This is a question that is practical and
which affects directly the interests of this
city. 1t is useless for us to attempt competi'
ton without the means that other commu'
mites employ to facilitate commerce. The
grain.elevator is indispensable in every city
that hopes to do any considerable busi-
ness in the dealing in and the re-
ceiving and forwarding OF grain. We see
that Huntington, the town at the Ohio
end of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
has its elevator. Assuredly, one might be
built in Richmond, where one Is equally re-
CURED by trade, and, we should say, espe-
cially as Richmond is respectable city,
while Huntington is as yet but village.

Washington Speculations.

The surrnises afloat in Washington repre-
cent that the disturbance in. Louisiana Is de.
signed as the means OF. uniting the Radicals,
and stirring up the dying embers OF sectional
hate. The purpose IS to make the most OF
it. and snEaIDAn's impudent and lying tele'
gram to President GRANT is spark WITH
which to begin the relighting OF the flames.
A diving party is always ready to adopt
desDerate expedients in the hope of prolong-
ing its existence. So the Radicals are ready
to revive all the passions and rancors OF sec
tionalism to avoid death to their rule. They
are sordid enough to revive the worst feel.
inps, and involve the couutry in the worst
troubles that they may reign.
It is further surmised that diversion IS
intended 10 be made by rupture with
spain-a thing the more likely, it is sup
posed, to have the public appreciation since
span has become monarchy. %
Thus little firing up of the sectionalisms
Of the country will, 1t is hoped, give some
renewed yigor to the party, which, helped
by foreign war, will possibly proloug Rad
ical misrule.'
There are great many difficulties in the
way of such a programme. First, there is
the prudence and selfcontrol OF the Wnlte
people of Louisiana, which will take away
the pretext for persecution and elicit the
sympathy of the nation.
Then, the Spanish Government, being
weak and unprepared to resist, may yield TO
the demands which are now to be pressed
under circumstances disgraceful to our &C.
verpment. In that event there will be no
| war.
Upon the whole we see no good reason to
suppose that the Republican party-unscru-
pulous, sordid, and corrupt as it may be-
and ingenious as may be its schemes, will
likely succeed. Their plans for changing
the tide of popular opinion now rising and
swelling against them will fail.
The present Congress has but short time
to live. They cannot, happily, much longer
concoct deviItry. They have set their
traps, however, and let us see what they
will catch. In our opinion, nothing.

Accounts amounting to about 81 900 were
allowed. Of this amount $1,000 was paid
TOR salaries to city officers, 1854 interest on
bonded debt Of the city issued before the
war, and S504 for the payment of free-school
accounts.
The Committee on Finance presented q
communication from Levi Shafer, sergeant
of the city, giving a list of persons from
whom he had found it impossible 10 collect
certain license-taxes, and asking for the as.
slstance of the Council. After much talk
and discussion over what should be done
and what could be done, resolution was
| finally adopted referring the report to the
| Mayor and requesting him to take such steps
as may be necessary TO enforce the ordinance
! in reference to persons doing business with
out paying their license-taxes.
Several petitions IN reference to matters of
no general interest were disposed of.
On the recommendation of the Finance
Committee the Council (Mr. r. G. BickIe'
dissenting) appropriated an extra fifty dolllrs
for the payment of the Commissioner of the
Revenue for services rendered last year, and
raised the salary of the City Sergeant from
fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars per an.

The limited States Senate,

The inquiry into the Government actiop
in Louisiana proposed by Senator THURMAN
on Tuesday was very proper, and would not
In the better days of the republic have been
objected to. But times have changed-s so
much changed that the resolution could
hardly elicit any information that would not
be SO distorted and biased for party pur-
poses that it could not be relied upon for u
moment, and would be worthless save as a
Republican party document. Thus Mr..
THURMAN may only help the Radicals to get
before the world garbled and delusive infor-
nation.
The singular and significant feature of the
debate was upon the amendment proposed
by that intense partisan Senator CoSKLlNe
shat the information should be requested "if
In the judgment" Of the President "it is
not inconsistent with the public interests"
We have never before supposed that the
knowledge of any measure or proceeding of
be Federal Executive towards any State of
his Union could be properly withheld from
he representatives Of all the States in Con-
gress. Every State is vitality interested in any
act of the Central Government bearing upon
he rights of any State and the liberty of the
citizen. That proceeding which may affect
one State may be as lawfully directed against
any other State. 1t is not possible that it
would be favorable to the interests of the
States that it should be kept secret.
The qualification Of the resolution sug-
gested by the New York senator is generally
considered proper only for cases of war with
foreign nations. But We cannot conceive of
a case of the Government acting with regard
to State of this Usion in which the qualif-
cation would be proper or should be per.
mitted. 1t is the right of every State to
know what the President does towards any
State.
Combines amendment is indicative Of the
