LOCAL MATTERS.

DEAD gBoDY FouND-sUspIo1oN OF Foul
PLAY.-Early yesterday morning the dead
body Of q man was found floating in the
dock at the foot of Nineteenth street.
Subsequently the body was brought ashore
and identified as that of Federal soldier
named Samuel J. Patterson, of company A,
Eleventh infantry. Patterson was en-
ployed in the Office of Colonel Stanton, pay
master of this district, and has been miss
ing since the 26th of February, ultimo. On
the evening of that day st about 5 o'clock
he left the Office, as he said, to take walk,
and was never afterward heard of BY his
friends. The body is greatly swollen, and
bears the appearance of having been long
time in the water. A dark bruise on the
head gives rise to the suspicion that the
deceased was foully dealt with. The dock
is now giving up its dead at the rate of one
or two per month.
After the above was written the body Of
Patterson was taken out of the water and
reviewed by a coroner's jury, which ad-
journed to meet at Old Market Hall st IL
o'clock this morning. Patterson's comrades
inform us thathe bore q good character and
was not much given to drink. He was from
Pittsburg, Pa. ..... ....

BURGLARY AND SPEEDY ARREST OF THE
BURGLARs.-Yesterday morning at about l
o'clock the grocery store of j. W. Verlan-
der, on Franklin street between Seventeenth
and Eighteenth, was entered by burglars,
who carried off about 500 pounds of bacon,
lot of tobacco, and other articles. En-
trance was effected through the front door
by means of "jimmy."
u At about 9 O'Clock the police arrested o
negro named George Willy on suspicion of
being concerned in the affair; and he, be-
coming alarmed, confessed his guilt, and
implicated also notorious negro burglar
named York Williams. Willy said 8 part
Of the plumber could be found at the house
of William Hackett, q " frst-class darky,"
who keeps little grocery on Eighteenth
street between Grace and Franklin. Hack
ett confessed the meat had been left at his
house, but insisted that it had been carried
away. But Detective Tyler, who was
working up the case, was not satisfied with
this story, and upon further search found q
part of the meat hidden under some sheets
in the back yard, and some more on the
adjoining lot. The accused will be brought
before the Mayor this morning.

ANOTHER BURGLARY.-Someti be-
tween dark and half past O'Clock on Tues
day night the toll Office of the James River
and Kanawha Canal Company, on the basin,
was broken into. Entrance was effected
through the door, which, from the marks on
it, must have been forced open with a
chisel- l-edged crow-bar. The thieves broke
open the money-drawer, in which there
was but few coppers. They made en- at
tempt on the safe, but failed. They car
ried off, however, several blankets used by
one of the clerks, who sleeps there, and
also fine meerschaum pipe. The clerk, on
arriving at the Office, found it in complete
disorder. @

"a REPOSITORY OF STOLEN GooDs D1sco-
EvERED-.- VALUABLE ~PLUNDER UNE4BTHED.
a. few days ago two OF our best police
officers, in pursuit Of fugitive from JUS
tice, stumbled upon o repository for stolen
goods carried on upon scale unparalleled
in the criminal historyrof our city, The
establishment is located on Broad street,
ScreanersyiIle, where dwells o white man
named Mackey, who seems. to bear the
same relation to the Richmond thieves that
the Jew aFagin, Of Dickens, did to the
and nimble-footed Of London.
Upon information received, Colonel Eg-
bert, our new Chief of Police, on yesterday
directed four Of his officers, Messrs. Ty Ter,
0'Dwyer, Murphy, and Parker, to proceed
to Mackey's and seize everything suspi-
cious that could be found on the premises.
They went to tho house, and searching it
from top to bottom, unearthed even more
stolen property than they had expected to
find. It consisted of articles of almost
every imaginable kind that thief would
wish to steal, including bedding, wearing
apparel, furniture, tableware, groceries,
fancy goods, and jewelry-nor. was this
all, for one of the detectives, in fumbling
about, put his hand upon q bag of rather
heavy weight, which, being more closely
examined, was found to be stuffed with gold
and silver coin. % q z-g-
The plunder was packed up in trunks
lit took ten to hold it) and hauled to police
headquarters, where it was deposited to
awaif Identification. Among the articles
fully identified on yesterday were an ele-
CANT gold watch and some wearing apparel
stolen from General Henry A. Wise some
months ago. We would advise all persons
who have been the victims Of burglars or
robbers of any kind to take a lcok at this
recaptured property. y .-a.
Mackey and his sister we're placed under
arrest yesterday, and will have o hearing
before the Mayor this morning. The de-
tectires are on the track Of other suspected
parties. 1875 4 '"-f

GOES BACK on TIE LAENIN' 1.-Two years
ago colored soldier applied through an
agent in this city for back pay aud bounty
from the Government, signing his name by
mark to the necessary papers. A short
time ago other papers were required by the
Department, and the colored boy, in the
mean time having learned how to write,
signed his name in full without the mark.
This the Department declared to be o
forgery until convinced by evidence of the
agent that the boy had learned to write his
own name while his case had been going
through the slow lengths of red tape.
