A report which we publish elsewhere is
complete vindication of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society from the attacks to which
it refers. Few corporations have so de-
seryedly earned reputation for successful
management as the Equitable, and while it
did not need their endorsement, it is doubt
less gratifying to its managers and policy
holders to read the strongly-eXpressed
opinions of the gentlemen who conducted
the investigation. Their high standing for
integrity, their proficiency in the insurance
business, and the fact that they are altogether
disintereSted and in no wise connected with
the company, cannot fall to secure full Gre
dence for the facts of the report.

Want to Get Rid Of the Land,

/, hi, hos been introduced irsthe House Of
REPRESENTATIVES to further amend thenone.

Inc 20 the bin, Is to I've supplied WITH pn''s
and field notes of ten, or more. townships u

contiguous bodies Of public lanas su"'.c' "
entry are situated. In this way the tant'S are
70 l,e brought to the headquarters OF lmml-
ration md pauperism; and Mr.. GREELKY's
rc,no,lv for nil TROUBLES" go West us to
be facilitated and made entirely easy.
Congress hns manifested II great desire 10
rct rid of the public lands. Through dona-
tons to railroads and the spoliations OF cor
rupt rings they are going pretty fast, and IN
this bill we have new means for making
them 90 off little f,ster. We suppose 1t
may be MS well to let the public domain go.
There will be no end to corrupt schemes to
get possession of those lands as long as the
Government owns any, and when it parts
from them all. one great source of fraud aud
legislative corruption will be dried up.
The location of IL land Office in New York
will open fine field for operations. 1t will
be s,1ch bait as would white calf in the
Jungle be to the lion. If money be not MADE
out Of that office it will go hard. But what
chance would any board OF immigration
here stand in competition with this land
office in New York? an office which would
soon be roped into the rings Of railroads, and
by their combined management the current
of immigration would be sent as it were
through tube westward to the great plains
This need not disturb us. We have ell
deavorcd to impress upon the people of Fir-
ginia the idea, which we think correct that
we cannot for some time expect to get the
immigrant Iaborers introduced into Virginia
in any large numbers and furthermore, that
it would be best that they were not thus in
troduced until there is some preparation for
them that will make them contentcd and
stay. They will not, we believe, stay noWIn
the parts of the State where there are many
negroes. We must now depend on the III
coming of men of means to buy property.
With the help of time and our own sagaclty
we must make that change in the economy
of agriculture and rural life which will be
suited to the introduction of white LABOR.
When that is done the work will be easy,
and white labor will find its best reward and
its happiest home in Virginia.

The adjournment of the Legislature is an
event quite favorable to trade and active III
dustry. There was moral influence eX-
erted by the strange propositions that were
every now and then brought out in that
body, quite unfayorable to order and conf
dencc. The apathctic were lullcd to rest by
assurances that the Legislature would make
for them beds Of roses, and the really enter.
prising were always fearful that some wild
scheme would be matured that would utterly
unscttle all confidence, and send the State
off to sea without chart CT compass to endure
storm that would produce more disaster
and poverty than VIC have before seen since
the war.
But as the Legislature has adjourned With
out doing anything of this kind, men can 60
ahead with the conviction that 10 such
measure can hereafter succeed. Those who
vainly hoped for relief that it WAS not i'll the
power of the Legislature to give, may now
take care Ct themselves; which they can do
better than can the Legislature for them.
We look for steady Improvement in the
public welfare from this general feeling OF
relief from impracticable and mischievous
legislation.

of the Auditor of "West Virginia. that So
called State contained 20,539, 129 acres Of land.
This is equivalent TO something over 81, 900

in his books, or the new State contains more
than half the area of the original undivided

Proposed New Water Line

The Legislature at its recent session passed
bill incorporating "The Atlantic, Chesa-
peake and Ohio Transportation Line" 1t is
the purpose of the corpontors to establish
line of tow-boats and barges to ply between
Richmond, Petersburg, and Norfolk, and
New York, ria the inland route, touching at
Baltimore, Wilmington, Delaware, Philadcl,
phia, &c. ..,-
The project is one highly advantageous to
Virginia commerce. At present the great
steam lines ply between two points only.
The proposed line will be more of distribll-
tive agent, not being run by schedule that
requires arrivals and departures in manner
that would prevent stoppages en- route and
interfere with those ponderous freights which
such line would be we'll calculated to re-
ceive and deliver.
At Norfolk the line will connect with the
lines through from North and South Caro-
lima by inland route, which will contribute
largely to the aggregate freights of the new
company. This connection will open com
merce between Richmond at the coast OF the
SoohuNs Iiioe VIII NC utSuly faluaDlc.
This line will be great accommodation to
Virginia commerce, and supply vacuum in
the system of transportation between Viz
ginia and the principal northern cities. II
is not anticipated that it will be put in opera
ton prior to the completion of the Chesa
peake and Ohio railroad. For it is to the
heavy business of that new artery of trade
that the projectors look for support. But
when that road is running this line vii
very greatly facilitate the commerce that the
road will originate. That there will he heavy
freight and a diversified commerce that will
need new and efficient means of cheap dis
tribution, quite sufficient to support hand
somely such a line of transportation by thu
inland route, we have not doubt.
We trust that this new company will be
efficiently organized. It's enterprise is one Of
importance TO the commerce of this city, as
vel! as that of the State. Apart from any
gains in transportation it deserves encourage.
ment; but we should think it would be a
prosperous enterprise. The outlay in boats
cannot be heavy, the dangers Of the route are
as nothing, aud the expenses of operating the
line cannot be great. SO there will be o good
margin for profit, and the company, well man.

The SDrinr Trade.

We are gratifed to learn that the spring
trade in Richmond is quite lively. and that
thus far there is better business than we
have had since the war. The winter was 50
severe that it greatly retarded industry and
intercourse. The spring business is greatly
behindlland. There have been several
causes combining with the had weather to
produce apathy and depression. But gradlI-
ally We are getting the "pressure lifted up

things will soon be greatly more bright and

= In oldcn times June was held to be the
most propitious month of the twelve for mar
riages happy result being rendered doubly
certain if the ceremony was timed so a5 to
take place at the full of the moon.
-"Never be critical upon the ladies'" was
the maxim of an Irish peer, remarkable for his
homage for the sex; "the only way that true
gentleman will ever attempt to look at the
faults of a pretty woman is to shut his eyes"
An inebrated Democrat was dining at the
Ives House the other day. "Beef, pork, NUT
ton, veal and chicken" said the polite waiter.
'I don't care d." was the reply; anything
to beat nt."-Sedalia Tines.
- A fashionable mothers advice to newly
married daughter: "Do not get in the habit of
taking your husband with you to evening par
ties. Nothing is so stupid as husband at
party, nor so everlasting in the way"
- Articles of silver offered as wedding pres
ents have been voted not exactly vulgar, but
uncultivated and unrefned. Instead of these
works of art, statuary and paintings, "some-
thing about which sentiment can be entwin-
ed" are henceforth to be the things to profer
| to the newly welded.
A young man at wedding in Branford
recently, while promenading with young lady,
CHANGED to approach the officiating clergyman,
who, happening to be deaf and supposing them
to be the couple he had come to unite, imme-
diately married them in spite Of their remon-
steance. They accepted the situation and COM
menced housekeeping.
- The Secretary of the Treasury has receiv-
ed seventy cents as conscience money from a
Virginian and an ex-Confederate soldier. The
writer says that after the surrender of Lee, at
Appomattox, before he was paroled, he took
some musket caps from boxes lying about,
which he thinks may have been worth thirty
or forty cents. He, therefore, sends seventy
cents to cover the principal and interest.

must take my turn at the mill,
must grind out the golden grain, -,
I must work at my task with resoIute Will
Over and over again.
We cannot measure the need
OF even the tiniest flower,
Nor check the flow of the golden sands
That run through single hour.
But the morning dews must fall,
And the sun and the summer rain
Must do their part, and perform 1t all
Over and over again.
Over and over again
The brook through the meadow flows,
And over and over again
The pondcrous mill-wheel goes.
Once doing will not suffice,
Though doing be not in vain;
And blessing, failing us once or tWlce,
May come if we try again.
The path that has once been trod
Is never so rough to the feet;
And the lesson we once have learned
Is never so hard to repeat.
Though sorrowful tears may fall,
And the heart to its depth be drive.
With storm and tempest, we need them al
10 render us meet for heaven.
