PAssAGEoF A NEW DOG ORDINANCE.
The City Council made some progress last
night upon the dog question, and the public
are indebted to w. b. ~lSaacs, Esq, chair
man Of the committee on ordinances, for
the step taken. This gentleman offered an
ordinance to amend the present ordinance
in relation to dogs-making any one keep
ing and owning an unlicensed dog or bitch
in the city liable to a fine of S. any one
.harboring a dog or bitch for five days to be
taken as the owner the inlormer to receive
half the fine. The rule was suspended,
and the ordinance passed.
Our citizens will agree with us that this
is q long stride in the right direction, and
that the Council is deserving of the thanks
of the community. We think they will
agree with us, too, when we say that the
merits of the dog case have not yet been
fully reached. A licensedscur is as liable
to do harm as an unlicensed one; and until
u streets are freed from the canine spe-
cies, the question cannot be regarded as
having reached a satisfactory solution.
There is no reason why the dogs should
have any more privileges than the hogs.
The latter are comparatively harmless, if
they are nasty. The former are both harm
full and nasty.

THE BARBERs.-The moral sentiment
of the community must unite in applauding
the action of the BARRIERS in petitioning the
Council to force them to close their shops
on Sunday. The same sentiment, and every
other sentiment of propriety, must also
applaud the Council for the wisdom and
precaution exhibited in referring the petit
ton to a committee for investigation and
report. We trust that our citizens may
have it in their to commend the COM
mittee, after they shall have made their
report. for the necessary shrcwdness in
handling the seemingly plain, fair, and
honest proposition of the tonsorial frater-
nifty. If the barber shops are closed
ON Sunday, in conformity with the voluntary
petition of the proprietors, as they ought to
be, we trust the committee and the Council
will see that the suspension of operations is
complete, and that the very fact that it is
made unlawful to shave a man on Sunday
is not made the pretext here, as it is in many
other cities. for illicit trade at extortionate
In plain words, let them see that
the prohibition asked for is not a trick, but
a bona tide, honest, and thorough reform.
One law with no,side or back door, is worth
3 dozen with these apertures leading to
easy evasion.

your correspondent can truly say that he
made one of the most sensible and c~oncilia-
tory speeches that he has ever listened to.
He enjoined unity and harmony upon the
colored people Of this county, and gave
them some advice which, if followed, would,
be of great service to them. The impress
sion left upon the minds of all who had
the good fortune TO hear him, was that he
is one of the first men of his race in the
State.
But the soul-stirring speech of the even
ing, was made by our young friend Captain
Geo. w. Finney, of the county of Franklin.
He was applauded to the echo, and every
man present after hearing that speGch, de-
termined to work with still more vigor for
the success of our Presidential and Con-
OCCASIONAL candidates.
Mr.. Osborn Irving, of this county,
concluded the speaking and gave his
views in a forcible manner which added
to the well known fact that he is one
of the hardest workers for the Republican
cause in this county, caused him to be lis
tened to with marked attention though it
was nearly dark when he commenced to
speak and many had to walk a long dis
lance home.
After a vote of thanks to the chairman,
the meeting adjourned amidst great en-
thusiasm.
From every indication your correspond
ent thinks is safe in saying that Pittsylvania
county will give General Grant at least
three hundred majority. Yours, &C.,

The City MARKETs.-The Wing of
this morning speaks to the point as follows:
1.-THE fact may not be generally known,
but it is nevertheless true, that the City
Council has abandoned the citizens of Rich
mond to the tender mercies of the hucksters
in the markets, the explanation being that
it is impracticable to enforce any ordinance
regulating the sale of produce at those
places. The consequence is that forestall-
ers have the control of prices, and, of
course, they put them exorbitantly high.
We have been informed that it is a daily
practice in the markets for this class Of
hucksters to buy up the contents of mar
ket carts, and retail the same at their
stands, at such advance as they can exact
from the public. This may be called ''free
trade" but we think it is not far
from a crime against humanity that
should be surnnarily stopped. Let
the Council pass a stringent ordinance
against forestalling, and at the same time
authorize the chief of police to employ I'M
kRoaoR detectives to aid the clerks of the
markets in enforcing the law. Then it may
happen that some of the land sharks will
be brought to grief"
All must agree that it is q sad condition
of affairs when a city acknowledges its in
ability to protect its citizens from any out
rage. What right has it, then, to tar its
citizens? If the market places are subject
to no law, we had better abolish them, and
thus get rid of the expense of keeping them
open for the benefit of persons who are be-
yond restraint. 1t is not only practicable
but necessary for the good of the city that
the sale of produce in the markets should
be regulated by law, and not left wholly
to the m%anipulations of hucksters and mid
dle-men.

The Petersburg Greeley and Brown Club
Twenty-one Offices Fiiled-n LiberaIn Re-
publicans with no Constituency Left Out
Shameful Treatment of the Patriots.
PETERSBURG, VA.
July %, 1872
To The Editor QfHe State Journal:
Our city papers this morning publish a
full list of the officers of the Petersburg
Greeley and Brown Central Club, and it
makes a formidable array. just see how
these Democrats "hanker arter" office !
1t takes twenty-one of them to officer one
little club !! But we are a little curious to
learn what has become of all the Greeley
and Brown Republicans of Petersburg.
We find the familiar names of old time
Democrats such as Collier, Cameron, Raul
ston, and Thad. Young in the list of Off
GERS, but "nary q one of a Liberal"
there. Where are G. Baker Raine and w.
Ii. Gentry? Echo answers, where 2"
What means this snubbing of those disin-
terested patriots who sacrificed so much for
their country in that long and circuitous
Journey to Cincinnati? Are they "going
back " on those generous souls, who lost
so much time and spent so much money to
represent nobody in putting "liberal" II.
G.. upon the track as a candidate to be COB
bled up by the Democrats?
What base ingratitude! What refine
ment of cruelty, to destroy that beautiful
"~castle in the air." from which the lone
Liberal Republicans were to dispense Fed
crat patronage to the hungry crowd under
Greeley! Well, we are sorry for our lib
eral ''true Republican, friends, but we
can't pity them much. If they hadn't
been fooled once with Walker, we would
not have blamed them so much for being
humbugged with Greeley. But we did not
expect our frieads to get tipped out'' so
soon. We certainly think they ought to
have waited, as they did in the Walker
humbug, until after the election. But the
Democrats found that the Cincinnati Ere
publican" representatives had no constitu-
ency at their backs, and the 'out and outers'
oanted all tie offices. So it would never
do to allow any man who had ever borne
the name Of Republican, or any colored
man to have any part in the management
of the Greeley campaign, because if Ii. G..
should get in there might be some embar-
RAISING claims set up for offices as rewards
for political services.
1t has been said that Republics are I'M
grateful" it is evident that political parties
are more so. t'
