On Tuesday last we stated that PETITION
signed by about six hundred citizens ask
ing an amendment sO the city charter had
been presented TO the Legislature. At sbe
same lime we published the bill accomTa-
nying the petition, whinb provides for cbe
election by the people OF certain officers
now appointed by the Council. They are
.'One CITY Engineer. one City Attorney
one Superintendent OF the Water Works,
one SuperntendesIt OF the Works, one
Superintendent OF the Almshouse, one
Chief Of the Fire Department, one Chief OF
Police, one Police Justice, one City Gauger,
and one Gas-Inspector."
The following petition, signed by 1,Al
citizens, among them the largest property
holders, and principal manufacturers, mer-
chants, bankers, mechanics, insurance OF
fcers. and professional men. OF Richmond,
will be presented to the General Assembly
to-day. 1t Is said that thousands OF other
names might have been added, ii time hid
allowed or it had been thought necessary.
Those who know our people need not TO be
told that the signers TO this protest against
the proposed amendments TO the city chaI-

greater part of its interests in every de-

10 the Gener0t Assembly:
The undersigned, citizens Of Richmond,
respectfully represent TO your honorable
body that they have witnessed with great
concern the submis sion TO the Assembly OF
bill proposing so TO amend the charter oi
tbs city as TO make elective large number
OF Offices now filed by appointment OF the
Council. Aside from the general evils OF
multiplying elective officers, and thus in
creasing the strife OF public contest, your
mcmorialists respectfully show that there
are grave public considerations which
defeat such proposal. The majority, II
rot all, OF the appointiye offices, which 1t Is
by this bill proposed to make elective,
require special training and skill for their
discharge, and are OF such daily impor-
tance that it is necessary to have them sub
ice, to constant supervision. by some power
like the City Council, perpctually ready to
! hold their occupants to account, and replace
them if incompetent or unworthy, while at
the same time The responsibility OF the ap'
pointing power to the people remains Il sur
/ ficient guaranty against abuse.
We are satisfied that the large majority OF
! the tax payers OF the city share these views
and will unite in the prayer that no such
! leglsli0n be had, and accordingly pray tbe
Assembly not to make this radical change
in system under which our city has 50 long
