The MILKNEN.-It seems that some Of
the raided milkmen who were fined by Re-
corder Houghton were and are content to
pay their forfeit, notwithstanding the fact
that their names appear on the list Of those
who sued ont writ of sequestration, op-
posing the Recorders action. Three of them
have made afidavits that they did not au.
thorize attorneys to use their names. They
paid their fines and departed.

school-beys out of ehingle by means of

boat is five feet six ibches long, has two
feet six inches breadth Of beSsI, and ten
inches derth of hold. 1t is "kuilt" for
Colonel Charles T. Howard, and is in

same relation in size that CULVER did to

STEAM LAUNCH FOR THE HARsoR POLICE.
Mr.. John Mahoaey, the celebrated boat
bulldog of Algiers, who has constructed
more good water craft thar any other
builder in this locality, is no~ engaged in
building steam propeller launch for the
use Of the Metropolitan harbor police.
This launch, which those who are eompe-
tent to judge prophesy will he ono of tho
most effective of its kind; is shirty-six feet
in le9gth, with, nine feet beam, four feet
depth of hold, and, when the engine and
apparatus is on. hoard, will draw three feet
six inches of water. The engine for this
launch, which is in course Of construction at
the Shakespeare Foundry, will be very
powerful for the size Of the craft and the
boiler will be large enough, when steam is
once raised, to enable her to run some five
or six miles between each firing up. The
launek will be finished and ready for de-
livery between Christmas and New Year,
and the cost complete, engine and all, will
he abe9t $27OO.

We invite attention to the communica'
t;on Of soutbside" on the subject OF Old
debts. Tie is man of high character cS-
tensiye information, and practical luds-
ment. Without entering into the discus
sion of the complicated question OF longer
INDULGENCE to creditors, We wish to impress
upon the public mind the aggregate amount
of the Indebtedness az ascertained by Gen
eral CASBY and reproduced by our CORE
spondent. Fifteen millions of dollars is
no cause for alarm-uothing to cause de-
spondency or excite anxiety for the future.
Why, the sum is about half the assessed
value of the property of the city of Rich
mond, and only five times the annual to-
bacco tax paid by Virginia to the Federal
Government. And We may fairly assume
that the whole fifteen millions may be paid
with FIVE millions for SO many debtors are
creditors that one-third the aggregate III
debtedness will serve the purpose of pay
ing the whole. Apays B, 3 pays {, and
so on through the alphabet, small COM
narrative sum sweeping away large ag-
gregate debt. There should be no despond-
ency-no terror about this subject. 1t is
unworthy OF resolute and
honest people. 1t is hurtful to the general
veal, causing distrust and distress and
paralyzing energies which should be &C
lively and hopefully employed. Cheer up
friends, cheer up! Industry and hope vii!
soon carry US all through the narrow streak
Of cloud just before us.
