THE RossLYN CHARTER, which pass.
ed-the Legislature under suspension OF
the rules On Thursdsy last, is subject
OF general discussion here and in the
county. 1t is said that the bill was not
printed nor was it ever read in the log
islature. The provisions OF the charter,
it is stated, are such as to make Rosslyn
little kingdom of itself and that the
laws Of the State would not prevail
there. This morning Messrs. Harlow
and Cation, OF this city, went to Rich
mond to urge the Governor to veto the
measure. They were accompanied by
the members of the County Board of
Supervisors and by Messrs. J. +. Glenn
ents, K. r. Veitch, w. W. Douglas and
others, who will urge that the charter
is dangerous to the interests of the
county and gives too much power to
the officers named in the instrument.
