THE terror that some men have OF
=" Railroad Kings, I" as Tom Scott and some
othors are called, and their imperious
sway in this country, is amusing enough
when we consider the reserved power Of
the states which may be brought at any
time to settle the question Of their kingship.
We have yet to learn that tho present Vice.
President of the Pennsylvania Central is
such railroad ogre as to frighten Vir-
ginia legislature out of its seven senses, III
legislative bodies have that NUMBER or out
of all dignity and gravity in its slttings.
What Mr.. Scott has sought to do in New
Jersey is precisely what we want to see
done in Virginia. He has sought to break
the backbone Of most rascally monopoly
in that State and we want, by the passage
of general railroad law, to break the
power of monopoly in this State. If Tom

PAuPER Italian immigrants are arriving
at New York in such numbers as to give
rise to well-grounded suspicion that tho
Italian government is systematically ship
ping its lazzaroni to this country. Those
who have landed are reported almost desti-
tute of all things, to look half-starved, and
are generally in such condition as to suggest
doubts as to their having paid their own
passage. Tho Italian Consul, In response
to inquiries, states that all Of them have
passports, and imparts the further COM
forting assurance that none of them are
brigands. But whatever may have been
their condition at home, they arrive here
paupers and consequently become q public
charge at once. In view Of this, applca-
ton has been made to the State Depart-
ment to interposs and stop further immi.
grafton Of this class.

EVE'G, DEC. 10. 1872.
ExEuPTEoN-wHAT is REQUIRED.

There are now two or three proportions
before Congress, looking to a modification
OF the general bankrupt law, so that it
shall not operate as unequally and unjustly
as it now does in Virginia. The difficulty
in this State arises from the construction
given to our own exemption laws in con-
nection with the bankrupt act, and, as the
matter now stands, relief can only be had
at the hands Of Congress. With a proper
understanding of the law, and its operation
under the decision Of our local courts, there
ought to be no difficulty in reaching the
relief asked.
The facts are these: The general bank
rupt law, including amendments, allows
the discharge Of the honest bankrupt from
all debts contracted before 1869, without
showing one dollar of assets, but will not
discharge him from debts contracted since
that time, unless he can show assets to the
amount Of fly cents on the dollar upon
his Indebtedness.
The Virginia Court Of Appeals allows
The Homestead exemption State law in
the case of recent debts, but not as
against debts contracted prior to 1869.
What we need in this State is such legis-
lation on the part of Congress as will cor.
rect this anomaly for the greatest injustice
is nov done under this ruling Of our Court
of Appeals. No bankrupt, in our judg
ment, should be deprived, as he now is, o.
his exemption, because some creditor has
been sharp enough to obtain q decree OF
Judgment of a court against him before
the filing of his petition for relief. Bank
rupt exemptions should bs good
against old as well as new debts, snt
against those ia the form of decree
or Judgment as well as others. In fact
nothing but sale by public officer
made before the filing Of a petition il
bankruptcy, or voluntary pledge by
mortgage or deed OF trust, should defea
the objects of the exemption law. But al
old debt will now do it, and SO will SHARP
creditor who has an eye to grabbing tht
last dollar of an insolvent creditor, Will,
every other creditor may whistle for sigh
Of personal assets. Relief from this anon
alous state Of things is now demanded, ant
Let the action of Congress DO such as effec
tually TO reach it.

We are pleased to learn that the Post
Office committee in Congress has almost
unanimously agreed to report favorably on
the bill introduced some days ago by Mr..
Representative Porter, of this State, to SO
modify and reconcile the sections of the
postal law in regard to double postage as
to abate the evil now so generally and
widely subject of complaint. 1t seems
that the Postmaster-General has persist.
entity fought this measure of public justice,
while Mr.. Porter has just as perslstently
fought in its favor, and has now fair pros
pect to win. The public has been very
generally dissatisfied with the I'll lings o

THE oYsTtR question.


OF course something has got to be done
this session on the oyster tax question.
The anomaly of levying tax which costs
fifty per cent. of the gross proceeds to COL
lcct, is such an outrage on common sense,
to say nothing Of the elementary principles
Of political economy familiar to every tyro,
that it is safe to say something will 10
done. if 1t only be to increase the muddle
which seems fated ever to surround that
patient mollusc when brought into the
halls Of legislation.
We venture to suggest few points for
the consideration Of our lawmakers. In
the first place, shore MISUNDERSTANDING
oyster.catchers--al the world over, have
ever formed the poorest communities OF
their respective countries enjoying fewer
comforts of life than any other class, and
the least able to bear direct tax on
their labor. This results from its dam
gerous and precarious character and
the perishable nature Of the products. So
generally recognized is this fact, that 1t has
been the practice of all enlightened gov.
ernments to encourage their fishermen by
bounties, instead of crushing them with
taxes. Such has specially been the policy
of the United States with the deep sea
fishermen of New England. The object
was to raise up hardy class Of Waterman,
to furnish sailors for the navy and the
merchant marine.
But as to the oysters themselves. We
are told by naturalists that the capacity Of
the oyster for reproduction, under favora'
Bile circumstances, is practically unlimited
And it is proved by experience that thu
more the natural rocks or breeding places
of the oyster are worked, the more rapidly
does it multiply. 1t is with the oyster al
with weeds in garden--every stirring o
the soil starts fresh crop. The remova
of one but makes room for q successor
But to get the oyster in its prime it mus
be taken from its native bed like Tobacco,
or cabbage-and planted on congenia
spot, where it will have ample room AM
verge enough to grow and to be supplie'
with suitable food. Here it must remai
two or three years. These planting ground
are the shallow waters Of rivers and creeks
and are the property of the State.
Here ia the whole ease in a nutshell. tn
legislation required is simply this: Abolis
all taxes on the shipping or catching Q
oysters. Conhne the right to dredge t
vessels owned and Differed by citizens 9
the Satisfying them authority to arrel
interlopers. Lease out all the plantin
ground-withdrawing all protection fror
oysters not on leased ground.
1t is estimated that a revenue of froI
fifty to one hundred thousand dollars
year could be obta ned from the lease
grounds, at cost Of collection not exceed
ing five per cent.
These views are furnished us by ger
tleman who has paid much attention
the subject, and who processes to under
stand it, practically aud theoretically,
! all its details.

A REsoLUTIoN was offered in the House
yesterday by Mr.. Brown, of Charlotte,
calling ON the Secretary of the Common
wealth for information relating to illegal
returns by election officers, and the num-
bar of votes not counted by reason Of
errors or negligence Of election officers. 1t
is we'll known that many districts were
entirely thrown out at the late election,
and such has been the case at almost every
election. These officers are appointed by
the county courts, more generally in con-
sderation Of their political standing than
their competency. Now would it not be
more advantageous, and would not the
people be better served, were these officers
elected from each party on the bosrd to DO
the duties required. There would then
always be parties enough interested to see
that the returns were properly made.
Either give US such system that ballots
when cast will be properly counted aud
returned, or abolish the ballot and permit
che county court to appoint all officers,
sta,e and national All we ask is that votes
cast shall be honestly and iutelligsntly
counted. That this has not boon done
hoTvtofore, none will pretend TO deny.
