For The Dlspatch.J
To the City Engineer and the Street
Com tees


Fortunately for the interests Of the city,
the proposition to make the City Engineer
and other offices elective has been reported
against by the Senate committee.
The dissatisfaction expressed in the de-
sire to make the proposed changes has not,
however, been altogether without cause.
The new grades cutting down certain
streets have been iudicious and advantage
Gus to the public Interests, and any de-
triment to the property-holders might have
been avoided by simple act OF Justice to
them, which would have removed their OBJ
jections.
II in all eases where excavations are made
the city authorities would make the proper,
slope for terraces (say one and half to one)
to the sides OF the cuts on the private prop
erty, the andholdera would in nearly all
instances be satisfied with the new grades.
TO do this would OIL the part OF the city be
attended with small cost, as they need the
earth, or can use if, for embellishments, while
by the property-holder this necessary mea-
sure is felt to be ohcrous and unjust, and in
some cases would be so large as to prevent
it's execution.
Is it not, therefore, well for the Street
Committees and Engineer to take into con-
sideraton the policy OF adopting some such
plan as herein suggested in all eXcayated
Streets, and by this simple justice remove
wel!-founded causes OF dissatisfaction on the
part Of tie property-bolders? JUSTICE.

BARRIE BLUE LAST NIGHT-GoOD-BYE,
SWEETHEART, GoOD-BYE.-The selection by
Mrs. Oates OF Oflenbach's beautiful opera

her audience, and received several en-
cores. Mr. Laurent improves in spub-
lie estimation with each appearance.
and made model Blue Beard. Messrs.
Allen, Hall, Seymour, and Bell did
we'll their parts, and kept the audience in
roar OF laughter. Several local hits were
enthusiastically applauded. Mrs. Meader
and Misses Winston and Dolaro rendered
efficient aid in making the opera success.
and credit is due all others in the cast. The
chorus was very effective, and the curtain
fell on an audience jubiIant and we'll pleased.
At O'Clock to-day grand La Perichoie
matinee will be given Tor the ladies. Mrs.
Oates will sing "Good-Bye, Sweetheart,
Goodbye" as only she can sing it, and the
house will doubtless be a full and brilliant
sae. Tonight she bids us adieu for sea-
son, when she will appear in the romantic
opera OF the Princess Of Trebizonde-a
character she has made her own. The
opera will be produced with magnificent
costumes. elegant properties, and grand
orchestral chorus. Every seat will proba-
bly, be taken tonight, and an enthusiastic
audience bid bon Uoyage to the American

MANCHESTER AND VICINITY.

Adjudged q Lunaac.-A commission Of
lunacy, consisting Of Mayor Clarke and
Justices Perdue and Gentry, yesterday
made an examination into the mental coDd!-
tion of Alexander Epps (colored). He was
adiudged, insane and ordered to be con-
yeyed to the Central Lunatic Asylum, and
committed to Jail to await conveyance.
Epps was born in Dinwiddie, but has been
residing in Massachusetts for some years.
He came to his brothers, on Bridge avenue,
about the 1st OF last November, and about
a month ago evinced signs OF insanity,
by religious excitement. At
times Epps is perfectly rational, and again
very violent and demonstratiye. He will
be removed to the asylum as soon as there

LIFE IN THE OLD LAND YET-THE GRAYS
AT INSPECTION AND AROUND THE FESTIVE
BoARD.-The birthday of Virginia's distin-
grished and beloved son did not pass alto
gether without notice by the military OF the
capital OF his native State. Last night, in
pursuance Of company orders, that sterling
corps the Richmond Grays assembled at
the regimental armory for inspection and
drill. The arms and aceoutrements were
found in apple-pie order, and the company
executed various man9uyres with the same
precision that long since gained for them
the title Of the Pride of the Regiment"
and enabled them to carry off the
first honors in the competitive drill at
our last State Fair. After some time spent
in executing the manual, in marching and
counter. marching, the command break
ranks " was given. In very short space OF
time the line was reformed and the compa-
nv and few invited guests proceeded to
Antoni's. Here sumptuous collation. bad
been spread. The table was covered with
all seasonable delicacies, and was arranged
in most beautiful manner. Conspicuous
among the ornaments was the elegant
silver service won by the Grays In the
competitive drill alluded to above.
Plates were laid for about fifty.
Captain DosSicuA pcSluCu,

CAPTAIN j. V. Crawford. There Were no
preliminaries, and at command from Cap

ceremony to enjoy the good things provided
for the inner man. 1t is needless to say
that ample justice was done to an excellent
bill of fare. AS incredible Us itsmay seem,
there acas no speaking, but q pleasant hour
was spent in social converse. Nothing
stronger than ten and coffee was partaken
OF, and at seasonabIe hour the company
dispersed with appeased appetites, light
hearts, and clear heads, at peace with them
selves and the rest OF mankind, with wishes
for many happy returns OF the day and Hike

EAST HANOVER PRESBYTERY-ACTIoN IN
THE CASE OF REV. G. L. PETRIE.-A special
meeting OF this body was held in the lee
ture-room OF the First Presbyterian church
(Dr. Preston's) on yesterday at II O'Clock A.
H., to consider an application Of the Rev.
G. l.. Petrie for dissolution Of his pastoral
relation and a transfer to West Hanover

BY the Rev. DR.. Hoge, was adopted:
The Rev. G. l.. Petrie having applied for
dissolution OF his pastoral relation with
the Second Presbyterian church OF Peters
burg, and for dismission to the Presby-
terry OF West Hanover. with the view Of ac-
cepting call to the Presbyterian church in
Charlottesville, and the commissioners ap-
pointed for the purpose having presented
the resolutions adopted at the congrega-
tional meeting Of the Second church OF Pc
tersburg, signifying its reluctant acqui-
escence in the request OF its pastor, the
Presbytery OF East Hanover does hereby
declare that the relation between Mr.. Petrie
ders that (lismiSsion to the Presbytery of
West Hanover be granted.
In seyering the tie which for six years
has bound Mr.. Petrie to this body and to
the church in which he has ministered.
this Presbytery cannot refrain from giving
some expression to the regret which all Of
its members feel at this separation. Year
by year the seasonal recol ds Of the Second
Presbyterian church OF Petersburg have
testified to the fidelity and success with
which be has discharged the duties Of the
pastoral Office, as illustrated in the regular
and encouraging additions to the member
ship OF the church. the increasing zeal and
liberality with which the people Of his
charge have responded to the calls of church
benevolence.
AS Presbytery we have had experience
OF his efficiency in the management OF all
ecclesiastical interests entrusted to him, and
we will continue to cherish the remem-
brance OF the unvarying kindness and cour-
tesy which has characterized all his inter-
course with the members Of our body and
in parting from him we commend HIM to
the confidence and love Of the people to
whom he goes, with the prayer that his la
bors among them may be crowned by the
rich favor and blessing of the Great Head
OF the Church.
The Presbytery, after the usual dcvo-
tional exercises, adjourned.
