A Razor Carrier Fined.

N kNaZOr Sarrlet HlQeU.
Matthew Butler, colored hack driver, was in
the Police Court this morning charged with
carrying dangerous weapon in the shape of q
razor. The ''scraper" was put in evidence
and was most disreputabie looking in
strument OF torture. 1t was notched
and nicked until it looked like a
meat saw. Special Oficer Reddick testified to
seeing the razor in Buffers hand while he was
engaged in a quarrel and that he dropped il
when he was pursued James johnson said he
saw "Butier and his friend engaged in q very
big fuss" He saw Butler drop the razor
on Q street and New Jersey avenue
and the officer pick it up. Joseph
Thompson also saw the occurrence and gave
further evidence this morning. He heard
Butler threaten to cut the other man and then
drop something, he did not know what, and
saw Reddick pick il up.
Buffers lawyer tried to prove that the razor
was not dangerous weapon, but Judge Miller
said the razor had been hacked and the points
eharpeued and it could easily kill dozen men.
Dennis Humphrey said that he had heard
Reddick say he would get even with Butler for
something he had done. The judge said q
razor was one of the most dangerous Of all
weapons aud imposed fine Of ESQ.

We suppose that on tomorrow night the
Board of Aldermen viii be asked 70 concur
IA the action Of tho othor branch of the City
Council extending Che time allowed to the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad Company for running its trains
over the connection railway and through
che streets of this city.
The petition Of the railroad company is
meritorious one. Indeed, we might say that
20 grant the privilege requested would be
O simple act of iustice; for it was in the at
tempt to comply with the requirements of
the city fathers that the railroad company
undertook TO build abelt road to enable It's
trains TO cross tho James river without run
ming through our streets.
Again: The attompt TO construct
branch road intended 10 relieve Richmond
of the trains which had been allowed to
use her streets cost the railroad company
a good deal Of money and occasioned not
little trouble TO the officers OF that COM
pany. not to speak of the annoyance to
The stockholders. All this expense and all
this trouble were the natural results Of the
attempt 10 carry out in good faith the
agreement with the City Council, or rather
70 comply with the ordinance which had
been passed touching this matter
The Richmond, Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac railroad has better record. We take
A.. than any otherrailroad company in this
country. Perhaps we ought simply 10
claim for II as good a record os tho best
that can be shown by any other railroad.
In period Of nearly sixty-fve years 1t has
not killed dozen passengers, and our in
preston is that it has not killed half
dozen. II has been 80 managed as 70 re-
pay to the Commonwealth not simply one
dollar for every dollar which she invested
ia il. but more nearly two dollars for one
One of the oldest roads in the country, 1t
has kept abreast with tho times and never
failed TO ayailits Of all new discoveries
and inventions and beneficial changes.
The city fathers years ago compelled this
railroad company 10 cease running Its
trains on Broad street. but that act Of COM
pulsion did not prevent that company from
running its cars as far down Broad street
year after year as it was necessary to run
them in order 10 tho objects IN view
when the peoplo Of the city were depend
ent upon that company for the transpor-
tation necessary to make the State fairs
success.
Let us be Just. Surely justice asks at
cur hands that We shall not take such
steps es would destroy this railroad. For
our part We cannot imagine how it would
he possible for the railroad company to
proyide for their through travel and
freight pending the construction of the
Belt road if they were forbidden TO trans
port the same through the city.

Tho Direct Tax.

For the life Of us we cannot understand
why Mr.. OATES, or any other southern man,
should oppose the passage by toe House OF
Representatives Of what is called the di-
rect-tax bill. 1t seems to us that good
policv-that is TO say, statesmanship-de-
mopds OF the hands Of the southern people
that thev shall consent TO the rounding OF
the direct tax to the persons who pad II.
The tax as levied amounted to about
500 600 900 for the whole country. OF this
sum about Sl70OO,OOO was paid, and less
than three millions left unpaid. The
northern States paid their portions. Most
Of the southern States, of course, failed TO
pay theirs, owing to the war. The tax was
levied in 1861, we believe. The bill now
before Congress provides that the amount
collected be refunded and the portion IN
collected be RENTED. If the amount col
lected is not refunded, then the effort will
be made to carry out the original proyi-
sions of the law and require the unpaid
balance to be collected. In that case VIZ
ginia would have to pay her unpaid por-
ton
How much was Virginia's portion, and
how much does she owe? She or her tax
PAYERS still owe. we think, nearly three
hundred thousand dollars; aud If she I'M
dertakes to pay this sum, she ought in JUS
tice to the citizens who were forced to pay
the tax. refund to them the large sum
perhaps four hundred thousand dollars or
more-which they paid because she was
unable to protect them from the Federal
tax-gatherer.

Republican Shamelessness.

We suppose that nobody who knows the
negro expects him to be other than his
history during and since reconstruction
days has shown him to be. But what shall
we say of Republican statesmen" can
didates for the high Office of President OF
the United States who purchase the no.
Cro's vote as they would a horsewhip?
One DUDLEY, negro, was not long ago
appointed postmaster at Americas, Ca,
Vhereupon Colonel JACK BgowN, dis
gruntled competitor for the same appoint
ment, relieved his conscience of burthen
by exposing HAERIsoN's purchase of DUD-
LEY. We quote Colonel Brown as follows:
~ went to the Chicago Convention in
the interest of Allison. Sherman paid the
expenses Of Buck and the. entire Georgia
delegation TO Chicago, and put up some
extra money besides. Dudley's expenses
were, however, not included. lie PAID ms
own way there. His seat was contested,
aud Buck, who had SheTmans funds to
dispense, paid the expenses Of Ebert
Head, another negro, who contested Dud-
ley's seat, and who. Buck thought, would
get ii. Buck, YOU know. divided out the
bherman Doodle among the Georgia boys;
"Well, in Chicago, / found Dudley had
paid his own expenses. / collareu him and
led him up to Allison's headquarters.
Dudley wanted 500. / offered him TO
Governor Gear and Mr. Henderson, who
had charge of Allison's headquarters, at
that amount. They, however, refused to
buy him. Allison was not buying dele
gates. Then / led the negro out like a
mule and put him on Harrson's block.
Bill Dudley, Of Indiana, quietly bid his
price, and got him for HARRISON. The
negro Dudley carried ont bis contract.
1e got his money. all he asked, and now
he gets post-oihce besides"
Blocks-of-Five DUDLEY bought black
DUDLEY for that strenuous advocate of
civil-service reform Mr.. BENJAMIN HARRI-
BON, now President Of the United States
OF course the principal beneficiary in this
shameful transaction-Mr. HAREIsoN-will
claim that he knew nothing of oil this
dickering. But if not, why did he carry
out the bargain by appointing the negro
10 Office!
Senator SHErMAN-JoHN SHERMAv-paid
the expenses Of Buck and the entire Georgia
Republican delegation to Chicago! Why has
no senator called for an investigation of this
matter? Is the man who tries TO buy the
Office Of President Of the United States ft
20 sit in the United States Senate Is
there no senator who can see that it is his
duty to consult the welfare of the country
rather than the feelings OF senator
"ghen / led the negro out like mule and
put him upon the HARRISON block! BILL
DUDLEY" bought him for HARRISON and
6HEEMAS lost his vote and his influence.

Noticing tho remarks Of the Richmond
Dispatch on town taxation, We remind our
contemporaries that in North Carolina the
policy of exempting manufacturing plants
forinstance, from town taxation has been up
in nearly every Legislature, butlt has been
invariably voted down as being. unconsti-
tutional. The Legislature, usually wiling
enough to let the courts determine disputed
points arising under tine Constitution, has
apparently thought our State Constitution
reasonably clear in not allowing such eX-,
emptions of real ate.-RGleigh NcrS 0Hd
Observer.
1t would DO impossible for language to
be clearer than that Of our State Constltu-
ton in regard to the taxation and the ex-
emption of property. Nevertheless, we
have again and again found in our Viz
ginia exchanges articles advising city
councils ia exempt certain non-exempta-
bic species of property from all taxation
for period Of years. Once in awhile we
learn that in some city or other such re-
Communications have been carried out.
