coon INVESTMENT.

Messrs. R. II. Maury & Co., bankers, of
this city, are agents for the sale of the first
mortgage six per cent. gold bonds of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company.
The present price of the bonds is sc and
accrued interest. They are exempt from
all taxation.
These bonds offer q first-class home
investment for capital. The price at which
they are rapidly selling, the near compile
ton of the great line Of railway, as well as
the general prosperity of our State, the
opening up of her vast treasures and the
development of her agricultural and horti-
cultural capabilities, insure a large and
speedy return to all who invest in them.
The Chesapeake and Ohio is destined to
become one of the most important and best
paying roads in the nation. Its business
will be limited only by its capacity, and
that will be very great.

WHEN Ohio, Indiana and Illinois were
admitted into the Union, Congress agreed,
in the enabling acts, to give them three per
cent. of oil moneys received from sales of
public lands in these states, and also to
spend an additional two per cent. in those
states for public improvements. The Fed
eral government has never fulfilled the lat
ter part Of the bargain, consequently a
claim has been presented to Congress fol-
the said two per cent. on sales of public
lands in those states since they ceased to
be territories. This claim amounts tc
81 300, 900, or little more.

DISTRESSING AccIDENT.-About ten

DISTRESSING ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ten
o'clock yesterday morning Mr.. Edward
Hopgood, switchman in the employment
of the Richmond and York River Rail-
road Company, met with an accident by
which both of his legs were almost sew
cred between his knees and ankles. 1t
was the duty Of Mr.. Hopgood to turn the
switches for the engine used at the depot
in shifting cars and making up trains, and
on this occasion, instead of walking to the
switch, he jumped upon the engine to ride
part of the way, and when nearing it
attempted to get down in order to fix it
before it was reached by the engine. In so
doing he fell upon the track and was run
over by the wheels Of the tender and the
bones of both legs crushed. DIR. Knox was
sent for and examined the sufferer, but
seeing that his injuries were such as
scarcely to permit any surgical operation,
he administered stimulants and sent him to
the Medical Infirmary for treatment, where
he died about s o'clock last night. He
was beyond the middle age, and leaves a
family.

THE SWISS SYSTEM OF INSURANCE.

The assumption of life and fire insu-
rance by the State promises an augmen-
tation of the public revenue without
increasing the public burdens. We be-
lieve it to be practically feasible, and
to Offer the best solution for our present
financial difficulties. There are no definite
and reliable statistics as to the present in
come of insurance companies in the State,
but we are informed that at least two
millions is realized from this source. The
greater security of the State would no
doubt increase the number of insurer s..
We believe that this plants the only one
by which the public dues can be promptly
met. 1t seems quite probable that it
will be adopted.
tits growing speedily in public favor
as its merits are discussed, and is
worthy of the serious study of every legis-
lator, both because it is right in principle
and because it promises to be fruitful in
good to the people of this Commonwealth.

Board of Health ON the Smallpox I'M
Richmond.

OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH, |
RICHMOND, December 81, 1872.
The unfounded and exaggerated rumors
which prevailed in the country of the exis-
tence of smallpox and varioloid in the
city induces the Board to make the follow
ing statement, which can be relied upon as
correct: The first appearance of the dis.
ease was in November, and on persons
who had visited other cities where the DIG
ease existed. Up to the present time there
have been twenty cases reported and only
two deaths. No case has yet occurred
among the colored population, who, during
the last and present year, have availed
themselves of the advice of the Board and
allowed themselves to be revaccinated.
The Board have strenuously urged that
where case of this disease occurs that a
white flag should be displayed as warn
ing to persons who were likely to visit the
premises. Several persons have refused
to adopt the suggestions Of the Board.
Public opinion can alone accomplish this
result, as there is no ordinance requiring
it to be done. The Board, upon the first
case being reported, advised the Council of
the fact, and asked for the power of ap-
pointing number of physicians as public
vaccinators.
The Council granted their request, and
twelve medical gentlemen were selected,
whom the Board can safely and earnestly
recommend as perfectly reliable, and who
will prove worthy of the trust confided to
them.
Our citizens need feel no alarm that
there will be any effort to remove to the
public hospital any one who is so fortunate
as to be able to secure the proper atten-
dance and care.
The Board have in every case that has
occurred issued directions as to the proper
mode Of disinfection, and taken steps to.
see that these directions have been carried
out.
The public may rest assured that the
Board of Health will withhold no informa-
ton from them, and shall hereafter announce
all cases which may be reported.
The Board again urge upon the citizens
the necessity Of revaccination. Failing to
secure the services of their own medical
attendants, they can with safety avail them
| selves of the services of those who have,
upon the recommendation of the Board,
been appointed as public vaccinators.

| President Board of Health.

New YORK, January 2.--The Hoalds
Washington dispatch says: " 1t appears
that Attorney General Williams has been
used as cover for usurpation by Federal
bayonets in the Louisiana troubles. He is
allowed to be made target of attack in
order to shield President Grant personally
lropa the odium attached to the high-handed
sction of the government"
Attorney General Williams has merely
executed the orders of his chief He has
done nothing of his own initiation in the
matter. The dispatch signed by him, and
addressed to Pinchback, recognizing him as
the rightfill Governor, and tho Kellogg fac
ton in the State House in New Orleans as
the rightful Legislature, was dictated by the
President himself.
