CHARGE OF ABDUCTION AGAINST NEGRO
PREACHER.-Wm. Harris, a negro preacher,
was arrested on Saturday OH charge pre-
ferred against him for unlawfully attempt
ing to abduct and seduce Eliza Smith, a
child under the age of seventeen years,
from the charge and custody and lawful
control, and against the will and consent,
of her father, Lomax B. Smith. Harris
refused to take bail, but sent to General
Brown, of the Freedmen's Bureau, for
relief, under the impression that he would
get him out without further ado. The
General, however, had to 60 his bail in
order to get him. He will be brought be-
fore the Mayor this morning.

TIE ANCIENT AND HoxoRARLE MAsoSs.
There will be held this evening at O'Clock,
at the Masons' Hall, the grand annual com
munication of the Grand Lodge Of Virgi-
mia, as will be seen from the notice Of the
Grand ySecretary, DR.. Dove, the Nestor of
the "Ancient and Honorable Order Of
Free and Accepted Masons.n Of all Inc
sscret Orders in this country this is the
oldest and most dignifed. It's professions
and emblems are familiar to every one
from childhood onward. They are every
where, and their charities are wherever
they are. Never an Order maintained
such tenacity of life, nor preserved its So
cret or secrets with more inviolable fidelity.
Morgan, forty years ago, published his
book divulging the secrets, and the world
wasno wiser after its appearance than i
was bstore. Upon the just principle that
traitos must be liar, nobody believed
him, andeo Mason ever either contradict
ed or affirmed it. So it passed for what It
was worth-ke Developments of . man
who had violated his solemn pledges, ifthey
were true, andNha equally dishonored
himself, if they weae not. So the book
died without sign. NStrangely enough,
Morgan was never heard of, and by o sim
pular turn of retribution,s his fate is as
great "secret !" as that o. the Masons'
| itself.
So here at this day, the ancientsn homo
rabls Order, dating its existence Al 5s66,
is as completely shut up in its inwafS life
from the outward world as ever, and Vat
life is as vigorous as it has been at any
time; and tonight, in this city, Or. Johr
Dove, who has filed so many posts of honor
in the remarkable association, calls together
the Grand Lodge Of Virginia. We shoule
call him venerable, but that he, Ike
most of the gentlemen who were his con
temporaries in early life, is yet so active
aud bright as to be deemed still young ant
promising yet age has frosted his nesf
4 with gentle, smooth, and glossy white
and that, with his cheerful face and gene
raj appearance, fits him for the prominen
position he fills in body where things arr
done " "decently and in order" The meet
ing, we are sure, will be agreeable and har
monious. iIPThe public are not admitted
1t is gratifying to see the exertions tn
Masons are making to educate children o
well as to relieve the sufferings of the de
pendent and helpless. Two decades since
they were swinging little too far to tn
conviviality Of social life. But now the
are directing their energies and means
the most philanthropic objects In the mos
practical manner.

some convenient point on the Gi0Se -
SO manifest, indeed, would be the ad-
vantages we have referred to, that, il we
are not mistaken, the enteyprising and
spirited projectors Of the railway have en-
tertained the design Of sooner or later
turning them to account. Why not do 1t
at once? It would seem to us altogether
feasible. We think the passing TO and fro
upon this branch would be immediately re-
munerative to the company, and its patron
age would rapidly and constantly increase.
Rents, In the heart ofthe city, are very high.
Nothing now prevents many from seeking
residences in the suburbs, purchasing lots
and building, II need be, but the want Of
such railway conveniences as we have sug-
gested. Other cities furnish these facili-
ties to their increasing population, and
find their account in II. Let us emulate
the praiseworthy example Of energy and
enterprise which they thus set as.

TIE CRY RAILwAY.-We regard this as
an enterprise of great Importance, not
only to the convenience and comfort OF our
citizens generally, but to their substantial
business interests. We are therefore
greatly pleased to find that the public
spirited company who are prosecuting IL
are performing the work in so admirable
manner. The road in no degree mars the
beauty OF the street, nor will 1t at all oD-
struct the free passage OF those whose
business or pleasure may lead them, on
foot or in other vehicles than the cars, TO
traverse it. We trust the road Will Dc
pushed forward vigorously to the compile
ton of the main line. We regret, how
ever, to learn that it is to have for its ter
minus the point of intersection OF BROOK
avenue with Broad street. III the COM
pany will excuse our well-meant ofhcious-
ness, we would suggest that abetter termi-
nus would, perhaps, be point still further
up Broad street, to or near the point where
the Fredericksburg road defects from It's
easterly course, and passes along the south.
western suburbs of the city to its designed
connection with the Petersburg road.
There, at far less cost than in the city, ca
pacious and convenient stables and car
houses could be erected. At that point,
too, residents of the northwestern and
western portions of the city going North
could conveniently take the cars on the
Fredericksburg road, if the proper ar
rangements were made, and on their
return be borne to the immmediate neigh
borhood of their homes, without the delay,
trouble, and expense of going to the depot
at the Petersburg bridge. We think, IN
every view of it, thfs extension of the road
desirable. That it would pay there can DC
no reasonable doubt, while it would be .
great convenience to many Of our citizens,
to the students of Richmond College, "a
large number of whom, We learn, are from
| the city, and to very considerable SUI
burban population.
For still another suggestion we trust we
shall be pardoned. It is that branch OF
the main stem might be made to great ad-
vantage along Franklin street, having LOT
its terminus the western end Of Franklin,
which would be convenient both for the
population OF Sidney and for persons sesi.
