IsseLrsr NEcao.-Mary, q free negro. va

IsseLENT NEcRo.-Mary, free negro, was
arraigned in tho Mayors Court yesterday,
charged with using in.olen language to Miss
Sue Watkins.
Miss Watkins keepsa boarding house on
Leigh street, between 9Th aul It'll and the
n gro is employed by gentleman named
Bbb, as nurse for his little child, about
three years old.
Miss Watkins testified tina. last Thursday
morning she was sweeping her passage her
house servant being sick, and this negro came
down and inquired why she had ordered her
dining room servant not to give her her break
fast She replied, she had given no. such or
der The negro gave her very insolent res
ply, and she struck her with the broom which
She had in her hand. Tho negro then raised
chair and threatened to kill hor. Miss ".
replied, ''no you won't t" The girl then put tho
chair down, and gave Miss W. shove, knock.
ing her down on the steps. Mr.. Bibb, tho
gentleman who hires the servant, was absent
at the timo, and Mrs. Bibb was sick in her
room.
Cross examined By Mr.. Crane-I do not
undertake to say that Mrs Bibb did not henri
everything that passed. o. one occasion
complained of the negroes stopping the steps
up when carrying water to the rooms. | told
four of them that the next morning they slop-
ped the steps up, would not give them their
breakfast. had not given the dining rom
servant any orders on that morning in regard
to her breakfast. I did not strike her until
after she had called me a good for nothing
thing $500
Several witnrssts were introduced; who tes.
tilted to,the usual good character Of the me-
gro.
- Mr. bseid frs.iI.sta :ss.,,.;s-
employ for some time ue never knew her
to. be insolent to any one. Mrs. :BibbS wns
very sick and could not possibly appear She.
heard good dealof the conversation; between.
Miss Watkins and the negro.
Mr.. Crane said he.would like to have the
matter laid over. Airs. Bibb was an imror,
tant witness, and was now too sick to appear.
In answer to the question Of the Mayor, he
replied that he wanted to prove by Mira. B.
that the negro was very respectful to Miss
Watkins, and that she struck her without pro-
vocation. The negro had child in her arms Mt
the time Of the occurrence, and he did not think
that Miss Watkins should, under those cir
cumstanccs, have attacked the girl
Mr.. Bibb said that ho was tired Of the case,
and was perfectly willing that tho Mayor
should decide it Mt once
Mayor.-Eery good. shall order her %

gfTY IRTELLIGENeE,


Cry Council A called meeting Of the
Council'was held yesterday at 1o o'clock
MIR. Stokes from the committee to whom
wGs referred n communication from the Rich.
mond "Blues" and "Grays," asking aid to
enable those com panies to purchase overcoats,
blankets &c., made report recommending
that the sum Of - thousand dollars be ep,
propriated for the purchase Of clothing, shoes,
blankets, &c., to be distributed among the
military companies from this city, and that
FIVE membcra of the Council be appointed to
carry out the provisions of this report.
On motion CT Mr.. Clopton, the blank in the
report was filed by the insertion of $50, 900.
The following committee WIS then appoint
Messrs. Stokes, Clopton, Crutchfeld, Griffin
and Scott.
Mr. Stokes offered the following, which was
adopted:
Resolved, That the committee on supply.
ing our soldiers with clothing, blankets, Sc,
be instructed to supply, in the same proror-
ton, any soldier who is o resident Of the city,
and who is in the service"
Mr.. Scott called the attention Of the Coun-
Gil to the fact IT, at the alarm bells Of tho city
were, as general thing, never rung until a
fire had broken out and nearly consumed
whole buildings. He would cite one instance
which occurred the other day: The fire en-
CINE had arrived on the ground and been plays
ing on the fire full half en- hour before tho
alarm was sounded by the bell. He therefore
moved that two members Of the city police ke
selected, whose dutyit should Sc to see that
the alarms we're properly sAhnded.
L Mr.. ill contended that; the palice3 nvaeEwas
too small, and two mon GOULD not be
spared for that purpose. lie had repeatedly
urged the Importance Of am increase of the
police force, and he hoped it would now be
done. A resolution to that effect was offered
last October and voted down.
Mr.. Clopton moved that the vote by which
that resolution was rejected he reconsidered,
which was agreed to.
: The resolution was thon read. II provide,
for the increase Of the day police from j to
II.
Mr.. Hill moved that 13-be inserted in lieu
of II, which was agreed to.
Mr.. Saunders objected to any increase of the
police The Council had already expended
too much money. lie did not believe VIC
would be any better OFT with Is day police
men than we were with IL. Every police Off
Ger was in attendance on tho Mayors Court
every morning from 10 till II o'clock. lie
could not see the use Of this. 1IH did not
think tho ,morahers of the Council knew the ex
act condition ofthe city treasury. We already
owe the bank 100000, and have out $500, 900
worth of one dollar notes, which arc coming in
quite freely now. He thought the increase
Of the police entirely unnecessary.
Mr.. Hill argued in favor of the increase.
Mr.. Crutch6eld objected. lie did not think
it was necessary.
Mr.. Scott urged tho adoption Of resolu-
ton, as also did Mr.. Glazebrook.
The question being rallied, the vote was
taken, and rcsulted-ayes I, noes . so tho
resolution was adopted.
After the transaction Of some other unim-
portant business, the Council adjourned.

TIE BEEF CASE AGaIE-John Jaiser and
Early Corbin were again,before the Mayor, yes
terday, charged with buying beef in the city, to
sell again in the second Market
This is an old case, in which the Mayor con-
fscated the beef, and fined the parties, and the
next day reversed his opinion BECAUSE the ordi.
nance gave the informant half of the goods con-
fscated, and, therefore, he (the informant) was
not y competent witness. Some mention having
been made of Mr.. Tyler, who was the informant,
having sold the beef alta reduced price, and pur-
chased it himself, he (T.) desired q new trial =
Hence the resurrection of the case.
Mr.. Crane questioned the right Of the Mayor
to reopen case after ie had rendered dc.
cision.
Mr. Tyler said he desired now trial simply
that he might set himself right before the pub
lie He had asked the Council TO repeal that
portion of the ordinance giving tho informant
half the conGscated property.
Mr. Crane did not desire TO hear any argument
in the case. He wouldn't give pinch of snuff
for Dir. Daniels opinion, unless he eanle here
with his law books and argued the matter. lie
only wanted to know whether the cas- Q was to be
re- opened.
The Mayor responded that he did not know
whether he had the authority to do so, and wouli
be obliged 10 the eommonwealth's Attorney ii
ifhe would come hero and shew him whether he
had such authority. Thccase MAS cont inued till
next Tuesday. :
