IMPROVEMENTS.
Whichever way we turn our eyes, -.-
We see improvements have been made
Each seeking by some new device
To cast all others in the shade;
In commerce and mechanics too,
Great changes few years do show; !
Things which our fathers never knew,
Nor dreamed of fifty years ago.

Another Lscnrico Citizen Speaks-A
Middle View.

NfcS<r>. Editors, Under the head "The
City and It's Ncighhors the Dispatch Ct
this morning conn!ends a certain bill, which
it says has passed in the House of Delegates
and is now sleeping on the Senate table.
giving to Richmond certain rights in Hen
rico. What is this bill? 1t Is not before
me, hut my recollection is that it authorizes
the city to send out its Engineer upon every
l0at OF ground outside and within two miles
Of the present limits of Richmond and lay
out streets. which are to be defined by stones
erected along them, and in case the owners
erect houses afterwards encroachng on them
the city shall not be required TO pay damages
for their removal in case the city limits are
ever so extended rs TO include them.
The Dispatch thinks this bill "should nc
entirely satisfactory 10 everybody" In its
present shape it will doubtless he so to every
body living IN Richmond. TO nobody out
side. 1t might be 50 arncnded as to make ii
tearable to all. Insofar as its object is to
make Richmond in the future Il symmetrical
city in case it grows to be another London
| in population, ii is go0d-rery good The bill
| in lis present onc-sdcd shape is simply an
outrage upon the rights of all the people en-
byaccd within the two miles outside of the
present city limits. They could not sell their
| lots or lands except al sacrifices without the
following amendments:
lst. The contemplated surveys and maps
should be made and returned in one year.
cd. The map OF The district, with all its
streets, should be accompanied with proGlcs
showing, with accuracy, the grade of each
street, and providing that if ever these
grades arc altered the city OF Richmond shall
pay to the landowners injured thereby all
damages sustained by them.
Sd. That the tops of all stones erected
shall he buried at least one foot below the
sllrtace-@rOund.
These amendments touch closely the inter
cSts of all the people embraced within the
proposed circuit oftwO miles outside the city
limits. Until the streets arc defined and the
grades established sales must be suspended
or made at n sacrifice. The grading is all
important. else much of any new building
will be done Mt the risk of having the
houses either alongside Of heavy filings or
deep cuttings. For eXemplifcation of this,
look within the present limits Of the city
Recent grading has left hundreds Of houses
perched on high banks and Others basement
deep. Common fairness would say the
owners should have damages. What says
the City Council? What says the City
| Attorney? Not cent!
Then, as to the corner-stones. Unless placeC
under the ground the plough will soon dis
lodge them; and until that is done they vii
greatly interfere with cultivation.

prosperity. A moiety of my property is in

the two miles l can therefore look on th
bill with fairness as between Richmond ant

QUICK WoEK.-The congregation Of the
Third Presbyterian church determined few
weeks since to build Il temporary house Of
worship to serve them until such time lis
all apprehensions as to the safety Of their
church building shall he removed. Accord
ingly, with commendable zeal they went to

their l,bors is large and commodious

three hundred and fifty to four hundred
persons, which is well heated and well
lighted. This tabernacle is Situated on the
vacant lot nearly opposite the church, and, as
announced elsewhere, will be so far finished

This work, commenced and completed
within ten days, is Il standing evidence That

TIE PgNITESTIAEY QUESTIoS-1Ts LEASE
AND REMovAI..--As the bill for the removal
aul lease of the State pcnitentiary will soon
come up in the House of Delegates, Mr..
Gilman Yesterday opportuneiy laid before
the House Of Delegates the petition of 1,acO
mechanics and worknSmen Of this city in
opposition to the lease and in favor Of The
removal Of said institution. The petitioners
say:
1--WE, the undersigned, mechanics and
worklngmcn Of Richmond, State of Viz
Slnia, observing from your proceedings that
Il proposition il now before the Legislature
for leasing out the pcni,cntiary and prison-
ers for the purpose of establishing some
large manufacturing operation, and bclicv-
iug that the effect Of such an act would not
only bring into competition the labor Of tue
convict with that Of the honest labor OF
the country, hut would inevitably blight
the hopes II the ariizan and forever seal the
doom OF the mechanic in degrading him to the
level Of The criminal !; and believing tiE,t it's
not only requirement OF justice but the
lruc policy OF the Legislature to foster
and protect the mechanic arts and elevate
them TO position with the learned profess
sious rather than dehase and degrade to the
level Of the convict, we humbly pray your
honorable body TO avert this evil by placing
the criminal in such Il position us not 10 be
brought into contact with honest labor. and
| to remove the peniteniiary to some point
away from the city, where their labor would
bc useful To the State
This petition only reached our delegates
yesterday, it having been used in showing
members from The country the feeling of our
mechanic, and wolkingmen i'll regard to the
pcnitcntiary. We arc sure thepetition will
have is elect when the subject comes up.
