Sale of Fresh Meats Around the Markets.

To the Editor of the Dispatch
Taxpayer IN his remarks in Sundays
Dispatch in reference TO the ordinance pro-
hibiting the sale of fish. oysters, or fresh
meats is, | think, entirely correct.
Some of these men own the houses IN
which they do business. They are regu-
larly-Lcensed and tax-paying merchants.
Now, would there be any justice in forcing
them 10 move say $50 yards or more from
the market and rent other stores in order
to carry on their business, when in all
probability they would not be able to rent
out their own stores at any price? Their
business cannot come under the head of a
nuisance. If it did it would be the duty of
the police to report the fact. II is certain
ly O convenience, because many people
care not or do not get to market before IL
O'Clock. | now recall property. near the
market which at one time rented for 800
per month and is now renting for less than
one half that amount. and should this or
dinance be passed will become utterly
worthless either for rent or sale.
Very respectfully,
ASoTHEa TAxPAYER.

A coMMITTeEMAN's EXPERIENCE.
An Interesting BurleSquo on the Recent
Tour of Public Institutions.

lohr OF Publtc inetitutions.
The following interesting report" was
prepared by a member Of the legislative
Committee on Public Institutions, but has
not yet been presented:
To The Gepe7dl assembly Of Virginia:
Your committee would report that they
visited the various asylums Of the State in
bOX-car; that they rode in open wagons
and carts, through the cold. over rugged
mountains. and even walked to n neiehbOr-
ing State 20 get crust of bread and some
Sg1 cidJ at small cabin. They journey
ed night and day. and spent weary days
and sleepless nlghts--Often amid the chips.
And how we.sufIered for our constituents,
especially P0Vy Harris whom we We're so
anxious to relieve Of her political disabili-
ties that she might practice law. How We
endured, as We tried TO sleep, the contest
for the gold medal offered for the loudost
snorer; and what heart-burnings there
were az il was awarded Norfolk's deli
cate Senator How we feared for Rich
mond's Senator-our Jolly chairnan-as
he backed into his chair. lest he
should MISS it, and carrying away
the floor ii the crash, wreck the
whole committee. How we pitied Ne
buchadneZZar as he was forced to eat grass,
and how much more as he was looking for
dfic in the morning. 1t is useless to state
how we ate heavy bread, tough fat mid
ding. and rancid butter, and drank only
muddy and unhealthy water, smoking the
bean of the cigar-tree. You would never
believe that representatives, could suffer
so much for their constituents without
murmur. You may pity the poor uDfOr-
tunates whom we visited; but, alas who
viii pity us? Three of our number crazed
by cold, hunger, and hrsi, are gathering
shells below Williamsburg; two are hunt
ing for some of the dearest associations of
their youth in Petersburg; two are singing
loye-songs nightly under the windows of
the Female Normal School Of Farmville;
one wanders through the natural tunnel
wondering who made it one is joining in
the may dance at Marion, and three
were washed away at Staunton. The re-
mainder present themselves tattered and
torn, filthy and emaciated by their long
wauderings, and pray hence to be dis
missed with costs. Yours truly,
ftAxra4.rrrrrU
