Oregon Hu.-For months the petition of
the citizens of Oregon Hill has been before
the City Council, praying for very necessary
street openings and repairs in that locality.
Oregon Hill is at present entirely isolated,
so far as gas and water privileges are con-
cerncd, and travel to and from it is very
difficult, owing to the bad condition of the
streets. The buildings there are mostly
wooden, and should fire break out and
gain any headway, whole squares would
probably be laid waste 1; for should the en-
gines succeed in getting over there they
would find no water with which to extin-
guish the flames. In behalf of the people
residing in that part of the city we urge the
Council to give early attention to the streets
and other pressing needs of property own
ers and residents, who have been patient
and long suffering.

The Great genealogical EIaibitioa-Ea-
co,uaguag Signs.-The 9th, 7th, and Sth
days of next month having been selected as
the time for holding the National and State
Pathological Exhibition, the numerous
friends of it are industriously at work
throughout the State to make it a success.


Already numerous letters have been re-
ceived, which give promise of large at
tendance, and the exhibition of native
fruits, such as have never been seen before
in this country.


Nor is Virginia alone jealous in this ex-
hibition, for letter from the Michigan
State Pathological Society informs the sec
retary of our Virginia society that Michigan
has engaged a car to run her guests directly
through to Richmond, and that they will
reach this point in full time for the exhibi-
ton.


California, famous alike for its vineyards
and orchards, will forward her quota Of
fruit (and it will no doubt be splendid in
size and Variety on the 22d of this month.
This will give ample time for it to reach
Richmond before the commencement of the
exhibition.


The delegation from the great State OF
New York have, we hear, already arranged
for an excursion from its metropolis to
Richmond on the occasion by way of the
Old Dominion line of steamers. They will
reach Richmond on the 4th. From this
State large quantity of splendid fruit is
expected. President Wilder, of the Ma
tional Society, with the Boston delegation,
will arrive on the 9Th. From other States
we also hear of preparations which will en-
sure full representations of people and
fruit. We hope, in fact, that no State WILDE
unrepresented, for all have fruit peculiar to
themselves, and all have people who would
profit by brotherly talk with those skill
ed in improved fruit culture. Come along,
there is room enough for everybody.

the poor ana ignorant than the opposites

men, too, loathe spiritual pauperism as much
as they do physical poverty, and In the house
Of God, as in the homo Of the dead, the rich
and the poor should meet together as equals.
And the Word Of the Lord should be minis
tered as freely, as fully and as impartially to
one as to tie other. We do not charge, Of
course, that it is not so ministered now;
nevertheless, we should not like to take the
responsibility of proving the affirmative in
every case.

It would be just as absurd for US to look for
grapes on thorns r figs on this.les as to expect
moral community where one church stands over
against thirty.slx grogshops-one grogshop
for every saventy-four persons and one church
for every 2,704 persons-as we find in this
southern tier of wards. Neither the laws of
nature nor the law of morals operate in this
way. Every seed will produce its own legiti-
mate fruit, and as the grogshops SOW the
largest quantity Of seed so they reap the most
abundant harvest, and the city has to gather
up the wrecks of vice and crime and spend its
millions annually to build and maintain prisons
and almshouses b cause tho Christians of New
York have neglected to rear and support
churches for the religious and moral instruc-
tion of the people. Here is where the respon-
sibility rightly belongs, and we believe God
will require this at their hands. As q matter
Of self-preservation they should spend their
money freely now to give the Gospel to the
masses, so that by and by they will not have to
pay increased taxes to support the victims of
intemperance and crime.

A VERDICT WAS RENDERED yesterday In
the Superior Court which shows that travellers
on our city cars have some rights as well as
those moneyed corporations, and that the same
cannot be disregarded with impunty. Mr..


Thomas Hamilton got on a Third avenue
car at Ninetieth street to come to Thirtieth
street. He paid his fare, and at the depot was
transferred 10 another car, but no transfer
ticket given him. Below the depot his fare
was again demanded, and upon his stating that
he had paid bis fare once and refusing to pay
1t again he was forcibly elected from the car.
The jury gave him verdict of five hundred
dollars damages. A few more such suits and a
few more such verdcts will be likely to teach
our railroad officials that they cannot by such
q course as that parsued toward Mr.. Hamilton
publicly brand a passenger as cheat and q
fraud without having to make some indemnify.

The proceedings of Congress yesterday were
characterized by extreme dulness. No sub
ject Of public interest or Importance came up
in either House. The Senate did not remain
in open session longer than an hour, when, on
the receipt Of the correspondence in reference
to the Catacazy matter, 1t went into executive
session. There were some resolutions pre-
sented in the open session for the arrest of
recusant witnesses in the Ku Klux investiga-
tion; but that whole matter has come to be
regarded in the light of an unmitigated nui-
sance, having not the least interest for the
general public. II everything connected with
it could be allowed to sink out of sight for
ever 1t would be relief to the whole country.


In the House q resolution was adopted, on
the motion of the Chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs (Mr. Banks), calling on
the President for information as to the in
structions given to our naval commanders in
the Cuban waters, as to further particulars
connected with the brutal execution of the
Havana students who were charged with the
desecration Of CastaHon's grave and as
to the failure Of the Spanish govern
ment to carry out promised reforms in
the West Indian colonies Mr.. Banks probably
expects to make the response the groundwork
for report from his committee, In which our
government is to be placed in hostile atti-
tude to that Of Spain. A large part of the
time during which the House sat yesterday
was frittered away In q fruitless attempt to
have new drawing for Seats and IN the read
ing of voluminous bill codifyng the postal
laws. Subsequently tho House took up the
bill for the apportionment Of Representatives
to Congress, but had made no disposition Of il

Our Presidents Message makes favorable
impression In England, and is favorably re-
ceived by the press Satisfaction is generally
expressed with the spirit in which our rela-
tions with Great Britain are treated, and the
opinion Is almost unanimous that never at any
time has more fattering exhibit been made
of the condition Of the country. The London
Tines, however, regrets the threatened abol-
ton of the income tax without the adoption of
substitute; but the Times forgets that no
substitute is wanted. We can dispense with
the revenue collected from these income taxes,
and get on very well without substitute.
General Grant has simply adopted the idea
that In the reduction of the national debt
already achieved such assurances have been
given Of the capacities and the fixed purpose
Of the country to meet all its obligations, that
we can with propriety 60 on with the redemp-
tion Of the debt at considerably less than the
extraordinary figure of one hundred millions
year. Hence his recommendation for the
reduction Of our internal and external taxes
including the abolition of all our internal
taxes except those on wines, spirituous and
malt liquors, tobacco and stamps.


The Presidents recommendations on the
subject are sound and universally approved
by the country; but as to what will be done
by Congress upon the line of tax reductions
recommended no man can tell. We presume,
however, that the income tax will be abolished,
and most, If not all, the other internal taxes
suggested as surplusage by the President
but on the tariff question there is such a con-
fiict Of opinions in the House Of Representa-
tives that it is possible there may be no agree
ment in that body this session upon any bill
Of reductions. Meantime the important fact
which stands out in the boldest relief is this,
that our present national taxes, internal and
tariff, are far in excess of the wants of the
government, immediate or prospective, and
they ought to be reduced.


THEIRS, BISMARCK AND THE POPE.-We
are specially informed by cable telegram from
Paris that President Theirs has demanded Of
the Holy See the recall of Prince dc Chigi-
Abani as Nuncio of the Vatican to the French
republic Bismarck is said to have influenced
the action of Theirs. The merits of the case,
as against Prince Caigi-Albani, are not stated
particularly, but we suspect they will be made
plain in very brief space Of time in the light
Of the question OF the East. Prince Chigi is
Guardian Of the Roman Conclave and Mar
shal of the Roman Church. The Church has
turned Its eyes towards the holy shrines in
Turkey just at the moment when Russia, Ger
many and Austria are peering with unusual
earnestness in the same direction. Prince
Chlgi-Albani may have expressed an opinion
TO the effect that France is out in the cold and
that the empire missed grand opportunity In
Turkey, as has the republic so far. The
clerics Of the Russo Greek Church may arrive
at the grand objective point in the East first,
Notwithstanding all the disappointments which
the Czars have endured since Suwarrow
drilled his Cossacks In Ismail in 1890.

Nearly every mail for the past month or six weeks, has laid on our table some of the good fruits thereof in one and another shape. Papers of first class ability, that we never heard of before, come with marked editorials mentioning that pamphlet in the right spirit. Our duty was to keep on sending out additions to the work, instead of reprinting any of the good words. We have not space to thank these scores of exchanges in detail.
