ARRIVAL OF COLONEL JOHNSON IS REMAINS
The remains of Colonel Thomas c. johnson,
late president of Randolph Macon College,
reached this city yesterday morning, and
were temporarily deposited in vault at
Hollywood Cemetery.
Colonel johnson was born in Nelson
county, Va, and received liberal educa-
ton, graduating at Randolph Macon Col
lege with the highest honors. Shortly after
his graduation, about twenty-five years ago,
he removed to st. Louis, and commenced
the practice of law. He soon reached a
high position in his profession, and WAS
elected to the Missouri Legislature. At the
commencement of the late war he espoused
the cause of the South, and gallantly fought
for rherindependence. Forsomet time hecom-
manded regiment in the field, but was af-
terwarls assigned to duty in the Quarter
masters Department, and Mt the close Of
hostilities was in charge of the large ma
chine shop at Columbus, Go. After the
war he taught school for time at Montgo-
merry, Ga, and from thence was called to
assume the presidency of his Alma Mater,
which post he resigned a few weeks ago.
At the time of his death he was in the West
making arrangements for the removal Of
his family. In all the relations of life
Colonel johnson sustained an enviable cha
racter. A man of strict integrity and de-
voted piety, dignifed gentleman and ac-
complished scholar, he was universally re-
spected, and his loss is truly public ca
lamity.
The only information his friends have in
regard to the cause of his death is contained
in the following press telegram from Terre
Haute, Indiana
ga man named Thomas Johnson was
killed at Mattoon on Saturday morning
about 8 o'clock. He was in the sleeping
car, which is backed on q running switch,
and left behind at that place. Ascertain
ing that the train had started, he ran to the
front end of the car and jumped out in
front, probably forgetting, in the excite
ment of the moment, that the car he was on
was still in motion. As he jumped out he
fell, and the car passed over him. The
brakes broke his back and otherwise mutt
lated him, causing injuries from which he
died in about two hours"

A SwINDLER CAUGHT-THE LINCOLN
DIoRAMA. .'-One of the many schemes de-
yised by hungry scalawags to fleece the
poor negro was brought to light in case
tried before the Hastings Court yesterday.
Strange that Commissioner Hatnbrick, who
is always around" did not get hold of the
offender before he was hauled up by the
grand jury: ........
George W. Groves, who boasts that he was
once Union soldier, and claims West Vir-
LIMA as his native State, was tried for OBJ
iaining money under false prctences by the
sale of spurious lottery tickets. The evl-
dence established the fact that Groves went
among the Richmond negroes claiming to be
the agent of lottery which he dignitied BY
the name of HThe Lincoln Diordma," es-
Lablshed by the United States Government
10 give the emancipated millions an oppor-
tunity of assisting in the erection of statue
to our " "martyr President" The prizes,
which were almost numberless, were TO con-
sist of articles Of clothing for males and te-
males confscated at the South, and valued
at from ten to sixty dollars each. The shares
in this enterprise were fixed cheap in order
that all might participate in the good work.
Fifty tshts IL change: or three for one dollar
cash in advance; prizes to be sent by
Adams's express on the 18th Of July. AZ
to Groves's compensation, of course no part
of the ticket mouey would 60 to him.
1t was labor of love in Groves. ...
So Groves laid his schemes before the
Richmond negro public, aud found ready
sale for his "chances." All went smoothly
until he came up with George Tyler and
Francis Johnson, who took shares to the
amount of three dollars, but kept watch OIL
the agent. Failing to get their goods by
the 18th of July, they had him arrested.
Hence the bursting of the bubble and the
disgust of several hundred Africans with
the (" Lincoln statue"
Groves was defended by General Hay
mond and A. W. Noise, Esq, but the legal
ability of these gentlemen did not prevent
his conviction. He was sentenced to seven
months imprisonment in the city Jail.
General Raymond made good point in HE
argument. lie saw no reason why this fel-
low should be sent to Jail for fleeing the
darkes out of three dollars, when 80 many
of his brother scalawags, equally guilty,
are not only allowed to go "scot iree," but
are holding high Office under the new
regime.

4 VENERABLE CITIZEN OF RICHMOND
VISITS His NATIVE TowN.-The Baltimore
Sun notices the presence in that city of our
venerable tOwnsman William Greanor, who
is a native Of Baltimore. In 1915 Mr..
Grea nor, then twenty-five years Of age,
emigra;ed 10 this city from Baltimore, and
mas resided here ever since, respected and
esteemed as worthy and upright citizen,
and, we are gratifed to add, n thrifty one.
Mr.. Creancr detailed to the Sut some OF
his recollecti0ns of Baltimore, which are
published in that paper, and which must
have interested the people Of that city. The
SIN concludes with this remark: Mr..
Greanor is still strong and vigorous man,
and being heartily sick Of the turmoil and
strife il Eirginia; seriously contenplates
making the ctty Of his youth ihe ho:ne Of
his old age" Such a change would be a
sad conclusion to happy old age. We beg
Mr.. Greanor not to think of it. Here are
his fortune, his friends, the scenes OF nearly
three-tourths of his lie. He could not be
content to leave them, and they could not be
content to part with him. "The turmoil !"
will soon be over-Baltimore is rich enough
without impoverishing Richmond to in
crease her store. Let us hang together, Mr..
Greanor. Better days are near. You VILE
enjoy many festive scene in bright and
prosperous Richmond before the final sum.
mons. Well bet on that

ASSAULT AND BATTERY.-Joseph Kelly
was before the Police Court yesterday
alderman PEBBLES presiding) on the COM
plaint Of a negro man named Robert
Spriggs, who charged him with an unlawful
assault. Colonel Marmaduke johnson ap-
peared for the accused. .. .,..
Spriggs testified that as he was going
through the Old Market at about 8 3o'clock
Tuesday morning he passed several white
men who were lounging around the market
stalls. They hailed him, and told him to
come there. He refused to obey, and
walked on, whereupon he was followed by
one of the party, whom he recognized as
Kelly. The others followed. Kelly came
up to him and demanded to know what he
had said just now. Witness replied, " No
thing" end was called a"d- m liar"
Somebody unknown then struck him, and
he ran, Kelly firing a pistol after him as he
fed. Witness ran towards Broad street,
and meeting q policeman, told him of the
occurrence, and went to the station-house
to secure help for the arrest of his assail-
ants. While there he was himself arrested
for attempting to shoot another negro.
On cross examination, Sp11ggs said he
did not know what policeman tie met, or
what captain of police he saw at the sta
ton, but recognized Kelly, although he saw
him but for a moment. J.C. Clark and
James Fry, two of his witnesses, said they
did rot know thing about the case.
Charles Cline, who was called for the de-
fence, was taking nap in the market about
the time the atfray occurred. He heard
Sprigcs and another negroin high dispute.
Spriggs called the other a ga d Con-
seryatiye ,,-something or other. Did not
see Kelly or any other white man about.
: The Alderman thought the evidence in
sufficient to sustain the charge, and there
fore dismissed the case. EHF5
