, under the direction of Rob
eTt Murray, has commenced work at the point
reached when operations were suspended by
reason of Mayor Bowen's raid upon the line In
the early stage Of his contest with the railroad
company Mr.. Bowen undoubtedly had the
sympathy of this community, In the belief that
his motive was to protect the interests of the
city; but il soon became apparent that other
motives were at the bottom OF the vindictiye
opposition made by him against the operations
of the company; and when it was found that this
petty warfare aud protracted litigation only
served to benefit the lawyers and delay the con-
struetion of this important work, general feel
ing OF dissatisfaction grew up, which had I'M
dOubtedly considerable to do with Mr.. Bowen's
defeat on Monday last.
We trust, now that MIR. Garrett can have no
excuse in the obstacles thrown in his way nv
Mr.. Bowen, that the work will proceed without
pause to its completion. Such, we hear, is the
full Intention of the company. The condition
of the work is about as follows On about one
fourth lover eleven miles, of the road to the
Point Of Rocks the track Is. down. All the
heavy work (excavating) on th1rest of the line
Is done, and the contracts on eleven sections of
the lighter work will soon be finished. A large
force is at work at MOnOeacy river getting out
stone, and at all points of the route we learn
that the work is being pressed with the vigor
Characteristic Of Sir. CARROTS operations when
he sets about thing in earnest.
HE Metro pOlltan road will undoubtedly be in
full operation by the time the ConnellsvIlle and
fitfsburg road, Of which it is a link, i~com-
pleted, and then Washington city will have the
benefit OF greatly shortened connections with
the West, by the way OF the Baltimore and Ohio
road, and the Northwest by the Pittsburg
route, and will also reap the great advantages
TO be derived from tapping the rich valleys of
Mary land and Virginia, and of opening up a
portion Of country north of Washington that
has only needed railroad facilities to put il on
the advanced path Of agricultural and manufac.
turing progress.
Ii Mr. Garrett will only go ahead and give us
this important road, he will soften down the
grudge entertained against him here amazingly;
and if be will follow il up b7 relieving US from

come in time to vote him public benefactor.

ton, and may again restore something of her
ancient pride and strength of character. She
has the elements of greatness yet within her
reach. If she does not use them, she will
lose them forever. Upon the preservation of
the hope and spirit Of her people depends
all of the future for this distressed Common
wealth. Every Virginian owes it to his
country, as a sacred duty, to lend all his
strength, whether it be much or little, to
avoid any further humiliation of the Virginian
people.
A new element has been introduced in the
political system of Virginia. 1t is the popu-
lation of African descent-the best popua-
ton, mentally and physically, which can be
found of that race on the globe. II that race
can be safely and iudiciously introduced to
political control anywhere in the world, it
can be done in Virginia. That it shall be
so introduced here is a fixed and irreversible
fact. Our first great duty to ourselves and to
them is to arrange so that their power shall
be exercised, if not with advantage, at least
with the smallest injury, to the Virginia body
polite. We must look ahead, not behind us.
We must seek to elevate this race to q posi-
tion fit for association with the grand old
Nirginian race in the political control of
the country. If the colored people are always
to be kept ignorant and degraded, there will
always be found men enough among US
native or lmpOrted-to JOIN tnem ana give
them power. To elevate them above such
influences is the first and most urgent duty Of
the Virginian patriot
This can be done chiefly by two agencies
education and employment. Enlighten labor,
and give labor chance to earn a livelihood
by honest labor. When these two things are
accomplished, we may hope to see the Vir-
ginian negro assume and maintain his accus-
toned superiority over all others of his race
on this continent Give him hope in the
country, and the country may have a hope in
him.
But this first step towards the permanent
advancement of the negro cannot be made
until the white race are reduced to some
measure of comfort and prosperity When
property becomes available for easy income,
labor becomes assured of easy employment.
Property must be relieved of the overbearing
weight of debt and taxes before labor can be
relieved of the embarrassments occasoued by
want of remunerative employ yment. The true
and permanent prosperity of the property and
the labor of our society are bound together in
one package, and embarked in the same boat
If one goes down the other cannot be saved
1t is idle to draw line of separation. The
separation will not take place. Labor and
property must together be saved, or united
they must suffer great if not uncomfortable
disaster. The three leading points at which
danger to both classes approaches now are
debt, taxes, and ignorance. All three must
be reduced, or at any one of the three may
the State be destroyed.

terests which distract them. Poland dreams
of national revival under some second aud
more fortunate Kosciuzko. The Czechs
clamor for a new kingdom of Bohemia, and
with the other Slavi generally resent the pre-
ponderance of power given to Germans and
Magyars, who both together make up only
100000 out of the 81, 900, 900 of inhabi-
taDts of the empire. Dissatisfaction and
jealousy indeed, in the Csleithan provinces
are all but universal.
On the subject of the present war, it
would probably be impossible to reconcile
the wishes of the Government with the inte-
rests of the two halves of the empire
While the Austrian Germans have shown
factious disposition to prevent the union of
North and South Germany, being naturally
jealous of the Prussian Confederation so
long as they do not belong to it, their sympa-
thies nevertheless are all with their Prussian
countrymen and they would be strongly
averse to q coalition with France for the pur-
pose of humiliating the Fatherland. and de-
feating that ultimate union of all the Ger
man peoples which, in some way not vet
understood, they hope to accomplish. The
Magyars have no objection to union be-
tween North and South Germany, so long
as Austrian Germany does not Join it too.
They believe that the Hungarians and
the people of the crown lands must work to-
gether for the glory and prosperity of the
empires but they would not be sorry to have
for neighbors a confederation of German
States upon which they could depend as
friends and allies. Above all things they
want peace, that their budding prosperity
may have time to develop and, until their
safety is directly menaced, we may be sure
the movement for French alliance will find
no eountenance from them. Austria there
fore, if she went into this contest, would do

own subjects, and moreover run imminent
risk of giving her rickety Cisleithan pro-
vinces a shaking which would shake them to
