One Citizen Of Hcnrico who Objects.

To the Editors Of the Dispntch:
In the editorial of the Dispatch Of the 10Th
instant headed "The City and Neighbors
YOU say. in reference to bill for the future
extension Of The limits Of the city of Rich
mond, that Mr.. Holiday requested that it be
laid upon the table, as he believed that his
constituents were opposed to if, ctr.
Permit me to gay that this bill is con-
sidcrcd, to Use the mildeSt term, an outrage
upon the rights of portion of the people of
the county, and so regarded by them. The
people Of the county are opposed TO the bill
for many good reasons, and Senator Holiday
should be honorcd for his devotion to the
wishes and interests of his constituents in
moving to lay the bill upon the table.
The property-holdcrs within two miles Of
the present city limits do not desire to be
taken under surveillance Of the corporate
authorities of the city Of Richmond, and this
bill authorizes the exercise Of that power,
and directly Restraints them from using their
property in their O,Cn Tdy without any
equivalent or remuneration by the city.
In fact, this bill gives an inchoate, if not q
vested. right to the city to have the two
miles of territory annexed at its own plea
sure by any future Legislature and in this
particular the bill contains poison Of the most
dangerous character, INDEPENDENT of its
manifest injustice and infringement upon
the rights Of the property holders Of the
COUNTY.
In truth. the bill is in violation of the
spirit, il not of the letter, of the ConStitu.
lion which prohibits private property to be
taken for public use without a just compen-
sation. TO say the least of it, this bill makes
long stride in that direction.
I could extend these remarks, showing
the dangerous and arbitrary power that is
sought Ivy This bill over the rights of the
property-holdcr of the county, had | the
space in your paper; but this must now sut-
flee. l will, however, state that if it is
urged that this bill does not exercise any re-
straint upon the property of the
county in the free use of the same, and does
not give any rights to the city OF Richmond
over the stated limits, it is then a.lseess bill,
and ought not to be passcd. But conceive
its design and scope is manifest.
