To the Editors of the Richmond Dispatch ::
The completion Of the Chesapeake and

important epochs in the history of the State.
How many patriotic Virginians most earn
estly wishing to see this long-desired con-
nection between the tides ut Richmond and
the Ohio river have passed from the
scene of existence without witnessing that
which we have been allowed to see COM
pletcd within the last few days! 1t is an
event of such magnitude, and bearing SO in
timately on the future prosperity and de.

becoming in the State, city, and railroad
tduhoritles to fix upon some day in spring
when it can be fttingly Celebrated day
when the magnificent scenery OF the coun-

Let US Invite on the 9th OF May the repre-.

Worse and Worse.

The developments of the Credit-Mobilier
Investigation arc worse and worse for Gene
raj DIX, the present Governor of New York.
There are strong indications that he received
as gift 500 shares of the Union Pacific stock,
and that the company was constrained, by n
threat, to pay him par for his stock when it
was greatly below par. The exact words Of
the threat were not stated in evidence, but it
was suggested that they purported to be a
threat that he would damage the credit of
the company in Paris, where loan of $780,
0OO, 900 was sought, if bis stock was notpur-
chased by the company at par. Poor old
General DIX. Avarice is one of the curses
of old age. If it has existed in the heart. at
all it DEVELOPS itself more and more pas
sionatey rs a man comes nearer bis grave. 1t
is the greatest of vices, and brings a man
lower than any other. All the sacrifices Of
opinion and sentiment that DIX has made, do
not impair bis standing in this world nor his
prospects, in the next like this painful display
of avarice.

, Civil-Seryice Reform.

The Washington correspondent OF '"e
| PHILADELPHIA Press gives the following en-.
couraglng information in relation to the con-
di,ion and prospects of civil-servicc reform
It rests with every administration to do as II
7 pleases; but if General GRANT succeeds IN
| maintaining the system of ciYil-service re-
form 1t will have powerful effect upon the
| next Administration. We must suppose that
President will gladly get rid of the
opportunities of ofticc.hunters, and, 1t sup
ported by the successful application of civil.
service reform by the President that pre-.
cedes him. he will hardly fail to take refuge
behind it to save himself from one Of the
greatest annoyances to which man was ever
subjected the solicitation and persistent
obtrusiycness Of hungry oflicc-hunters. The
letter-writcr says:
"By invitation of the President, George
William Curtis and other members of the
Advisory Board of the Civil Service met the
Cabinet during the past week at the EXecu-
tive Mansion for the purpose. of interchang-
Ing views as to the operation of the ciyll.ser-
VICE fulcSs u6 JcSlIlllOLf vi all tuC N<abihNe
officers was unexpectedly favorable. 1t was
conceded that as rule the persons entering
the service under the new system arc superior
in both capacity and efficiency to those APP
pointed under the old plan, and that the
cessation of importantly for Office is great
relief. There is no likelihood that the Ad-
ministration will recede from the rules asap-
piled to the New York custom.house, where
the pressure for place has always been
greatest. The prospect seens to be that
their operation will be extended.
at is well known that the members OF
the Cabinet were not at first generally in
accord with the Presidents views as to
either the necessity for the reform or the fea-
sibiity Of the plan proposed, and their testl-
mony rs TO the success Of the rules may there
fore be accepted as conclusive.
"The attitude Of Congress towards the
measure has also greatly changed since the
beginning of the session. Finding the Pre-
sident is in earnest in enforcing the rules,
Congress seems disposed to allow him TO
carry out the measure without opposition,
or at least without obstructing legislation.
The relief from importantly extends to Con-
gress rs well as to the executive officers, and
it is believed that many members are glad to
be relieved Of what was at best a'more dis
agreeable task than privilege which they
should care to retain"

Tue GREELEY WILL.-All must admire the
noble uct Of the daughters Of the late Mr..
GREELEY in withdrawing from strife about
their fathers wlI-from a malignant and
scandaous wrangling over his grave. TO
put an end to proceeding SO painful pro.
position was made on behalf Of the young
ladies to take the case out Of court; but the
adverse party was too heartless and avari-
cious to agree to the proposition, and
promptly rejected it. Then the Misses GREE
LEY withdrew from the court and left the
case to its fate. The pecuniary remains OF
the lamented philanthropist will probably be
surrendered to the wolves. The proposed
subscription in behalf of the young ladies,
which was so promptly rejected by them
some time since, would be quite appropri.

Tar on Charters.

:. q
Z ssThrre IA nm the statute-book of this state
a law taxing charters. e., taxing al ".s
;app,y for an act of incorporation cer'a'u
per cent upon the capital proposeo III .ns
charter. This sum is required before inc
.annl;caf,on receives any attention, ana II tha'
he rejected the tax paid is forfeit 70 the
State. 81
This law is discreditable to the State and
,onposed TO wise policy. Most States-ex'
cent. possibly, such as Paraguay under DR.
FaascrA- encourage enterprises and freely
grant charters to manufacturing and in,-
.proyement companies, often exempting them
from taxation as an indncement and eneou-
fragment Of their undertakings, 1t being
rightly considered that every new manuiac-
tory, every new road, and every new inVen-
ton, promotes the public wealth and the
public convenience. What. teen, should DC
thought OF q State which shows hostility
TO such enterprises through onerous burthens
and difficulties thrown In their way!
T., 1t may be said that the law was intended
to obstr,,ct what are known as pockctschar-
tcrs. which are obtained merely to be sold at
a profit. But, then, the Jaw makes no dis
tinction between such speculative charters
and others that are honest in purpose. They
are all put in the same category which is
most unjust. 1t may be answered that such
o discrimination can't be made, and that
condemns the law as one that should not
have been enacted, and one that is grossly
discreditable to craftsmanship.
e. 1t is the province Of the Legislature'to
consider the petitions of the people, and 1t
is an iufraction of the spirit of our institu-
lions to put tax upon them. Is not the
body able to take care of itself9 Can it not
control its own acts /? Should it endeavor
to evade the responsibility of considering
the applications Of citizens by excluding
them through taxation?
The Senate has honorcd itself by passing
h bill repeating this law-this Paraguayan
net this prohibition of public enterprise
and we trust the House will act in an equally
cre,litable way. If the law gratifies any pri-
yate interest, that can form no ground for
its retention on the statute-book; and since
It Is opposed to the public interests and the
wisest policy, 1t should be at once repealed.

the first place, that this bull does moi aliecs
newspapers at all. The poshse on news.
napers is left as before. The Senate nave cut
off Off the provisions OF the bill which were then
in Il providing for the stamping OF Official
documents, and have sent as back the Dill
abolisbing the franking privilege, and con-
tanning nothing else.
Having made this correction, we'will add
that we are not opposed to both the omitted
features being added to the law.
