For RENA.-This notice we find in n
number OF papers published elsewhere in
the State, but when found in those of Rich
mond, we almost invariably see them at
tached to such houses as are bevond the
means of ordinary incomes. The great
want of Richmond is small houses. tbot
can be procured at moderate rents-say
rom twelve to twenty dollars q month.
One may walk from one end of the CITY to
the other for a week, without finding a
house suitable for laboring or poor man
TO live IN, while numbers of our large
houses, even on Main street, are found
with their upper stories vacant. We have
not yet been educated to tenement houses.
and until we are, these large and costly
building must remain idle.
Still there are number of vacant lots in
many portions of the city, upon which
should be erected at once the class of
houses so much in demand, but until those
able to build, learn that every CITY needs
the services of laborers and Door men as
well as the rich, and that tiley must he
PROVIDED with homes to conform to their
means, we must expect these lots to remain
vacant, or have erected upon them such
buildings as are beyond the reach of poor
men.
Let some individual, able to do SO. but
take the initiatory in this matter. and we
may soon expect the example to be rapidly
followed.

Afterssthe great fire in Eondon in 1866,
Parliament enacted that every house should
be built with party walls, and all in front
raised of equal height, and those walls
should be of stone or brick, and that no
man should delay building beyond seven
years.
The official vote of California is 120, ,696.
In 1860 it was 49, $40, showing remarka-

The MEETING LAST NIGHT,-The
meeting in front of the City Hall last night.
under the auspices of the Republican City
Central Committee, was we'll attended. 1t
was also in a high degree harmonious and
enthusiastic. The meeting was presided
over by VIM. H. Trent, and was addressed
in succession by Hon. John r. Popham.
Col. j. Nj. Humphreys, Col. /. ii. Shields
Major Samuel l.. Annable. and w. j. s.
Bowie.
Colonel Popham's address was able and
dignified. He arraigned the Democratic
party on the charge of most heinous crimes
committed by it before and since the war
and truthlully depicted the dangers which
threaten the people of this State and city,
should the Democratic party obtain new
lease of power.
Colonel Humphreys made a short, but
stirring speech, replete with sound senti-
ments and telling facts. His remarks were
well received by the large audience, and
made deep and, we hope, lasting impress
sion.
Col. Shields was next called for. His
address was brief, but pointed and elo-
quent. He gave out no uncertain sound.
He is an earnest and able advocate of the
cause which he espouses.
Major Samuel l.. Annable, candidate for
the Senate from Henrco county, being pre-
sent, was loudly called for, and appearing
upon the stand, addressed the meeting in a
most happy and cheerful vein. He pledges
close and careful canvass throughout the
county, and Republican majority of four
hundred on the 9TH of November. His
speech was warmly applauded.
w. }. 5. Bowie, an intelligent colored
gentleman, was then called for and made
an earnest speech in support of Republican
principles.
1t being quite late when Mr.. Bowie con-
cluded, the meeting. on motion. adjourned
