A NEW DODGE OF THE SHARPERs-Within
few days several of our best citizens have
been M made to pay good money for bad BY order
to have received such bad money from them.
In some cases the possibility that the money
was passed by the accused was admitted, and
all they required was the oath of the accusers
that It was so, and they gave good money for
the bad. In other cases, Notwithstanding the
oaths OF aceusers, the accused were positive
that they had never seen the counterfeit money,
but were obliged to satisfy the demands There
is a strong suspicion that u number of sharps
are now practieing this dodge, finding the ordi-
nary mode of snoring off their counterfeits dan
gerous and Improbable in Washington. A little
caution in dealing with strangers would prob.
ably expose some of the sharps, and put an end
to this game. We recommend business men to
give especial attention TO the matter, and aid
the police in ferreting out the scamps.

FAST RIDING.-Quite a number of officers
and soldiers continue 10 defy the o der against
:st riding, especially when off the avenue by
galloping through the streets at a pace endan-
.ering the lives OF pedestrians. 1t can hardly
be expected that the police alone can stop this
racing, when daily it Is practiced in nearly all
the streets, and frequently the riders, who gen :
orally are armed, if an attempt is made to stop
them, draw their pistols and threaten to fire
This was the case yesterday morning when an
ofheer attempted TO stop two cavalrymen from
racing on New York avenue, near Sixth street.
We would suggest that in addition to mounted
guards on the avenue that others be stationed
on the principal streets throughout the CITY
