this much-frequented thoroughfare published the inspector has bad more rubbish deposited there to be washed as heretofore la the adjoining marsh You suggest and very reaseno bly that this street should he paved connecting so it does two important thoroughfares It is not only a great in Its present condition but It has a most unpleesant discouraging and damaging appearance especially to strougers who are surprised to find a street muddy low and unpaved almost in the very centre of the city Now while the paving of streets even out in the suburbs is going on this short portion of the street alluded to should also be raised graded and payed It will pay the city well to do this tor being so near the buisness part of the town buildings would soon be erected thereon that could be readily sold or rented and other improvements made which would greatly the taxablevolue of property on both aides of the street I hope therefore the councils the street committee and others interested and disenterested will give early and special attemion to this matter and determine to abate what is a nuisance especially in wet weather and an un sightly place at all seasons Then there is Atlantic street too still ungraded and unpaved running from Ram street down to a mareh Extend this northward to Brewer and thus open another thoroughfare through the centrel part of the city and the enhanced value of property on the line et the improvement would soon suffice to pay the expense incurred with a large and liberal interest on the outlay Poor nes" 1 TEE COURTS aa Couaty Court-jades Watts

and her musical compas fly will Appear before a Norfolk audience for the hrat time in several years on which occasion we are to have Offenbach's celebrated opera "La -Grande Duchess" the most popular and sparkling of all the opera boufla productions Its plot la intensely- comical and it is full-freigkted with mirth-provoking dialogue and farcical situations The music is also popular and has a strong hold upon the masses who have heard it sung and played on the organ as well as the banjo fiL Oates personates the "Grand and in addition to her cious and facinating manner 8lie is to be credited with musical talent of a high order Her voice is handled with a skill which renders her efforts acceptable to listeners who would derive slight pleasure from more adventurous flights in the lyric skies Such a piece as this is well suited to develop the abilities of Mrc Oates and her company of tuneful wanderers and hence there will be few empty seats at the theatre The sale of reserved seats commences this morning at the Norfolk News company and those who are anxious to see the play to advantage should call on Mr Fogarty early DAY AorrEs--This martyr to whom to-dny is dedicated in the calendar having devoted herself to the service of God refuscd to become the bride of a noble Roman she was charged with being a Christian and endured many brutal indignities rather than sacrifice to the gods he suffered martyrdom A It 304 being first thrust into the flames and afterward beheaded Shortly afterward while her parents were bewailing her death She appeared to them with a glorified aspect and a snotless lamb by berside and bade them dry their tears for she watt now 14ever united to her dear Saviour 14-Irv tf-1T1 It being undeuiable that a proper eye tern of pilotage is a commercial necessity the second inquiry is how should it be sustained? 'Like a police force a pilot force may not be necessary to some but for that reason Would it be right or wise to require that ihe policeman thetild receive pa only wheu he made an arrest and that from the party arrested? The business of a pilot is most hazardous la borions and responsible he is requieed by law to serve live years' apprenticeship before he can obtain a licensei be must pay en enema license for the privilege of pursuing his arduous calling he must provide and furnish a proper boat-no 1 inconeiderable expense when it is considered that it Costs from $12000 to $15000 to build and equip such a vessel as le needed he must keen watch in sunshine and in storm by day and by niglitoipon the ocean within sight of the threatening breaker he must risk his life in a small open boat when boarding or leaving see-going vessels he is often blown out tit sea by storms and is frequently carried oil against his will in the vessel he is piloting to sea Hod detained months from his hotne friends and business he has to put up with whatever fare may be doled him while piloting a vessel to sleep upon boards and to be on duty fortyeight hours at a time Eubjected to exposure in inclement wenther' he

saturated with dimenee is reeking with the fatal fumes of coittagiiitis fever Ii1141 the putrefaction of its dead he tenet take hie life in his hands at all tiatee that commerce may not be impeded or lite and property upon the water be i-operiled" And in regard to their iminpensation It should be remembered that every vessel ettliject to rilot dues if not 'Token by a pilot before getting inside the capes is not required to pay pilotage unless the master thooseis to avail himself of their services Tile campideory pilotnge also only extends to lianiptonficads from which point the ship waster may or way Lot 88 he chooses employ a pilot to take his vessel to Richmond or up to this city This eltertiative is often taken advantage of in the employment of tugs to- tow the vessels to their respective ports These reductions from former fees leave the pilots as their monthly salary for all their hardships the munificelit sum of from $40 to $ea per month 'each Anil now an effort is being mesle to still further reduce their entitlements The coneequence if successful would be flint the association would be compelled to disband and tier commerce wouid be tot proteeted 11e how! the

Waite 1 not the best man wbo coeld be named for that place but there is no good reason why he should not be promptly confirmed so that great mass of serious people who believe in the principles for

The expense meets him at once and drives him therefore he has no redress The people are no more than moderate in their demands for the national government to consider this question Ile belonged to that class which believed that there could be found in the Constitution of the United States power to meet any question of national importance The pewees of the Constitution are ample and full to meet all exigencies at all times for the wants of the people He believed that power could be found in it to meet this question of cheap transportation There was power conferred by it for Congress to cross he line to look into the States to construct railroads and canals until the people of all sections -of the country be satisfied He had no local feeling in the matter but it the great West was to be cramped and confined for the want of transportation to market less than a quarter of a century would pass before Europe and the great East would be clamoring for the products of the West The people of the West sire activeIndustrious and interirisrig and they would transfer the manufactories ef the East and Great Britain to their own section and thus use their own products The vast surplus of pork wheat corn barley and rye of the West could hardly be es- market must be found Ile differed from the National Board of Trade as to the power of Congress in the mat- ter The board seemed to have a doubt as to that power but he had none Ile believed Congress had power to construct a railroad if it was deemed expedient to do so He did not say that Congress had the right to regulate charges on private railroads but it could coufer powers on a corporation to construct a railroad and prescribe rates and fares to be charged He had not yet made up his mind to vote a single dollar from the nu- tional treasury for that purpose but would be willing to vote forone such road to be constructed from New York to the Missouri river with branches to Chicago and other places Should he vote tor that however he would be expected to vote for fifteen or twenty more such roads and that he was not prepared to do He asked that the petition be referred to the committee on transportation routes to the Seaboard with the request that the committee within a reasonable time should present its conclusions on this intricate question He had no hope that after all their industry and thought they would be able to present a satisfactory solution of it but their report would be a step in the right direction The petition was referred to that committee Mr Bogy of Missouri having obtained the unanimous consent said the question of cheap trabsportation had assumed that of great importance and all felt it al- though he did not rise to give in his adhe- sion to the party called Grangers he hailed the birth of that organization with a great deal of pleasure The farmers of the West felt the wrong they labored under In his estimation the object most desired of the natural water routes of the interior leading to the ocean the improvement of the Missis- sippi Ohio Missouri and other large streams of the West the mouth of the Mississippi should be improved so that vessels of the largest class could come up to New Orleans Remove these obstruc- tions and we will have afforded to the great West means of cheap transportat ion Give the people the means to reach for- eign markets with their products He did not favor the construction of a rail- road now let that rest for the time being and confine legislation to the opening of the great water routes Mr Morton of Indiana asked unanimous consent to take up the resolution for the admission of Pinchbeck to a seat' in the Senate I as Senator from Louisiana Ile said he desired to have the resolution taken up that he might make a motion to recommit to the committee on privileges and elections with instructions to send for persons and papers and investigate as to the matter since last Friday He had received information justifying him in the belief that an investigation touching the eir- eumstanees should be madeotee Mr McCreery Kentucky said be had obtained the floor some days ago for the purpose of addressing the Senate on the subject of the Louisiana affaire and if it met the views of the Senate he would appoint Monday after the expiration of the morning hems to submit his remarks He therefore objected to the resolution being taken up slow -s Mr Morton gave notice that after the gentleman (McCteery) should conclude on Monday he would move that the resolution barecommitted for the purpose of investigation Mr Morton said for
