Richmond (Va.) Debt-Payer The familiar basin of the former James River Kanawha Canal Compa- ny, though centrally located, is 8o iso lated by controlling circumstances that comparatively few of our citizens see the great changes going on there during its conversion and adaptation by the Richmond & Allegheny rail- | road company to meet the wants and requirements of an advanced civiliza- tion, he turbid waters of that whilom “‘inland sea,” en whose bosom once floated the ancient canal-boat and batteaux, whose kindly wators awoke to mature vigor the sanguinary mosquito, and whose reverberating ochoes were mostly the enlivening toot of the boat-man’s mellow horn, and most lively inhabitants the slip- | pery cel, the accommodating cat-fish, the greedy mullet, and the savage gar- fish, is truly undergoing a wonderful | transformation, one caleulated ere | long to make it a centre of business, map of busy life,” rather than as heretofore, a text for swearing and a | synonym for non-progress, Earth is taking the place of water (the latter only making a bold stand on the south side) under the influence of the thou- sands of cubic feet of dirt which are daily dumped in to fill up the great chasm and make it suitable for rail- road purposes. Pile-drivers are hard at work daily, putting down spiles forty feet long and a foot in diameter, to give solidity to the new founda- tions which are being built up, The work in the basin lot is pro- ceeding with great rapidity. As fast as the spiles are driven through the water and soft mud at the bottom, and firmly fastened in solid earth, a gravel or dirt train comes along, and its contents fills up the spaco between the wood. The lines of railway at present laid through the basin lot are, as yet, necessarily used for construc- tion purposes. Beyond the basin, fronting the yTredegar foundry, the space between Gamble's and Oregon Hills, to the foot of Second strect, is being cleaned up, widened, and level- ed off for the erection of a round- house, repair-shops, store-rooms, paint shops, etc. Here will also be located a yard for storing cars not in use. This is the locality formerly known as the penitentiary pond, and a canal- boat yard used to flourish near by. It is also the spot on which, in 1827, the three pirates, Pope, Felix; and Couro, sentenced to death by chief-justice John Marshall, were hanged. Ona bluff between this point (north side of the canal) and the city Pump-House, will be built a coal schute. The char- acter of all the work onthe so far completed line to the Richmond & Allegheny Railrond is such as to elicit the unqualified admiration and praise of the most critical adepts in railroad construction. A glance even from an unpracticed eye will show the strength and solidity of the com- pleted work, especially that from the Pump-House down into the city. The feeder dam across the St. James river at the three-mile locks, where the city is now erecting costly and exten- sive water pumping works, is under- going very extensive repairs, includ- ing raising the breast of the dam and strengthening the same, whereby much of the water heretofore wasted at that point will be saved to the city waterworks, and the water-power de- rived from that portion of the canal which the railroad contracted should remain intact. In {his connection, it may be remarked that the two largest establishments now supplied with motive power by the continuing short line of canal are the Tredegar Works and Gallego Mills, As time progresses, a stone raceway, covered, will lead directly to the Eighth street bridge, on the south side of the old basin, to the flood-gate in front of the mill. At present a mud-machine is deepening the basin between the points last named, to give the water a better flow and more headway. All Richmond people k:.ow what the basin is, rather has been, for it is more proper now to speak of it in the past tense® A few notes relative to what it is expected to be in the future may not be without interest. The dimen- sions of the basin lot are about 300 by 1,000 feet, It will be perceived at a glance there is ample room for many buildings of great capasity. The freight depot will be 50 by 500 feet longand run paralell with the ba- sin bank between Ninth and Eleventh streets. The street bordering on the northern bank will be increased in width ten feet, to accomodate the in- creased traffic caused by the substitu- tion of the railroad for thecanal. The track leading to the passenger depot will run through the centre of the ba- sin. The passinger depot will be lo- cated at its eastern extreamity, near the Gallego Mills, and will be a com- manding looking edifice, about 70 by 150 feet in dimensions, It it will be located the ticketand telegraph oftices, baggage department, ladies’ waiting- rooms, refreshment rooms, etc., all furnished in the best style. Other space within the basin lot will be used for the erection of several car depots, in one of which those used for passen- gers will be kent under cover, London. New York Times, From such English census returns as are at present procurable, it looks a8 if the total population of the United Kingdom would be 34,000,000, of which 25,000,000 are in England, 5,- 000,000 in Ireland, and 4,000,000 in Scotland. From 3,264,000 peo- ple living in Loudon in 1871 the increase in the has been some 17 per cent, or 000 persons, making a total of 3,814, 000, 1In 1801 London had not a mill- ion people, but in 1821 her population was 1,378,000; the refore in sixty years she has increased threefold. The true old London of early time, the nucleus around which this vast community has grown, as the city, Westminster, and Marylebone, have lost population, and the ; true London now only has 51,000 people living in it. Taking London, that vast pro- vinee, built all over with houses, it containg more people than Dublin Liverpool, and Manchester altogether even with the addition of throwing in some of the large Conti- nental cities, Paris, Berlin, and Na- tl“ only excepted. It is questiona- le whether London does not have more people than all Scotland, and quite as many as Holland, with twice as many as all Norway and Denmark. English journals commenting on this fact of f immense population, do not know exactly whether it isor is not to be considered as » subject of congratulation, The question is put with English bluntnes s there any evidence that this increase is po litically dangerous?” There are 30, 000 habitual criminals known as such in London, and how manhy more un- but known no statisties will ever show thero are somo 900,000 res; people willing and able to ko lessness under check. ‘Tt would take six hou to concentrate 50,000 sol diers, marines, and trained police at the London termini, and a de- cent general holding Hampstead and Sydenham with a siege artillory would impose any terms on rebellious London that his government might please. He could make lucifer matches of the great city in twelve hours,” So writes a leading English revicw. But no such dread is felt, becausc it is be lieved that what might be called the surplus population of London leaves it when work is scarce or bread is dear. As London attracts to itself the working peoplo from the prov inces, when they cannot find means of subsistence they quit it. London, then, fills easily, and ‘“‘empties a easily.”” This is the element of se- curity which Paris lacks. The man who comes from Toulouse to Paris comes to stay there; as the Spectator has it: ““He intends: to be fed in Paris,” but if the English artisan comes to London and finds no work he away from it, and finds his bre and cheese elsewhere This is a notable Anglo-Saxon quality, and one to be admired, One factor brought into prominence as accounting for the thronged appearance of London streets is that of the people coming daily to London on business who do not live there at all. In New York some en- deavor has been made to study the question, but figures vary according to the enumerators, Taking the radius of thirty miles around New York, including Brooklyn, the lowest figure given has been 380,000, the highest 50,000. In London the esti- mate is that 1,600,000 people come every day, and go away every night. We should suppose, comparing the ratios of population of London and New York, and remembering how numerous and convenient are our methods of travel, that the daily in- flux of people doing business in New York but not living there there, have been underrated d Help From America. New York Times. We are called upon to help Europe in a new direction. A German Pro- fessor declares that the chief hope of economy and political reform in the Old World States comes from Ameri- ca. In the July International Review Herr von Holst, who came over and wrote our constitutional history, and learned while here something about our resources and the directions of our future growth, discusses ‘‘The Army question in Europe” with the purpose of showing that the expense of armed peace is too greatto be maintained many years longer in the face of American competition. Europe is, at best, heavily handicapped in the race by the inferiority or exhaus- tion of her soil; add to this the direct and indirect cost of her great standing armies, and she is put at such a dis- advantage that, if these conditions continue, she must some time cease to carn her living from year to year and begin to draw upon her accumulated capital for current expenses. This, or the prospect of it,- will alarm her statesmen far more than the theoriz- ing of closet philosophers, but, even before the statesmen are prepared to deal with the situation, the people, who suffer and bear the burdens, may again sYcuk out, as they have several times already spoken, in a way to al- ter materially the politics and policy of more than one European State. The great wealth of Burope is prob- ably too little realized in this country. Neither continued bad times, the mili- tary tax, nor atariff which adds to the cost of living has prevented a steady increase in the saving banks deposits of Germany. Industry has led there. and to a much greaterextent inFrance, to the laying up of petty accumulations which in the aggregate are to the na- tion what a good constitution is to the individual, enabling it to indure with- out great danger trials under which a State not thus fortified would break down. It has been the favorite argu- ment of those economists in Europe who have essayed the role of comfort- ers that this reserve fund would ena- ble England, and Germany, France to bear the strain of American competion until the growth of our pop- ulation should have reached a point where all our productions would be wanted for home consumption. Her voN Howst shows how groundless is this hope. “‘It may not be the case,” says he, ‘‘that wheat, corn, beef, pork, &e., can be produced quite 8o cheaply in the United States as now; but the quantities produced will yet increase enormously, and theconstant improve- ments in the means of transportation will allow of their being sent across the Atlantic much longer than Europe can afford to stick to her old political system with its huge standing armies, And if after all, the competition of the United States with agricultural pro- ducts should becomo less fermidablo, on the other hand their competition with industrial products is already now in séveral respects alapming, and every year adds to the number of arti- cles wlich they can offer us cheaper and better than we can manufacture them. On the single point of improvement | and decreasing cost of transportation much might be said im support of the German professor's argument, Grain is now coming from OChicago to the seabo by rail and water at rates which would have been declared im possible a few years ago, yet means are under discussion for further mate- rially reducing the cost of transporta- tion, and cheaper routes are being opened in other directions. A bushel of grain can be carried to Liverpool on the all-water route by way of Now Orleans from St. Louis for 17 cents, and from St. Paul for 27 cents,against charges of 20 and 456} cents respec- tively, by way of New York. The re- duction in ocean freight rates and the reason of it is forcibly illustrated by the fact that in such steamers as tho Arizona it takes but a fifth of a ton of coal to carry a ton of freight across the Atlantic, while the old Cunarder, Persia, required six tons for the same work, The comparative facts as to armies in the new and old world are that Eu- rope, with & population of 315,000,000 keeps standing armies numbering 3,- and | 215,000 men, whilethe United States, with 50,000,000 inhabitants, has 25, 000 men under arms. Europe has an area of 9,382 887 square kilometros, and the United States 9,272,448 kilo motres. With one-sixth of Europe's population seattered over a country almost equally large, America has, of course, an immense advantage in re spect to surplus products, Our army costs each inhabitant of the United States 81 annually; Europe's armiei impose a tax of &1.77 upon each su habitant. But the army system there withdraws one per cent. of the able- bodied male population from produc tive labor, while our Corporal’s guard of 25,000 men is but one-twentieth of one per cent. of our population. This makes the disparity of cost much greater than it seems. Europe, too, 18 sending us half a million emigrants bring of them nearly all overy y Many of money with them, and them are adults whoso rearing been a charge upon the country their nativity. Thoso full grown men and women are like stock upon a farm and they cost us nothing. The loss to Europe in enugration alone is put at 8365,000,000 annually, It ts evi- dent that something must bo done to restore the economical equilibrium botwoeen the two countries. Her von Holst thinks this will be accomplished by cutting down the cost of the armies. He does not hope for anything like a general disarangement, and oven in- clines to count von Moltke's idea that military discipline 18 nocessary to cul- tivate “‘the most noble virtues of man.” But he suggests that the drill- ing of soldiers must begin in the schools, The boys must be drilled, and the schools become the nurseries of the armios. By this means the time of service with the colors could be reduced from three to two, or por- haps to one. These dotails are * for the Europeans to settle in their own way. The fact which chiefly concerns us is that if Herr von Holst is right, American competion, instead of being an evil, is the greatest ' blossings we possibly confer on our neighbors across the water. = ‘Walnut Timber. Burlington Hawkoye, Tt is safe to predict that there is one tree which the Towa woodman will hereafter spare. It is the walnut which is becoming so valuable that it now forms an article of export to Europe It has become quite scarce, and manufacturers are seriously troubled in consequence. Before the value of walnut as an article of com- merce had been fully appreciated, and when the supply for any purpose seemed well-nigh exhaustible, great quantities were needlessly destroyed. Whole acres were burned in clearing lands, and the farmers, recognizing the strength and durability of the wood, fashioned it into hog-troughs, or made fence-rails or fence-posts, and used it for the most common purposes about the farm. But the de- mand for walnut became so great that its uses for such purposes soon ceased, and as its value became better known and constantly increasing quantiti were used each year in the manufac- ture of various aaticles, serious inroads were made upon the walnut forests, and an article the supply of which was considered ]rl‘uuucul{y inexhausti- ble a few years since is now eagerly sought for. Manufacturers having large stocks consumed them quickly without thinking of the possibility of a decrease in production, and now find themselves meagerly supplied with an almost indispensable article and with prices constantly advancing, Indiana which has for years been the principal source of supply is now al- most stripped of desirable lumber, and the same is true of Canada West, There are, however, considerable tracts of walnut timber land in the southwestern states, and there the fu- ture supply is to be obtained. The chief state in which walnut lumbering operations will be carried on is Ar- kansas, To translate from apamphlet mtended for circulation among man immigrants, this state is Virgin forest land, not only because this book claims it, but because it is 80, and indeed in upper Arkansas the forest approaches perfection itself,” Dense forests cover the country, and it is especially rich in walnut, and as the rivers are numerous the driving of the logs is rendered easy. The capa- bilities of Arkansas in this direction are just being recognized, and prepa- rations are being actively made to de- yelop this source of wealth. Anorder for 10,000,000 feet of walnut was placed last year by a Bridgeport, Con- necticlit, sewing machine firm, and several extensive orders have been re- ceived from England.
