prove failure. There the mighty waves
are continually rolling with resistless
power, and the largest crafts are tossed
up and down like fragments Of cork-wood.
Breakwafers will have TO be constructed at
great cost to resist the agitation OF the
tides, and they will cause the sands to fill
up the slips they are intended to protect,
and continual dredging will In time bank
rupt such enterprises; and worse vet,
the worms that inhabit salt water will
riddle the piles OF the wharyes and
the vast platform sheds will have to be
periodically rebuilt, while the barnacles
will coat the bottoms OF the vessels that
lie at such improvised places Of ship
ment, and the worms will penetrate their
sbeathing and timbers and quickly de-
stroy valuable vessels OF commerce, besides
the chills and fevers that will destroy their
nayigators. These vessels would be pre-
served and relieved from the ravages Of
these saltwater insects and the barnacles
made TO drop from them were trans
shipments effected at the head of tide
water, whcrs nature has apparently in.;
dicated they should be carried on.
These objections apply more or less
forcibly to all saltwater harbors, and while
rents OF some ocean bayOus weaken the
force OF the tides and lessen the agitation
Of the waters, all such anchorages and
harbors are not without the other objec-
tions cited. The matter Of dredging Is in
cidental TO all harbors, but least OF all TO
those that are washed by bold streams that
flow from mountain passes over beds OF
granite and marble. Improve the naviga-
tlon OF our river, rs may be easily done by
one or two more " Dutch-Gap canals" 4" at
points readily discerniblc, and little more
dredging, with deepening Of the channel
at Goose Hill flats, and construct with all
possible dispatch a "ship basin" and
wharfages such ms we have before indi-
Gated. Thus, Riohmond's fortune will be
assured, and relaxing our taste for costly
and gaudymansions, we shall have in their
stead the emblems of substantial power and
greatness. More anon. c.

Sunday Boer-Ths Smith Law Dead
Letter I'm Ohio.

The Smith law has become about dead
letter in Columbus, rs the saloons that
were open all day Sunday will attest. On
last Sunday one week ago a great many
were open, and were selling beer under
various subteriuges and various names.
Sunday some OF these were more bold
and open than one week ago. Instead OF
sending the thirsty one around to the back
or side door he was welcome TO come in
boldly through the front entrance and par
take OF the hospitaities OF the house, pro-
yidine he had the money. The saloons
were not quite so bold in the daytime,
but last night nearly all were open, and
were driving brisk trade. At Hesse-
nauer's and Collins's Gardens bands were
i'm attendance last night, and the large
crowds that were present were partahing
OF what was called weiss beer.
Mr.. Pinney, who has concert-garden
near the Fair-Ground, yesterday was CIV

Sunday all the saloons will be open, and
will make no pretence at cOncealing their
opinion OF the law, and that all muslin
screens and blinds OF similar character
will be abolished, and that the business will
be carried on openly and above board.
Inst where the fault lies it Is hard TO say.
II is the duty Of the day patrolmen to re-
mort all violations OF law that come under
their notice; and they should not wait for
the night force to do this. The day men

the smith law, and hence have not done so.

Virginia. a,rnnite fsr st. I.ouis.

Mr.. Fred. w. Mott. Of st. Louis, Mo-, has
perfected his arrangements with the Rich
mond Granite Company for the sale OF
5000 tons Of granite blocks to be used for
paving the streets OF Sc. LOUIS. He has
also made arrangements with Mr.. b. 8.
barbour, general freight and ticket agent Of
the Richmond and Allegheny railroad. for
the transportation OF the blocks over this
line, and yesterday this work was COM
mcnced. In order to secure prompt transit
OF the freight, Mr.. Barbour tele-
graphed to Huntington, and secured
barge there which will take the
granite down the river Immediately upon
its arrival there. MFR. Mott speaks in the
highest terms OF the quality OF our granite,
and considers himself very fortunate in
deed in being able to secure at the time as
much OF 1t as he did. The streets of st.
Louis have been by-word and reproach
for some time, and recently the Council de-
termined to have them paved with granite.
The contract was awarded to a gentle
man whom Mr.. Mott represents, and
about n fortnight ago the last-named
gentleman came on TO Richmond TO look at
the Virginia material and see II II was suit
able for the purposes intended. He found

had been based upon prejudice, and he
frankly admitted that it was excellent, and
almost unequalled for any OF the purposes
to which it could be applied. The city of
81. Louis will need two and half million
OF blocks, but very many Of them will be
furnished from Missouri quarries. The
blocks there are twice the size OF the
ones taken out OF the Virginia quarries,
but are said to he Of softer quality. This
Is the first time that Virginia granite has
been shipped West, and as there is an in
exhaustable quantity of il here, and that,
too, OF the best sort, ii will no doubt before
very long become a common thing to find
it passing over the railroads to distant
points out OF the State. Yesterday the
Dispatch stated that Mr.. Rady had taken
a contract to furnish q part OF the blocks.
The name intended to be used was Kady,
and the information was wrong as to his
having secured the contract. lie expects
TO take hands out to Missouri to work in
the granite qnarries there. Two OF the
large cities OF the West are now about to
use Virginia granite.
