Interesting to Richmond People.

Editor of the journal Of Commerce
The recent death OF Mr. Asa Otis, OF New
London, has caused the writer's memory to
20 back to the city of Richmond, Va, in
which he had the pleasure to reside for
twelve years, from 1916 to 1928. A strong
prejudice then existed in Richmond against
northern men, who were claSsed as Yankees,
whether from New England, New York, or
New jersey About that time all the prin-
cipal mercantile business was in the hands
OF Scotch aud English merchants. who i'm
ported their goods direct from England and
Scotland. A change, however, came over
the community when such men as Asa Otis,
David Judson Burr, William Fl. Hubbard,
Isaac Davenport, James Fl. Gardner, Gil
bert Allen, Samuel Reeve, William Crane,
and many others OF distinguished cEarac
ter and business qualifications, came and
settled in Richmond. OF the few | have
mentioned none are alive at present. Among
them none stood higher in that city than
Mr.. Otis. His honorable and strictly cor
rect manner nf doing business and his
courteous habits made him very popular,
and in about twenty-five years he amasscd
handsome fortune. He moved about forty
years ago to The city OF New London. and
spent the last years OF his life honored and
esteemed by all who knew bin. He was Il
native of Colchester. in Connecticut, and
was in his ninety-thrd year at the time OF
his death. He left an estate worth 81 ,100,-
600. After numerous lcgacies to relatives
be made the American Board Of Commis-
sioncrs OF Foreign Missions his rc>iduary
lceatce. The sum thus bequcathcd will
amount to about Il million dollarS-a noble
gift to Il noble institution. He also left
s.. 600 each to two unmarried daughters OF
the late Bishop Moore, OF Virginia, now re-
siding in Richmond. Mr. Otis was never
married. j. II.

Annexation of Manchester.

We published yesterday the able pre-
seutation OF the cause Of the annexation OF
Manchester to Richmond. We take 1t TO
be from the pen Of Mr.. c. {. MCRAE, OF
that city. 1t is a calm, sensible paper,
taking il fair view of the question, with
reference alike to Richmond and Manches-
ter, aud we regard it conclusive.
That Richmond must control both sides
OF James river-that they are both essential
to her growth, prosperity, and proper al
mini>tration. we cannot see how any we'll
informed gentleman can doubt. We trust
our cilizens will all calmly consider Mr..
McRAE's paper, and form their Judgments
without untimely or inappropriate excite
ments. There is not between Richmond
and Manchester anything that should inter-
rupt perfectly unprecedented and mutual
disposition to foster the common welfare OF
the good people on both shores OF. the
James.
Fol ourselves, We have in long time past
most ardently advocated the incorporation
or both shores under one government. We
fought hard, and ingloriou>ly fell under
the unfairest and most mistaken iudg-
mcnt. We have felt disinclined to'get again
soon in position so thankless and so unap-
prcciated. Nevertheless, let us hope that
better counscls may prevail! now than for
merry, and that we may be chccred by the
triumph OF wiser counsels.
The reign Of Richmond over both shores
OF the river is absolutely necessary to her
future greatness. She can never achieve
her true position and authority without it.
That event must come. To defer it can only
delay an ovcnt that must take place; and
sooner or later, the community will confess
this, and combine to accomplish the mea
sure.
The separate political condition OF the
shores has kept up an unfortunate division
that has INSTRUCTED the harmony and success
OF the legislation and public administration
OF the locality. Their union will produce
a degree Of harmony and cooperation tha
will have the finest moral and political effect
10 the solid advantage Of the social ant
commercial condition OF the community.

A working model OF the Bates automatic

A working model OF the Bates automatic
eleyator-a wonderful invention-has been
put in operation in New York, and was SO
successful as to prove that by It's use vessels
eau be loaded and anloaded with the great
est rapidity, and at the same time dispense
with two thirds Of the manual labor now
required. 1t handles barrels, boxes, bales,
or bags with equal certainty, and can ele-
vate or lower, or do both at the same time,
by simply reversing the gear. 1t can raise
coal and shoot it into two or three vessels
at the same time, and can be worked in q
nine-stofy building or one OF four stories.
On board OF a vessel 1t Gun be run with d
donkey engine, and bale out leaky vessel
after The main boiler fires are extinguished.
In fact. there seems TO be no limit to it's
sphere Of usefulness. It's adoption would
render longshoremen strikes no longer TO
be dreaded by the owners OF steamship
lines.

Virginia is State without manifestation.
The first stage OF the national history show
ed her altogether absorbed in making re-
publican government. She did it well, and
won the applause and the honor Of the ma
tion and the world. Next came the war OF
slavery and abolition, together with the
conflicts about the physical forces-the
canals and the railroads--and the Dor.
rowing and expenditure OF money upon
the very worst principles in the world.
which have led TO the most ruinous and
