Richmond Enteprise-1'he Neao Steam
ship.-The Virginia Steamship and Packet
company is home institution, composed
of Richmond merchants, and is doing much
toward building up trade, developing the
mechanical skill Of our people, and giving
employment to industrious laborers at good
wages. The company have two steamers
in the line between this port and New York,
the George b. Uptono and "William p.
Clyde" and will in few months add an
other, and still more in the future as the
demands of trade require.
While in the lower part of the city this
morning, we visited the new iron ship now
in course of construction at the company's
yards. The work upon her was begun in
October last. Since then all the shops,
sheds, &C., have also been constructed,
tools and machinery purchased and erected,
necessary, not only to prosecute the work
on this vessel, but also to build others.
The vessel now building is to be wholly
of iron, and every part Of her made here.
She is two hundred feet long on the six-foot
water line, thirty-three feet beam, with
twenty-five feet depth of hold, and will
tons. She will be propelled by one engine,
HlVcItcu Cy lilucr Vi Htty HlClleS ulaIneter,
sixty inches stroke of piston, with screw
thirteen feet in diameter.
The estimated cost of the vessel is
s1G5,00O. The company could not con-
tract for vessel of the same description in
any ofsthe Pennsylvania ship-yards for less
than s2Ol 900; thus showing saving of
$4,000.
1t is expected that the new ship will be
completed by the latter part of November
next. Mr.. Richard Lavery is the construc-
tor and the designer of the model, and has
under him about seventy hands, mechanics
and laborcrs combined.
The owners of these boats, being mer-
chants and large shippers and receivers of
goods, will have the question of freights
entirely under their own control. What
ever they pay for the transportation of
their own goods, isreturned to their pockets
in the way of dividends. Whatever they
pay its laborers in their employ will be
duly expended here again; in fact all the
money and labor used in the establishment
and maintenance of the line of steamers is
so much ever increasing home wealth.
SO with other home enterprises. The
capital and labor used operates directly and
surely to enrich those who manipulate them.

Mr.. Clark distinctly recognized the par

well known to him; but, unfortunately, he
cannot tell which one of them it was who
fired the two shots which struck him, and
it is fair to presume that the prisoners
themselves cannot tell, their firing being so
rapid and indiscriminatc.
T'ls prisoners, on their arrival at the

LATEST NEWS.
BY TELEGRAPH
From Washington.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. &C.
srRAGUE.
The Sprague investigation in the senate
amounts to nothing The report will exculpate
him, but those who have examined the evidence
say that it is clear that the Texas expedition
was after cotton. 1t is, Of course, quite possible
that Mr.. Sprague did not know it.
PACIFIC RAILROAD INVESTIGATION.
The house appropriation committee is doing
nothing in the Pacific railroad investigation,
nor has any progress been made with Buffers
resolution proposing new investigation. That
in the senate makes slow progress, and it is now
certain that there will be no legislation in this
congress on the subject and probably no effective
investigation.
AS USUAL
The appropriation bills are very much behind.
The senate has not yet broken up one, and the
house gets along slowly with them. There is
some danger that some will not pass before the
fourth of March, but, if there is to be a spring
session, the new congress may as well work at
appropriation bills as anything else
FENToN VS.. CoNKLING.
Senator Fenton is industrously pushing the
investigation of the New York custom house.
so as to be ready, with facts, to sustain his allie
cations in the senate. Though he is no match
for Mr.. Conklng in a debate, yet his friends
claim that he has the proof that numbers Of
clerks in the New York custom house were re-
moved simply because they were jealous Fentou
men.
RAILROAD LAND GRANTS.
The lobbics on the different land grant rail
road bills are getting desperate; only month
remains, and the house shows no disposition to
go to the speakers table, where most of these
jobs lie. A long and exciting struggle is ex-
pected soon on the St. Croix and bayfield, grant.
Mr.. Holman of Indiana, who is entitled to the
floor when it comes up, has an hours speech
against it ready.
THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
The bill giving territorial government to this
district is meeting with bitter opposition among
a class of our citizens, and they are lobbying
members very hard. Cheap politicians and con-
tractors for municipal jobs are using the colored
suffrage as weapon with which to kill the bill
They claim that the passage of the bill will
show that a republican congress is dissatisfied
with colored suffrage in this district. There is
nothing in the argument, and it will hardly sue
coed. The conference committee is making sew
eral amendments to the bill, and it is possible
that they will agree to strike out the section
which gives the president the power to appoint
one branch of the legislative assembly.

LIQUOR TAX.
Commissioner Pleasanton recommends that
the tax on fermented liquors be ninety-six cents
per barrel, instead OF ninety-two and a half as
at present, in order to avoid the loss of the frac
tonal remainers in collecting tax ion halves,
quarters and eighths of barrels.

The total number of immigrants to the United
States in 1870 was 354,169, 81, 17S less than in

"Well, suppose they throw it away when

At Copenhagen, on the 23d, during a discus

ground that there was danger under the heavy

the preponderance of the great powers, small
states soon disappear from the map of
Europe. The minister of war, in supporting the
budget, expressed the belief that the condition
of Europe was dangerous, and that the small
powers however peacefully inclined, might be
forced into war for the defence of their indie
pendence
