We learn that the famous Madame CARO-
LINE and her celebrated troupe of equestrians
will commence series of exhibitions in this
city, at National Hall, on Monday evening
next. Their performances are probably far
superior to any thing Of the kind which
our citizens have ever before witnessed.
At Philadelphia and Baltimore they have at
tracted succession of crowded and fashionable
houses, and have been received with universal
appreciation. Arrangements will be made by
the proprietors of National Hall to prevent the
admission of any disordery or improper per-
sons, and to insure, in every respect, the com
fort of the spectators Nothing will be ad-
United in the performances which would offend
the most fastidious. The entertainments are
such as may be witnessed with pleasure by all
classes; and we hope to see them very gene
rally attended.

We learn that preparations are beginning tc
be made for conducting the canvass in the fif
teenth Congressional district of Virginia. 1t is
said that GEORGE w. THOMPSON will be q
candidate in opposition to Col Thomas 5
HAYMoNp, the present member. Mr. Hay
MoND has not, as yet, formally announced him
self as candidate for re election, but it seems
to be generally understood by the people of the
district that he will be run. In this district Of
Virginia, when party lines are closely drawn,
we are informed there is a Democratic majority
of seven hundred; but it is believed that, in
view OF the bold stand which Mr.. RAYMOND
took in favor Of the late compromise measures,
and his resolute efforts for the preservation OF
the Union, he will receive very liberal sup
port, and probably be reelected

SINGULAR CoNcIDEScE.-The newspapers yes
tcrday announced the death of Col. Kenderton
Smith, public spirited citizen, whose life was
fully employed, and who was generally esteemed
by his friends and acquaintance. II was only n
week or two back that Col Smith, who into
rested in Congress passing the bill Of indemnity for
French spoliations previous to 1900, in conversa-
ton in this Office remarked, at that time appearing
in good health that toe measure ought to have been
passed years ago. 60 We have been waiting" he
said, "ior years for justice, and Congress ought
either to pass the bill or reject it. All Of us who
have claims ioiA be dead before it will ever be
passed" There is something almost prophetic in
these words. Yesterday the death Of Col. Smith
was announced, and Congress yesterday was to
do not mention whether they did any thing with
the bill or not. Phiind. Ledger

SEIZURE OF STEAMER GEORGIA. learn from
the Norfolk Argus that the steamer Georgia, Capt.
Cannon, carrying the United States mail, was
taken possession of on Saturday, by officer of
the revenue, upon the alleged ground of taking on
board, in Hampton Roads, small lot of tropical
fruits from the ship James Corner, of Baltimore,
recently arrived from Madeira. The fruits were
claimed by the captain of the ship as his stores,
and from all the -Argus can learn there was no in
tention the part of any Of the parties concerned
to defraud the customs. The Georgia was permit
ted to proceed with the mail to Baltimore in the
evening, upon the assurance Of the agent of the
Bay Line Company that she should be forthcoming
TO meet the requisition Of the Government-the
collector sending a custom house officer in charge
of her.
The collector of the port has published state
ment, in which he says:
"The Georgia seized for violation of the
2Sth section of the act of the I'd of March, 1899,
in taking from the ship James Corner, from Ca
diz, lying in Hampton Roads, Malaga grapes
and prunes, belonging to merchant i'll Balti-
more, (and not sea stores, as erroneously stated
in the Argus,) and Marshal Wing despatch
ed the same, and not the next day, stated in
the BeacOn, to serve process upon the captain
for this violation of the law: in landing the bag
gage of his passengers without permit inspec-
ton, and for failing to report and enter his vessel
and not, as stated, to seize his ship

TAX ON NEGRO SELLERs.-There is proposition
before the City Council of Richmond, Virginia, to
lay heavy taxes on those who are engaged in the
sale Of negroes The ostensible object is to increase
the city revenues; but the opinion is expressed that
the taxes which it is in contemplation impose
so large that the trade will be driven away from
that market. The present income of Richmond
from the business of buying and selling slaves is
cstimat ed to be s 10 900 per year.
