Chairman GrOut Has No Doubt of Its
Final Passage.

The Rock Greek park bill has gone over until
the next District day, but among the friends
OF the measure there is no doubt of its ulti-
mate success. Mr.. Grout said to a STAR re-
porter today that he saw no reason to
doubt the final passage Of the bill, time being
the only requisite, as on Monday the opposi-
ton, while they were able to delay action, were
really universally very weak. MIR. Grout was
asked what he thought Of the proposition to
charge portion of the cost on the adjacent
property owners.
THE committee went into that proposition"
he replied, before reporting the bill and we
came to the decision that there was too much
doubt as to the constitutionality OF the scheme
Tor us to go into it as q committee. II the House
in its judgment decided that the action
would be legal the committee will offer no de-
cided objection to the plan. The conference
committee can then study the matter
in all its phases aud decide
whether to risk the action or not
have not gone into the subject exhaustively
enough to give a decided opinion as to what
think personally in regard to the proposition.
number of the western state courts have de-
clded that such assessments are legal
What the Supreme Court here would
decide is a matter of conjecture.
stands that the strip of land which it is pro-
posed to take for this park is owned to a very
large extent by parties who will also be adja-
cent property owners, and that in these cases
the advantage accruing can be partly set off in
the damage assessed, no doubt will prevail
and long series Of complications will be
avoided"

Letter from Richmond.

Correspondence of the ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE
RICHMOND, Vs., Feb. 20.-Among the
visitors at the Capitol to-day were ex State
Senator Marshall Mccormick, of Clarke,
and Sheriff of Fairfax county. The latter
came little too late to have the privilege
of hearing big speech from Senator Moore,
of Fairfax, on the oyster question.
The bill to grant General A. L. Long a
pension of S25 month will not pass the
General Assembly, but Delegate Shackelford
of Orange, says that he is going to do his
level best to secure the passage of the bill! at
this session. and if he fails he will try again
two years hence. Gen. Long, at the opening
of the late war, was in the United States
army. He was abide camp to Gen. Sum-
ner, whose daughter he had married. His
first service was with the army of West Vir-
giDia under Gen. Loving, and then on the
staff of Gen. r. E. Lee. He has been blind
for nineteen years. and the support of him
self and family has depended entirely upon
the exertions of his wife. He is nov entire.
~ supported by his wife, and her death or
loss of health would throw him upon the
world without bread or shelter. Under
these circumstances, and no view of the fact
that 80 far he has never received anything
from his State, be appeals now to her to re-
deem the pledge made to him when he came
to her defense.
Delegate Hume, OF Alexandra, will this
week have secured the passage in the House
of all the bills introduced by him during the
fes,ion. He says II the companies to whom
charters have been granted to operate in
and around Alexandria carry out their pro-
posed enterprises Alexandria will be one Of
the greatest cities in the South.
Copies of the annual report OF the Super
intendent of Public Instruction were placed
upon the desks of Senators to-day. 1t is a
very voluminous document and ia filled
with statistical Information. In the report
the Superintendent of Public Instruction
gives the answers of the various school gu,
perintendents in the State to the query,
"How can the efficiency OF the public schools
of our county or city be improved?' Su
peIintendent Carne, of Alexandria city, an
swers as follows: by having more male
| teachers, and choosing teachers OF the first
grade only" Superintendent Febrey, Of
Alexandra county, says, 1.-THE establish.
ment of graded schools will greatly increase
their efficiency" The superintendent OF
Fairfax says, by improving the teaching
force, both in the subjects to be taught and
| the method ct teaching"
The bill authorizing the publication OF the
statements of insurance companies in cities
where the main Office or Offices are located
passed the House to day and will probably
pass the Senate tomorrow. Mr.. Hume lie
the patron OF this bill. B. P. 0.
