The most important step that has been
taken in the interest of the material pros
perity of Staunton, was taken the other
night when Maj. H. NJ Boil, President of
the City School Board delivered to the
Council his clear, strong, we'll condensed
statement Of tho plan for, and the advan-
tages of, the new system of public schools,
which the Board are seeking the aid Of the
Council in establishing. 1t is the very plan
detailed in his remarks that has given Rich
mond national reputation for the nearest
perfect schools in this country, reputation
which has done more to increase her popu-
lation by immigration from the North than
any other single cause The man who
brings his family into Richmond. from the
surrounding country, places ia reach of his
children better discipline and higher
education than can be obtained at the pr
vate schools, and the kaowle ige Of this fact
has induced very large number Of those
who lived outside, to move within the cor.
poraton. Before the war an extension Of
the corporate limits Of thu capital was a
struggle with every property holder sought
to be included, to-day it is struggle for
who shall get in first With such schools
in Staunton as there are in Richmond aud
Iynchburg, We should soon perceive an IN
crease 10 our material prosperity. OF the
incalculable value of the Boards project in
moral point Of view there can hardly bs any
need of proof A community whose chill
dren are educated need have no fear of its
future. It cannot be still with the leaveu
of learning working within it, and must G
forward-forward to wealth, forward te
power, and above all forward to true Chris

duced one to prevent the seduction of fe.
males. Mr. Cochran offered joint resolu-
ton to ask congress to exempt Virginia from
the tax upon notes Of State banks or State
banking associations. Mr.. Cochran made
speech on the debt question, in which he
said that ''the people were wiling to pay
all the Commonwealth owes, but they wan
ted time" The joint committee on the re.
moval Of the penitentiary from Richmond,
has adopted resolution inviting proposals
from counties, cities and towns, to remove
and reestablish the prison, no proposal to ex.
coed what the present buildings and grounds
will sell for. A bill was passed enabling
the Presbyterian church Of Hsrlisooburg to
receive bequest of Mrs. Aun Davidson
and resolution iastructing the Audtar t.
subject the property of the Chesapeake &
Ohio R. R., to the payment Of taxes due
and in arrear, Gree tickets are cut off, The
Senate passed some resolutions offered by a
colored Senator protesting against the re-
peal of the bankrupt law by congress. The
interest bill discussed so much was finally
killed and fresh one will have to be intro.
duced.
In the House the Senate bill to remove
certain causes commenced in county courts
to the circuit court was passed with amend
ments. A resolution was Introduced BY
Mr.. Paul Lightner to refund fine to Jno
W. Mayors, Of Highland Co. An over
whelming movement towards ''retrench.
ment and reform" was made in proposition
to have only three door-keepers and four
pages for the House. The Civil Rights
question came up On motion to reconsider
a vote by which the House declined to
change the law so as to require the service
of colored grand jurors. The matter was
pressed with some feeling by three colored
members, but the House refused to re- coz
slider, by strict party vote except that Mr..
Deneale, of Rockingham, voted with the
Republicans. The movement was not nee
essary for the rights OF colored citizens and
was very properly defeated. A, act incorpo.
rating Covipgton in Allegheny, was passed
and became a law. A communication was
received from the State Treasurer showing
that the value of the State Interest ia inter
nal improvements is 81 ,464 900 less than

colored members, one suggesting thar &C.

by the colored members and two Coaserva.
