Cost nf Funding Debt.

4 communication signed az" appears
in the Wing OF this morning, in the nature
of an argument to show that the funding
act OF last March is a asulIity, by reason OF
the absence in that act OF provision in
erpresS terms for the payment OF the neceS-
sary expenses Of its execution.
I do not propose to discuss that question
here.
In a leading editorial in the Dispatch,
which appeared few days after the ques-
ton was first raised by the Wing, your
answer seemed to meet the objections effec-
tuaIly, and the public judgment appeared to
be satisfied. s'
But the paper OF "X." this morning
there is a misapprehcnslon which propose
to correct lie says: I'VE understand that
these expenses will amount to some S75,-
GEO."
The fact is, that under the contract be-
tween the Governor and the American
Bank.Notc Company, the whole expense OF
engraving plates, printing, and completion
OF all the bonds ordered, TO be done in the
very best style known in this country,
amounts to Sl1, 100 only. When the supply
ordered shall be exhausted, the cost OF
printing these bonds, and possibly another
plate. il required, the additional expense
will be comparatively small. A.

A PIECE OF HIS MIhD.-We find in the
Staunton Spectator some letters written by
Mr.. JEFFERSON, Mr.. MONROE, and Judge
MARSHALL; Just before the close of the last
century, to Judge ARCHIBALD STUART, the
father of the Hon. A. Fl. Fl. STUART, OF Au-
gusta. They are venerable and interesting
letters. In Judge MARsHALL's letter we
fell upon an allusion that led to the conclu-
sion that just when that letter was written
there were some things occurring that dis
pleased him very much with the times and
the customs; and he was not the man to fill
his mouth with honeyed phrases when dis
content sat heavy at his heart.
Seriously" says be, there appears to
"me every day to be more folly, envy,
"malice, and damned rascaiity in the world
I" than there was the day before; and l do
overly begin to think that plain, down
"right honesty and .unintriguing integrity
"will be kicked out of.doors."

ELEVATED RoADs.-The bill prohibiting

ment including Second avenue below TWen-
ty-third street. This district, so exempt
from elevated roads, is set apart for laby-
rinth Of underground reads 10 be united
with the tunnel across the Hudson from
Jersey City. This would seem to be very
reasonable and practical. The narrow
streets on the lower part OF the island, with
their vast amount OF business, ought to be
protected from the elevated roads. and
rapid transit being there carried on under
ground, everything will so on orderly and
speedily.
1t is a matter of very great interest TO
people who cnncern themselves with the
welfare Of their fellow-beings to observe
the very great works aud inventive genius
of the people of New York. The wonder
full blessings that have been secured and
are constantly extending and improving in
that wonderful city arc past all amazement.
The ways Of rapid transit are as ingenious
as they are benefcent. The convenience
and the comfort with which so vast popu-
lation now lives in New York exceed any
previous example. The capahliiy OF a
concentrated population to maintain them
selves by their city occupations will be
finally pushed to the full extent OF the capa-
biity of producing Or agricultural people
to supply them with food. The statesman
and the philosopher will find in these
grand studies ample food for reflection and

Cincinnati and Huntington.

The Cincinnati Commercial OF Wednes-
day makes this remark:
"We would be glad to see railroad from
Cincinnati to Huntington, on the northern
SIDE Of the Ohio, bnt there is a better line
through Kentucky, coming into Cincinnati
over the Newport BRIDGE
We take it that the remark means this
that the Commercial thinks it would be bet
ter for . company to build road from
Huntington through Kentucky, and across
the Newport bridge into Cincinnati, than
to build one from Huntington, on the north
side OF the Ohio. into Cincinnati. The Com

While Richmond still holds handsom

While Richmond still holds handsome
place in the table, it Is not such an one as
should be enjoyed By the chief city OF Vir-
sinia, especially in view Of her prestige in
the psst as the tobacco centre Of the United
States. We have, then, to look to other
things as well; and We are happy In having
already factories producing many lines of
staple goods. But there is one industry we
may possess that will, with proper. push.
oyershadow in Importance any Of the
rest. We refer to the manufacture OF
iron and steel. The James-River Valley
opened by perfectly-equipped railway,
such as is promised in the construction Of
the Richmond and Allegheny, will furnish
lis the means to compete with anybody
anywhere in the production Of steel and
iron goods. Once the facilities afforded,
there will be no trouble in securing the
capital necessary to make them available.
With the establishment Of this large inter-
est at Richmond, on the basis it should as
sumo, will come the smaller Industries to
employ the labor OF women and children.
And we all know what such development
involves to the owners OF real estate in
Richmond.
What can be done by other people, the
facilities being equal, can be done by us
and delay, when unnecessary, means loss,
and it may be heavy loss. We do hope,
therefore, that the railway project up the
James will not be allowed to fall through
because of any, unwillingness on the part
OF our people to give the work dispatch.
While the prospect in connection with
this great enterprise is great for Richmond,
we do not see that it is much less for Lynch
burg. II being in the midst OF valuable
mineral deposits which this railway will
make available is Of advantage to an ener.
getic people-and Lynchburg certainly does
not lack in this respect-what she can do in
furthering matters ought not to be left un.
done.
With our industries and productions it is
seen that, utter ALL we look to the Richmond
and Allegheny railroad as the prime agen
OF our commercial prosperity. In the alb
sence Of all definite information we are lef

and the controlling circumstances which can
not fail in a reasonable time to win for TIT
