INCREASE IN TAXES.

We have regarded with some amaze
ment the action of the COMMITTEES of
the Whole of the Council of the city of
Richmond in raising license taxes up
on any branch business.
AT the present time business inter-
ests are Keeling and staggering like a
drunken man. and is worse of than
anything else and yet in the face of
this, for this aforesaid committee to
Increase license is the most suicidal
course we have witnessed during this
day and generation save within the
confines of the Democratic Party.
Two offices have been Great d, that
of Inspector of Plumbing, and the
other. that of Special Accountant.
Instead of retrenching, they proceed
to increase the license.
Now, it is said that this same CITY
will be asked to contribute ($2C 600
twenty thousand dollars towards the
Expense of entertaining ex-Confeder.

here in June to do honor to Mr.. JET.
PERSON DAVIS.
Mr.. JAMES B. PACE, an accredited
millionaire and one of the most public
spirited citizens of this community
has recently failed, and Mr.. JAMES T
GRAY has gone down with his liabili.
ties at ($l00,OOO) one hundred thous
and dollars. This has produced 4

Whole would add further to this de-
rangement by the increase of license

some way to tell you so, we shall be
greatly mistaken.

AFTER THE DEAF AND DUMB.

THE Deaf and Dumb Institute at
stanton is now on the rack of public
investigation. and it is in order for
the quality of white-wash usually APP
piled TO be much thicker than that
which has been usually resorted to for
that purpose.
And what viii they do about it if
the charges are sustained Simply
proceed to create another Office for
some democrat charged with the duty
of watching, and he viii be sound
asleep or stone blind, within week
after he has been installed in the
snug berth, drawing his salary.
The charges of immortality were sus-
tanned against the officials of the Eas-
tern Lunatic Asylum, and what did
they do about it? Nothing, and the
result in this case will be on par with
that.

RACE PREJUDICE.

The hotels of Hartford, Conn, re-
fused accommodations TO party OF
five Hampton students on the 22nd
of January and their action was based
wholly and solely on their color.
The persons thus Disseminated
against were Miss LIzzlE RANEY, Miss
SALLIE DAVIS, Mr.. w. II. DAGGs. Mr..
IL. L. WHITE, and Mr.. J. IL. VAIN
RIGHT.
AS strange as it may appear, the
Sioux Indian could get accommoda-
lions which were not accorded the
colored folks. We knew that Con-
necticut was strongly Democratic in
its politics and that it has been only
by the most consummate ability that
it has ever been swung into the Re-
publican columns. but that it should
be thus impregnated with race preju-
dice is as disgracef1l as it is humiliat-
ing.

REV. w. w. BRowNE's outrageous
treatment Of ksv. W. H DIXON, the
energetic Baptist divine of Newport
News, Va , is in keeping with his past
record.
Rev. DIXON lives at Newport News
REV. Browne at Richmond and yet he
went down there to insult him in his
own home
Is it not shameful that he should
continue the war upon the Baptis
Ministry? He did not know its power
but he will be acquainted with it be
fore his campaign of vituperation ant
misreprese ntation of our leaders is a
an end.

seems that during meeting Of the

being held at his own church.

saw every motion that anybody made, any
where in the room, excepting, of course
right behind him. / was naturally in
terested in this, and presently l noticed
that he was watching man who was lust
coming in. The newcomer was a stout
built, ugly looking fellow, who looked
carefully around as he entered. and who
almost Immediately saw Black Harry He
started little and then, evidently think
ing that Common did not see him. as his
head was not turned toward the door, he
stepped carefully to his right till he was
almost behind where Connor sat. Stin
Conner did not turn his head, but could
see him watching the other as he stepped
slowly around until he was fairly out OF
the range even Of Connor's remarkable
eyes, Then saw Conner suddenly look
run at the dealer with question as plain
" expressed as it could have been in words.
So naturally looked at he dealer
He gave no sign at first, that l could see,
of even knowing that Conner was in front
OF him, but went on dealing as If there was
nothing else in the world to do. Then in
an instant his eyes seemed to blaze. The
eye business was as wonderful to me as
the knife play had been in the afternoon.
When 1 saw the dealers signal l looked
back at Conner, and in an instant saw
tragedy. The newcomer was drawing a re-
volver, and at the same time Conner was
turning his head and throwing the knife
j had sold him. He rose from his chair
as he threw it, and the strangers revolver
exploded, but the bullet went wild. for he
sank to the floor as he fired, with the
point of the knife in his brain.
" Gentlemen said the dealer, before any
one else could speak. I say Black Harry
done just right That white-liveIed cur
had sworn to kill him on sight, and was
shootin' from behind. And. gentlemen,
it's none of our business what the quarrel
was about
"As stranger in the place thought II
best not to ask questions about what was
none of my business" said the drummer,
as he threw away his cigar. but always
felt little uneasy to think l had taken
the price of that knife
