The officers Of the company have expend-

IDENTIFY taken advantage OF all the Inn
provements which time and taste have
demonstrated TO be OF value.
Four O'Clock was the hour appointed
TOR the transfer of the operators to their
new quarters. Quite 9 number of invited
guests were there on hand to witness the
event. Many OF those present doubtless
feared that 81 critical moment some un-
toward hitch might interfere with the
prompt uss Of the room, but at 4;So p N.
President OrtOn called the company TO
order, the operators having Q few minutes
previously filled the new station, and in
q few wsll-chosen remarks opened the
room for business. Mr. Orton oongratu-
lated the employers upon their posses
sion Of the new quarters, which, he said,
were the fruit o. twenty years expert
eBce, and which were, really, marvel of
taste and elegance.
He praised the operators for the cheer
ful alIsiduity with which their labors have
been performed, and said II they do Ra
well In ths future - in the past, the COM
pany will be ready to meet ali the de-
mands Of the public and to remove all
danger Of government interference with
the Telegraph. At hfty-two minutes past
four O'Clock every man was st WORK, and
the change Of ofacea was complete
Among the improvements in the new
room are splendid nioksl.plsted switch
boards, so nicely arranged that the wires
can he changed from one instrument TO

Complste sets Of new desks and tnstru-
menta, and the use OF steam In running
printing instruments in the copying do
partInent, are among the Improvements.
The wires are all laid under the hooEss In
cables, and the great room, one hundred

THE CIVIL SERVICE commission is
in Washington to devise machinery
by means OF which the new system
may be put in operation. A Repub-
lican correspondent says "the precipi-
tate haste of the President, liz order to
make political capital out Of the sf-
fair, has endangered the success of the
system" More time than has been
allowed was necessary to initiate the
proposed reform.

AT THE CLOSE of his life, when once
more an exile In England, Louis
Philippe uttered one of those preg-
nRnt sentences In which men sum up
their experience Of their own mis-
takes. Said he: "In France all Is
possible, the Republic, the Bona
parties, the Comte de Chambord, my
grandson-alI is possible; but nothing
Bill be permanent, car SIS ont tue Ie
espsa." Theirs is likely to realize
the correctness of this opinion from
the King he served so long and 30
faithfully. Anything Is possible in
France, but nothing is permanent,

THE PROGRESsIvENEss Of Japan po-
HticaIly and socially is something
wonderful in the history of nations,
the more remarkable because Of the
short time consumed In the change.
The basis OF the present treaties OF
Japan with civilized nations was only
procured by Commodore Perry and
signed in March, 1854, but has yet
been in force long enough to convince
the japanese government that the de-
velopment OF their country needs
more open relations with those ns-
dons, and % that end q revision Of
their treaties Is to be made previous

State Dpbt---IaNCS.

To the editor Of the 4herau1rM Gu:cifr:
Among the many suggestions that have been
made looking to reduction Of the State debt
and taxes, | am surprised that 10 one has
struck on something like the following us rca-
sonable, practicable and just:
l. Levy u poll tax on every male citizen OF
twenty one aud upwards, aud require him to
exhibit proper certificate of its payment be-
fore he votes. The tax should not be less than
IS. Then reduce the land tax proportionably.
This poll tax would produce large revenue.
Land and with it labor, would increase in
value, and the prosperity Of the State would
at once be enhanced; thing that can not
happen in Virginia while her agricultural in,
terests are depressed by adverse legislation
Viii our Legislature never learn this? Be,
sides putting money into the treasury, this
plan will help to purify the ballot box. All
good citizens will pay the tax and vote.
,. The next point is repeal the present Law
imposing school tax, or reduce it to the low
est rate, and make that poll tax too. A
more Unequal and grinding law, was never de-
vised than the present, in my opinion, DR..
Ruffner Notwithstanding. Why not tax NE
las before the Revolu,ion) to support church
as to support school? 90 TOR every man

them if he must eat oysters. | don't likeforci-
