The CITY SCAvENGERs.-The Mayor has
a case before him in which citizen IS
charged with having the filth removed from
his premises without calling to his aid the
city scavengers, which, as our readers are
aware, is a violation Of the city ordinance
upon the subject. Mr.. Marnaduke John
son appears for the defendant, and argues
against the right of the Council to pass
such an ordinance; that 1t is unconstitu-
tional, and therefore, to all intents and
purposes, void. He says, with some force,
that there is no power to compel citizen
to wait one, two or three weeks for
the movements Of the solitary scavenger
whose district embraces half the city, and
thus subject his family to the dangers of
disease, when he might have his premises
cleaned in single night by the employ
ment Of private labor. The argument will
probably he resumed this morning, and we
hope some prominent member of the Coun-
Gil will be at court to hear it. If Mr..
johnson is right in his position, the ordi-
nance ought to be repealed, for period Of
epidemic is no time to stand upon cere-
mony.

PoLITENESs AS A STIMULUS TO Trade
No one will deny the great advantage Of
being polite in this world. Good looks will
carry one good way with the ladies, but
genuine politcness, even though with an
ugly face, will carry him much further.
Favors politely conferred are received with
real gratitude: politely asked for, they are
apt to be granted; and politely refused,
cause but little disappointment. Especial
" is politeness necessary in trade; and in
these hard times it would be well to make
it staple in the Richmond market. An
old negro friend of ours, in conversation a
day or two since, remarked: 81 done learn
dis thing long ago, and dat is, no matter
whar I go amt gwine lose noting by
bein polite; and what's more, amt gwine
have no argument wild no man whar dedi-
Gates corrispondin agree of politeness to
me. III CESS excite an adzample for you,
master: go into gemman'S store, and

giant weather dis; what can do for your
comnpdation to-dayr Now, dat what l
call n polite gentleman, and l can jess tell
you what it's, gwine investigate my mo-
ney wild dat genman, suttn and shure."
Let all "gcmmcn whar keeps store" be
as polite, and everybody as appreciative
of politcncss as our old Ethiopian friend,

that the profits of such trade cannot en-

A NEGRO Boy RUN OVER AND KILLED.
Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock ne
gro boy named John Hicks, aged ten years,
was playing upon the track of the Rich
mond and Fredericksburg railroad, on Broad
street between Fifth and Sixth streets,
when hc made an effort to get upon the
freight train, which was coming slowly
down the street. In this he partially
succeeded, but his hands slipped and
he fell upon the track between the
wheels of the car and while cndeavoring
to escape from his pcrilous situation, the
rear trucks ran over his body, killing him
almost instantly. The lads mother was
sent for, and when she saw the body of her
dead child her distress was painful to wit
ness. The remains were sent home IN Il
wagon.
When we consider the fact that the boys
Oh Broad street daily crowd about the
trains and cndcavor to steal u ride, 1t is re-
markablc that we have so few accidents of
this kind to record. The train hands drive
them from one place, and they Immediate
| " make their appearance at another, risk
| ing their lives for the sake of having little
fun. If there is no other way OF putting
stop To this practice, we would suggest
that men be stationed along the street, with
orders to horsewhip every boy who ap-
proaches the trains. This would soon
cure them, and the railroad company
would be relieved Of an intolcrablc null
| canoe.

There was case of negro man reported
on Main street yesterday, but no authentic
account of it was given to the Board. We
have every confidence in the report of the
Board, and believe that the disease is dis;
appearing from the city. We have heard
of no case in the western suburbs for the
last day or two, but below the city we hear
of good many. Persons are diSinclined
to place confidence ID Che reports of the
Board because these cases are not reported.
We would inform them that the Board has
nothing to do with cases outside the city
limits.

ATTEMPT TO THROW A RAILROAD TRAIN
OFF THE TRACK.-IcStcrday morning, abont
halfpaSt o'clock, when the down mail
train on the Richmond and Fredericksburg
railroad had reached a point midway be-
tween the Mountain road and Hungary
station, some nine miles above this city,
the engineer saw some obstruction on the
track, and made an attempt to stop the
train: but the speed at which 1t was run
ming rendered this impossible, and the en-
CINE and cars dashed over it, fortunately
without being thrown from the track. The
train was soon stopped, and IN cXamlna-
tion developed the f>:t t,r,t cedar pole
had been placed aero, bet"c.l The rails,
some plank fixed upon tac QJis, ,;ld IN
front Of this q halIical- oi sis built up.
II is a wonder tlat such coutrVancc As
this should have proved harmless, and it
can Dnlv hc accounted lor on t." ny
I.uthcsis that tie timber was - much de-
cavc,l thai the iiangcs o. TIC Mice!a cut
through il. Search was immediately made
Tor the author Of tic outrage. AMI very
soon a negro, entirely nakcG, was seen
coming out of ll.c woods, and was taken
into custody. On being asked il lie placed
the Instructions upon tic track, he
said he did: and in answer To another
question said his object was TO throw the
train off. The passengers were much en-
ragged, and talked of lynching the negro
on the spot; but the officers of the train
took him on board and brought him to
Richmond, where he was turned over to the
police, and lodged in the second station
house. He proved to be Isaiah Roane, a
crazy negro, who has been several times
under arrest, and who ought to have been
restrained of his liberty long ago. In con-
vcrsation with one of our reporters yeSter-
day he announced with some dignity that
he was Isaiah, the king of the jews"
and said that his object in placing the OBJ
structions on the track was to stop the
train that he might ride to Richmond. lie
succeeded in getting his ride, but his mad
freak will probably result in placing him
where he viii not have the power to do
mischief. He declares that he fought for
the Confederacy during the war, and seems
to have a perfect hatred for "niggers"
generally.
There were scvcnty-tivc passengers on
the train, and had the negro succeeded in
throwing it off the track the consequences
must have been very serious. The matter
will he Investigated by the Mayor as soon
as Isaiah can procure some clothing.
