10 the Editor Of TIE State Journal.
What they have, and what they have not
done, during the past year, has caused
much trouble in the city. In the several
articles / wrote for the STATE journal,
previous " tl.s Issts eles.;e., al -,et hesi-
ignorance and stubborn continuance of the
manner in which the city engineer was d-
recting the city work, especially that of the
streets. After / had shown that his prac-
tice was totally different from that of the
engineers Of Europe or America, he has
kept on in his own way to the last, nor was
there one in the City Council to make the
inquiry who was right. lf there was, it
met with no response. The streets of
city are its greatest ornament, if properly
constructed; if badly made, a constant an
noyance to residents, and positively re-
pulsive to travellers.
1t is hoped that the new Council will
endeavor to secure the services of a person
for city engineer, who is known to be one
in fact, or at least a man who will endeayor
to do right, and who will, in making con-
tracts for the repairs of, and new pave
ments, will draw them SO that he and the
contractor cannot play hide and seek,
through the instrument, with all the city
carts in single or double file. A taxpayer
does not think that the offal of the paving
stones sent to the North is hardly suitable
to pave the streets of this city, that is, when
the city pays for the cubes and is served
with spalls. Taxpayer would suggest that
the inquiry be made, why the location of

over three months Of labor less has been
accomplished on the new pit than had
been on the one abandoned, causing a

THEcHEsApEAKE AND ONO TERMINUS.

THE HECHESAPEAKE AND OHIO TERMINUS
The meeting of the business men Of Rich
mond at the Chamber Of Commerce yester
day, noticed in our local columns, was on
OF great Importance to our city. The will
ingness of the managers of that road, t
give to Richmond every needed facility t
obtain her full share of the mighty trad'
destined to flow along its track, was clearly
stated by General Wickham, its Vics
President. While very properly declining
to give guarantees, that this should be its
ultimate terminus in any case he was empha-
tic in the statement, that if Richmond met the
liberal propositions of the company in Q
like spirit of liberality, we should have
at least, an equal chance with all others tc
bid for the east-going freights. (
Colonel II. G. Cabell, Franklin Stearns,
and L. D. Crenshaw, in forcible and con-
vincing speeches, exhibited the immense
extent Of these benefits, and the feasibility
Of handling them at Richmond. The en-
gineer in charge of the James River I'M
proyement certifies that he can give sixteen
feet of water at low tide, and twice day
eighteen feet.
Mr.. Stearns stated that much the largest
proportion of New York commerce is done
in vessels drawing less than eighteen feet Of
water; that our trade would be largely
coastwise, employing small vessels.
Atno time in the history Of Richmond,
has such golden opportunity been pre-
sented to her as this. The improvements
required to complete the connection of the
railroad with tide-water, in the best possible
shape, will cost not to exceed $500 900, a
petty sum when the results are considered.
With this connection accomplished, it will
then be for the business men Of Richmond
to say, how much of the products of the
West moved along this line, shall pay tribute
to the city. 1t is perfectly competent 70,
them to say, and by wise and liberal
policy to make good the declaration, that not
a bushel Of wheat, not a hogshead of tobac-
co, not ton of iron, shall pass without
contributing to their wealth and prosperity.
We have water power to grind the ten
million bushels of wheat. We can bring
here the capital and enterprise and skilled
labor to work up all the tobacco and iron
ore into forms ready for consumption.
Every citizen of Richmond is vitality in
terested in this question, and we hope to
see the action of yesterdays meeting libe-
rally sustained, the money raised, and the
work begun. Then let Richmond rouse
from her Rip Van Winkle sleep, and
place herself upon the platform of protec-
ton to home industry. Let her invite
hither with earnestness, Northern capital
and skilled labor, to aid in building up 0
prosperity of which her most sanguine
friends have never ventured to predict.
The managers Of the Chesapeake and
Ohio road have done their part; it re.
mains for Richmond to say whether she
will seize the fortunate moment, and become
great, or neglect it, and sink into obscurity

Murder IN Hemico.--On Monday evening
about half-past Z o'clock a colored man, re-
siding in Tuckahoe township, Henrico
county, named Boiling johnson, was seen
approaching the house of Isaac Williamson
by the wife Of the latter, who informed her
husband of his coming, whereupon Viii
hanson took his musket and shot him
through the heart. The murdered man
ran few steps and dropped dead. An old
feud existed between them. M
Williamson has been arrested and is now
in Jail. A coroncr's inquest was held, and
a verdict rendered that johnson was killed
by Williamson. The mania for murder,
suicide and other crimes seems to be on the
increase fact to be greatly deplored.

Robbery and attempted Ouarage.-Yes-
terday, Mrs. Sykes, whose husband is
employed on the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road, hired a colored boy named Robert
Basney to assist her about the house. A
family by the name of Smith resides on the
premises. Basney was permitted to sleep
in the lower part of the house. About /
O'Clock this morning, he entered the room
occupied by the Smith family, and stole a
dollar from the pocket of Mr.. Smith. He
then entered the room of Mrs. Sykes, who
was aroused by some one taking liberties
with her person. Her condition was such
as to cause her, upon discovering the boy
and his intentions, to be thrown into severe
spasms.
Her screams aroused the inmates. who
upon rushing to her assistance found the
boy in her room, and Mrs. Sykes senseless
from fright. An officer was sent for who
made his appearance in the person of Mr..
Hall, who Immediately conveyed the boy to
the lookup. His case was called this
morning in the police court and continued,
owing to the absence of Mrs. Sykes, whose
condition prevented her presence. Mrs.
Sykes resides ON Clay street, between Fifth
and Sixth. Basney was sent to jail, but
before going confessed the crime Of theft,
and acknowledged his guilty intentions to-
wards Mrs. Sykes.

The Nuisance Ont an Full Force Yester-
day.-We counted yesterday on Broad
street, in the distance Of two squares, ftty-
sic baby-earriages, in many places com
pletely blocking the sidewalk. In one in
stance we saw five of them abreast, sweep
ing everybody from the pavement as they
went along. We return thanks to MEM
Der of the police force, who had the good
sense to direct that two Of these cribs move
on, or get out of the way. Each was driven
by two saucy looking nurses, who had stop
ped to swap lie or two. One Of them
obeyed, the other sullenly refused, and
stood waiting until the precious popsy-
wapsy, walked up. The evil is growing
daily, and unless soon abated by law, or
otherwise, will be detested by those who
now admire them. The latest fashion of
Richmond, is to give three weeks old infants
an airing on Broad street every afternoon.
The first thing mothers know, Group will
get amongst their little ones, and then Pro-
vidence be responsible for taking off the
dear little innocents. We do not believe
that mothers, who feel so tenderly for their
little cherubs, are aware that their helpless
infants, are taken by the nurses through our
most crowded thoroughlares, so that they
may tattle with each other about matters Of
interest to none but themselves. We again
appeal to the authorities to see for them
selves any afternoon on Broad street, the
great crowd of these concerns and then de-
eide, if we grumble without cause.

An Iacitation to Disease and DeaA.-
Our attention has been called by several
persons, who reside in the neighborhood, to
the filthy condition of the sewer at the COR
nerof Second and Main streets. The stencil
which greets ones organs Of scent as they
pass near this cave of filthiness is almost
beyond human endurance. We believe
every paper in the city has called attention
to the condition of our streets and sewers
sufficiently often as to have attracted the
attention of those who have charge of them,
and without any good effect. For ourselves
and the good of the community we can no
longer refrain from expressing the belief
that set of incompetents are in position
who are daily endangering the lives of our
citizens. and should be held responsible for
the neglect of so plain duty. If they
cannot correct the evil let them be turned
out and others put in charge of SO impor-
tant work.

Mr.. Epps was thrown out first, and in adj
