BE ON YOuE GUARD.

Let the friends Of general railroad law
for Virginia be on their guard against cum
bering the bill introduced by Major Suther-
lin with unnecessary amendments. The
danger now is, that the opponents of the
measure will seek to load it down with
amendments, so as ultimately to kill the
bill; or, if that be found Impossible, to
render it practically imperative by reason
of its multiplied provisions. The bill as
drawn is clear, specific, and congruous in
all its parts, and the less it is tempered
with the better. 1t provides for the organi.
cation Of companies for the designation
and location Of lines Of road f; for the con.
struction and operation Of the same fol
the proper supervision by the State over
them; and has been carefully prepared
with the laws Of other states as guide tt
needful provisions, and the friends Of this
important aud much-needed law should
vote against all amendments that ere
not manilestly in harmony with the
leading provisions assembodied in the origi
nal draft.

THURSDAY EVENING, JAN. 8, 1873.

LET every man who owns real estate
in Virginia consider how vitality he is
interested in cheap transportation. The
value of all property is dependent upon its
accessibility, more than any other fact.
Where is it? is the great question which
decides the market value of lands, forests,
mines and every species of real estate.
Whoever wants to sell this kind Of proper
ty must show that it is near q railroad.
Now what is the policy which insures the
greatest possible development of railroad
building? Clearly that which removes
every possible obstacle, which lifts this
great interest from the narrowness of spe-
cial privileges to the broad platform Of free
competition. With a general railroad law
tpo miles will be built where one mile ,cill
be under the old system. The market
value of all real estate will rapidly adj
vance, and those who have land to sell will
be enabled to realize on it, at fair figure.
Thus vast amount of capital, locked up
in lands, will be released to help improve
the State.
But this is not all. Manufactures require
perfected and convenient communications
to concentrate raw material and distribute
the perfected products Of industry. We
have in our State vast and matchless re-
sources and remarkable facilities for con-
verting them into forms of use. But we
are disadvantaged by an immense discrimi-
nation against us as compared with the cit
liens of other states, in the matter of
freights and passenger rates. We require
freights as cheap as those in the North to
enable our operators to compete with
theirs. THIS is the first step towards free
dom from slayish dependence upon distant
communities fer everything but the coars-
est products.
The way 10 get wholly independent of
outsiders is to open the ecay. freely for them
10 come here and build railroads for as,
prejudical as it may seem at first. Then
we can get capital and skilled labor to
come among us, and not only supply our
own wants but build up perennial sources
OF wealth for others in our State.
Every man in Virginia who has a legiti-
mute business is vitality interested in the
adoption of free railroad law. Every
farmer, and mechanic and manufactures
should do all in his power to secure the
adoption of Sutherlin's bill.

THE condition of ex Emperor Napoleon
still continues critical. it seems doubtful
whether he will come through his present
illness safely. The second Surgical opera
ton was performed at Chiselhurst on Mon
day, and it is said the Emperor suffered
much, but rather from constitutional dis.
turbance than from the effects of the ope-
ration. Expressions of sympathy are
forthcoming from many unexpected quar-
tiers, showing once more that time and
misfortune soften the asperities epgendcred
by passion. The masses ofthe French people
may yet come to believe, as the unprecedented
have long been assured, that the good in the
ex-Emperor's public career far outweighed
the evil. France, more enlightened in the fu-
ture than she has been, or is at present,
may also learn that his reign brought to
her prosperity that she had never before
experienced, and that worthless dema
gogues, rather than the invalid of Chsel'
hurst, were really responsible for her late
misfortunes.

THE Hon. Robert Brown Elliott, col
ored member of Congress from South Car
DINA, who was candidate for the United
States Senate in the late contest, takes a
somber view of the situation. He thinks
that money was used very freely to secure

THEreport that the Committee on Com
merce of the House of Representatives will
probably report favorably on the bill in-
troduced by Mr.. Negley, of Pennsylvania,
appropriating eight millions towards the
completion of the James River and
Kanawha Canal, is one that must be ex-
ceedipgly gratifying to the people of this
State. The measure has been received
with great favor in unexpected quarters, and
it is understood that it especially finds APP
prevail in commercial circles, and is looked
upon as one of the mostjudicious and valua-
BILE suggestions contained in the Presidents
late message. The work once commenced
by Congress, will no doubt be pushed for
ward to an early completion. For at least
four months in the year, it will be the
exclusive channel of cheap transportation
between the great grain-growing West and
the manufacturing and commercial East.

THE Lynchburg Vuginian says that a
prominent citizen of Virginia, well known
to its editor as gentleman of probity and
enterprise, offers the State the sum of
100000 annually, for the exclusive privi-
lege of gathering oysters in Virginia waters.
The privilege is no doubt worth much
more; but even this sum would be a great
advance upon what is now received. The
revenue heretofore derived from this source
is only $4,000 annually. while the cost of
collection is $50, 900 leaving the net reve-
nue. only $4,000. By farming out the
privilege to one man, as proposed, we
should realize five times as much as we
get now. The Vigiaian thinks larger
bid might be secured-which would 60 a
great way towards defraying the expenses
of the State government.

1t is time now to make selections Of

The first steamboat navigated in the
world, says an exchange, was run as a
passenger and freight boat on the Della
ware, between Philadelphia, Burlington,
Bristol, Chester, Wilmington, etc., during
the summer of 1880, advertising her trips
regularly in the newspapers, and passing
over three thousand miles in that time.
This was seventeen years before the Cler-
mont. Robert Fulton's first steamboat, nav
igated the Hudson river. If these are his
torical facts, it need not be difficult to sub
stantiate them; but nobody should be
asked to believe them without conclusive
testimony.

THE wool product of the United States
in 1871, was about 15s, 100000 pounds.
In addition TO this product, the annual inn
portation Of wool amounts to about 6S,-
100000 pounds, at a cost of nearly slO,-
100000. We also import wooden goods
to the amount of about $44 100000. There
is room, therefore, for an increase OF IL
100000 more sheep in the country to sup
ply the home demand for wool, and for
about 10 900, 900 to displace the importa-
ton Of wooden goods. Virginia might raise
six or eight million of these to the greatest
possible profit, but our Lawmakers have
such love for dogs-for the noble
breeds that notably steal sheep
that there is no use trying. 1t
used to be said that human shiftlessness
could be determined by the number of
dogs man kept. If he had one dog, he
was Enthusiastically poor; if two, devilish
poor; if three, poor devil and so on, in
the accumulative ratio of shiftlessness,
until it reached the man who had a dozen,
who not only had to steal for living him
sell, but to teach all his dozen dogs to steal,
on the principle that self-preservation is
| the first law of nature among dogs
| as well as men. The Legislature
seems very anxious to cultivate favor with
all the "poor devils" in the State, and
we only wish they had to seat dog !"
instead of mutton for one or two consecu-
tive sessions 1t would do them good.

THE boys of New York have their little
peculiarities. For instance, they SNOWFALL
ed a man to death there on New Years day.
The fun and amusement inseparable from
the affair must have been immense but if
they could be persuaded to turn their at
teution to horses, and thereby get them
selves into the hands of Mr.. Bergh, the re-
suits of their pleasantries would be more
satisfactory. They can SNOWFALL man
to death without fear of punishment; but
Bergh keeps watchful eye on the ami

THE export of iron rails from Great
Britain to tne United States for the eleven
months If 1877, ending with November,
was AL ,O74 tons, against 473,6S7 tons in

of pig iron to the United States in the ele-
ven months of 1872 was 1S5,S46 tons,
against 40, 160 tons in corresponding time
