4 BorHTY CAsE.-Cbarles W. Buttz was
arrested by Deputy United States Marshal
Fcrrcll yesterday, under warrant issued
by the Commissioner at Norfolk, on the
charge of collecting the bounty money of
one Fcntress, n negro, and appropriating it
to his own use. Mr.. Buttz has in his pos
session receipt signed by Fentress, and
witnessed by two respectable citizens of
Norfolk, in full acquittance of the claim.
He believes the charge to have been trumped
up to divert his attention from thecontested
election in which he is interested, and as
serts that the matter will be cleared up as
soon as investigated by the Commissioner.

New MAI OF THE ClTY.-The map OF
the city of Richmond, ordered by the Coun-
Gil several years ago, has just been COM
pleted and finished in handsome style, and
can be seen at the Office of the City Engineer.
The map was commenced under the admin
istration of Mr.. Washington Gill and fin
ished under that of Mr.. Crenshaw, who has
just resigned. The surveys were made by
Mr.. Joseph J. Pleasants, whose qualifca,,
tions for the work were the best that could
be desired, and the plating and drawing
was all done by the hand of Mr.. s. b.
Bates, one of the most accomplished young
engineers in the State. Both these gentle
men deserve credit for the manner in which
their duties have been performed, and their
work will probably live long. after them.
1t is proposed to have Photographic copies
of the map (six feet by four) in each Of the
city offices, and then 10 have struck off re-
duced photographic copies to be disposed of
as may be hereafter decided.

DEATH OF JUDGE R. Il. CoLExAs.-The
habitues of the Exchange Hotel and his
many friends in this city were very much
shocked on Sunday morning by the an
nouncement of the very sudden death Of
Judge R. H. Coleman, of Caroline county,
which occurred at the Exchange at about
5 o'clock. The Judge retired at about II
o'clock in apparently good health, but
awoke little after 4, suffering severely
from oppression, and in less than half an
hour died from what is supposed to have
been disease of the heart.
Judge Coleman was about fifty years Of
age, had served in the Legislature, been
elected judge of the Caroline circuit under
the old Constitution, and was highly es-
teemed and respected by all who knew
him. His legal attainments were of high
order, and his reelection to the position he
formerly held was urged by his friends.
His funeral will take place from St. Paul's
church ut o'clock this afternoon.

THE VIRGINIA HOME INSURANCE COM
pASY.-We notice the passage of an act Of
the Legislature changing the name of that
popular and reliable company known here
tofore as the Insurance and Savings Com
pdnu of Virginia. After the lst of April
next this act confers upon it the more dis
tinct and sttractive name of the Virginia
Home Insurance Company:l' The best wish
we can express on the occasion is that the
company may retain under the new title
the same high repute and good success
which attended it under the old. The pre-
sent officers of the company are David j.
Burr, president, and B. G. Wherry, Jr.,
secretary.

CHANGE OF SUPERINTESDENTs AT THE
PENITENTIARY.-Thef formal Inauguration
of George T. Strother, the new superin-
tendent of the penitentiary, took place yes
terday morning. The ceremony was short
and simple. At IL o'clock the prisoners
assembled, after the usual fashion, in the
inner yard, and were first addressed by
Mr.. Wardwell, the retiring superintendent.
In brief speech he announced that his
connection with the institution was about
to terminate, and that should he ever again
be seen within these walls it would be only
by the permission of Mr.. Strother. To the
ability of his successor and his qualifca-
tions for the position he paid high and
merited tribute. He had no doubt that
they would find change in the entire dis
cipline, but especially in the means of en-
forcing obedience, obtaining subordination,
and to effect moral reform. There was
difference as wide apart as the poles be-
tween his mild prison rules and the "con-
vict CODE" which Mr.. Strother felt it his
duty to carry out. He warned them against
provoking the rigors of that code, and as
sured them that notwithstanding what had
been said they would find in Mr.. Strother
bade them IN affectionate farewell.
Mr.. Strother then, in few appropriate
remarks, said that his administration of the
institution would be entirely governed by
law, whose every provision his duty would
compel him to enforce, and that on the pri-
soners themselves depended whether he
should have recourse to measures of rigor
and severity.
The prisoners then went back to their
cells seemingly sensible of the change, and
in reality changed themselves also, as their
ouiet manner and altered demeanor since
the election of Mr.. Strothcr unmistakubly
shows.
A good many visitors and place-expect'
ants were present, who returned TO their
homes convinced that the penitentiary wal
not such dangerous place after oil; bu
all felt on assurance that the right man hao
taken hold of the institution, and that du
ring his administration the public neec
have no fears that the "pariahs " of go
eiety would not be we'll taken care Of.
