THE FEAST Of the Oakwood Memorial
Association closes to-day. We would ad-
wise all who have not partaken Of the good
things so tcmptingly offered by the fair
ladies who are conducting it, to 60 down
to-day and "get bite" Those who have
once eaten there will not, we are sure, fail
to be on hand in time. No nobler scheme
is now before the public than this, Of res
cuing from destruction the graves of our
dead heroes, and no more delightful man
ner of aiding it can be imagined than by
buying a ticket, to this feast, and using
it. The display of contectioneries, &c.,
on the side table is tempting, and al
most makes the greenbacks jump out
of ones pocket, of their own accord,
into the fair hands which arc ready
to receive them. Among the nice things
on this table we were particularly struck
with very fine and handsome cake, pre-
sented to the ladies of the Association by
our townsman, Mr.. j. Oscar Goode. This,
among other cakes, is to be rafled off to-
morrow night. All who want to take a
chance ct it had better put their names
down early, before the list is filed up.

SUIT FOR MALICIOUS PROsECUTION.-A
suit was brought against John I. Sizer in
the Hastings Court yesterday by James
Holtzhauer for malicious prosecution. Some
months ago Sizer charged Holtzhauer with
stealing cow, having seen skin at Holtz-
hauer's tan yard which he thought to be that
of his COW. Holtzhauer was arrested, and
on the next day Sizer's cow came home.
Holtzhauer has therefore instituted suit
for 81 900 damages. The case was called
yesterday, but neither of the parties being
ready for it, it was continued.

RICHMOND. FRIDAY MORNING., FEBRUA1

I THE CRY RAILwAY.-The oversight by
which the street cars were blockaded by
snow and ice at time when a brisk husi-
ness might have been done in transporting
passengers, was the provocation for num-
Der of witty squibs of the reporters. So
that the error which stopped the revenue
of the company suppHed the reporter with
small capital, which came in most for
tunately at q time when he was very "hard
up"
But the company finally cleared the
track and went to work. They have been
improving ever since. They have increased
the length of their route, their speed, and
the number of their cars. These indica-
tions of increased enterprise are infusing
the public mind with Q kindlier sentiment,
and people have been daily showing an in
creased disposition to take rides. The
movement of the handsome cars, the merry
bells, and the drivers whistle, lend much
animation to life in the streets, and strike
the eve and ear as prophetic of the brighter
and more active and fourishing day that is
not far ahead.
The equipments Of this Richmond road
are not inferior to those of the largest
cities. We are sure that the introduction
of this railway into Richmond will exert
very beneficial effect Upon the spirit of en-
terprise amongst US. At is only necessary
| to extend it to some part of the suburbs
eligible for building purposes, to stimulate
business men and spectators to the work
of improyement-to the building of dwell
ings suited to business men and mechanics,
and such scene of industry and activity
as will show itself on the border has never
been witnessed here. TO such a popula-
tion as will Immediately I'LL up a district 50
improved, the city railway will be an ines
timable blessing. 1t win enable them at all
seasonsito come to their work or business in
town rapidly and mora comfortably, and
they will greatly economic in rents and
cost of living in their new homes beyond
the present corporate limits.
We shall soon see thiss sort of good re-
sultng from this new Institution, whose
introduction is an important epoch in the
history Of Richmond-kindred in the ma
ture Of its public benefit to those of water
and light. 1t only needs that the people
shall get in the habit of fiding in the street
car. When it becom$ fashionable, or
what is more proper, customary" every
body will ride. If they are slow to begin,
they will never give up the habit when
once adopted. For this reason we may con-
slider the Railway Company as certain in
the end to do a most profitable business,
and become indeed a great corporation.
1t is certainly to the interest of Richmond
that it should have complete success.

FRIGHTFUL RUNAWAY AcCIDENT.-Yes-
terday morning about IL o'clock a horse
attached to buggy, in which were two
young men, ran Off near Tenth and Capt.
tol streets, and dashed down Governor
street at a fearful rate, knocking down Sc
veral tree boxes, and scattering everything
in its way. Upon reaching the Wing of
fee corner the young men were dashed
out, one of them striking his head vio-
lently against the curb-stone, producing a
terrible cut, tearing an entire portion OF
the scalp running from near the top of
the head to the left eye, forming trian-
gular cut about three or four inches in
width at the base, and scraping out about
an inch of the pericranium. The other
young fellow received severe cut over
the right eye, and one under the chin,
though his hurts are by no means as Sc
rious as those Of his companion. The lat
ter was conveyed to his room, where his
wounds were dressed by Drs. Coakley and
J. B. Brock. His wounds are of Sc
rious nature, and it is wonderful that he
escaped being killed instantly.

Gov. Brownlow has done nothing for long
time which will SO much delight all right
thinking men as his kind and sensible treat
ment of Isham G. Harris when that person re-
turned from exile. The loyal Governor and
the Rebel Ex-Governor met cOurteously, in a
spirit which unfortunately has not been very
common in the Border States, and we are glad
to see the Rebel newspapers mention it as
an example of the revival of brOtherly and
forbearing sentiment between the long es-
tranged citizens of common country.

FLORIDA,

The Jacksonville Union gives us returns nom
% counties of the vote for Convention III
Florida. 1t appears that although the white
voters came up in strong force to the registry,
they almost unanimously refrained from voting
in the hope of defeating the Convention by
reducing the aggregate vote below the number
required by law. In this, however, they appear
TO have failed the returns already in showing
that majority of all those registered did ac-
tually vote in the following counties, and there
are 10 counties yet to hear from, which will
considerably increase the vote for the COnyen-
ton. The figures thus far are as follows:

men as Charles A. Lane will lower your

The Alabama claims are soon to come up
both in Congress and in Parliament. We earn
estly beg that some kind of settlement may
speedily be made. The greatest obstacle TO a
mutual understanding is the factiOusness Of a
party which tries to nurse cause for
war with Great Britain, and hopes some day
to use these unsettled claims as a convenient
pretext. The two Governments are so nearly
agreed now that it seems hardly possible to
avoid dsposing of the matter unless there is a
want of good faith on one side OF the other.
