pear against Phillis, the case had the ap-
pearaucc -of.a "put-up" one ngainst her.
Several Of the witnesses we're old offenders,
and had occasion to remember Phillis on
account Of her former services in behalf Of
the Commonwealth against them. 60 en-

that on several occasions she could not con-
tain herself, and exclaimed, OATS Q lie, !,

LOCAL MATTERS.

DECISION IN REGARD TO PAUPER FREED
MEN.-The Attorney General, to whom was
referred g communication addressed to
General Stoneman in regard to the removal
Of pauper freedmen from Elizabeth City
county, has decided as follows:
.... ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE,
RICHMOND, March 5, 1869.
i" Major General Stoneman, Commanding
District of Virginia:
General,-In reply to the communica-
tion Of the secretary Of the board Of over
seers Of the poor of Elizabeth City county
I have to say that in my opinion there is no
authority for the removal of persons who
have had q legal settlement in county or
town for one year, except certain class
who may have migrated into the State within
three years, and were unable at the time Of
their migration to maintain themselves.
And although said persons may have been
maintained by the Freedmen's Bureau, or
any other charitable institution, during the
time they have been actually residing in
said county or town, yet their claim to
having a legal settlement is not affected
thereby. Very respectfully,
"TH0MAs r. BowDEN,
sAttorney-Gensral."

THE HENRICo RoBBERs.-Constable Ro-
binson succeeded at about 3 o'clock on So
turday morning, after o search through the
whole night, in arresting Charles Vaughan,
another of the negroes concerned in the
robbery of Mr.. Green, in Henrico, on Tues-
day night last. The arrest was made on
the Williamsburg road. The proof is pretty
conclusive that he furnished a cart to carry
off the plumber stolen. The parties were
arraigned before Justice Nettles for exami-
nation, but in the absence of witnesses the
case was continued until this morning.

We cannot close the report Of case
which has attained such celebrity with
out adverting particularly to the able argu-
ments made on either side. Rarely have
five speeches delivered in criminal trial
given more general satisfaction or received
more encomiums from the auditors.
Of Mr.. Bundy end Mr.. Wise, both Of
whom made their first appearance IN g
capital cause, We have already spoken.
Judge Guilds eloquent effort was noticed
yesterday. We fad that in giving Colonel
Johnson's argument the usual space that it
deserved, we failed to speak particularly of
its merits. Competent judges pronounce
it the best effort of Virginia's favorite cri-
minal lawyer-and this notwithstanding an
ihdisposition painfully apparent to his
friends. Mr.. Giimer conducted the un-
pleasant duty Of o prosecutor, represent
ing the outside part OF the Commonwealth .
Ito use Judge 0uld's remark) with great
propriety, and the peroratioa with which
he gave UP the case MAS very impassionsd
and impressive.

CO-oPERATION. N.-Communism or social
ism in modified form, still fingers in the
public mind, as something which may be
practically carried out to tighten the bur-
dens Of society, economising both labor
and expense through its agency. The
idea is humorously "taken Off in "Mrs.
o. Fogy's Supper Table Talk" on the
first page. While this humorous treat
ment of the subject is only an extravagan-
N, to be laughed at, the idea is seriously
entertained by many minds who believe
that society is not yet organized upon the
best principles of which it is susceptible,
and that changes may be made in the pres
cnt order of things, for the better. We
find the subject, in one of its departments,
thus mentioned in the Philadelphia Age ::
Cooperative family restaurants or kitchens are
now being urged as a cheap means of supplying
families with cooked food. From twenty to fif-
y families with incomes varying from one hun
dred and fifty to five hundred month can organ
ize common fund and establish such family
restaurant each taking its food in such proper
tons, quantities and qualities as would suit it,
charged enough TO securely cover all cost and
possible loss, and have general account taken
at stated seasons, when the mutual profit or loss
can be ascertained. Wagons are constructed ex-
Pressly to convey the meals from the shop to the
houses of patrons, whittier they go closed from
exterior sight, and the emptied and soiled dishes
return in like manner unseen. These wagons
are made to keep the meals warm in the colder
countries, where they are in use now, and will
certainly suffice here. There is enough in this
suggestion to warrant trial of the system in
large cities, where the cost of living eats up al
that an industrious man can earn.
