RESTITUTION DEMANDED IN VERY SUD-
DEN MANNER.--A few days ago, Captain
Harrison, the agent of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau. ut Scottsville, called to Charlottesville
by business, was dining at one of the hotels
IN that town. A young lady, one of the he
rolnes of the war, whose name we omit,
having scrutinized the Captain moment,
arose from her seat deliberately, and ap-
preached him with the tread of woman
who was not afraid-who knew her "honest
rights, and dared maintain them"
Said the lady, with stamp of her beau
tiful foot, which subdued the Yankee Cap
tain at once:
''Is this Captain Harrison, of the Yankee
army?"
The Captain stammered out that it was
eyes"
swell, sir, you have a watch and chain
on your person that belong to me- You
took them from me during the war by force,
by threats and violence. Now L want them
back again.
With these bold remarks, she acoompa.
MED the same with dexterous movement
OF her hands, and the gold watch and
chain, valued at 5000, was removed from
the bosom of the Captain and transferred
to the possession of the rightful female
owner
The vanquished Captain bowed, retired
from the table, and left the hotel and the
city of Charlottesville.

THE Rowing COMMITTEES The New York
Times thus cuts up the committees of Con-
gress that have been favored by permission
to perambulate the globe during the pend
ing vacation at the expense of the United
States Treasury:
Fortune dispenses favors invidiously. A
grateful and patriotic nation may not be-
grudge summer enjoyments to its law
makers, but at least it may ask that they
shall be impartially dispensed. AS the
matter stands, the holiday journeyings, with
Uncle Sam as the treasurer are confined to
handful of the members, and they all of
one party. If Mr.. Banks, for example, is
entitled to an ocean trip and its delightful
ct ceterd, the cost thereof being drawn from
the House contingencies, why should not
MIR. Fernando Wood draw upon the same
source for his European excursion And so
oil round the House. If mileage and ses-
sIonal allowances are not to bo the limit of
the countrys provision for it's legislators,
and if trips by land and sea are TO be added
as a means of enlarging the minds and in
vigorating the bodies of those who weary
OF Washington and home, we insist that all
the members shall profit by the arrange
ment. There is quite enough of monopoly
without extending it to pleasurable pill
grimages.
