We Are to Have a New city Hall.

A great deal OF impatience has been mani
tested by the people at what they thought
was tardness on the part OF the Council
in failing to carry ont their recorded wishes
in regard to the building OF new City
Hall. The people voted big majority for
the hall last May, and they thought their
servants ought to have needed their wishes
sooner, but the c0uncilmen had deal OF
tough work with the water first, then the
gas and the bill OF appropriations, and
last, but not least, the well-meant but
worrying attention OF the irrepressible
Alderman Il. Il. Chafiin. In due
time these matters were first considered,
and now the Finance Committee have de-
cided to report to the Council in favor OF
building the City Hall. The details OF the
plan have not yet been fully consummated,
but before the next meeting OF the Council
they will be. and it is understood that an
appropriation of 100000 will be asked for
for the purposeindicated. Then plans and
specifications will be called for, the site
picked out, and the work speedily com
menced. 1t is certainly time to have the ball,
for not only are the city officials seriously
embarrassed in the discharge OF their duties,
but the public is annoyed at the lack OF ac-
commodations when forced to see the otii-
GERS on business. The site OF the old City
Hall will probably be selected.

John McCullough La,t wight.

"That was fine aciing,v said an old
Theatre-g0er, as the curtain fell on John
Mccullough in q stirring sccne nt the Rich
mond Theatre last night while he person.
ated the character Of Vrginins in Sheridan
Knowles fine six-act tragedy OF that name.
The compliment was well deserved. and
was echoed by every intelligent listener
present. The house was a good one. the
company was good, and Mr.. Mccullough,
although hoarse from severe cold, made
such an impression that at the close OF one
act bouquet was thrown him from a pri-
vate box, and the curtain was rung up
four times before he was allowed to retire.
The APPLAUSE and the presence ougnt both
to be considered az the very highest testi-
monial to Mr.. MeCollough's excellence as
tragedian, for only such excellence could
have caused either in Richmond during the
Lenten season. The support Is very good !;
certainly far above the average. kr. Ed
mund Collier a. Appins Cfaudius could
not have been better. In bearing, voice,
and behavior, he took the part in the
most natural way, and appeared TO advan-
tage. Mr.. Joseph IIaworth as Icilius made
a most favorable impression. and when the
wire edge has worn of to greater extent,
and he learns TO husband his resources a
little more, he will become popular indeed.
Miss Kate Fosytb, as Virginia, eOnid not
have increased the eflectand interest that sur
rounded this character, save, perhaps. had
she when not acting showed less self-con-
sciousness and less anxiety about her toilet.
Everybody, however, was wei, pleased, and
the company win have a crowded audience
TO hear and see them in Othello tonight.

Iandazuri and his command. by forced
marches. had reached mean time, at about
noon Of that memorable day, place not
far from Quito, where he had TO stop for
food. The firing OF the attack was heard,
and in spite OF the fatiguing march per-
formed and the hunger OF the troops Lam
dazuri and his chiefs around fastened to
tender 10 their comrades their help, and
soon joined i'm their decisive endeavor TO
capture the city OF Quito, which was fully
and successfully accomplished on that same
afternoon before sunset. The streets OF the
CAPITAL were strewn with the bodies OF the
killed, and the struggle seems to have been
very sanguinary and obstinately contested.
All the Dictator's troops at Quito were
taken prisoners. Only few leading chiefs
escaped, among them Colonies Morales and
Ortega. A provisional government was I'M
mediately organized under Colonel Jose
Maria Sarasti. lawyer OF distinction and
popularity, and General Augustin Guer-
rero. A provisional Cabinet has been
formed under Sarasti and Guerrero,
with Colonel Ramon Agiurre as gen.
cral III command OF the army. Yeinte-
milla IL reduced TO the actual limits OF
Guayaquil. The veterans he had at dif-
ierent stations under his control have been
withdrawn and recalled 10 Guayaquil,
where the Dictator intends to resist his
enemies, taxing advantage OF the unusual
facilities OF the place for an indefinite
resistance. The forces from Cucnca,
under Colonel Urbina, are at Guayaquil,
and there Is nothing to hinder the new
goyernment from extending Its rule
throughout Ecuador, with the only excep-
ton of the Port Of Quayaquil.

The proposed Treaty with Mexico


Gen Grants statements, regarding
the proposed reciprocity treaty with
Mexico, will be read with interest.
Every body knew that trcniy uad
been framed. 10y commissioners from
the two republics, aud that il wa-
about ready for submission To- the
senate. But until now ,he general
public had very limited conception
of the scope and nature of this treaty.
As matter OF course the arrange
meut must be really reciprocal, ~ its
name indicates; there must be practi-
cal advantage ia sight, for
each nation, or there can
be no treaty According to
Gen. Grant this principle has been sd-
hercd to throughout, aud there has
been no Fcheming, on either side, to
get the sdyautagr OF the other. In the
general outline furnished by ten.
Grant who was at the head Of the
American Commi-.ionJ il j. plain to
see that while Mexico may con,idec
size has made very good bargain, the
United states has ample reason 10 be
satisfied. even more -o, perhaps, tuAn
our ucighbors across the Rio Grandc.
Gcn. Grant demonstrates that
the sugar and Tobacco Industries
of this country cannot be- nlcc
ted, in any wise, by free trade wlth
Mexico, for the -impDc reason that the
lattcr country does not raise more
than one.iuurth enough OF those ar
ticlc- for home consumption. We
shall not import large quantities OF
any thing from Mexico. Ihe adyan-
tages, for the United states, TO accrue
from the treaty, consist in the mag
niicent field opened up for export Gu
terpr-c. In this country we have
billions Of money invested in manu-
features. At present the Mexican
customs duties ON all American man
uiactures are practically prohibitory.
Under the treaty all leading lines OF
manufactures viii have free en-
trance to the sister republic. The re-
suit Will be that American enterprise
will soon control the tioid Of opera
tion-, Within half decade we shall
drive traus.A llautic manufactures out
OF Mexico. The rapid progress of the
Mexican railway system will steadily
increase the extent and value Of the
field until here is hardly any comput'
ing the dimensions our export trade
Will assume, II is very gratifying ia
know that the McNicnn- me satisfied
for Cen Grant and Mr.. Prescott have
certainly taken good carcol their side
of the question. The senate will cou.
slider the treaty This week, and 1t viii
doubtless bee ratified with very iittrii
any revision.
