New MOTIVE POWER FOR STREET
CARs.-We have not yet despaired of eff
Gent street railway service in Richmond.
If sufficient energy and liberality can be
found among our citizens to take up and
apply the new inventions which are rapidly
revolutionizing the service in other cities,
we shall be able to master our heavy grades
handsomely, have cars running wherever
public convenience requires them, dispense
with the expensive and troublesome use of
horses, and ride at one-half the present
rates without reducing the profit of COM
panies.
The latest invention for the application
of steam as the motive power for street
cars, is that of DR.. Lanno, of New Orleans,
which has been tested on one of the roads
in the Crescent City and found to work
most successfully, saving thirty-tbree per
cent. of the cost Of running cars by mule
power. No fire is used. The new inven-
ton is described as follows: The driving
engine is of ordinary character. It
has a reservoir large enough to contain
three gallons of water, with steam room
above it. The boiler is of steal, and is
well covered with non.conducting material
to prevent the radiation of the heat. The
motive power OF this engine is obtained by
means of the compression of steam in
water, the steam being conducted from a
stationary boiler at the end of the track,
which dispenses with the firing up process
while under way. The steam with which
the engine is charged is sufficient accord
ing to the capacity Of the boiler) to perform
a trip from 10 to 10 miles. At the time of
changing the temperature in the boiler it is
about $50 degrees Fahrenheit, the pressure of
steam being about one hundred and seventy
pounds to the square inch. There is not
the least danger of explosion in using this
apparatus, as the pressure in the reser-
voir can never rise above the point reached
at the time of changing, and it is necessarily
constantly diminishing as the power is ex-
pended. So simple is its construction there
is less skill required in handling this loco
motive than horse or mule.

OUR STATUARY.-We hope no such
unsightly and inadequate repository as that
which contains the statue of Henry Clay
will be erected in the Capitol square for the
reception of Houdon's statue of Washing
ton. A place commensurate with the value
and Importance of these works of art and
the renown of the state and our fair city
should be prepared for the safe and conve-
venlent accommodation of both statues, and
such other art productions as we may have
or become possessed. We rather like the
suggestion casually made by Prof. Crom-
well in his lecture last night, that we should
erect sort of Grecian temple in the square
in which to preserve our sculptures, paint
ings, &c. In our opinion it would be wiser
to leave the statute of Washington quietly
reposing in the box it now occupies than to
expose it to the tempests and the vandalism
which have so injured and disfgured that

The BANE OF NEwsPAPERs.-The
remarks of General George P. Jones, of
the Nashville Union and American, before
the press association of Tennessee, are so
truthful, and apply with such force to this
community, that we insert them for the
benefit of newspaper proprietors and those
who think they have the privilege of gratu-
itously using the columns of journal to
advertise their business whenever they
feel so disposed: "Not letter, nor a
space, nor figure, nor comma, nor
period--nothing of all the innumerable
particles that enter into the form structure
of daily or weekly paper-is there, that
its picking up and laying down does not
cost cash money. Not revolution of the
press, not square inch of newspaper that
does not cost something in cash. This
should be understood by the public. If it
is not, its correlative should be by the
press. lido not mean that the press should
abandon its position of being the foremost
charitable institution in the world. 1t
should hold to that, for its munifcent liber-
atty, after purging itself of nine-tenths of
the daily swindles practised upon it, will
exceed that of any other business.
ITO get rid of this stupendous fraud
OF gratuitous advertising, this cancer,
canker-call it anything, provided you se-
lect an epithet that will characterize it
strong enough--I can prescribe no other
rule than this: Put voluntarily and with
out charge any and everything into your
paper which you deem advantageous to it
in being beneficial to the public. All else
exclude, being of advantage to those who
wish to make money upon your capital and
enterprise. Hold your space at its value.
Fix your rates at fair price for your cir.
culation and adhere to them. Fair dealing
will accomplish much more than foul will
at all times and everywhere"

THE City CoUNCIL.-The city coun.
Gil met at five o'clock yesterday evening,
but did not consider the new ordinance
relating to the streets, as was generally
expected. An adjourned meeting will be
held at five O'Clock Tuesday evening next,
to consider this and other questions.
Mr.. Bargamin, from the committee on
water, reported in regard to the removal OF
the penitentiary to Bellona arsenal; that
they had referred the subject of the vitiation
of the water of James river by the loca-
ton of the penitentiary at that point to DR..
W. Ii. Taylor, as the most competent per-
son to judge of the matter, and submitted
a communication from the Doctor on the
subject.
DIR. Taylor says 'there would be good
reason to fear contamination of the water
furnished by our water works, and with
one Of the worst forms of noxious impuri.
ties" He also says that it would be q
waste of valuable material to let these nox-
ious substances pass into the river when
they could be utilized as fertilizers.
MIR. Whltlock offered a resolution pro-
viding for the appointment of committee
of three members of the council to repre-
sent to the legislature the objection of the
council to the location of the penitentiary at
Bellona arsenal, which was adopted.
The chairman appointed Messrs. Starke,
Whitlock and Manly as the committee.
Mr.. Chesterman presented eommunica-
ton from Hon. A. M. Kelley, president of
the city school board, asking the council to
make an appropriation of $4,000, to COM
plete the sum of money necessary to meet
the expenses of the public schools for the
scholastic year, and, on motion of Mr..
Scott, of Jefferson ward, the appropra-
ton was made by unanimous vote.

PROF. CRoMwELLL's ART ENTER
TAINMENT. = Our highest expectations
were realized at Virginia Hall last night.
The art wonders, architectural designs, and
the natural scenery of Italy were placed
before US by a process so perfect, so COM
plete, and so beautiful as to leave nothing
to be desired and the change from one
scene to another was as gradual and grace
full as the transitions of dream. We
have no hesitation in saying that it was the
grandest entertainment we have ever
attended in Richmond. The Professors
lecture added interest to the various
objects and views presented, and the dashes
of music which he gave us only heightened
the interest which the historic things and
places had excited in each beholder. AS
we have heretofore said, these entertain
ments will be given nightly throughout the
week, and at three o'clock Saturday after
noon. The wonders of the great city of
London will be represented tonight, with
some of the most celebrated natural scenery
of America; also the allegory "Rock Of
Ages" and the beautiful transition, "The
Growing Glory"
