ORGANIZATION OF THE New GOVERN
MENT AT WAsHINeToN.-The organiza-
tion of the Territorial Legislature at Wash
ington, yesterday, and the Inauguration of
Governor Cooke, marks new era in the
social development of the Capital. We
think it a most fortunate event, and it is
certainly SO accepted by the better class of
people 10 Washington. The confidence of
business men is reviving, and numerous
investments are being made in real estate.
Governor Cookies message is very able,
and abounds in suggestions of great value,
for the improvement of the city and its
surroundings. The method of modifying
the streets by parking the broad ones in
the centre and moving the sidewalks
away from the buildings in the narrow
ones, would of itself save half the cost of
paving, and so beautify the city as to vast
ly increase the value of its residence prop
erty.
We believe this plan of improvement
was first suggested by the Hon. T. B.
Bryan, gentleman of wealth, intelligence
and taste, who did as much as any other
man, perhaps, to build up Chicago, his
former home. Mr.. Bryan came to WASH
ington to escape the severe winters North.
lie is noble specimen of American man
hood, and one of the most valuable acces-
sions to the citizenship of Washington.
1t should be matter of congratulation all |
over the country, that Washington is at |
last relieved from the stupid fogyism
which has repressed its growth aud made
i scandal among the capitals of the
world. tr

Behapior at Church We have had our
attention called to the bad conduct of num-
Der of young gentlemen at St. Paul's, who de-
liberately go there to talk and disturb those
who would love to hear the gospel preached
quietly. The habit of gentlemen at all the
churches crowdipg the steps, sidewalks and
doors, to stare at ladies as they come and go, is
deserving of severe rebuke. Several of our
churches are reached by means of long flights
of steps, up and down which they are cons
PEELED to pass, but who do so much to their
annoyance, owing to the habit of gentlemen
(by profession) who stand and gaze, and impu-
IDENTIFY remark upon their feet, dress, &c.
Ut this habit, we cannot speak in too strong
terms, nor can we impress upon those addicted
to it the wrong, more forcibIy than to say, that
many of them have sisters whom they love,
and would dislike to see made the subjects of
coarse and vulgar jests within their hearing.
Remember, then, young gentlemen, that these
same ladies, whom you shame and disgust by
your vulgar conduct, are claimed as the sisters
of men as good as you are.

handsome little pocket journal, neatly bound

THE LATEST NEWS
Letter 4. ON Petersburg.
PETERSBURG, May 16, 1871.

TO the Editor of the State Journal.
An adjourned meeting Of the City Coun.
Gil was held yesterday. The business trans
acted was unimportaut. but an immense
crowd OF Republicans were present, as it
was currently believed that the Cnuncil
Were about to consolidate the second With
the third ward. and the fourth with the
fifth ward. thereby putting strong DEM
ocratic with weak Republican waId in
each case, so as to carry their Democratic
Conncilmen in on the consolidated ticket.
The Inder this morning tries to cou vince
its readers that "our Councilmen never
had such intention" We have positive
assurances from Democratic Councilmen
that such was their intention, and the only
reason it was not carried out was because
they could not do it. There were some
legal obstacles. And besides, they "feared
the people," Some of their wistst heads
warned them against the move. The peo-
pie would not submit to it, and they would
lose more than they would gain. The fact
is we would undoubtedly have carried all
the wards, if consolidation had been
effected for such swindlng purposes as
were in the hearts of the authors of this
gerrymander Nc 3.
In addition to the officers to be chosen
at our election on the 25th instant, as
stated in my last letter, we have to vote
90 the question of subscription by the
city of Petersburg of quarter of mil
lion of dollars to aid in the construction of
a railroad from Petersburg to North Caro-.
lima, through tue counties OF Dnwiddie,
Brunswick and Mecklenburg. This propo-
sition will undoubtedly be defeated.

and Republicans are heartily tired of the
plan of putting power in the hands of our
political enemies by our own votes--pow-

at the polls, and in every other way to
cripple our influence for good.
There was to have been public discus
