The Mayor OF the city Of Richmond
Virginia, 10 his message just commits
ted to the Council, takes the ground
that street improvements. by which the
possessions OF proper:y-holders are
largely enhanced, should be paid for
by themselves. Aud to fortify his po-
sition he gives g table. which shows
the amount paid to improve streets IN
several wards and the amount OF the
enhanced value OF the real property OF
each. According to this exhibit the
city has devoted the past year 50. 929.
50 to the improvement of streets. and
the real estate OF the wards has been
enhanced during the same time 81 .2l6,-
1876.
1t is scarcely probable that all Of
this increase in the value OF city prop
erty in Richmond is directly attrlbuta'
bic 10 the expenditures for the improve
men! OF streets. but there eau be nc
doubt that a large portion OF It springs
rom this cause. The increase ia nearly
one hundred ield greater than the in
vestment. l. the property owners IN
Wheeling do bslfor even one tenth as
we'll, a. result Of the street improve
ments, they will certainly have no rea-
son 10 complain We do not think 1t al
all extravagsnt to assume that In one
year after the expenditure OF say S2OO,-
600 in paving FIVE miles OF streets in
this city, the value OF the real estate in
the several wards will nave been en-

TIE HERALD'S SPECIAL" TO SARATOGA
AND THE NORTH.
From The Brooklyn Argus.]

At three A. NJ. on Sunday, July le, a locomotive
and baggage car stood ON the track just outside
the Grand Central Depot, in New YORK. The en-
gneer In charge was the 'cracK'' driver of the
rOad-coo headed and guick-eyed Nat Saver. An-
other familiar face was visible through the win
dew OF the baggage CART was that of Conductor
Donnelly.
passer-by asked one Of the watchmen elf that
was a special" and got for his answer:-
'sYes, the HERALD special, for Saratoga ana
Lake George" A carriage drives up at
furious rate. The door opens and W. Fl. Henry,
business manager Of the HERALD, aignrs. Next
comes James O'Keley, OF Cuban notcriety, fol-
lowed by H. W. Williams, Manager OF the union
News Company, No. l3 Park place, New York-Mr.
Williams having charge of the whole atialr The
next carriage orings the Argus representative
and gentleman connected with the New YORK
press.
lew minutes later arrives large wagon loaded
down with HERALDs just as tney came Off the
press, and only short time Is occupied In trans
ierring them to the waiting train. The conductor
almost whispers .All aboard" and the train
glides away at high speed. The conductor says he
WIN make good time and that he has 1.-THE right
OF way" He keeps his word, Tor the time Is such
as few roads but the Hudson River dare attempt
nine miles In seven minutes for q part or the way
The interior OF the car presented queer sight
Ii was lighted by two wax candles and a signal
lamp. and at long table were "a & dozen men M lold-
ley and Henry were trying to steep. and the Argus
man sat in an armchair, hesitatlng between an
other cigar and snooze. The conductor and
brakeman assumed pensive attitude. one man,
stationed at the rear uOor, threw out the bundles
Tor way stations, the train making no stop, except
at POughkeepse, which was reached at half-past
nve A. NJ. When daylight came the occupants OF
the car were looking pale and dry, and the bottle
was empt,.
Albany was reached at nineteen minutes past
seven. Tr at thirIy-elght minutes past seven A.
81. aud Saratoga Ut ten a. NJ. wagons, boys and
meu were IN waiting tor the 1000 HEBALDS, and in
five minutes the car was empty. The enterprise
of the HERALD in this matter deserves praise as
the outlay very large and the expenses probably
III excess OF the profts but the HERALD never
stops to count the cost wnen the question Is one OF
newspaper enterprise.
