REGULATIONS FOR THE PoLICE.-Major
Poe, the new Chief Of Police, has issued
the following series of regulations for the
government Of the police force:
HEADQUARTERS CHEF OF POLICE,
RICHMOND, March /, 1867.
I" Gtrercl order No l.
81 respectfully call the attention of the
officers and men of the police force to the
eighteenth section Of the police ordinance,
which requires every officer, sergeant, and
policcman to wear their full uniforms when
ever they appear in public, whether they
are on duty or not.
"Also 10 the fourth section of the rules
and regulations Of the police force, which,
I regret to say, has been totally disre-
garded. 1t is rs follows: No member OF
the police force shall enter any place or
bar-room where any Intoxicating or fer
mented drink may be furnished or sold.'
II is of the greatest importance that these
rnles should be observed, not only for the
GOOD name and reputation the force has
hitherto borne, but the interests of the city
demand it.
"Some Of the men are disposed to in.
dulge in the habit OF smoking and loung.
ing about the street-corners while on duty
habits that are altogether intolerable In
any regular organized police force and
hereafter no policeman will be permitted
to smoke or to converse with any person
on the street while on duty, unless 1t bt
in the performance Of his duty,) and in thi'
case it shall be as brief as possible, as it il
my intention to suppress these evils as fa'
as possible and hope that every member
for his own individual welfare and that Q
the community, will conform strictly to al
the rules and regulations laid down for tn'
government of the police force, as this
the only method Of preserving the reputa
tion of the force" @ 8. -

REDUCTION OF TELEGRAPH RATEs.-The

Western Union Telegraph Company (only

reduced its rates for telegraphing. Among

ing On messages to New York, from Sl.2O
for the first ten words and ten cents for
each word additional, reduction has been
made to 81 for ten and eight cents for each
additional word; to Philadelphia, from
ninety-ive and eight to ninety and seven ;
to Baltimore, from seventy five and seven
to eighty and six. The reduction has been
made in the same ratio to other points.
This is one of the very few instances
where company which has no opposition
at all has voluntarily reduced its rates. II
is one Of the few corporations which have,
but do not use, the advantages of mo-
nopoly.

The HOP OF THE ARLINGTON CLUB.-
Among the most pleasant social affairs Of
the season, we record the hop given by the
members Of the Arlington Social Club at
Virginia Hall on Thursday night. Though
the night was cloudy and threatening, it
was we'll attended and but short time
after the hour for the commencement of
the hop, the pretty little hall was well
filed, and Joe Hirshberg, with his often
required assistants, struck up a lively
quadrille that made feet shuttle in spite Of
themselves.
The scene "where youth and beauty
met to chase away" etc., was one that we
are utterly unable to do justice to in the
way of description. The crowded, bril-
liantly Lighted room, the fitting forms OF
the dancers, the gladdening strains Of the
music, the busy hum of voices, the ripping
merry, heart-stealing sounds of woman's
laughter, bright eyes, flushed cheeks,
heaving bosoms, and all that sort Of thing,
were enough to dazzle q poor mortaPs eyes
out of his head and take his breath clean
away. QuadriIle, waltz, polka, and galop
rapidly succeeded each other, and the
lhours flew as rapidly by as an express train
on northern railroad making up for lost
time.
At about IL o'clock the supper was an
nounced, and about hundred couples took
their places around the festive board,
which had been most bounteously supplied
with everything that was nice and sub
stantial by Mr.. Nigel, proprietor Of the
Hail.. In short time the nice order of
things on the table was destroyed, and the
clatter Of knives and forks, the busy wait
ers flying to and fro, and the popping Of
champagne corks, told that the action had
well begun. 5 .y ssl.sE.
Supper finished, the ball was again
filed, and the revelers returned to their
merriment, which was kept up. until yes
terday morning at an hour when the work.
ing man rouses himself in preparation for
his daily labor, when that dance of all
dances, the Virginia Reel, wound up the
Arlington Club hop.
The affair was excellently managed, and
passed off most brilliantly. The following
are the names of the committees-viz..
Committee of Reception Messrs. A. j..
Rogers, Louis Frischkorn, and Valentine
Brown; Ballet Master, ]. W. Verlander ;

| TIE SHOCKING MURDER, IN HESRICo--
FURTHER PARrICULARs.1eWe add some
particulars to the notice Of the fearful
murder Of an unknown young white woman
IN henrico, published In this pspef yester-
day morning. ~ .o,s,,,. ~ a3tt3 rood
The body was found in Drinkers woods
not Dinker's. No one has vet recognized
It. 1t is that Of q young and oood leokine
white woman, and bears the ma rks of most
brutal treatment. Her straw. bonnet -vvss
tied on the head with a handksrchief psss-
ing under the chin. The handk rchief
was burned around hole, evidently made
by ball shot from pistol, which was held
so near the head as TO burn the handker-
chief. The ball did not enter the skull,
and must have glanced or rebounded. 1t
inflicted flesh wound to the bone. The
body bore marks Of severe blows about the
head and face, and the left shoulder was
broken or dislocatsd. There were besides
evident marks, of the most fendish out
rage of this haple0 young woman. A. she
was discovered, the left arm was under the
body and the right was stretched out, the
hand still grasping convulsivsly the dead
leaves from the ground, which were
clutched in the agony OF death. 10. q
The body had on breastpin with ini-
tials, only one letter Of which-a W
could be deciphered. There was no indi-
cation of struggle whore the body was
found, and opinion IL divided as to whe-
ther, the murder took place there or some
where else, the body being afterwards con-
veyed to where IL was found. Tracks were
discovered in the road hundred yards
from the place where the body was found
corresponding in shape and size TO the
shoes it had on and there were also the
tracks Of cart which had recently passed
along the road, which is very private
one, seldom used save by Mr.. Drinker and
one or two neighbors. I'D Ra4T
The body was discovered by Mr.. Drinker
and one or two hired men, who went into
the woods to get timber. The murder had
been committed, it Is supposed, two. or
three days before the body was discovered.
Mr.. George Turner is the oyerseer OF
the poor for the district, and took charge
of the body. 1t will be buried to-day un-
der his direction, after some further inves-
tigation and after all who are invited to be
present have seen it for the purpose Of
identifying, if possible, the ill-fated wo-
man. 6Is
This is certainly most dreadful murder.
It belongs to the order Of brutal and fiend-
ish murders which have been so rare in
our country that it may well startle us.
But few weeks since worthy white
woman was violated in the day time near
Ashland, and now we have this terrible
outrage and murder within few miles of
this city. 1t is condition of society new
and shocking to US, and it behooyes us to
increase our vigilance and our means for
the protection Of the community. Crimes
like these should be swiftly followed with
retribution. aEDut l, .eu. .,.t
