afternoon ride with his estimable lady and
q female friend, was brought up by the
gate upon the Columbia turnpike, on the
opposite side of the Potomac. His coach
man searched his pockets in vain for the
requisite shilling. The President searched
his, and the ladies also searched theirs.
But, alas, not a solitary shilling had they
among them! The toll-gatherer, who is
at times annoyed by the pranks of " fast"
folks passing his gate on the way to the
ttrotting course, without " holding up to
pay toll, began to think of closing the bar
upon the carriage, when the driver in
formed him that the gentleman inside was
the President of the United States, and
the gentleman inside made it all right by
promising to pay the shilling when next
he should venture to ride on the Virginia
side. Barnum will give double its weight
in gold for that identical shilling, when
paid.

The rumor of the loss of the steamer
Baltimore with the large party of Wash
ington excursionists who left us on Sat-
urday evening last, which pervaded the
city yesterday, is believed to have origi-
mated from the fact that she was known to
have been much over-crowded. The blow
of Sunday evening suggested to all the
peril of her situation if she was ''out' in
it, her decks being literally crammed with
persons unaccustomed to being on the
water under perilous circumstances
Had she been caught in the hurricane,
the rush of her frightened freight to leward
might have rendered her trimming boxes
of no avail. Fortunately, however, she
was safely fastened to the wharf at Old
Point during the blow.
Since the above was written, the Balti-
more has arrived.

The CITY Reform Committee of New
York Ia large body of the most eminent
men of both nnIiticai narfieS in that 49,
tropolis, under whose auspices the great
work of commencing to reform their mu-
nicipal affairs was recently carried out
at the polls by majority of some $4,000
votes have published an address, urging
their fellow citizens to follow up the
work, by the future election to city offices
only of men whose antecedents embrace
proper guarantees of their trustiness. 1t
is not to be doubted that this committee
is at this moment the most powerful Or
ganization in New York and as they are
acting with entire unanimity, their re-
commentator, which involves advice to
bolt party nominations when unworthy
men may be put up for office, will sadly
disarrange the schemes of political wire
pullers. Of late years the direction of
party affairs Of both the parties in that
city have fallen into the hands of per-
sons in many cases VIGOROUSLY without
character, who bend their efforts only
to the task of profting themselves, with
out thought Of the public interest.
The reform committee promise to point
out every such individual as he may NOM
mate hereafter for place. They will
doubtless do much good for some time.
Yet there is no telling how long It will
be before the very class of demagogues at
whom they strike, shall obtain the control
Of their own organization. So long as ir-
responsible power may be lodged in the
hands of office-holders. and while men
who by their character, attainments,
mind and interests are best qualified to
lead in public affairs hesitate to encoun-
ter rowdy bullies before the people, we
fear that no such body of public spirited
citizens as this New York committee will
be able to work permanent municipal re-
forms in that community.

Assistant Surgeon James R. Conrad
was dropped from the rolls of the army
on the 28th ult. We hear incidentally
that the general order" to this effect is
the result of his long failure to obey
orders. In the battle of Monterey, DR.:
G. became SO excited as subsequently to
unfit him entirely for active duty. Up
to that time h0 desrrvediy ranked DIS one
of the most efficient medical officers in
the service. In order to restore his mind
to its former equanimity, he has been for
a year or two under the treatment of dis
tinguished physicians at the North, who
pronounced him cured. However, from
the date Of the battle of Monterey to this
time he has done no active duty; failing,
we hear, to obey orders or to account ac-
cording to the rules of the service for so
doing: His refusal or failure to report
himself has of course prevented the De-
partnent from reaching his case in any
other way than by thus dropping his
name from the rolls. We feel assured
that this action has been resorted to very
reluctantly: the wish of the whole service
being that he should have afforded the
Secretary an opportunity to have inva-
lided him.
His brother officers seem to attribute
his repugnance to obeying orders wholly
to nervous excitement, originating at the
battle of Monterey, as before remarked;
where he gained great credit by display
ing unsurpassed courage and professional
skill, and undergoing labors which were
SO intense as thus to break down his
constitution. The doctor, who is cousin
of the late Secretary Conrad, resides at
Winchester, Va, and is gentleman of
fortune.
