e RICHMOND Many of the BUSH
ness blocks erected in Richmond since the
war are large and creditable to any city,
and the line dividing the architecture Of
the town before the war from that which
has come in since is plainly discernible.
Until the great fire with which the Confeder-
ate army bhghted the city on its departure,
Richmond scarcely showed the marks Of
actual war; except the burned district there
was but little damage to be repaired. The
track Of the fire is now almost obliterated,
and in its place is an active aud hourishing
centre of business. With material for iun-
limited brick-yards and exhaustless quarries
of the finest granite almost at her doors,
Richmond ought to become one ofithe
most finely built and most beautiful cities in
the country. asxt ta

Franking Privilege Abolished

The bill which passed the House OF
Representatives on Monday Of the
past wepk, by vote Of 142 yeas to
4s nays, effects a very decided politi
cal reform, in the repeal of the frank
ing privilege. 1t forces Congressman,
the President and Cabinet, Minister'S
and all public officials, to put stamps
upon their letters, and makes no pro
vision for the transmission of any
public documents and official commu'
nicatiops. The bill which passed the
House last June, made only certain
notifications in the abuse, but last
week the Senate, to the surprise o.
all, made clean sweep of the privi
lego. Through the efforts Of Mr.
Fappsworth, the bill was put upon its
passage in the House, and the over
whelming vote in its favor shows thai
public opinion has been fully enIight
ened as to the enormity of tho evi
which it proposes to remedy. The
bill works much needed reform, anc
it's success has been largely owing tc
the persistent efforts of Mr.. Creswell
the Postmaster=General.

against them, and clamorous for just

As a magician and juggler,. his variouss

however. is ventriloquism, and VIC
can not we'll exaggerate his skill in

mend his exhibitions to the patronage
of our people.

shoes, hats, and goods Of all de-
scriptions, which were unexpected
ly brought to light stored away in
hooks and corners. From this il
appears that certain parties had
made a good business out the mis-
fortunes of others. We trust that
the offenders will be vigorously
prosecuted and the law enforced
In this way alone can check be
put upon arson and larceny. We
learn that aome indignation was
manifested upon the part of the
colored, that the houses Of their
class were searced, Yet surely
there was no ground for complaint
Warrants were only issued upon
affidavit alleging. definite grounds
of suspicion, and the results of the
search surely justified the proceed
ing. Let the dishonest be punish
ed whether black or white, and we
are sure that the law-abiding with
out regard to color will enforce the
law. The accion of the Town
Coupcil, we regard as a proof Of
this.

Important Legislative Measures.

The bill to aid manufactures in
the State has passed the House, and
is now awaiting action in the Sen
ate. The Columbia Unlon is adj
vised that many capitalists at the
North have had their attention call
ed to the measure, and are only
awaiting Legislative action, before
making large investments here, and
hence urges prompt action IN the
premises.
An important bill to incorporate
the Pharmaceutical Association Of
South Carolina is now pending. II
proposes to subject all who may
desire to exercise the business o1
phamaceutist to on examination by
the Medical College of Charleston
or the State University, and impos'
es certain fees which are needed
to compensate these bodies for the
labor of the examinations. Some
such measure is needed to elevate
the science of Pharmacy, give ad'
ditional character to the apotheca,
RIGS of the State, and afford protec'
tion to the entire community.
An important measure has been
introduced into the House by Rep
resentative Meetze, Of Lexington,
which if it has no other merit may
claim that of simplicity. The bill
introduced by Mr.. Meetze proposes
to dispense with the tedious and
expensive preliminary of an inves'
tigation by simply scaling the out

The Cotton Tax,

1t was expected that Congress
would, OF the present session, rofund
the unjust and unconstitutional direct
tax upon cotton, which was imposed
at the close Of lhe war, and when the
South was in The highest degree i'm
povorished. The unconstitutionaiity
of the tax is conceded, and it would
be only an act of tardy justice to re-
fund the tax. But from the late
discussion of Mr.. Beck's bill before
the Committee of Ways and Means, it
seems that the committee will report
adversely to the bill. the vote standing
in the proportion of six against, to
three in favor Of the bill.
AS the Augusta Constitutional'ss
very appropriately says: 'Les Con-
cress restore to the Southern people
the money wrung from them in their
hour of exhaustion and deep depres-
sion, while the embers OF their DE,
stroycd dwellings had scarcely died
out, and the chimneys Of their once
happy homes still stood melancholy
ghosts of past joys, and there may be
hope of restored patriotism and q
truce to sectional bitterness. But
while the prosperous States Of the
conquerfng section continue to mock
this cry for justice and scoff at South
ern impoverishment, We may have
law and order among US. but there
can be no real peace, The govern
meut that refuses to rig't o wrong
to hep injured citizen, and wlthhoids
money that half the Judges OF her

ably claim the confidence and affection
Of that injured portion of q common

righteous claim for the present session,
it is one that cannot and will not die.

any State or section, but like Ranqno's
ghost, will rise again, session after

mony is inconclusive, yet enough
has been ascertained to warrant a
committal of the boy Joe Moore,
to answer the charge Of arson,

reached by the Council.
