LADIES' RIGHTS IN THE STREET CARS
LAP DOGS OBJECTIONABLE.-FO the benefit
of ladies who carry lap dogs when they
ride in the street cars, we give the follow
ing extract from a speech delivered in this
city by an eminent citizen of color few
days since:
"My brethren and fellow-citizens,-I
now comes to another pint. You all raised
big fuss here not long ago when you was
talking bout ridin in street cars. Now, |
gwine tell you an antidote, an jess want
you TO lissen minnit or so. Well, as |
was gwine on to say, one day l was
walking down the street, an as | was
walking down the street | thought to
myself, now | got a spare ten cents, an
b'licve Ill ride. SO in ! goes into a
car, an it want no whitehall car neither
it was niggers' car. Now, maybe some
O you all don't like for me to say 'niggers'
car but | will say it dough, cause you is
niggers. I'se niger, an black one too,
an Pse proud of it. You all is niggers.
You is Jess as much niggers as a OrriSh-
man is Orrishman an as Dutchman Is
a Dutchman. But, as | was coutinuin on
to say, got into the car, an as was about
to take my seat, spied white lady in the
tother end of the car, an she had sumpin
in her lap. look, an l look, an 1 look
again, an | see she had a white dog
in her lap. riz right up out Of
my seat an l went right straight
to the conductor, and | sez, seq l, Mr.
Conductor, jest want to say sumpin to
you. Now, you all won't let me ride in
dc whitehall car, an when | rides in dis
ar finds white CONAN in herewith a
dog in her lap. Now, jess wants you &c
glib me my money back, gwine git out
/ amt gwine to ride in no Car with wo'
man whar got dog in her lap"
That's right, old man, don't ride in the
street cars with any woman who carries
lap dog. The lady who can't leave heI
lap dog at home deserves to ride in the
street cars alone.

RECoRDER's Court RECORDER REG
NAULT PRESIDING-TUEsDAY.-The con-
tnued case of Charles Brown, charged
with stealing a watch from VIM. G. John
son, was called up.
Counsellor WOotten appeared, and an
nounccd that, despite representations that
had been made TO the contrary, he had
Just been retained as counsel in this case.
He would be ready to 60 into the case as
soon as "Chief Justice Allen" could be
obtained to prove the character of the ac-
cused.
1t would be just here to state that Mr..
Wootten had no competitor in obtaining
this client. When Brown was first ar
raigned before the Mayor Mr.. Hancock
had a position near him, which led us to be-
lieve he was in the pursuit Of his business.
lie assures us that he was not, however,
and that he had nothing to do with or to
say to Brown.
After an elaborate and rigid croSs-eXami-
nation of witnesses. on the part of the
counsel for the defendant a case was
proven, and Brown was sent on TO answer
indictment.
John Train, colored, was arraigned for
assaulting and beating his wife, Patsy
Train. John, as his wife showed very con-
clusively, was faithleSs to her, and sup
ported with his labor another woman, and
when Mrs. Train questioned him about it
he assaulted her. He was required to give
surety for his future good behavior.
Jacob Bugg, colOred, was arraigned for
assaulting and beating his wife, Mary Bugg.
Here was another case Of an obStrcperous
and negligent husband. Mr.. Bugg had a
fashion, it appeared, Of going OFT at night
and staying until unreasonable hours, and
Mrs. Bugg Of course exercised an un-
questionable right Of asking Bugg how
dare he take himself off from his wife and
stay away all night! Was this right! Was
that proper, Mr.. Bugg! Mr.. Bugg's reply
was a brickbat thrown with some force
against Mrs. Bugg's back. He then aimed
a hatchet at the leaves part " of her head =,
and but for a strategic dodge and we'll
stuffed waterfall the whole Of that part of
her head would have been torn of.
The Recorder informed Bugg that he
had been guilty of violent assault on his
wife, which might (but for her materially
have resulted in her death.
Mr.. Bugg said that had she been killed
she would have died for the sake of his
passion, which was uncomfortable, and
which had troubled him for some weeks.
Brigg was sent on to answer indictment.

A RUNAWAY on MAIN srREET.-On
Monday afternoon, as four-seat buggy,
with two spirited horses attached, and car
rying precious load Of ladies, was pro-
ceeding up Main street, the tongue OF the
buggy suddenly came out, and the horses
taking fright, ran of, pulling the buggy by
the traces from the Mansion House to Lo-
Gust alley. The refractory animals were
finally caught by consderate colored
gentleman-no hero presenting himself to
make scene. The ladies, however, were
carried in a half fainting condition into a
neighboring store, and under the influence
of stimulating draughts of wine were soon
able to resume their afternoon ride.

FESTIVAL AT SHADY-GRoyE CHURCH, IN
HANOvER.-The ladies connected with this
church purpose holding a festival on the
Fourth of July, in order to raise funds to
repair their house of worship. This very
laudable effort on the part of the ladies de-
serves to be literally patronized by our
citizens.
Shady Grove is only short drive from
the city, and there will be plenty OF good
things to eat, besides the scores Of pretty
girls who will be walters on the occasion.
Rev. John +. Edwards, ID. D., is expected
to be present, and will deliver an address.
The cars on the Central road leave Rich
mond at S o'clock A. NJ, and return at 4
Pm. Get off at Atlee's station, which Is
only q few steps from the church.

BosToS on PRESIDENTS Boston compares
we'll with ill.natured, malignant, and uncom-
promising Philadelphia. She pays very mark
ed honor TO the President. And while we do
not suppose she is very sincere, we think there
is much credit due those who assume a virtue
though they have 1t not. II shows, in this
case at least, respect for public decency and
social duty in the matter of courtesy and hos
pitality. Few communities have been more
bitter in partisanry than that of Boston. Yet
Bostonians have paid respect TO all the Pres.
dents-carrying their demonstrations occa-
sonaily TO the excess of sycophancy and full
sOmeness. Nowhere was Old Hick ory more
reviled than in Bos ton, where his head, which
Commodore ELLIOTT had stuck on the frigate
Constitution, was cut of in the night, TO the
general JOY of the whole community. Yet
General JACKSON was welcomed by them with
great pomp and circumstance, and Harvard
bestowed upon him the title of doctor of
Laws an honor his best friends considered
entirely undeserved. Nevertheless syco-
phant or what not, she shows well by the
side of the " City of Brothcrly Love"

The TrRF.-The great race course of the
New York fashiOnablcs the Jerome Park is
having wonderful success. All the newly
elevated aristocrats that have lifted their
heads above the mushroom beds of Wall
street are ambitious TO belong to the chival-
ry-the horse -admiring and horse talking peo-
pie; so, through this sort of ambition, Jerome
Park is h"urishing. The races are said TO draw
10000 people day, onc-t third ladies but a
New York journal suggests this multitude
merely turn out for a holiday, TO show off
themselves and meet friends, having AT best,
we suppose, n very poor appreciation Of that
nOblcr animal the horse beyond Il fast trotter.

FLoGGIHG IS THE ARMY.-The philanthro'
psts have a windfall in some severe punish
mcnts and logging in the army. A letter from
The Old California Crossing states that one
Lieutenant LAUTA, OF company +, has revived
logging, etc. He had bucked and gagged q
man on the 18th, laid another out "spread-
eagle" fashion OF the ground, TO be broiled by
the sun and eaten by buffalo Snats for two
hours, and on the 18th a citizen received 100
lashcs for giving a bottle of whisky TO two
soldiers. This last was approved by Colonel
DoDGB., This is material for 80 editorials, 300
pulpit discourses, and 1900 memorials to Con.

SANITARY.-Promin citizens have
called our attention to the bad condition
Of several lots on Grace between Third
and Fourth streets, occasioned by all ac-
cumulation of water and garbage, which,
in the absence of requisite channels, can
not escape, as the nearest cGlvert is re-
moved perhaps one hundred and fifty
yards. AS this unhealthy state Of things
is calculated to engender disease, We
would suggest that the sanitary authori-
ties have a thorough examination of the
matter, and have the nuisance complained
of promptly abated.

A BRILLIANT MATRIMONIAL Event.
The First Baptist church Of this city was
crowded last evening by one Of the largest
and most fashionable audiences ever as
sembled within its walls. The occasion
was one Of surprising interest. 1t wit
messed the matrimonial union Of Rev. j.
L. NJ. Curry, of Alabama, and Miss Mary
Workman Thomas, the amiable and accom-
plished daughter Of James Thomas, Esq,
of this city. The holy and interesting
rites were solemnized by the Rev. J. l..
Burrows, D. D., assisted by the Rev.
William D. Thomas, brother Of the bride,
and at present residing in Greenville,
South Carolina. Several other members
of the clerical profession were present.
Among them we noticed the Reys. MesSrs.
Hume, senior and junior.
The happy groom on this interesting oc-
casion enjoys most enviable and world
wide fame, having served in both the Fed
eral and Confederate Congress with such
distinguished ability as to elicit from Hon.
Horace Greeley the extraordinary compli-
ment that he possessed all the brains of
the entire Alabama delegation" His ac-
complished bride, moving in the proper
sphere vi WOUldn, II HOt 81 NIuely, DuI HO
lady in the city or State is more fayorably
known to q very extended circle of ac-
quaintances and deeply attached friends.
The bridal party left Richmond last
night for New York, where they remain
until Saturday next, when they will take
the steamer for Europe. They expect TO
make a continental tour, and Of course
among other objects Of interest will visit
the great Exposition at Paris.
They will be accompanied in their ocean
voyage by the Rev. Dr.. Samson, of Column
bian College, Washington; Rev. Dr.. Will
liams, of the First Baptist church, Balti-
more Rev. Professor Thomas Hume, late
of Petersburg, but now of the Danville
(Va.) Female College; Professor Hunting
ton, of Columbian College Rev. 7. W.
Tobey, Of Alabama Rev. William D..
Thomas, of Greenville, S. c., and several
lady friends. Never before, perhaps, has
the broad Atlantic borne upon its bosom a
more precious freight than will navigate
her blue waters on this interesting voy-
age. May propitious skies and prosperous
winds watt them onward.

WHITE MEN WAKING UP.-At last the
white men Of Monroe Ward are waking up,
and We are to have a vigilance committee
to look into the frauds which are evidently
being pcrpetrated in their midst by the
registration Of nonresident negroes. Up
to the close of the books last evening 2 1893
black voters had been listed. Now, every
citizen Of the ward knows that there are
not more than from LOO to 1900 black
men over twenty-onc years OF age in i.
They have already registered more blaC'is
in this single ward than Mr.. Dabncy NJ.
Miller, the city assessor, could find in the
whole city this spring for taxation. We
do not believe that Captain Rose, the re-
giStering officer, has knowingly admitted
single name of black or white that was not
entitled to register. He tried to get intel
Iigent and impartial white persons to act
as chalcngers, but tried in vain and the
white men Of the ward have themselves to
blame that they did not secure the
services and have at the registering
Office daily such persons as were well
acquainted with the colOred residents,
and could have kept off the large num-
bers that have come in from other wards
duu llOH tIlc Couhtls w IcSlolCi' ho IL
is, we are pleased to know that an ener-
getic vigilance committee are going to
work to call at every house in the ward,
and make a complete alphabetical list OF
every man--white and black-over TWEEN
ty-one years of age. In this way they will
be able to detect and expose the frauds
which have been committed, and bring
every man who has improperly registered
to the punishment which the law inilicts.
Let vigilance committees be at once or
ganizcd in every ward, not to keep legal
voters of any color away from the regis
tering office, but to see that none but
those legally entitled to register are ad-
mitted.

ANOTHER CASE OF DROwSlSG.-On Mon
day afternoon several little boys bathing
in the river began to make foolish trials of
skill at swimming in deep water. One of
them, named James, an adopted son Of
Mr.. Francis J. Boone, being exhausted by
an extra effort, was carried far away from
his companions, and as he has not been
heard from, it is supposed that he was
drowned. The body had not been reco-
vered at late hour last evening.

IMPROVEMENT on MAIN sTREET-NEw
BUILDING on THE CUsTOM-HouSE LOT.-
Mr.. John c. Shafer, having commenced
the work preparatory to erecting three
large and fine stores on the cuStOm-house
lot, corner of Tenth and Main streets we
have obtained from the architect, Mr.. AL
bert Lybrock, the following brief S ketch
of the buildings:
The proposed house will cover an area
of sixty by eighty feet. The front on
Main street, having width Of fifty feet,
will be sub divided into rooms OF size
suitable for banking establishments. The
principal entrance on Main street will be
by means Of wide granite steps, and from
this door broad staircase will lead to the
upper stories. Another door will open on
Tenth street. The basement will be ar
ranged in such manner that it can at any
time be thrown into one large room, OBJ
tanning light and ventilation from all sides.
Coal vaults, closets, patent lights, and
other modern improvements, will make
this part of the building complete. The
height of the first story will be fourteen
feet, and it will be finished off in the best
style, the windows and doors being fur
nished with the finest French plate glass.
The two upper stories will be twelve
feet high, and these, too, will be fitted up
in the most approved style. A large hall
in the centre of these stories will be light
ed by skylight so constructed as to give
ample light and ventilation to the whole
building. AS an opera-house or concert
room this hall will present more attrac-
tions than any similar establishment in the
city, and will supply deSideratum long
wished for by the citizens Of Richmond.
Twenty offices of good size, and with fire.
places and gas, will be arranged on the
upper floors.
The front Of the building will be Of gran
ite and brick work, built in neat and sub
stantial style. All the sill courses, plinths,
blocks, door and window sills, will be OF
fine cut-granite. Gas and water will be
carried to all parts of the building. Mr..
Albert Lybrock is the designing architect,
and West & Brothers are the contractors.
We hope that the work will be pushed
rapidly forward, as the building, when
completed, will add much to the fine ap-
pearance Of the portion of the city in
which it will be situated.
