THE NEW KKsr MURDER--CoHTIxUAEcn or
THE TRIAL OF TIE PRIsoxBas. The court-mar-
tial now trying the case Of Clarke and Shields
for the murder Of Taylor, in New Kent county,
met yesterday at 10 o'clock. Mac Jordan, q
witness for the prosecution, being absent, II
was agreed, by consent Of the counsel for the
accused, to 90 on with the evidence for the
defence, the aforesaid witness 70 be examined
afterwards. Two witnesses, from Fortress
Monroe, summoned In behalf Of Shields, could
prove no material facts. Whereupon Major
Hennessy, counsel for Shields, stated that,
having been grossly deceived by Shields - TO
the facts to be proved by these witnesses, he
felt constrained to withdraw from the case.
J. Harmer Gilmer, Jr., counsel for Clarke,
stated that his client, being perfect stranger
here, could get no evidence In regard to his
character, and that all who knew anything Of
him, so far as he was concerned with this case,
had been examined. He would, therefore, as
far as his defence was concerned, rest the case
at this point.
At the request of Shields, through the Judge
Advocate, Mr.. Gilmer consented to represent
Shields in the argument so far as his duties as
counsel for Clarke would permit him. The
case was continued until 10 clock to-day.

RICHMOND OPERA HoUsE.-It is generally un-
derstood that the main object Of the managers
Of any place of public entertainment Is to make
money, and they are usually wise enough to
see that this is best done by elevating the taste
Of their audience while they at the same
time tickle and amuse them. The education
of the directors of the Richmond Opera House
must have been sadly neglected, and now, at
the re-opening of the concern, we regret to
find that the same faults and indecencies
which characterized their former efforts have
not been in the least subdued by time or expe-
rience. A word Of well-meant advice may
perhaps produce some improvement, and, in
any event, we are confident that no concert
room which is not conducted with the strictest
attention to decorum and order will receive
the permanent support of the Richmond pub

QUARTERS AT THE LIBBY FOR nIcK TURNER
1t was generally reported yesterday that the
distinguished individuals who now provide for
the comfort and safe keeping of military and
civil offenders are preparing suite Of apart
ments at the Libby prison for Dick Tnrner,
who, in Confederate times, was the turnkey
of that venerable institution Mr.. Turner has
already been prisoner for considerable
time, and it will doubtless be gratifying to
him to find that comfortable and safe quarters
will be provided for him in that house Of the
afflicted where he formerly welded the keys Of
grave authority. Whether he will appreciate
the tender affection of his keepers must, how.
ever, depend upon his personal idiosyncrasies;
and, in any case, we must sympathise with the
prisoner, whoever or whatever he may be.

sustained effort alone can give our poor the
permanent aid which their necessities require.

Relief Association in this city will be held at

LOCAL MATTERS.

MONROE WARD MEETISG.-In pursuance to
notice, an adjourned meeting of the citizens of
Monroe Ward was held at Harwood's Hall last
night
The President, Mr.. r. F. Morris, called the
meeting to order, when the inmates OF the last
meeting were read and adopted.
The following resolutions were then read,
and adopted as the sense of the meeting:
Whereas the present crisis of affairs,
political, financial and social, require now,
more than ever, watchfulness on the part OF
voters in the city, and on the part OF repre-
sentatiyes wisdom and integrity; and whereas
the existing city government has falied 10
entrench itself in the confidence Of the citizens
by that economy and efficiency at this time so
much demanded; and whereas the hopes of
our manhood impel us TO attempt to restore
"reminiscences Of our chlldnood-recan win SO
much pride that glorious era In the history OF
our city when men were elected TO office not
for their personal popularity, but Tor their
ability, through their high and intellectual
position, combined with sound practical wis
dom, to promote the best interests OF the city;
and whereas, disclaiming all petty motives or
private partiality for any man in the commu-
nity we would seek only the public good, with
which our own fortunes are indissolubiy bound
M: therefore be IL
R1 ReS0lyed. That we deem 1t of the utmost
importance to reform the government of the
city by the selection of men who will manage
its financial affairs In the most prudent man
ner.
"2. We protest against members Of the
Council taking contracts created by the Coun-
Gil. either individually or through others for
their own benefit, or of placing too many OF
their relatives in office.
"3. We protest against the impurity and
the high price of gas and as we learn that
the city is to be brought largely in debt at six
dollars per thousand feet, we believe that
there is something radically wrong in that
dc oartment and would therefore suggest,
should the Council prove incompetent to man
ore the same, that the works be leased to
responsible parties, who will furnish to the
people and the city good gas at reasonable
rates"
a.. That we protest against all ordinances
which admit of fees to salarted ofhcers. we
have not space to cite them all, but will name
one, viz: A salaried officer has fee OF one
dollar for each wagon, dray, or cart, ne
licenses besides, there Is an Inspector, VINO
charges another one dollar on every wagon,
draw, or cart he inspects; and were his con-
science to suffer him, under the city ordinance
he could charge three dollars.
90 That we protest against all LAVISH
appropriations, and that we insist upon quar-
terly statements, to be published, of all moneys
RECEIVED from sales Of city bonds, railroad
bonds. bank stscks, and of all expenditures.
SIN conclusion, we earnestly invoke all good
citizens to aid us in the reform of our city

RoADs.-A correspondent, writing from
stand that we are to have our road surveyed,
this Spring, up to the county line, and that
Plumas county is going to extend the survey
TO Little Grass Valley. But, if that is all that
is going TO be done by either county, think
they bad better save their money, Why this
route has been neglected by capitalists or
turnpike men, can't see BY this route. it is
only thirty-sx miles from Oroville to Little
. Grass Valley, and from Stringtown or Enter
prise it could be run on q dividing ridge all the
way-no bills of any note. 1t would pass
through good region of creek and ravine
mining, which is getting better as prospecting
progresses. There are, also, four or five quartz
iedses, near the county line, being prospec.ed
with every probability of striking good rock
But as We have no roads, it would take
unusually good prospects to induce men to go
to the expense OF getting in machinery. There
are, also, good many little ranches in this
to=nship that would be enlarged and improved
If We had roads over which to ship our surplus
produce. To Plumas county, the value of a
road through here would be incalculable
There is 60 doubt that, in less than five years.
Little Grass Valley would be larger and
place Of more business than Laporte. The
road has been surveyed to Mooretown, teu
miles from Slriagtowu Hill would like TO
have the people of Pumas look into this
matter. and have 90 doubt they will have
reason TO believe everything have said; but
If ii is left to the people along the route TO
build the road. it will probably be some time
before it is DONE
