cond battalions Eleventh United States in

UNITED STATES PESsI0Ns.-Mr. James
T. Sutton, Jr., United States Pension
Agent at the cllstom-hOuse, paid OFT on
the 9Th instant the following pensions :
War of the Revolution; war of 1872: Mex
lean war, 1916 and finally, the "Rebcl-
lion " of 1861. BY an arbitrary ruling of
the War Department he has been compelled
to refuse pensions to those pensioners of
the war of 1876 who have been connected
in person or by family with the cause OF
the South. Extremely loyal people may
not think that there is lack of magnani-
nifty in this style of treating some OF the
most gallant soldiers of the war of 1916 !;
but, look at it as We will, We cannot but
think it very ungcnerous. Negroes who
ran away from their masters from pure love
of novelty, or were forced away by the in
vaders, and happened to lose II limb or be
disabled I" for the Cnion," are paid PEN
Sions, but those men who remained ut home
and advocated the principles they had been
taught to hold as sacred, or fought for the
cause they believed to he right, are to be
deprived of their pittance. Generous 4"
and magnanimous officials, who faith
fully serve the Government by making oil
they can out of it, in their zeal and patri-
men who fought to extend the territory OF
the United States should forfeit all obliga-
tiOns on the part of that Government. If
this be right, to use common phrase, ''we
can't see it."

E-STEALING.-Yesterday morning
about 10 o'clock, Mr.. ]. G. Bcattie eln-
ploycd negro boy about sixteen years Of
age, named Octavius Randolph, to take care
of his horse. About o'clock i'll the after
noon the boy bridled and saddled the horse,
closed the stable door, mounted, and rode
off. Late in the evening Mr.. Beattic saw him
riding down Main street, and gave chase.
The boy leaped off, leaving the horse in the
street, and took to flight on foot at the top
of his speed. Sergeant Howard, Of the
police, happened to be in the vicinity,
ioined in the pursuit, and soon had the
fugitive in custody. He was locked up at
the first station-house, and the matter will
be investigated at the Mayors court this
morning.

NOVELTY IN THIEyING.--The dcpravcd
juveniles in the upper part of the city have
inauguratcd a new system of robbery,
which, if not checked, may prove rather
troublesome to propcrty-owners In that
quarter. They manage to effect an en-
trance into some unoccupicd house, and
purloin everything made of brass that they
can lay their hands upon-bell-khobs, pen
dants, and brackets of the chandeliers, and
all such articles are taken possession OF
and carried away by these roguish young
stcrs and if they find it a difficult matter
to unScrcw them, they violently wrench
them from their iastcnings, thus inticting
considerable damage upon the property
they leave behind. This plumber adds
something to their stock in trade, and they
find ready purchasers among some of the
Junk dealers in the city. There is no
doubt that the establishment of junk shops
in Richmond has made n rogue of many an
honest boy, who before had no temptation
to steal; for it was no easy matter to turn
the proceeds into ready money. Our re-
marks, be it understood, do not apply to all
the junk dealers, for there are unlucstiona-
bly some who do business "on the square ;"
but to those only who encourage the boys
and negroes to steal by purchasing their
old iron and brass without asking any ques-
tionS. On the whole, the junk shop is an
institution of no especial advantage I" our
city; but having already become n fix
turc," we imagine it would he rather
difficult task to break it up.

THE RAILWAY CONNECTIoN.-Altho Though
this work was commenced only about six
weeks ago. it has already progressed so far
as to give promise OF its completion at an
early day. The excavation for the tunnel
on Byrd street has been completed from
Fifth to Fourth and from Third to Second
street, and yesterday the workmen COM
menccd breaking ground between Fourth
and Third streets. This tunnel, ut its
deepest excavation, measures about thirty
seven feet, and is cut through a hard soil
mixed with gravel and Fullcr's earth. That
portion of the brick work which has been
laid for the arch is done in the most com
pact and substantial manner. This arch is
to be fifteen feet high in the clear inside
From point about midway between First
and Foushee streets to some distance be-
yond, the cars will run over treStlcwork,
with firm brick foundations, which is al.
ready in an encouraging state of forward
ness. The bricks used are made in Rich
mond, and are hard and well calculated for
enduring service. Nearly 100 hands and a
large number of horses and mules are en-
ployed upon the work. Mr.. n. b. Shcp-
pard, who occupied similar position Oh
the Blue Ridge tunnel, is superintendent
of the brick work, and Mr.. Rice Of the car
pcntry and trcstlcwork and both branches
thus far reflect much credit upon theil
skill and judgment. The tunnel is well
worth visit from any person who feels al
interest in such matters.

NEGRO GrLLIBTLITY.-Somc malicious
"loyalist in this city has been cndeavor-
ing to infame the minds of tho negro popu-
lation by telling them that the disease now
prevalent is not cholera, but in reality the
effect of poison administered by the "white
folks "-that the latter have been engaged
in poisoning the wells, fruits, and food
and, ridiculous as this story is, it has found
many believers among the more ignorant
classes of the blacks. The negro is en-
phatically gulliblc being, but we hardly
thought he could be made to believe such
barefaced lie ~ this. The instigator of
the story has even gone farther, and con-
vinccd them that the druggists put some
villainous cOncoction into their prescrip-
tions, and thus hurry the unfortunate dar-
kics out of the world in little less than no
time. We have the best authority for
stating that the negroes have set on foot
subscription for the purpose of bringing on
a cOlored apothecary from the North, with
a stock of "colorcd" drugs, in the hope of
checking the mortality now prevailing.
The more intelligent of our black popula-
tion, however, will have nothing to do with
it, they having sense enough to see and
comprehend the absurdity of the whole
thing.
Yesterday morning, negro man, his wife
and child, living on Broad between Seven
tsenth and Eighteenth streets, were taken
suddenly i'll shortly after eating their break
fast, and Immediately became convinced
that they were poisoned. The report spread
like wildfre, and the house was soon SUR
rounded by throng of blacks, who con-
tinued to come and 60 all day. They were
much excited, gesticulated in violent
manner, and uttered the most dirclul
threats of vengeance for the supposed out
rage. 1t appears that the negro family
above alluded to purchased yesterday
morning a small quantity Of flour from
John Gallaher, a baker, on Seventeenth
street. This was made into bread, and all
partook heartily of it ercept the negro girl
uhO made it up, who positively refused to
eat. Late in the afternoon this girl was
taken with violent fit of Mysteries, and it
was found necessary tn resort to assatptida
and mustard remedies to restore her to her
equilibrium. The other patients were all
doing we'll at half-past s o'clock last
night, with good prospect of speedy re-
covery. The flour which was alleged to
have been poisoned was partially analyzed
yesterday afternoon by Mr.. John Hancock,
clerk at Mr.. Frayser's drug store, and no
thing wrong was discovered. 1t is the
opinion of medical gentlemen who saw the
negroes that they were suffering from an
attack of bilious cholic.
