by that young and gallant company Of yours, the
National Rifles, accompanied by the Marine
Band, whose beautiful music enliyened our quiet
streets. The Rifles created decided fufOrs, and
when they went through their beautiful and diff
fcult drill, they were hailed with repeated APP
Planse from the large crowd assembled to witness
their maneuvers. One thing, the performance of

county, the Seventh Regiment and Chicago
Lomayes not excepted. II is rumofed that they
Will drill against the latter company during their
approaching visit TO your city. Should they do
so, they will prove themselves foemen worthy of
the celebrated Zouaves, and will do much to
heighten the reputation Of the District military
abroad. Much regret has been expressed that so
few knew Of their intended visit. Had il been
more generally known, a much greater crowd
would have greeted them. There are strong
hopes, however that they will again soon favor
us with drill by aylight, when we can behold

Will receive hearty welcome from each and
every citizen Of Georgetown. WAC.

HOUSE OF CoRREcTIoN-The necessity for
such an institution has been frequently mentioned
In the Star, and at various times the subject has
attracted much attention In the proper places.
But as vet no positive steps have been taken for
the establishment of such an institution for the
Instruction and correction of young children, old
enough to be dangerous, but too young TO punish
with the full force Of the law; and consequently
the hearts of parents are torn when the necessity
OF such refuge continues to be presented by the
frequent arrests of young children. Yesterday, a
lad thirteen years old was arrested for stealing
He was so ragged and dirty that his story of
poverty and orphanage excited the sympathy of
those around. But his story was false made up
for the occasion. Hundreds of dollars had been
spent upon him, but to no purpose. He was sent
to the workhouse as a vagrant bv request OF his
guardian, who intends shipping him IL possible.
Row AT THE ToURNAMENr.-we under
SDrinU
Yesterday was disturbed by party creating a
fight, in which quite number Of persons en-
gagged. We have not ascertained the number and
names Of the combatants but regret that our in
formation connects several of Mayor Berrets
police the ''well-drilled, ;" with the row, not a,
the preservers Of the peace but as pdrticeps cyiy
ms. Ii was said that two of the police Were ar
rested but let CO. and that seven more Were at the
night. Our police force must be extensive when
seven can be spared to go out of the city into an
adjoining State, even If they were detailed for
duty, which, however, they could not legally
perform in that county II they went there as
Officers and got into hght, they ought 10 be pun
lshed by the State of Virginia, and dismissed by
the Mayor. We wonder whether this matter will
be Investigated by the proper authorities
CRIMINAL CoURT.-Yesterday. Asburv Scriv.

Geo.W Bray convicted Of renting a house for
purposes OF bawdry, was sentenced to pay a fine of

To-day, the Court took up the case Of the United
States agt. Joseph Rivers, in which the defendant
was charged with stealing three rings valued at
81 each, one watch valued at 81. and one watch
valued at $50. from Mr. Herr Hoffa
This case was pending when our report closed
Mr. EDITOR: May inquire through your paper
why the dirt and rubbish on + street between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth, is allowed to remain
street left In a miserable condition In the
middle Of the street from Fourteenth to Fifteenth
streets is pile Of dirt and stones which greatly
annoys the property holders and Others NoI,;
why was not the place repaired before the work,
men went away? II the Mayor would make This
thing matter of his notice, and have IL attended
To- ne would be doing great favor to many.
