According to the disclosures Of the. Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, the Inauguration ball at Washington
was broken up in consequence of the discov-
cry Of 2 "Copper-head plot to send to Phil
adelphia and import 9 dozen op tgo couples
of the most aristooratic darkies Of that city,
and to provide them with tickets to the in
auguration ball, and thus to test the princi
pie Of negro equality in Radical social life.
The discovery Of this scheme Of copperhead
traitors, made it necessary that some strong
reason should be given the public why the
affair could not 60 on. There seemed to
be nothing SO available f9r The purpose as to
fall back on the wishes Of the President

RIGHTS OF RAILROAD PASSENGERS. The
case of Judge Goddard ys the Grand
Trunk Railway Company was decided at
Portland on Tuesday. The facts are thus
recorded by the Portland Argus:
"Judge Goddard purchased a ticket to
Danville Junction, and started to visit his
family, thep residing in Auburn. The af-
ternoon train WAS very long, and, as usual,
one jackson was detailed TO take the tickets
of passengers leaving the train before the
regular conductor came through. Judge
Goddard, having some business at Falmouth,
stepped out, and upon the request Of Jack
son handed him his ticket. Upon bis re-
turn, jackson again approached where he
was sitting and demanded Ais ticket, and
upon Judge Goddard's replying thathe gave
it to him when be left the car, told the
Judge that he lied. and falling into an I'M
governable passion. committed an assault
upon him, shaking his fists in his face,
threatening to beat out his brains, and using
the most profane language. He continued
this for some twenty minutes. when the
train approached Cumberland, and he desis-
ted. For this outrage Judge Gaddard
brought an action, and the verdict Of the
jury, of $3.50, will serve as lesson to
corporations t. employ such servants as will
respect the rights Of passengers and will
protect them from outrage and personal
abuse"

til the anniversary of the resurrection of

By tbs Anglican and Episcopal Churches
the fast Of Lent is observed but i'll q modi-

and an intermission from gaiety and pleasure
is recommended in order that more time NAV
be devoted to religious reflection and public
devotion, the churches being frequently open
for the latter purpose. The services throug Oh
out Lent are Of q steadily-increasing solemn
character; and it is thought that the season
greatly tends to spiritual good and religious

The Virginia Express Company Robbery
Confession.

A man named Potts, the brother in-law Of
King, has made the following confession in
connection with the Virginia Express rob-
berry, at Norfolk, The Day Book says: IL
.'On Wednesday evening he came before
the Mayor, and turned States evidence by
making a written affidavit to the effect that
King, on the evening preceding the morn
ing Of the so-callcd robbery, gave him ST.
800 as his dividend Of the $4,000 stolen,
and inflicted on himself slight wound on
his head with Ratchet. That he, all pre-
meditated, started by himself as preconcer-
ted, for the veritable locality where he raised
'hue, theand cry and represented that he had
been knocked down and robbed. What sub
sequently followed, up to within the last two
or three days, is well known to the public.
"Potts, it will be remembered, was ar
rested on the same day in company with
King and Maud Delereaux, upon suspicion,
but was afterwards discharged. What ac-
ton will be taken in his case now awaits TO
be seen. This morning general examina-
ton Of the parties will, it is expected, take
place before the Mayor, when the whole thing
may be arrived at more explicitly.
''Potts, we understand, is cognizant of the
whereabouts Of most of the money, which he
has promised to reveal. This last deneu-
ment establishes beyond refutation the guilt
of King and his mistress Maud Deleraux,
and confirms the prediction made by US in
the outset" IKE
1t was said yesterday afternoon that King,
thou0h he had cnnfessAd HE oru;lf wauld nj
divulge the hiding place Of the money; which
he intends, nc doubt, ifpossible. boarding
up for rainy day, or preserving as kind
of nest-egg to serve him should he survive
protracted term in the prison-house.
Potts is still in durance vile, where ii is
likely he will remain until brought into re-
QUESTION to render bis evidence against
King.

rived here last evening on the train from
Petersburg, and was spirited away" for

duced great GOODNESS between him and the
leading Radicals. The fact is, we our
selves are utterly aghast at the good we have
done, and if any thing good turns up in the
next twenty years you may safely ascribe it
to our action, and if there is amy mishap il
will result from the foolish habit which some
Yirginians auiW not abandon Of saying that
their souls are their own. @
P. S:---We may stay to the Inaugura-
tion Ball. Col F tells us that great deal
of good may be accomplished by our doing
SO, and he promises that the band shall be
instructed to play every other time, There's
good time coming" Tickets will be sent
to every body (without distinction of color)
in Virginia. Perhaps you could induce the
editor of the OBSERVER and Gen. w. to
come on. I am sure ID would do great
deal of good. Good bye H.. Bat IL sd. r.
