.ubu,it that this is a mi.c.lcul,,;on. +

submit that this Is a miscslculstion. BY
the census Of 1860 the population Of Rich
mond was 1870; or, whites 1885, FREQ
negroes 1876, slaves 1859. We think it
almost impossible that the city could have
gained 2i,072 in population in the brief
space Of six years. According to thst
census the population Of the city and
county combined was only 81 ,6l6, which is
366 less than the Directory now makes that
of the city alone. We do not mention
these facts 10 impair the usefulness OF the
work alluded to, because it contains much
valuable information. :.
In closing this hastily prepared compila-
ton we will give the number of charches

A REMINIsCENCE.-Ma years ago, be-
fore "big Richmond" had discarded lss
juvenile garments, there existed on Gam
blc'S Hill somewhat famous well, which
in course of time was abandoned and
covered over with rails. About the year
1884, "there or thereabouts," certain
Captain Partridge, a West Point graduate,
came tO this city, and holiday military,
paradcs being then quite popular, he was
applied to by'a company of young gentle
men to initiate them into the mysteries Of
artillery exercise. He consented on tho
condition that they would provide guns,
horses, and suitable equipments. Accord
ingly, two mounted pieces were procured,
the horses attached, and one fine afternoon
the company went out on Candles Hill,
and the drill commenced. For time all
went on smoothly enough. The young ar
tillerists were making rapid progress in the
art Of war, and Captain Partridge, with
head erect, gave his orders like one born
to command. Finally, the company got
into marching order, and were proudly
traversing the field, when suddenly two Of
the horses sank into the bowels Of the
earth, and disappeared from view. Quite
naturally, this remarkable circumstance
occasioned some CONSERVATION among tho
amateur soldiers; but OH locking into the
pit they discovered their war stecds strug-
Cling at the bottom OF the well aforesaid,
where, sad TO relate, they ingloriousiy per-
ished, and the corps was dismissed for tho
day. yf.in.j b. ig,iI.g ssa' i,'y lia
We have mentioned this event because
some of our old citizens have informed Us
that the well was located exactly In the
line Of the tunnel now being excayated Tor
the railway connection and they account
for the discovery Of bark some twenty-five
feet below the surface upon tho hypothesis
that it was deposited there by the falling Of
the rails which covered the well. The 81.
perintendents Of the work, however, tfdi-
Guile this idea, and say that It Is impossible,
from the nature Of the soil, thA, thcrs
could ever have been, Q well or other exca-
vation there. Qse thing Is certain: no
bones of the unfortunate horses have yet
been found. l- -. t".''s p

The ALNs-HorsE.-The city alms-house
now contains eighty-four inmates, of whom
twenty-five are males, forty -iour females,
and eighteen children. The perfect system
by which it is conducted renders the place
well worth q visit. Captain Charles r.
Bigger, tho superintendent, has made pro-
vision for the employment and even the
education of those under his charge. On
the lower floor is a schoo.roOm, in which
the children who are old enough are taught
by one of the inmates. On the same fiOOr
is nursery, where the younger children
are taken care Of. The building is divided
into two departments-one for the males,
and the other for the females. Each IN
mate has his or her number, and their
beds and clothcs-rack have a corresponding
number. Their seats at table in the dining
room, which is in the basement, have cor
responding numbers and this prevents
any confusion. The cooking, washing, and
nearly all the other duties Of the institu-
ton are performed by the paupers, and the
superintendent seems determined to make
all work who are able. The kitchens are
as clean as scrubbng can make them, and
the same cleanliness prevails in every other
portion Of the building. OF the inmates
only four are Americans, the remainder
being from other countries. 1t is suggested
that uniform be provided for the unfortu-
mates who may be driven by circumstances
to this house Of refuge: and the suggestion
we think good one.
The committee i'm charge of the building
have purchased neat iron bedsteads, which
will arrive in few days. Mrs. X. A. P0ore,
widow of the gallant Major Poore, OF tho
Fourteenth Virginia regiment, who was
killed at Gettysburg, has been appointed
matrOn of the hospital, and Mrs. h. A.
Pearce, wife of the late superintendent Of
the alms-h0usc, is the matron Of the insti-
tuition. Captain Bigger has, though u
Young man, proved that he is better quail
fled for the position Of superintendent than
any selection which could have been made.
Perhaps no better illustration of many
of the class of applicants for lodgings at
the alms-house conld be given than the
following dialogue between u newly arrived
"patient "a femsle-and the superin-
tendent:
Female applicant want to bring my
feather bed with me, Captain. ..
7 Superintendent.-lou can't do II, ma
dam, az the rules of the institution are
against it. You can bring nothing with
you but your clothing.
Female applicant Captain, Ihave
been used to feather bed, and can't do
without it.
Superintendent Cant help it, madam !:
the rules forbid it. You will please walk
into the back room.
The applicant goes into the back room
and Ii handed over to the matron, who
takes charge Of her, but "can't see" the
feather bed.

Congregational Rumanism.

A disgraceful scene occurred in one Of the
Halls Of the Capitol at Washington yesterday,
Immediately after the adjournment of the
House. Between Gen. Rousseau, member
of Congress from Kentucky and Mr.. Grinnell,
the farmer Congressman from Iowa, serious
has for some time existed,
growing out of the reconstruction discussion.
Day before yesterday, Mr.. Grinnell took oc.
casion, in the course Of his remarks, to review
somewhat severely the military and political
course Of Gen. Rousseau. The latter was
much annoyed, and made threats. Mr. Grin
nell paid no attention to those threats. But
yesterday. Rousseau. in company with some
friends, approached him in the hall and de-
manded an apology. Mr.. Grinnell refused to
make the dmende, whereupon the General
struck him on the face with his cane. Friends
interfered, and no further violence was of
fered.
Rousseau deserves to be expelled from the
House for this disgraceful exhibition Of ruff.
fanism. That sort of plantation manners
is relic Of the reign of the slaveholding
'chivalry.' 1t should now be put stop to.
Grinnell is fearless as we'll rs An honest man.
but Rousseau is evidently bully, and took
advantage of the formers known opposition
to 6sticuffs and violence to assault him. Had
some men been in Mr. Grinnelfs place,
Rousseau would have paid the cost Of his
rufianism with his life.

A Coed THING.

A popular clergyman Of this city has lately
ceased to be housekeeper, rented his resi-.
dence and gone elsewhere. The party who
succeeded to the occupancy has been greatly
annoyed by the daily calls Of those who come
for assistance in q variety of forms. He has
ut length resorted to a novel expedient which
has served perhaps q double purpose, viz
first, to relieve him from bores; second, to
let the beggars see themselves as others see
them. And We may add that he has given
the public an insight into what popular
clergyman has to endure. He posted upon
his front card upon which the following was
written in hand as plain as the talk itself !:

THE CAMPAIGN IN MISSOURI.

Governor Stone has returned from his very
successful stumping trip. Gov. OGLEsBY
will address few other meetings. Gov.
FLETCHER is in the arena. The last few days
have witnessed a fine impetus given to the
cause Of loyalty and liberty in Missouri. The
visit of the Governors has awakened much
enthusiasm and done much good. The last,
we believe, Of Gov. Stones meetings was at
Jefferson City on Friday. Gov. OGLEsBY
and Gen. HAYsIE we're present and spoke.
There were thousands Of the loyal people
of Missouri out. Many Of them came from
distant parts Of the State. The st. Louis
Evening Ners says:
General Blair was on the ground but did
not participate in the discsssion with the
Radical speakers. He applied for alternate
hours with them, but the Radical Committee
of Arrangements decided that they had not
time enough for their own speakers, and
hence could not divide time.
Governor Oglesby opened the discussion
from the portico Of the Capitol, addressing a
wilderness of people spread out before him.
He was followed by General Haynie, of 1lli
nois, and at night Governor Stone made u
most effective speech. The latter says if the
conservatives have any chance to win in
Missouri he can't see il"
Gen. Blair, Col. Broadhead and others held
