THE THEATRE To-NIGHT.-The very
laudable purpose for which the entertainment
of to night will be given by the Richmond Am
ateur Dramatic Association, should call to-
gsther well crowded house, independent of
the merit of those who will take parts in the
entertainment.
Our city is not excelled by even New York,
In native talent, neither are the Gothamites dis
posed to such cnarity as our young gentlemen
and ladies always evince, when it Is necessary
to care for the orphans Of the community in
which they live.
The programme selected fer the evening
gives promise that all who may attend will 60
away we'll satisfied.
We have no idea that we need say anything
to induce our citizens to fill the house tonight,
but simply to keep before them the fact that
to-night is the time selected for an ingathering
OF money to feed and clothe the fatherless and
motherless children OF Richmond, who are de-
pendent upon public charity for comfortable
sustenance.
Go then, every one, to night to the theatre,
and aid with your means this very commends-
BILE enterprise.

LOST AND FoUND.-The little son of
Col. l. Hayes Shields wandered away from his
father about IL o'clock this morning. The
Colonel was at the time engaged in an import
ant case with q member of law firm in his
office, in the Marshall building, corner of
Tenth and Bank streets, and for the moment
lost sight of his child, when, on enquiring, he
found that the little fellow when last seen was
going down Bank street, below the custom,
house. This news nearly crazed the Colonel
for the time, and an hour was spent by him in
the greatest agony searching for his child. 1t
appears that some kind hearted gentleman
found the child, who. being very intelligent
little fellow, though not three years old, told
the gentleman his name and where he lived,
when he was kindly returned to his parents,
who reside on the corner of Twenty fifth and
Broad streets.

w, G. FREEMAN.

we promised on yesterday to lay before
our readers to-day the proof to sustain
ourselves in the declaration that Mr.. Free
man was Republican.
We call attention to the card of Messrs.
Braselman aud Underhill, who, this morn
ing, called upon Mr.. Freeman 10 relation
to the matter.
Mr.. freeman denies any knowledge of
the article of the Dispatch of yesterday,
and says it appeared without his know
ledge or consent Not knowing the SAME
card appeared in the Enquirer also, nothing
was said concerning it.
Mr.. Freeman refusing to father these de-
mails made by the Dispatch and Enquirer,
renders it unnecessary for us to say more,
except to call upon them for their author
ity for denying our statement. We shall
dismiss this subject by saying that whether
authorized or not by Freeman to make the
assertions they did, the Dispatch and En-
quirer will now be satisfied that the affair
is rather mixed. and that the subject is un-
worthy of notice beyond their placing
themselves right, which we have no doubt
they will be able to do We propose per-
mitting Mr.. freeman to be freeman in
his conduct as a councilman, hoping he
will not deny his reputation for honesty
and act as doubtfully as he has done re-
Gently.
The cards below will explain them
selves.

This morning we called upon Mr.. W.

the article and states that it was done

In order to settle the whole question
concerning Mr.. Freeman, make the fol-
lowing statement in relation to the matter
Mr.. Freeman and myself visited Mr..
Braselman to learn something in relation
ton to the election, when Mr.. Braselman
asked him if be was not Democrat, he
(Mr. Freeman) replied that he was not,
and if his father was Democrat, running
for Office, he would not vote for him as
such, and would only do so because he avas
his father, that he belonged to no party
nor was he politician, but as member
of the Council would represent the in-
terests of the achole people. He further.
more authorizes me to say, that the state.
