went on; with al of those who now cor
daily accept, as the estai lished theory Of
the Constitution, that me Union is un-
severable, and who will stand by and
defend the Constitution as interpreted by

views as to the present and the future

GREYsoN STARrs.-Mark Greyson the
pedestrian made spirited speech yester-
day morning to an audience assembled in
the City Hall. He had fine voice and good
delivery, though a plain-looking man, and
was severe in his. denunciGtions Of carpet
baggers and scalawags. He was frequently
cheered. r,,. ...g..,. ..-~
In the evening at o'clock Greyson
started from the City Hall on his tramp to
Omaha, Nebraska, bearing aloft a large
white flag inscribed " Democracy" Before
he started he read the telegram from Wash

Many citizens crowded around, and wished
him good luck.

THE WHIsKEY-FRAUD PRISONERS At
THEIR DESTINATION - THEIR PLACE OF
CONFINEMENT. - United States Marshals
Van Wrinkle and Lynham have returned
from Albany, N. T., whittier they went III
charge Of Anderson, Patterson, Gouldman,
and Elsom, convicted in this city some
weeks ago of conspiracy to defraud the
Government of the tax on whiskey. Mr..
Lynham took the conyicts to New York city,
where he was joined by Mr.. Van Winkle,
and they went together by railroad to the
capital, where the penitcntiary is situated.
Marshal Lynham gives an interesting ac-
count of the trip, the prison, and the de-
mcanor of the prisoners. The latter were
visited, before they left Richmond, by
scores of relatives and friends, who ex-
pressed deep sympathy for them in their
downfall. On their way they appeared
still hopeful of some relief, if not by par
don, of going to place where the discipline
would not be severe, hard work exact
ed, or close confinement required. The
officers treated them as kindly as their
duty would permit, and at Albany gave
them fine dinner ut the hotel. They
were then driven out to the penitcntiary,
and placed in charge Of General Pilsbery,
the veteran commandment, by whom they
were at once assigned to quarters. Here
the convicts completely broke down, seem
ing to believe that with the departure of
the Marshals ended their communication
with the outside world, or Mt least with
home. They were at once obliged to sub
nit to the cropping of their hair, prepara-
tory to assuming the prison uniform, which
consists, not of our Old Virginia broad
striped domestic, but Of a jacket of black
stuff, gray pants, and cap and shoes OF pc
culiar pattern.
The Albany penitentiary was originally
under the entire control of county authori-
ties, by whom General Pilsbery was chosen
rs the superintendent but within the last
six years its character and objects have
undergone material change. On the
breaking out of the war the United States
Government entered into an arrangement
with the Albany penitentiary by which the
latter engaged to receive all prisoners SEN
fenced for crimes and misdemGanOrs in the
District of Columbia. As the war pro-
gresscd, the penitentiary also became the
receptacle of large number of prisoners
of State, and by this means mere loca!
institution has risen in effect to the dignity
and consideration of United States prison.
1t is n paying institution, every convict
being put to labor at trade. The Rich
mond prisoners will probably be placed in
the shoemaking department, in which
there is very large number Of operatives.
Everything is neat about the prison the
discipline mild but firm the fare good.
Mr.. Lynham saw during his sojourn at
the penitentiary Callicot and Devlin, the
New York whiskey-fraud convicts. CALI
cot was once speaker of the lower House of
the New York Legislature, and in that ca
pacity once visited the prison in which he
is now confined. Dcylin is Il millionaire
of the metropolis. The former is now sick
in the hospital, and the latter is doing duty
us q nurse in the same branch of the cstab-
lishment.

NEW CITY RAILWAY CARs.-Two of the
g fare-box cars " will be put upon the
track of the city railway this morning.
One of these cars was made by Mr.. George
\. Ainslie, of this city, and the other, one
of those formerly in use, has been altered
to suit the new plan. The other cars will
be taken off one ut o time and altered as
rapidly as possible. The alteration con-
sists in shortening their length, removing
one of the platforms, ETC., and putting in
the boxes in which the fare is deposited.
The quality of the work on those two
which have been finished fully attests the
skill Of Mr.. Ainslie in this department Of
industry. We are glad TO be able to state
that our people have at last learned that
work can be done as well and MS cheaply
here, and by, our own mechanics, as it can
be done elsewhere.
Mr.. Ainslie will remodel all the cars and
build any new ones that the extension OF
the line or the increased patronage Of the
road will require. We feel sure that the
cities of the South where these railroads are
in use could not get elsewhere o finer,
better, or more durable article than ID
manufactured by Mr.. Ainslie. We are glad
that this company has set the example OF
patronizing our own workmen, thus keep
ing in this State the money which would
otherwise be sent to enrich persons beyond
its limits.

THE MISSING F0UNTAIN.-1n our issue Of
yesterday mention was made of the fact
that the people of Church Hill were COM
planning of the removal of the fountain
near the corner of Twenty and Grace
streets, which has for several years past
supplied many thirsty people with draughts
of pure cold water. 1t seems that the
property adjacent is now occupied by the
Sisters of Charity, who have made the re-
moval with the best motiyes-to free the
pupils of their academy from the nuisance
occasioncd by the assemblage of noisy
crowd of negroes about the fountain. Ap-
preciating the motives of the Sisters, we
agree to the suggestion that the city autho-
rites should perpetuate the supply Of water
to the public in the same locality by ex-
tending the pipes and reGrecting the hydrant

BURGLARS ARRESTED AND Sent on FOR
TRIAL.-On the night of the Goth of June
the store of the Tredegar Company was
broken open, and q lot of dry goods and
notions to the value Of about $500 was
stolen thcrefrom. There was little clue to
the identity of the burglars, but through
the efforts of Captain Epps, on Monday
last three young men were arrested as the
parties. These were John Rose, William
Ii. Thackcr, and William 3. Winston.
On their arraignment before the Mayor
yesterday it appeared from the evidence
that Winston and Rose had offered some of
the plumber for sale to Mr.. Gentry, and
that Captain Epps had found about fifty
dollars worth of it in the possession Of
Winston and Thackcr. They were sent on
for trial, bail in the sum Of 200 each
being allowed.

City CoUSCIL--CALLED MEETING.-A
called meeting of the City Council was held
Yesterday afternoon. Present: Messrs.
Macfarland (president), Clinton, Ciopton,
Crutchfeld, Humphreys, Kent, Miller, Pc
louze, Sharp, Saunders, Van Lew.
The Poor.
Mr.. Yale offered resolution requesting
the assistance of the Freedmen's Bureau in
supporting the poor Of the city. Laid on
the table.
Petitions Referred.
Petitions from julius A. Hobson (request-
ing compensation for recent services as City
Collcctor), John Ii. Lohman, William Adol-
phus, The Richmond Railway Company,
Jeremiah Willis, and Alexander Ruther-
ford, were read and appropriately referred.
Pay Of Discharged Policemen.
Mr.. Saunders presented letter from
Major Poe, Chief of Police, requesting that
the policemen discharged by Mayor Cha
hoon be placed upon the same footing as
other salaried officers of the city, and their
pay be allowed for the month during which
they were dismissed. These men, Major
Poe held, were equally deserving and pro-
badly more in want than the other officers
.allldcd to.
Mr.. Saunders moved that the request of
Major Poe be granted, and supposed there
would be no objection.
Mr.. Kent objected, if the policemen
were discharged early in the month.
Mr.. Sharp was opposed to setting q bad
precedent. He did not think that the rcso-
luton referred to by Major Poe alluded to
police officers. ,..,-.t@~
The communication was finally referred
to the Committee on Police.
Free Schools.
In the course of the debate on the police
matter, Mr.. Humphreys spoke of % extra
ordinary and unheard of expenses"
Mr.. Saunders said that these were not the
extraordinary expenses to which allusion
should be made. A most extraordinary
expense had been incurred by the Council,
however, when few days ago, in palpable
violation of the rules, n resolution was
passed devoting an untimited amount to the
establishment of free schools.
Mr.. Sharp denied that the amount voted
was unlimited.
The record sustained Mr.. Saunders, who,
rcsuming, said that the money referred to
was to be disbursed ad lDitum by three
men. He called gentlemen's attention to
the fact that those resolutions repealed an
ordinance which could only be modified or
repealed in certain way.
Mr.. Humphreys thought o resolution was
IN ordinance.
Mr.. Macfarland had received letter
from General Stoneman on this very sub
jcct, requesting u copy of the resolutions
voting $50 900 for educational purposes. 1t
was his intention to forward the resolutions
passed to the General with the statement
that no particular amount had been spe-
cited.
Mr.. Saunders then moved to reconsider
the resolutions of the Council in relation to
free schools.
The motion was carried, and the resolu
tons were then recommitted to the original
committee.
\ resolution Of Mr.. Crutchfeld, limiting
the expenditure in the establishment Of
free schools to $4,000, was afterwards with
drawn.
The Council then adjourned.
