r,o,n,,,sdouers of the Revenue-Again,

r,o,rn,ssiouers Of the Revenue--Again,
THE Conssitution provides that fol
zach city or town In She State containing q
population Of Eve thousand there shall be "
fanongst the other officers) stelected" By
the qualified voters :. one commissioner OF
the resenue.D That instrument makes no
provision for electing o,ty sheriff. IL does
provide for che election of city sergeant.
Now. IL would be as logical to- argue That
this latter officer is to perform the d"t.es %
the sharifg as 70 claim that the COMMUNIST ner
Of the revenue provided for In the Const''
triton Il a State officer. The State officers
are both onitted--both the assessor OF State
taxes and the collector Of State taxes-that
Is to say, the sheriff and the State commits
sioner Of The revenue.
This idea is supported by the fact that the
Constitution provides for township asses.
sors. but not for commissioners OF the reve-
nue. In the counties. Thus township asses
sors were provided for to assess township
taxes. and commissioners of the revenue to
assess city and town taxes, but neither for
cities and towns nor for counties were any
commissioners of the revenue provided for
to assess State taxes.
It is evident, then, if this view OF the
Constitution be correct, that that section OF
the bill pending in the Legislature which
provides that the various cities and towns
shall elect assessors" &C., IS unconsti-
tutlonal. The language of the law should
be the same as that of the Constitution
namely, commissioner of the revenue"
And this, whether the officer named be
State officer or city or town officer. The
voters Of the cities and towns must elect
commissioners of the revenue. If the Le-
gislafure chooses to require them to elect
assessors also, so be it. Yet we think it
would be much better to have all State COM
missioners Of the revenue provided for by
Law.

INCOME AND OTHER INTERNAL TAxEs.-The
House committee think that the Senate bill
cuts down internal taxation too largely.
On the income tax, however, both bills sub
stantialIy agree, the rate being fixed in each
at three per cent. Should the Senate bill
reach the House first, the impression ia quite
strong that it will be passed over the head
of the Ways and Means Committee.

Virginia Railroads and Prospects.

Virginia Railroads and Prospects.
The coal-field on the west slope of the
Alleghanies, extending from the Mononga-
hela to the Big Sandy river, is by far the
largest, the richest, and is destined to be-
come the most valuable in the world. In
Europe nearly all the coal deposits lie far
beneath the general surface and far below
water level. Deep shafts are sunk at i'm
mense cost to reach them the mines are
then ventilated and drained us they are
being worked, only after the most astonish-
Ing OUTLAWS. On the Kanawha and collate-
raj valleys the coal crops out OF the hill
aides In veins from FIVE to twelve feet thick,
As above water lsyel, and can be dumped
Into the cars by tho force Of gravity for
merely nominal cost, and carried thence to
wherever Il Il needed. A few miles eastward
or this Immense store Of coal, on the east
ern slope OF the Ansghanies, are found In
exhaustible deposits Of iron ores of the best
qualities. The Chesapeake and Ohio rail.
road, now in course of construction from
the nayigable waters Of the James river te
the river navigation of the Mississippi val
ley, the greater part Of which is already ir
operation, crosses both the iron-fields anG
the coal-felds, and unites them to the sea
board on the one hand and the great Yves
on the other. Nearly I 900 men are employ
ed upon this great work, and it will not b
many months before the cars will traye
continuously from Memphis, St. Louis, o
Chicago, to and from these great iron ant
coal deposits, and on to the navigation o
the Atlantic at Richmond.
These natural advantages. together witt
the immigration now finding its way to Vir
ginia and West Virginia, will give to those
States vast wealth and industry. The com.
pletion of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
itself win set free wonderful amount Of
latent power, and is to rank as one of the
most Important works of improvement now
In progress.
The loan Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company some time since an
nouneed and still advertised in our columns
by tho well-known banking firm FISK 6
Hatch, Of New York, is being steadily alb.
sorbed for Investments. These bonds have
several features Of convenience and security
not hitherto found combined. To all per.
sons contemplating investments Of capital,
or the exchange of securities, their remarks
will be OF special interest. Messrs. DAvEN.
POET & Go. and &. II. .MAUaY 6 Co. are the
agents for the sale Of these bonds in this
city. "
Messxs. Flsz d HATCH have displayed a
wonderful amount of enterprise In their
measures to bring this attractive loan be-
fore the nssion; indeed before the people
Of Europe also. This city and State are
greatly benefited by their extensive system
of advertising the bonds, since 1t makes no
less famous than the bonds the physical
advantages Of Virginia.

amusing incident
An aged colored man came up to his

great difficulty. The prescribed formula,

old man was thrown into much perpleXity.
Recovering himself, however, he muttered
in an undertone, which was oyerheard
"Well, how ole is my ole NASSAU"

standing by, we'll acquainted with him, who
promptly answered:
"Your old master is about ffty-fye years

General Christian Convention.

CORRESPONDENCE Of the Richmond DISPATCH
SUFFOLK, VA, May II, 1870.
The General Christian Convention, which
met here last Friday, adjourned to-day ut 8
P. NJ. to meet again in Graham, n. c., on
Friday before the second Sabbath in May,
1874.
The sessions Of the Convention were we'll
attended, and everything passed off harmo-
niously. Much important business was
transacted, and the reports of the various
standing committees showed the prospects
of the denomination to be very encour-
aging.
