most successful, and the tumor, weigh

removed, and at last accounts the pas

in the Cpsarian operation, which re-
quires skill and ability. This goes to
demonstrate the fact that our people

points, when we have as good surgeons
as are to be found in any locality.

To the Editor of The Herald!
In this mornings paper | notice
your cOmmentsupon the street cutters,
those on Main street especially, ana
the one in front Of the Lamar hotel In
particular.
The trouble about the whole system
lies in the fact, that the financial con-
dition OF the city will not permit aper-
manent system OF street Improvement

and money we are compelled to TEN.
porize with miserable expedients and
use wooden in place of brick or iron or
more durable material.
And while this is the case, each in
dividual uses his own judgment as to
materials and grades, and there Is no
connection or plan, but confusion ana
disorder.
Whenever the city Is ready to put
down durable cutters and pave the
streets, these poor excuses for cutters
will all be taken up, and grades estao-
lished and system adopted TO carry
off as much surface water as the nat
grades will permit, but do not thlnK

Delinquent Tax-Payers.

Editors of the Dispatch: The Legisla-
ture has granted to the delinquent taX-pay-
ers of Petersburg relief from excessive
penalties imposed upon them by the city
government. Richmond as much needs
relief of that sort as any city in the State.
Why should we not have it? Hundreds OF
men here owning real estate have been SO
pressed for money, rendered so utterly ln-
pecunious by loss OF business, that they
were not able to pay any part Of their city
taxes during 1876, and now have had 20 per
cent. added to their bills, with prospect OF
additional penalties. And while the city is
so exacting from unfortunate property
holders, in a time Of unprecedented depres-
sion. she, with her good credit, is able to
borrow in abundance from the banks at the
rate of eight or nine per cent. per annum.
Unless the City Council promptly affords
the relief needed-needed more than ever
this year-needed now il never before-it
should not cause surprise if the delinqu ent
taxpayers corning body Of men highly
respectable in numbers, character, and
property interest) should be compelled to
appeal to another quarter.
A five or ten per cent. penalty ought to be
sufficient. After all, with many people the
dread Of being published in the List Of de-
linquents is greater incentive to make the
payments required than even the present
heavy penalties. That is really the most
effective agency the city employs.

DO Not Disband Company b.


Editors of the Dispatch: The most sur
prising popularity with reference to the
Committee on Fire is the opinion they
advance. tits one OF Inconsistency. Whilst
they were never engaged in that which will
cali blush or to have censure to rest on
their acts, we must say, with all respect
and admiration of their intention, that II
the Council acts favorably on their sugges-
ton 1t Is o backward way to economic and
not the way reform Is required. am Of
the opinion that property-holders are as
anxious for the fire department to be kept
up now as at any past time. In alluding to
the force. itno doubtc could be made smaller;
but in order to do that do not sacrifice tt g
rights Of property ty-holders. Better dispense
with some OF the useless Offices Of the city
government than to destroy that which Is
most needed. 2 -
We deprecate the action OF the committee.
It Is of vital importance that we have
an efficient fire department. We are almost
disposed to say that the people would re-
sist such measure. Whilst the committee
are granted all the imMunities Of the most Ia
yored, they must not proceed TO enforce Tor
a frivolous cause a system Of surprise left
exposed to delusions or O hope as frail as
the leaf as 1t flutters in The wind. S.
we hope, for the dignity and safety OF
their button holes, the Council win reject
the proposition as impartial. -

ANOTHER REPORT.
The Other Side.

4 SUPPLEMENT TO THAT "TRUE STORY ABOUT
THE LATE DUEL-sTATEMENT BY ONE OF
THE SECONDS. ... ...-
We publish below what the New York
Tribune says editorially in regard to its
article Of last week on the May-Bennett
article: .s,5e..
1.-THE article protesting to give the truth
about the May-Bennett duel, which appear
ed in the local columns Of yesterdays Iri-
bune, now proves to have been derived eX-
clusiyely from the warm partisans Of Mr..
Bennett-a fact which ought to have been
stated in the article itself. Every substan-
tial allegation in it is denied point blank by
the Mays, and untruthfulness has never
been one Of the vices OF that family. We
print this morning letter from an authori-
tative source giving certain facts concern
ing the duel, which, we have no doubt, are
accurately stated. Letters from one OF the
seconds in the duel have also been
exhibited to us, which make the fol-
lowing facts clear: Q) that May, as the
challenged party, having the right to
choice of weapons, chose cavalry sabres;
(2) that Benefits friends objected, on the
ground that this gave May an advantage;
(3) that Mays friends yielded their choice
and assented to duelling pistols; (D that
tuC QlStduSC, was OoClNO ptsSCoS tAob III
witnesses were present, even the surgeons
remaining at a distance, and the only
persons on or in sight Of the duelling
ground being the two principals and
their two seconds (6) that the word
was given thus Ready, fire, one, two,
three, stop,'-the parties not to move
their pistols from the perpendicular until
the word Sire was pronounced, and not
to fire after the word Stop was pro-
nounced, and the seconds having the
right to shoot down either man who dis.
obeyed this requirement; (D that Bennett
and May fred almost simultaneously at the
word One; (8) that neither was touched;
(9) that Benefits friends then professed
themselves satisfied; and (1O that the par
ties straightway separated, the whole affair
scarcely having occupied. ten minutes.
These we have reason TO believe are, so far
as they 60, the exact facts. !" ,e's# :.

PROFESSOR MINORS FESTIVAL The chill
dren's festival given by Professor Minor
on Friday evening at Monticello Hall was
one Of the most charming and enjoyable of
the season. There were present some
eighty children, arrayed in Chinese and ia
panese costumes, and their parents seemed
to vie with each other 10 see which would
appear the prettiest The curtain rose first
upon the stage, upon which was pre-
sented street scene from China,
with appropriate tableaux. It was
faithful and hfe-like. After this was
dance, the young people, with their gay cos
tunes, occupying the greater portion Of the
floor, and the young men, with their sweet
hearts, the remainder. There was 4 large
and appreciatiye crowd present, and the
affair proved perfect success.
We must confne ourselves to this general
mention, as it would be impossible to give
the names Of all the young ones present in
costume in the space allowed us.

that the appropriation frat sproposed

that the appropriation first proposed
amounted to 5000. This reduction from
the first estimate was due TO the fact that It
was feared, when the winter set in so se-
yerely, that many poor people would be
thrown out Of employment, and conse-
quently dependent upon the charities OF the
city. The factories, however, have been
Except through an accidental ;interyA) con-
stantly at work, and paupers have been
comparatively unknown in our community.
These facts, coupled with the phenomenon
that money Is very scarce, and tbe expe-
rience Of the committee to the effect that
the more money they appropriate the more
paupers spring up 1jess So" induced the
action taken. It is estimated that the
amount appropriated is ample for the needs
OF the city. s
