THE CITY SCAvESGERs.-The case OF
Freeman +. Simms, charged with violating
Il city ordinance by cleaning out his pre-
mises without calling in the aid of Il city
scavengcr, was again called before the
Mayor yesterday. Mr.. SimmS said that
the charge was true, and he did not deny
it. His counsel, Colonel Marnadukc
Johnson, then proceeded to argue the
question of the constitutionality OF the
ordinance, taking the ground that it was
clearly unconstitutional, and that the
Mayor had no right to impose fine under
it. At Il meeting of the City Council
some time ago, at which he was present,
DR.. Bolton, one of committee from the
Academy of Medicine, made report, and
in view of the probability of visitation OF
cholera, enioincd all citizens to keep their
premises clean. The Council accordingly
passed an ordinance requiring them to do
so. At Il subsequent period III ordinance
was passed iorbdding them to clean ont
their sinks without the aid of 4 city sea-
vcngcr. Thus, if he fails to cleanse his
premises he is fined, and if he clcanscs
them he is fined. 1t was too much the
habit of legislators in these days to diSrc-
gard the inalcnablc rights Of the citizen
and to pass oppressive laws. Mr.. john
son proceeded to read from the city
charter that section regulating the es-
tablishmcnt Of hospitals and making
preparations to confront disease. lie
then remarked that the question
was, had Il citizen the right to cleanse
his own premises! One who attends to
this obeys the mandates of the law as laid
down in the charter OF the city and had
the Council q right to pass an ordinance
forbidding him to do it! He contendcd
that this body had no more right to pass
such an ordinance than to say that man
should not sweep out his yard, or that his
| Honor, as q representative Of the olden
time, should not wear ruilled shirt. lie
thought his client deserved credit for
keeping his premises clean, and he respect
| fully submitted that the fine ought not to
be imposed.
The Mayor said that he had no right to
over-rule the ordinances of the Council.
, He sat there to carry the laws into effect,
and was not clothed with rcvsory power.
! The question before him was whether the
Council had exceeded the authority vested
in them by the Legislature of Virginia in
passing the ordinance providing for the APP
pointment of scavengcrs. lie quoted from
the city charter the points bearing upon
the matter, argued them at considerable
| length, and concluded by deciding the
question against Mr.. Simms, imposing a
| fine of five dollars-thc minimum amount
required by the ordinance.
Mr., Johnson then announced that ne
would take an appeal to the City Council,
and if necessary to the Supreme Court OF
Appeals. And thus the matter stands Tor
! the present.

THE POISONING CASE.-The fact OF
three negroes having been taken sud-
denly ill few days ago, on Broad street
below Seventeenth, after partaking OF
bread which they supposed to have been
poisoned, has received thorough ventila-
tion through the city newspapers. The
analysis of some particles Of dough found
in the tray in which the bread was made
up has been completed, and has proved
it to have been strongly impregnated
with arsenic. On yesterday an analy-
sis was made of some flour taken from
the same barrel ct John Gallaghers store
from which these negroes procured that
of which the bread was made, and no poi
son was discovered. This makes it more
apparent that the bread was poisoned by
the negro cook but whether accidentally
OF by design remains yet to he developed.
DR.. John y. Little, coroner, yesterday
made the following report I" Major Ciai-
borne upon the matter above alluded to:
Mdjor j. III. Cajborne, chief Of Police:
Dear Sir,-In accordance with your re-
quest, have carefully examined the "p"i-
soning eases" on Seventeenth street. !
present this rs my report:
The colorcd man Moses Pollard and his
wife and stcp-daughter were taken very i'll
after eating bread made from flour rur-
chased of Mr.. Gallagher, grocer and baker,
on Seventeenth street near Broad.
Tho flour was bought by Minerva, an
other daughter of Pollard.
1t was made up by Pollard's wife, and
all partook of it except Minerva and a
.,,,.,x ..lou,l ,,,,l ,,In bn,r.I,J ia III,
family. Those who partook OF it were
made sick, and some fowls in the yard, tn
whom the bread was thrown, were killed
By it.
I learn that Pollard had some difficulty
with his stcp-daughtcr Minerva.
DR.. Hundlcy, the attending physician,
furnished me a piece of the bread, and
Mr.. Gallagher portion Of the flour sold.
1t was taken by me from the barrel, two
thirds of which had been sold, and eaten
in the neighborhood without complaint.
With the assistance of Mr.. Willis, a care
full and Skilful chemist in the establishment
of L. Wagner, on Sixth and Broad streets,
thorough examination OF the flour and
bread was made. In the flour, no poison
GUS substance whatever was found; it was
perfectly pure, although submitted To the
most rigid tests. In the bread we found
arsenic and this when examined hy three
different tests most carefully used.
made careful inquiries whether there
might not have been some poisonous sub
stance fused as medicinc) accidentally
present in the house, but could not find
any.
Mr.. Hancock, of Frayser's drug store
Seventeenth and Broad streets, has made
a similar examination, and finds arsenic in
the flour and bread obtained from Pol
ard's house, and none at all in the flour
taken from the barrel in Gallagher's store
The inference to be drawn is, that the
flour was pure when sold, and that poison
(arscnic) was afterwards mingled with it
Suspicion points to the two who did moi
partake of the bread when made.

THE THIEVES AND THE FIRE-PLCGS.-
Some graceless scamps have been engaged
for two or three weeks past, day and night,
in stealing the brass caps from the nozzles
of the fre-plugs at various points in the
city. Three were stolen yesterday; and
If the thieves arc not soon detected and
checked, all the plugs in Richmond will be
robbed. Their operations have already
cost the city about 800. The police have
received instructions to be on the look
ont !: but 80 far they have been unsucccss-
full. There is little doubt that this stolen
brass finds it's way to the junk stores, for
the depraved juveniles Of Richmond have
got Junk on the brain badly; and tho
rough search Of these establishments
might result in detection Of the thieves.

RoBBERIES.- thieves have lately
turned their attention to the saddlery and
harness business to some extent. The
stables Of C.. J. Baldwin and William b.
Jones, OIL Church Hill, have been lately
broken open and robbed of harness, and If
the proprietors do not keep sharp look
out the rascals will have their horses next.
A downcast auctioneer once offered q saddle
for sale, and found his customers little dis
posed to bid. Finally, in his desperation,
he exclaimed, "If there is Boston man
in this crowd, he'd better buy this saddle,
for he'll be sure to have horse before
night" Richmond thieves reverse this
operation, and steal the harness before pro-
yiding themselves with horses.
p. S.-Since the above was written we
have learned that the stable of Mr.. W. B..
Jones. at the corner of Twenty and
Grace streets, Church Hill, was broken
open on Thursday night and robbed OF .
valuable horse. He offers u reward of 800
for the recovery Of the animal and the ar
rest and conviction Of the thief. The ras-
cal undoubtedly had that horse in his
".miud's eye" when he stole the harness.
