Tha 7 legislature Adjourned.

r,,o n.,.r.I Assembly adjourned yester-
sav evening after an extra sessio" VI zen
80. Tho deliberations OF the extra session
,rere confined to tho tax and appropriation
RIM and n resssessment bill, which is sup
elemental bill to the reassessiaent bill PFC
vtous,y passed, ss,d was intended to give
time 10 counties which had failed to provide
for rcassessing the lands by the time pre-
seribcd in the first bill
There was more tractability in the General
Assembly during the extra session than in
the regular session and there was no unne'
oessary delay in its proceedings.
The session Is over, and the members will
now 60 home to receive sentence of public
opinion. Our opinion is that there Is much
dissatisfaction amongst the people not that
we have heard from them, but we know the
people to he possessed of a great deal OF
practical good sense, and therefore they cam
not be we'll pleased with the doings of the
Legislature.
First-A large portion of the people had
been deluded into the idea that there was to
be great things done IN tho way Of relief
from public and private debts, and these
have been disappointed.
Second-There was another large part OF
the people who were opposed to any dis.
turbance Of the law about the payment OF
the public debt. They have been much
vexed by the wild notions of members but
then they are greatly consoled that what was
done was SO much less injurious than they
had unprecedented.
Third-All parties are dissatisfied that so
much time was wasted in discussions OF vi
stonary and radical schemes, which were
utterly impracticable, and which If accom-
plished would have been ruinous to the
State;
There was great want Of experience In
the Legislature. The practice afforded the
inexperienced during the session just con-
Guided, and the time for reflection they will
have during the recess, will enable them to
do much better next winter. at least we
hope 80. There Is clearly room for improve
ment.

Western Travel.

Every stage of progress Of the Ihesapeake
ard Ohio railroad eastward has o. positive
effect on trayel--increasing steadily the num- as1l
Der Of passengers to aud FRO between the
East and the, Nest The special telegram 10.
this paper yesterday announced that the
cars were running to n point twen's'SM
miles east of Charleston, Kanawha.--'' e.
very near to the Gauley river where II emp
ties into New river and forms the hanaWha'
From there to the White Sulphur Springs
the distance is about sixty miles, when,
with GOOD roads, should be performed IN
seven or eight hotrs. AS soon as the spring
winds and sun dry up the road it VIII DC
fine, and travel will not be much delayed
and very little incommoded by staging.
The railroad will move steadily eastward,
and will be finished to the White Sulphur,
possibly, in autumn. The only delay that IS
considered predetermined is on account OF the
Big Bend tunnel, on New river. The last
accounts from that work were highly la'ora-
bic. ,rhe rock was easily bored, ana the
progress through it was so rapid tnat tns
contractors gave it as their opinion that the
tunnel would be through much earlier than
had been anticipated, and that therefore the
road would suffer no delay on account OF
that tunnel. ..-.
Every mile that this great road advances
along the gap now lying between the TWO
ends Of the line excitcs in the breast OF every
man whose hopes are fixed upon the work a
thrill OF delight. We lad been disappointed
for SO long time that despair of ever seeing
a road between Richmond and the ONO had
almost taken possession OF our hearts. AT
last II powerful company has taken it IN hand
and will complete it in a little over two years
from the time they undertook it. We were slow
to put faith in the probability of such con-
summation; but with the irresistible proof
that is given that such is to be the fact, we
ncouiesce in the grateful conviction, and our
Joy rises steadily with every mile of progress
made by the road. We are sure we are IN
this but describing the feelings of our cltl-
zcns, and that we fully appreciate their satls-
faction ut the near approximation OF the
great blessing of uninterrupted railway COM
munication between Richmond and the ONO
and the Mississippi Valleys.

TAsrE.--A very intelligent southern lady
In one Of. the European capitals writes home
that she was invited to party at the house
of the Secretary of the American Legation

was an American, and that it was proper that
she should accept the invitation, she did SO.

Gas and Something Else.

We sec it stated that the city of Peters
burg has to pay $3.50 per thousand cubic feet
for the gas consumed by her street lamps and
In her public offices. There the works are
owned by company. In this city the works
are the property of the corporation, and they
are, according to the late report of Mayor
KELLEY, exceedingly profitable. After pay
ing ordinary expenses there was last year
clear profit Of $4,000, while 12,76s, psi feet
of Gas was consumed by street lamps and
public offices. Now if the city had to pay
for it at the rate OF $3.50 per thousand feet,
that would be an addition to the clear gains
Of the works of s44,G9s. The whole profit
the last year would then appear to be SO, 1868,
the interest on more than million of dol
bars.
Every business man will say that the in
vestment in the Gas Works was wise one,
and that the city should never surrender
them to a corporation. But it is proper
always to count the cost of the gas used BY
the city Dis part Of the profits OF the works,
because were they not owned by the city the
people would have to be taxed to pay for
what the city consumed.
In view of the exceedingly profitable ma.
ture Of the gas department, 1t would be
clearly the interest Of Richmond that the
consumption Of gas should be increased.
And yet, when recently discussing the ques-
ton of the annexation Of Manchester to
Richmond, 1t was objected that annexation
would subject the city to expense in laying
down pipes to supply Manchester with gas
This was nothing more nor less than an OBJ
lection to making more money for the city
treasury.
There could be no better illustration of the
general character Of the objections to annexa
ton. They simply were objections to public
benefits. To have more customers for gas,
which paid so much profit, was more than
Richmond. could endure! And SO town
Of 1000 people, which was offered to her for
nothing, which would bring a dowry-a
basis Of credit broader for her wants than
that which Richmond has in proportion to
her wants-was looked upon as burthen toe
heavy for Richmond to support! Every
ground Of objection to the consummation OF
this most advantageous proposition ever made
to the city was pregnant with benefit.
Let us not forget that the Gas-Works are
the best property that Richmond has let hei
never part with them, and thus subject hel
people to the mercy of a private company
and by all means let us remember that the
more gas consumers We have the greater the
profits from the works.
