Resisting the PoIice.-If the following section
of an ordinance concerning the police were
rigidly enforced, the officers would have less
trouble in making arrests, and i'll obtaini &
assistance when needed. We invite especial
attention to it:
- If any person shall resist any police officer or
night watetmau in the dIsct arge of his duty he
shall If free white person, pay fine of not less
than $40, nor more thanz& 20, and if a negro bond
o free, shall be punished by stripes. not exceed
Ing thirty nine. And If any free white person
shall fail refuse to aid or assist police officer
or night watchman, when called upon so to do hy
such officer watchman when in the discharge oi
his duty. he shall he fined not less than SIS, nor
more than S2O.''
Thus it will be seen the provisions of the
ordinance are imperative, and the violator
when brought before the Mayor, must be fined
or punished.

Surface Drainage is very Objectionable in a
city like Richmond, because of the foul matter
that must pass off in the cutters from lots that
have no sewers. Scarcely day passes that
the Mayor and his officers are not complained
to about this annoyance, and yet they have no
means of preventing it. Every family must
water, and that waste must be got rid of by
some means. To keep il in the lots is but to
sow the seeds of disease. To empty il into the
streets, is TO place nuisance under the nose
ofeyery person who passes by the gutter into
which it has been ptied. The only remedy
is, for the city to build public culverts, and
compel property holders to connect their
premises with them by means of private sew

Changing Loeations-The Hastings Court Is
very much annoyed with the continual appli-
cation of free negroes from adjoining coun-
ties, to be registered in Richmond, and in some
instances the applications are granted. Many
of the persons of color who come here soon
become intemperate and worthless, and all OF
them would be better off il forced to remain
where they were raised, than If turned loose
in the city TO live as best they can. Free ne
groes, in many instances, are injurious TO
slaves; and as slaves, in large numbers, are
necessary here, the fewer free ones 10 whom the
privilege Of registering is granted, the better
it will be for the community. Let them stay
in the country where labor Is abundant, or go
to some free State where there are no slaves TO
cOrrupt.

SALE OF BURToN's WARDRoBE-Tbe sale Of

bargains, in case she might ever have another
Toodles. Lot 6, 'Bottom,' ass's head and all,
only realized four dollars, and was obtained
by Mr. Lingard. "Aminadab Sleek" No. -,
caused some sharp bidding, and was finally
knocked down to Mr.. J. Wilson for seven dol
lars and quarter. Mr.. Fox purchased Toby

that had caused roars of laughter with his

Mr.. Phillips for only one dollar The best
sale effected was that of the Greek costume
formerly the property of Lord Byron, who
purchased it in Greece a short time before his
lordship's death. This was certainly a fine
costume and realized fourteen and half dol
lars. The quality of the material of which
many of the costumes were composed was O!

Free Trade-Finding thai all efforts TO pre-
vent huckstering have proved abortiye, aud
only increased the prices of the necessaries OF
life some of our Councilmen have come to the
conclusion that the better plan would be TO
remove all restrictions, and let traders buy
and sell as they please. They conclude
that the demand will regulate the priees-that
sell what they have by retail than 10 dispose
Of it to traders-and that the competition
would so increase that prices would he fair
for buyer and seller. Any change that would
induce the producers to retail what they have,
would be advantageous 10 the public.

DANGER IN WEARING ARTIFICIAL TEETH
Several accidents have recently occurred in
Boston from artificial teeth which were set
upon plates. During the inhalation of ether
or chloroform, in order 10 produce insensi-
bility for the performance of some surgical
operation, false teeth have dropped from the
plate and been partially swallowed, remain

wearing plate, therefore, should always be
careful TO remove them before breathing any

dies especially, that their physician will ask
them II their teeth are artificial.

CONFESSION OF A MURDERER.-Hicks,t the
murderer of the crew of the sloop +. A. john
son, is TO be executed at New York to-day
He has made confession, of which the Ex-
press says:
He gives full details of his participation in
nearly one hundred murders. The Pacific
Coast of Mexico. California and South Amer
lea, appears 10 have been the principal theatres
of his crime, and there he has been engaged
alone, or with others, in robbng and murder
ing simply for plunder. Being excessively
avaricous, the love of money seems to have
been the overmastering passion, and TO obtain
which, he has always been ready TO resort TO
the most desperate means. Trains of mules,
richly laden, and proc eding from the mines
of Mexico towards the coast towns, he has
waylaid and robbed, killing the mulateers and
others who were in charge. He was in the
Mexican war, and relates many desperate ad-
ventures in that country. He also certifles to
having had a hand in the Slave trade, and re-
latss case where his vessel was chased by a
British cruiser, when, in order 10 escape the
consequences OF a capture with slaves On
board, the unhappy creatures were all got up
from below, ranged in the waist of the vessel
their feet secured to the ships chain, which
with the anchor, was then let go by the run
and the whole let go 10 the bottom of The
ocean.
