PRESIDENT JOHNSON IN RIcHMoND-
WHEN He ARRIvEs-HOw LONG He STOPs
BY telegram received yesterday from
Washington, we learn that President John
son will leave that city on Sunday morn
ing next on one of the Aqua Creek steam
ers, and will arrive in this city at IL p.
NJ. by the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac railroad. Rooms have been pre-
pared for his reception at the Spotswood
Hotel, where he will remain during Sunday
night, taking the early morning train for
Petersburg en- route for Raleigh.
He will be met at the depot by the COM
mittee of reception of the City Council,
the Mayor of the city, General Scho6eld
and staff, and others. Although the day
will be inappropriate for any formal popu-
lar demonstration, there will yet be large
turnout of our citizens. 1t is understood
that committee of the Council will meet
the President at Aqua creek and accom-
pany him to the city.

A New Orleans Judge recently passed
sentence of death upon negro for rape on
the person Of white woman, subject TO
"the approval Of the commanding general
OF the district" General Sheridan re-
turned it with the endorsement that he be-
lieyes the sentence should be executed,
but did not see why his approval was re-
quired.
The news of Queen Victoria's mediation
between France and Prussia is said to have
caused rapid rise in the price of white
oak slaves in West Virginia. The French
and Spanish wine merchants are supplied
largely with this wood for wine casks from
that region, and the trade is thereby pc
culiarly sensitive to the fluctuations in
Europe.

FLORAL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF
THE HOLLYWOOD DAsSoCIATIoN.-The ladies
unite tomorrow in paying their second
annual floral tribute to the memory Of the
Confederate heroes whose bodies are in
tered in the shades of Hollywood. No
word Of ours is needed in commendation
of task so noble, so touchiDgly beautiful,
for it is spontaneous tribute of gratitude
and affection from the living to the dead
a heartfelt offering, prompted only by the
patriotic sentiments which are evinced in
every act Of the women of the South.
The same gentle hands which tomorrow
pluck the rose and evergreen, and scatter
blossoms over the mounds in Hollywood,
a few years ago pressed the aching brow
and smoothed the pillow Of the suffering
soldier, and by thousand gentle atten-
tions frightened his pathway to the grave.
Noble is the work which our ladies have
thus determined year by year to perform
Let us all, then, unite in the observance
of day already consecrated to the me-
mory of the dead; and while we are true
to union Of love, and earnestly desire
the advent of lasting peace, let us never
forget the gratitude which we owe to those
whose breasts for us were barred, and whose
blood for us was shed. Let every person
in the city send to-day wreath, a blossom,
or bud, to deck the patriots grave.
Grace church, on the corner of Foushee
and Main streets, will be open all day to
receive contributions, and the committee
cordially invite the cooperation of ladies
in all parts of the city to assist in their
labor of love.

A CowARDLY AssAULT.-On the night
of the 18th instant, as Mr.. Richard f.
Frayser, peaceable citizen, well known
and respected in the community, and
an attachf of the Dispatch office, was
walking up Franklin street in the vicinity
of Metropolitan Hall, he was approached
by man named Miley Johnson, who en-
gagged his attention in moments CONVEX
sation while villain stepped up behind
and dealt him severe blow upon the back
of the head, telling him instantly to the
earth. Mr.. Frayser was completely stun
ned; but the rascals, not yet satisfied,
Jumped upon their fallen victim and
dealt him series of kicks and blows
without mercy. Having accomplished their
cowardly purpose, man known as Joe
Kelly, who has achieved some distinc-
tion in our police records, came upon
the scene in the role of good Samaritan
and lifted Mr.. Frayser to his feet, at the
same time introducing himself as Kelly,
the man who murdered Murphy" In the
mean time the assailants escaped and a
crowd collected, but no one attempted to
follow the fugitives. A warrant was on
the next day issued for the arrest of Miley
SSl pCih6 uhobiS w ~
cognize the other man who had attacked
him. Subsequently Mr.. Moses Tiernay was
arrested upon evidence received by Captain
Poe, who was indefatigable in his efforts TO
overtake the criminals. The parties were
brought before the Mayors Court, and
the evidence heard by Recorder Reg
nault, who presided, on Tuesday last, and
sufficient proof was adduced TO JUS
tify the Recorder in sending them to
the grand jury, but as the counsel for Tier
nay desired continuance, no decision
was made until yesterday, when several
witnesses having been brought forward to
prove the general good character of the
accused, both parties were sent on, bail
being required in the sum of s4OO, and
5000 security to keep the peace. Mr..
Tiernay gave bail, but Johnson, being un-
able to do so, was remanded to Jail.
Too much credit cannot be given Cap
tain Poe for his efforts to ferret out the
offenders In this case for while it was an
outrageous assault, there was little evil
dence to identify the party who struck the
blow,

PARDoNs.-The Governor on yesterday
pardoned Thomas Newman, colored, con.
victed in the Circuit Court of Roanoke
county, and sentenced to the penitentiary
for twelve years.
John Smith, convicted in Richmond city
in 1869 of robbery, and sentenced for four
years.
Robert Fl. Ashby, convicted in the Hus.
tings Court Of Richmond of petit larceny.
James Birch, convicted in Nansemond
county of manslaughter, in 1860, and SEN
fenced for twelve years.
William B. Mays, convicted in Lynch
burg of horse-stealing, and sentenced for
five years.
George Gillet, colored, convicted in
Richmond of larceny, and sentenced for
five years.
Daniel Lawson, colored, convicted in
Orange county of larceny, and sentenced
for three years.
Jesse Seely, convicted in Jackson coun-
ty, in 1860, Of manslaughter, and sentenced
for fifteen years.
Sarah latham, convicted in Accomac
county of murder in the second degree,
and sentenced for five years.
1t is proper, in connection with the
aforesaid pardons, to state that most of
them were made upon the recommenda-
ton of the superintendent and surgeon Of
the penitentiary, and the Senate commit
tee, for the reason that the parties par
doned were constant inmates of the hos
pital, unfit for the prison, and in condi-
tion rendering them harmless outside. One
of them was deranged.

HEAVY RAMA gentleman residing in
the vicinity of Gaines's mill, Hanover
county, informs us that the rain of last Sat-
urday night extended through all that Sec
tion, and was unprecedentedly heavy. For
over two hours, at repeated intervals, the
waters descended with copiousness that
literally washed up much of the young
corn, and caused the streams to overflow
their banks. The Chickahominy ragged
like unto a western stream, and much OF
the lowlands on its margin was submerged.
A great deal of the young corn which has
been ruined by this food may be replanted,
but it is feared that the wheat has been
irreparablY injured.

JAMES RIVER AND KANAwHA CANAL
MEETING OF THE DIRECTORs.-A meeting
of the Board of Directors of the James
River and Kanawha Canal Company was
held yesterday morning at the office of the
company. The following gentlemen were
present: Messrs. C.. S. Darlington, presi-
dent; S. c. Tardy, II. Coalter Cabell,
Franklin Stearns.
A contract to keep in repair the turn
pike betweenCovington and Charlestown,
West Virginia, was awarded to A. D. Trot-
ter. The contract requires Mr.. Trotter to
keep in order the road from Covington to
the White Sulphur Springs until 1870, and
the balance of the road until 1880. Having
been in a bad state of repair for years, the
travelling public will be pleased to learn
that steps have been taken to put it in
complete order.
No other business of public importance
was transacted.

EARLY CLosING.-It is gratifying to no.
tice that many Of our leading merchants
have determined to adopt the plan of clo-
sing their establishments at an hour which
will allow their employees some leisurefor
recreation. The system has been adopted
In northern cities, and we have yet TO hear
the first complaints against its fruits. After
day spent from early morn behind the
counter, in the sultry air of counting
room or store, young men need an hour or
two to stretch their limbs, and should have
it. The employers cannot lose much Gus
tom in the time between ca and ~
O'Clock; and If 1t Is generally adopted,
nothing can bs lost BY anybody.

MAJOR PARRAN's LEcTURE.-Wheni it was
announced that the Major had selected
" Woman +" as his theme, we felt doubtful
of his ability to grapple with so knotty .
subject; but all doubt was removed when,
on Tuesday night, he took up the fair
creature and displayed her charms to an
admiring audience. But her "peculiari-
ties" were also noticed, and the manner
in which these were discussed led us to
believe that the lecturer is indeed vete-
ran in the wars of Venus. As he was evil
dently conversant with all their tempting
peculiarities, as well as their follies, upon
which all men are inclined to look with a
forgiving eye, We were disposed to wonder,
being strangers to the speaker, that his
success has been more encouraging than
ours with the maidens, who are so
Uncertain, coy, and hard to please"

sRECoNsTRUCTIoN s.-Seventy
thousand dollars of the $500, 200 appropri-
ated by Congress to pay the expenses of
carrying into effect the reconstruction acts
have been sent to Colonel T. Fl. Stanton,
paymaster of this district, and he has COM
menced disbursing it. The balance of the
appropriation has been sent to the other
districts. 1t is estimated that at least
s25O,0OO will be required for Virginia, so
that the sum of $4,000 will be scarcely
one-third of the amount needed here, and
until Congress makes further appropria-
ton, the Secretary of the Treasury cannot
provide the deficit. 1t is believed that the
finances of the Government will necessi-
tate meeting of Congress in July.
