AN OLD EsrABLIsHAESr.-The long -estab-

in successful career. So well do remember
its old sign under the Eagle, and the jovial,
large hearted principal Of the house, whose
tall and ample figure, and cheerfcl, manly

the thorough and finished style in which he
pursued his occupation. With noprejudices

CONFINED BY MILITARY Authority
The President has telcgraphed to General
Terry for list of all persons who have
been sent to the State Penitentiary by
military commissions or courts-martial, for
crimes less than murder, and who have
been confined six months or more. 1t is
stated that all such will be pardoned and
released, and, as the required list has been
forwarded, the order is anxiously looked
forward to. Under such an order about
fifty persons would be released. Some are
victims to perjury, some to circumstantial
evidence, and the majority to the igno-
rance that exists in all foreigners Of the
manners and habits of the negro. Let us
have either civil or military law This
half-an-half state of affairs is nothing more
than injustice, no less than a nuisance.

COMMONWEALTH VS.. SAMUEL JAMES,
The case of Samuel James, charged with a
breach of the peace, was taken up in the
Mayors Court On yesterday morning. Mr..
James Lyons appeared for the prisoner.
Mr.. James was attended by number Of
witnesses, one of whom bore upon his
shoulder, sllrouded carefully in paper,
the historic tongs which are said to have
been thrown by Mr.. Pollard at the head of
Mr.. James.
Mcssrs. Pollard, Moore, and Payne, wit
nesses for the Commonwealth, were called,
and failed to answer.
Mr.. Lyons then asked the Mayor to dis
miss the case. He said that Mr.. James
had not committed any breach Of the
peace, and that it was purely personal
affair.
The Mayor declined to do this, and was
proceeding to explain his reasons, when
Messrs. Payne and Moore, " fiery red with
haste," entered the courtroom, and said
that Mr.. Pollard would make his appear
ance in few minutes.
The Mayor, at the request of Mr.. Lyons,
then consented to postpone the case until
Friday morning at . o'clock. Mr.. Pollard,
however, came in and asked that the case
might be dropped.
Mayor Mayo said that he had bound Mr..
Pollard over in the sum of four thousand
dollars to keep the peace and he had in
tended to do the same with Mr.. James. 1t
appeared to him that Mr.. James had gotten
hold of the wrong person, as the man who
had aggricved him was not withint the State
of Virginia. At the request of Mr.. Pol
lard and the counsel, he would dismiss the
case. All the parties concerned then left

TAKEN UP AND TAKEN DowN.-On Mon
day night, the negro servant of farmer in
Suffolk refused to do any work, and CON-
menced celebrating his "freedom "by a
profusion of energetic abuse levelled at his
master. This latter, as a natural conse-
quence, took the recalcitrant negro in
hand, and gave him healthy beating.
When he had finished, he asked the negro
whether he did not want to 60 up to the
Freedmen's Bureau. The negro said yes,
and the farmer at once carried him to the
courthouse, and into the presence Of the
Acting Assistant Deputy District Chief of
the Bureau of Freedmen and Abandoned
Lands. OF course the negro told his tale
as well as the farmer; and when both had
concluded, the Acting Assistant Freed
mems Bureau told the astonished "freed-
man" that he had been served exactly
right, and that he had q great mind to give
him a second dose himself. This was the
last act in the drama. Exit the farmer and
the negro, one gratified, the other stupifed,
and both very much ast0unded.
