Mayors COIRT - WEDNESDAY Morn
ING-MAYOR MAYO PRESIDING.-ThOmas
Davis, negro, was arraigncd on charge of
stealing iron from the Danville depot. lie
was sent on.
A. s. Mccarthy was fined five dollars for
being drunk on the street.
Benjamin Taliaferro, negro boy, charged
with having in his possession a stolen vest,
was sent on.
Thomas Jefferson Martin, negro, charged
with trcspassing on the premises OF Benia-
min Green, Esq, with intent to commit
larceny, was sent on.
Tazewcll Carr, Lewis Carr, and Tho
mas Davis, were arraigncd on the charge
of feloniously assaulting with intent to
kill Thomas Matthews. Matthews ap-
peared in court with his head bandaged,
but 10y no means dying man. He could
not testify as to who it was that struck
him. He was intoxicated at the time, and
could rcCollcCt nothing.
Thomas Callaghan, soldier, testified that
he went to house on Navy Hill, on Sun
day afternoon, with Matthews, and was
ordered ont. He started out, but before
he had cleared the door he was knocked
down. He was little under the influence
of liquor at the time. He saw Matthews
fall but could not swear who struck him,
or with what he was struck.
Another soldier testified that he was
outside of the house at the time OF the
atfray. He saw Tazewell Carr strike
Thomas Callaghan, and saw Davis strike
Matthews with rock.
Another witness said that TaZewcll Carr
struck Matthews with q rock, and that
Lewis Carr struck Callaghan with his fist.
Davis was kicked down by one of the SOL
dcrs.
Other witnesses gave evidence as to the
affair. but their statements were so con-
Trajectory thatit was impossible TO tell who
did strike Matthews.
DR.. Brock gave evidence as TO the nature
Of MatthewS's wound. He did not think
il at all serious one.
The parties were sent on for indictment
for felony, and refused bail.
At the conclusion OF the session Of the
court, his Honor stated that, out of the
large number of negroes before him on
Tuesday, he had found, upon listing them,
that only three were of the city OF Rich
mond. Furthermore, that from an cXami-
nation of the criminal records Of the city,
he could safely say that not more than one
tenth of all the criminals examined before
him belonged to the city. He wished this
made public for the city Of Richmond
had late been libcllcd through ignorance
and malice. He was proud that he could
safely rcfute the foul Slandcr upon the fair
name of the city. The records showed
that the crowds of rullianS, vagabOndS, and
thieves who infested Richmond, were in a
great proportion from Alexandria and Nor
folk

A CURIOUS CALIFORNIA STORY.-A late
issue of the Napa county California Re
giSter has singular story:
"a family residing in the Napa valley
has within few years past lost five of its
members by death. BY some curious CO.
Incidence, O friend residing in San Fran
cisco has, at each deccase, been on visit
to the family, and the fact has been so re-
markahlc as to attract notice, and in the
minds of some, create a superStitious dread
of him. The year following the third
death, the gentleman paid visit to the
family, and the lady Of the house said in a
iocular manner on first acCoSting him,
What misfortune do you now bring ?
Apparently in good health at the time, in
an hour after she was corpse. Recently
he paid his accustomed annual visit, and a
daughter-in-law, who had been lingering
with consumption for some time, died soon
after his arrival. No blame is attached to
him as an instrument in causing these
deaths, yet that singular fatality to the
family has been attendant upon his pcriodi-
cal visits is most remarkable. In Italy the
people would believe him to
possess the fatal gift of the Evil Eye -"

THE DOUGLAS MONUMENT CEREMONIES
THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY SEWARD
To BE PREsENT.-Mr. Seward to-day (4th)
promised to attend the Douglas Monument
ceremonies at Chicago, announced to take
place on the 4th of July. The President
also agreed positively to attend, provided
Congress shall have adjourned in the mean
time, or long enough before the time fixed
to enable him to get to Chicago. The de-
legateS, in view Of this suggested contin-
gency, proposed a poStponemcnt Of the
ceremony until after the adjournment of
Congress. The President replied that if
such arrangements were made he would at
tend. There is therefore no doubt that
both Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Seward will par
ticipate in the contemplated ceremonies.

VERY NATURAL OFFENCE FOR A SOLDIER.
The Waterbury (Ct.) american gives the
following warning to those who are dis
posed to amuse themselves by cndangering
the lives of the public:
There is now in the State prison bright,
intelligent young man, soldier in the late
civil war, and connection Of several
reputable families in the State, who Is
under a sentence of fifteen years i'm
prisOnmeQt for placing distractions on the
track of a railroad. He probably thought
little or nothing of the enOrmity Of his
crime until he heard the sentence of the
court pronounced, and then the dreadful
edict, that he must spend all the best days
of his life within the firm walls of prison,
crushed all the spirit of bravado or false
courage that had borne him up, and sent
him back to his cell a hcart-broken man.

TnE GOVERNMENT PROGRAMME OF THE
TRIAL OF Mr.. DAvR.--The Richmond cor
respondent June 81 Of the New York
Times, as If speaking by authority, says !:
"Thc Grand Jury will be discharged,
and probably notice given Of a special ses-
sion of the court, called by Justice Chase,
under the authority of the recent act of
Congress, the time set being probably the
first week in October, and Mt which special
session the only cause tried will be that of
the United States as. Jefferson Davis.
This is undoubtedly the Government pro-

DIGGING AwAY.-The lot covering the
half square on which formerly stood the
Friends meeting house, at the corner of
Nineteenth and Cary streets, as the reader
knows, we suppose, was sold some time
since TO Mr.. c. +. WhitlOck. The old
church was removed, and the lot is now
being dug down to a level with Cary street
for the purpose, possibly, Of Improvement.
The earth taken away is fine for making
bricks, and the expense Of leyelling will be
more than paid by the proceeds from the
sale Of the earth when carted away. When
the work is done it will make a great
change from the appearance of the place
when the old meeting house stood there,
so quietly, near to the broad branching tree
which sheltered the Friends in their plea
SAINT meetings for exchanging salutations
before their services began. The church
was a fair representation Of the unaffected
simplicity and frankncSs of the congrega-
ton which assembled within its walls. As
time drew on, it found itself too much in
the uproar and din of the business world
for quiet contemplation and devotion, and
so had to withdraw from the scene.

being the design of the ladies to enclose
all the soldiers graves in the Jewish Gem

ument in the centre to the memory of the
honored dead of the Lost Cause. On
Tuesday morning the Israelitish ex-Con-
federates filed up the graves of their for
mer comrades, and turfed them in very
substantial manner. 1t was gratifying
sight to behold young men of this city,
some of them frail of limb, with coats off,
wheeling gravel and turf, as the last sad
tribute they could pay 10 departed worth.
We wish the ladies God-speed in the holy
work of erecting lasting record Of the
fallen brave, and thus perpetuatiug, for
generations 10 come, the memory Of those
heroes. .s...- - Il
