FRIDAY APRIL 4, 18:0, fFor the Dispatch.] ? Annexation of Aanehci(?r. Cities want population, and at Rich 1non<Ps present growth sbe wants It greatei than perhaps at anv other time. A few hundreds of people do not make a city, and as cities have competing interests they ar< aided by large population, wbieb secure productive capacity and commercial energy, "A large city creates for Itself a cheap mar ket, bccause large consumers can always buy cheapest. .London attracts the pro ducts of the world, because a considerable quantity of everything the world Droduce? Is either consumed there or finds -from thai great mart arteries of distribution, at cheap est rates of carriage or freight, to otbei points of consumption. Commercial and political power and influence of a city i.< mainly to be measured by its population Natural advantages of location a* to naviga tion and health must be takerf into the cal culation ; but population is indispensable A greatly populous city will overcome ever natural disadvantages in developing ite ca pacity for production and wealth. Ever wealth will not answer for a citv without population. The bone and muscieof pop. illation are really thfe true wealth of a cliv, It is their continued capacity of duplicating productions and manufactures that secure the wealth and power or a city. Without population ?'money" wealth is inefficient, and shrinks into a state of uselessnes*. Then, if these views are true, why should not Richmond avail herself of whatever op port unity is afforded her to increase hei population ? It may be said for tbe reason* *borc cited, sbe has practically tbe advan tages of the population of Manchester as il is; and this is to some extent true. The lifies of commercial and industrial dis association of Manchester from Riebmonc arc to a great extent imperceptible to th< world, and the influence of Manchester*} population is practically added to Richmonc in her business status, because of tbe prox iraity of Manchester and ow ing to the fuel the greater absorbs tbe less. This fret alon< makes it to tbe interest of Richmond? ij oven no other existed? to care for, promote and every way secure for that city tbe bes possible conditions of prosperity with her self; for being practically a part of Rich mond. how can she act wisely unless sh< secure the health, energy, and comfort o every one of her members, Manchester beinj in truth one. Wc may imagine Mancbotei a separate community, that is all ; for. Tor al the interests that encourage population or i city, Manchester (in pioportion tohernum bers) is as necessary 10 Richmond as hers i< to herself. Mere territory is not a questioi of importance generally; but in this the annexation of Manchester to Richmon< becomes a mailer of vast utility, as serving to settle conflicljng interests of the ripariar rights of the two cities. The question we have undertaken to dis cuss is one or great importance to Rich mond as well as Manchester; and white u 1; deserving and susceptibie of a comprehen sive treatise, for pract.cal purpo>es at this time we must confine our remarks to a few prominent considerations. The writer is ? considerable tax-payer in the city of KMch jnond, and is neither a bondholder or land owner of Manchester, and he mentions this becau-e people are too apt 10 look al the dollars and cents tli^t appear to be involved in such a proposition as annexation, since it is usually esteemed of great advantage to marry wealth. And while wc shall under take to show that even as a money trans action Richmond would gain bv the union wc shall continue the line of our remarks as tending to show the general relations and interest* of population. The necessities of a city are great, and that " necessity is the mother of invention " lias grown into au adage. The great wants of a vast metropolis (not only neccssarv wants, but also those of a social and even sumptuous character) compel industry and inspire competition. Necessity lashe* even the indolent intoa quickened pace; and the results of the greatest possible production of a city is owing largely to the impending necessities of its people, and to their emu" Jatiou in the enjoyments of social life from being brought into intimate relations aufl contact. Hesides this, the necessary cost of main taining a city government, under the best social conditions of population, arc les sened proportionately as the numbers are increased; and thus the result of the an nexation of Manchester would be the means of some proportionately les> expense of our city government to each or us from the ope ration of enlarging our population by the addition of the population of Manchester to our? , and just, so Manchester would be "benefited too. We do not desire to ma" nify results, but it our premises are right some beneficial cfi'eet is in this wav inevita ble? little or much, it is beyond ques tion true ? and as it is to continue for all time. it. becomes a matter of wonder ful import. For, like compounding of in terest on money, it magnifies its dimension amazingly, and should not be disregarded, though appearing of little moment just now! The people of Manchester are a fair average population, compared with any community, and would not cost Richmond as much to govern them? as part of herself? as ihev now do Manchester, for the reason just cited. Manchester's people have undertaken 7tnprovemenis, and grading of their street5 that have subjected tliem to hardships to' meet their tuxes, nud thus they have been forced to practice economy arid industry, that only the heifer qualifies them for Use ful citizens of Richmond. These expendi tures arc not lost, for they will in time be of great advantage, and are but pari of a work that would ultimately be needed, and must wv tit IVIJf, vut II |/M4 V VI VMV JJVUVIMI VJC?VUJ of grading of Richmond. These views would indeed appear useless it we would but cousider the uniform ten dency oi cities to absorb their suburban populations and the necessity to absorb that portion of them that arc located on oppo site banks of a river aie but the more obvi ous. First, because population begins on tbe margin of navigation, and can onJy ex tend back from the stream or tip and down it, ho that its centre cannot be a focus, while population, for reason* of economy al least should have a centre at its greatest poinl of commerce and navigation. Secondly, be cause the interests of- navigation and ship ping and control of water-power and water supply should be under one government. Such is tbe condition of all tiie great cities o! . tbe world, whatever was their beginning London city, within tbe Roman walls, had t population pi between 55,000 and 60.000: the old city without the Roman wails be tween 70,000 and 75,000. But that city La: now swallowed up many cities, towns, vil lages, and separate jurisdictions ou botl sides of the river Thames. Four com 09 on wealths or kingdoms of the Mid die Saxons, East Saxons, the Soutl Rick, and of tbe Kentwsras, once rule< over its surface. JSow il's population ii perhaps over two and a half millions, ant rtAimtv Dnr) nifp a Ul LSI UVl a lUV \ ['irvvjim \ u,? v London, the episcopal city of Westminstej the boroughs of Soutliwuk and Greenwicl the towns of Woolwich, Deptford, an Wadswortb ; the watering-places of Hamp htead, HIgbgate, Isliuirton, Acton, Kilburu the iisbuie-tovvu of Barking, the onoe*>e eluded and ancient villages of llum, Horn sey, Sydenham, Lee, Kensington, Pulbam Lambert, Clupbam, l'addinfeton, Hackney Chelsea, Stoke Newinjiton, JS'ewing^ot Butts Plumstead, and others; the Towei and Tower hamlet*, Hospital of St. Catba rine's, aud the Lordship of the Dutch? ol Lancaster, in Westminster. Thus. we bav< specified London because it is one of the . oldest cities and furnishes a striking illus tration of the necessary tendency to at> sorption as an almost univeraul rule. Phil adelphia could not get along till &bje absorbed berpuburban cities, which indeed bad become great populations, and involved in continual conflicts jof jurisdJertoDl A1. ^B^our miods it is caj*y to see oow (be . statesman should regard this principle of absorption, and it is to encourage it rather tbun repel ft. Certainly it is best to under take early to bhape the progress of popula tion and direct the sinew; of industry than let them rue wild. It is best at ouce to set tie all questions of conflicting jurisdiction and au'hority j for time will sooner or later develop serious dltflcnUfei ot ibe kihd, where wo have, we may say, a common port and a narrow stream and great waterfall to be divided between us, wtrfle tbe one city will require much the larger share of it. Tbo rate of tax fn Manchester; is 2$ per cent, Now, this gives tbe place a forbid ding tvpect, but wbec it la considered that tbe valuation of Its property is mticb too low it can be better understood. ?

Besides, we should consider, a value of 828<">,000 of milling property is not t-jxed at all. Her interest in the Free bridge, her river fiont. canal, riparian rights, taxable property of $1,050,000, and many other ad vantages, it would seem that tiny one could assume Manchester's indebtedness of ?277, 700 to advantage. The debt of Manchester is as follows : The old debt known as tbe Jacqueline Taylor de'jt $ 50.000 Free-bridge b.>nd? 92.000 ( ?ther bonded debt 1 08.700 ' Floati.ig debt 27,000 Total $277,700 No doubt. Manchester would be contented with such expenditures in her behalf as her own taxes would justify, and as she could certainly ask no more for tbe present (allow ing for the interest on her debt), it follows that this is an opportune occasion for the annexation. Certainly it must take place some day or other, and possibly after much conflict of interests and expense to both sides. Manchester would soon share with us iu making our'burdeti9 lighter. It is upon this principle that we arc inviting im migration into every section of the State? to bclp u.s to pay otf our State indebted-il ncss? and the priuciplc applies to the city 1 as well/ ? C.
