THE HENRICo COUNTY PooR-HoUsE.-
The Board of Justices of the county pur-
chased on yesterday farm of tifty-seyen
and a half acres, four miles from the city,
between the Varina and Darbytown roads,
for the purpose of erecting thereon poor
house and other necessary buildings.
There is now abundant space at the CON-
mand of the Board, and work will be COM
menced. The cost of the farm, which was
sold at auction by Grubbs Y Williams, was
5000. 1t will be remembered that the
old poor house was destroyed during the
war, and the site sold, so that new pur-
chase was made necessary.

A Coon ORDER.-The Public Guard and
city police have orders from the Governor
and the Mayor to clear the Capitol Square
at 10 O'Clock at night, and to arrest all
parties, male or female, caught in it after
that hour. This is q good order, and we
hope but the first step towards the restora-
ton of the Square to resort for decent
people. There was time when an after
p noon or evening visit to the Square was
refreshing, and when it was daily resort
for the beauty and Elite Of our city. But
of late days, alas how changed. The
rlace seems to have lost its beauty, and
there is no longer attraction about it.
During the day it seems entirely deserted
except by loafing white men or worthless
negroes and of the disgusting scenes that
are nightly Witnessed there but little need
be said. May the day come again when
the Square viii be fit resort for ladies
and gentlemen. We fear it will not.

RoBEERY AT TIE EXCHANGE IOTEL.-A
negro named Alexander Dunlop was ar
rested on yesterday, charged with steal
ing $500 in notes and draft for S50j from
DR.. +. NJ. Powell, a guest at the Exchange
Hotel. On Thursday night DR.. PowelPs
money was safe, and about o'clock on
Friday morning Dunlop waited on him in
his room. In the morning DR.. Powell
found his clothes lying near the door, and
his money and draft gone. Suspicion fell
upon Dunlop, as he waited upon the floor
upon which DR.. Powell was staying, and
he was threatened with arrest. a further
search was then made, and the draft was
found lying upon the floor. 1t had not
been noticed before, although the room
had been thoroughly searched, and it is
supposed that Dunlop threw it there to
avert suspicion from himself.
1t was Dunlop who first gave notice that
the draft was found, and he stated that ne
saw DR.. Powell put the draft in corner
of the room. Subsequently he said that
he saw it drop out Of the Doctors pocket.
The first of these stories is absolutely
false, and the second is impossible, as
when the Doctor retired at night the
draft was tightly rolled up in the notes,
and the whole parcel was in his pan
falcons pocket. Dunlop is very smart
boy, and reads and writes with facility.
When accused of the robbery on ycster-
day morning hc was fully dressed, as
though prepared to go of. He will be cx-
amined before the Mayor this morning.

THE VAGRANT CHILDREN OF RICHMOND
The streets of this city are crowded with
vagrant children who solicit aims from the
passcrs-by, and generally obtain from char
liable and generous feeling that which pru-
dencc and cool judgment would deny.
Many, too many, OF these poor children are
nothing but "blinds" or "decoys." They
are poor, they are ragged, they are mise
rablc their feet are bare, and it is real dis
treSS which gives pathos to their cries Tor
aid. The children do not deceive, but in
too many instances every cent which they
obtain is given to pay for the riotous living
| of their dissipated pseudo-parents. Many,
again, are beggars by trade, and when their
whining appeal for "only quarter to buy
loaf of bread for Nanny is refused,
they will turn away with muttered curse
| upon their lips, which they care not to con-
ceal. Many, again, are the children otpcr-
sons who are so reduced in circumstances
that they cannot support themselves, and
! il is for the sake of such children, and from
a noble belief that it is better to give to
one hundred of the unworthy rather than
run the risk of turning away one OF the
worthy, that so much money and charita-
BILE relief is given daily in the city.
For each one of the classes that we have
named the present system is about the
worst that could be found, and there is no
hope of preventing imposition or OF re-
warding the deserving until some lnstitu-
tion in the nature of a poor-houSe IS eSta-
blished by the Council. The ragged
children who now infest our streets could
be taken there and made, in time, to sup
port themselves, and those whose only
fault was that Of being poor would be ena-
bled to live comfortably until they had ac-
quired the means of earning livelihood.
or until the return of better days and
better times enabled their immediate
friends to take charge of them.
For all our poor-for the professional
beggar and the starving child, and for those
who parade their necessities upon the
streets, and those whs hide their sutterings
in a cellar corner-a poor-house is re.
quired, and we hope that the subject viii
be borne in mind and discussed ut the
! -a..t ,,,,at;pr of rho City CouDcil
