The City and its Neighbors.

There is. a bill which has passed the House
Of Delegates and Is now sleeping on the
Senate table relating to. Richmond and her
neighboring villages which should be en-
tirely satisfactory to everybody. When it
came up in the Senate Mr.. HOLIDAY, of
HcHrico, requested that it be laid upon the
table, as he believed that his constituents
were opposed to. it. We trust that he labors
under Misrepresentation. The bill provides
for nothing that is hostile to the interests of
anybody in or out of the city.
| In simple terms, it provides that the City
Engineer is authorized by the city authori-
lies to cause to he placed at certain dis
ta,ice beyond the city limits stones showing
the lines Of the streets of the city should its
limits be extended thus far; and that if
houses should be built on the line of those
streets the city shall not be required to pay
damages for their removal in case the city
limits are sacxtcnded as to include them.
This is all. Now, this bill is intended to
prevent the laying out ofyillages near the city
with streets not conforming to the streets Of
Richmond. Any one can see that ifa village
is laid out irrespective Of the plan Of this
city, and its limits should in time include
that village, there would be n breaking of
lines and disturbance of uniformity that
would destroy all beauty of plan and occ;l-
sion more or less Inconvenience and injury,
especially to the inhabitants Of the newly
acquired territory.
Property would be worth more in a viii
lage laid off TO correspond with the plan of
Richmond than if it were not SO laid of. 1t
would he better for the city as well rs the
villagers when their property may be SO i'll
Guided within the city.
Therefore we can sec no earthly objection
TO the bill. Every man who owns property
near Richmond ought to desire the estab-
lislmcnt of any. regulation which will en-
nance the value of his property, and this
bill will do this very thing. We hope Mr..
HOLIDAY will give it the consideration
which his intelligent and fair mind is cara-
bic of giving it, and we are sure that he will
oppose no objection TO it. .,... -.

Vallla of Money.

Look at Saturdays report Of the New York
Money Market. The rate on call loans Sc.
cured by collateral deposits was seven pei
cent, and the very best mercantile paper was
quoted at eight to ten per cent. We may be
sure that hundreds Of thousands, nay mil.
lions, are there discounted at rates higher
still. s-
We would like to know whether, i'm the
present condition Of commerce. the intimate
and rapid intercourse amongst commercial
communicative here can avoid the influ-
ence of the New York market? We must
60 up with it and come down with it. In
deed, there may be Il qualification to this ex-
tent: that temporary cause may prevail
there for day or two that may not travel
far. But VIC cannot escape the influence of
the value of money in New York for any
considerable period of time, and it will be
not only unwise, but disastrous legislation
which attempts to restrain the rate in Vir-
ginia from rising aud falling with the rates
Of interest i'll the controlling markets of the
country. e-.. .s

All correct cxccpb that Colonel CABELL,
who did make an admirable speech, will
hardly know himself rs Colonel II. CoALrEK,
from Cabcll, instead of Colonel II. CoALTER
CATELL, of Richmond. He ploughs with a
coulter sometimes in his search iuto the
depths OF subjects he considers, but CoALThR
is, nevertheless, not bis surname. He las
been one of the most devoted friends of the
Chesapeake and Ohio road, and though not
from Cabcll county (whosc name was given
fin honor of his uncle. the late JcsEru c.
CABELL,) he has been brought many days
nearer to that county by the completion OF
the great work.

should be no favored class IN t the cyes 81 ID

should be no favored class 10 the cyes 81 the
Government.
Editors can afford to pay spostagson pa,
uers they want. and they would BE relieved
by the postage from those they do not want.
This will be n great saving to them.
This will largely increase the receipts OF
thejpost- Office Department, and its revenues
will be handsomely promoted by The ADOLF
ton of the county dead.head system. The
rule has been to send newspapers free OF
charge to subscribers in the county in which
the papers are printed. There is no gooa
reason for such aregulation, and 1t Is wen
that it shonid be abolished. The man near lcs
the town the paper is printed IN is no more
entitled to the free use of the mails than NC
who is far away. The former may se' l''
paper by private hand, but he VINO Is iai
away cannot. So the man at 4 distance mos.
needs assistance. But the whole merit OF
tho question lies in a nutshell. Nobody IS
entitled to peculiar privileges in the use OF
the mails. and everybody should payfor what
he gets through them. that the postage may
be reduced to the lowest rate for all. Con-
cress has no right to saddle one part of the
people with the gratuitous benefits granted
TO another. ..... W, .r.,..
The Cincinnati Commercial has some very
proper remarks on the subject. In answer
to the plea that newspapers circulate intclli
gcuce, it says the Government is no more
bound to. circulate intelligence free than it is
to circulate pork and beans. We add that
private letters contain intelligence far moro
interesting to the people than any that tho
newspapers contain, and should therefore be
at least as much entitled to free transit as tho
newspapers. fu ~ 'cf
We hope the amendments will pass. The
newspapers that cannot get along without
Government gratuitics ought to die. The
mails ought 10 DC cheap to all and free tt
none. We protest against ali dead-headisn
in This department Of the Government. In,

mfr. GILMAN, was reported in this paper
yesterday ~ having argued in his speech IN
the House of Delegates Gin favor OF hish
rate of interest" This report was unjust to
Sir. GILLIAN. he opposed the proposed usury
law. and commended for freedom In money
and for leaving the rates of interest to the
law of supply and demand. : He fortified his
speech with vast amount Of information,
which leads to an irresistible conclusion
against all usury laws. He made strong
speech. Mr.. DooLEY, of this city, followed
Mr.. GILMAN with a forcible and unanswer-
able speech on the same side.

locality. This is a good beginning, and If the
