For the Dispatch.

Mr.. Editor,-Docs the bill for the extension
of streets through the suburbs of Richmond
| into Uenrico condemn the streets without
| paving the propcrty-owDers. for them Ii
50. il is 4 gross injustice, md unconStltll-
tional., II the streets are thus condemned,
| valuable houses o in the line of the streets
| will Nus be condemned also, and wrestcd
| from the owners. / have not the bill before
| me. 1t is earnestly requested that the peO-
plc OF, Henrico interested in this bill will
meet nj the next Hcnrico court, at II o'clock,
TO consider this bill and protect their IN
teleSts.
February 18th. HESEIco.
p. S.-If my superstition is correct. Rich
mond wants 4 park, and may as we'll get the
Legislature to condemn the land Of Ucnrico
without payin" the owners for it. I'll.
Certainly not. We have not the bill be-
fore uk, but we are sure thati it has no such
feature in it. Any houses now on the ground
which is to be taken for streets would have
TO be paid for, of course. The bill is in
tended to prevent the erection of houses
upon such ground hereafter. The citizens
of Henrico are very vcrdant if they shall
hold q meeting to prevent The Legislature
from doing what the Constitution forbids-
namely, the taking OF private property for
public purposes without compromising the
owners. Let the meeting, however, he held,
and let Senator WYSNE, the patron of the
Till, address his country constituents upon
the subject. and we have no fears that they
will tenourcc il any longer.
We have received another communication
upon this subject, which is so manilcst)y
based upon Il misrepresentation OF the nature
Of the bill that we will not publish it, since
il would have to he relutcd from beginning
to end. There is bat one point i'll it worthy
oil publication, and that is that the city has
no right TO prevent landowners from using
their lands It's they please. True enough.
But if the Legislature tells you beforehand
that though you may use your lands as you
please; yet, if you buiIda house where you
know a street is TO run in Il few years. you
must do ii at yoUr OWL risk, il does you no
wrong. You have 10 right to put up q house
Just for The purpose of having it taken down
at the expense Of the city. If it is to be
twenty or fifty years before the city is ex-
tended, you will still not he wron@cd: for
your l;uu>vs WIZ have comet to ruin before its
extension. But VIC trust that most land
owners will decide to build no such houses.

Observation-Disclosures desirable it may
be to encourage the establishment Of manu-
featuring houses in this city by exemptiug
all such from taxation for Il term Of years, it
is well enough to remember that 10 make
such exemption is not within the power Of
the General Assembly. The Constitution
provides that all property, both real and per-
sonal, shall be taxed in proportion to its
value. The people Of the country in this
State will not allow US Of the cities to en-
courage the bringing of capital into the State
for any purpose. 1t would be u waste of
time to ask them to agree to exempt manu-
featuring establishments from taxation even
for one year.

Mr.. Cox, of New York, who lectured here
a few years ago, and has many friends in
Richmond, is always getting OF something
witty. Last Saturday, in the House of Re
representatives. at Washington, from "Satirc
and Satirists," by JAMES HASNAr, 4 Scotch
scholar, he read an extract, which he said
the House would do well to remember:
"a wag of that period, who was also a
screw, once exclaimed while he WAS eating
oysters, : What grand thugs oysters would
be If one could make ones servants live OH
the shells.'"s lLaughter.l "They achieved
that in government for the parties got the
oysters, and the people got tie shells"
(Laughter.]
lfanybody has beaten this hit of the amy
Scotchman, we do not know who he is.

SMALL-PoX.-There is not now. and there
has not been at any time within the past
twelve months, any such prevalence of the
smallpox in Richmond as would warrant
visitors in being even the least uneasy on
the subject. The report made to the City
Council OH Monday evening last, and which
was noticed in our paper Of yesterday, WAS
for the entire season.. Only twenty-siX cases
of smallpox have occurred in all this fine in
this city of nearly sixty thousand inhabi-
tants. The most distinguished writer of the
day says that mcn are totally incapable of
forming Il correct Judgment in all cases
wherein their hopes or fears are involved.
and cites among many other facts illustrating
the assertion the utterly unreasonable appre-
tensions Which timid people feel when in
London one person in twenty thousand is
dying every week from smallpox. Rich
mond has not had even this low average.
and we should not think the matter worthy
Of SO much notice as we have herein given
it ii we were not apprehcnsivc that the par
agraph in our paper Of yesterday might be
misunderstood.
