VISITING Firemen- has been announced
that Portsmouth fire company would visit
Richmond on Monday next. Captain AIMS,
lie informed us this morning that he had re-
ceiyed no official notification of such an in
tcntion on the part of the Portsmouth boys.
Our entire department numbers but sixty
men-five companies Of twelve men each
and while we are sure they are not lacking
in hospitality, they are nevertheless gene
rally poor men, and it seems out of the
question, unless at the city's expense, to
give such reception on the occasion
Of the visit as was the custom under the
volunteer system, when the companies em-
braced ten times the membership, many
of whom had large means. The Ports
mouth company is ninety strong. We
found our chief and his men in quandary
as to what they can or had better do under
the circumstances, and we have said this
much at their request to let the public and
the authorities understand the embarrassing
situation in which they are placed, and
would ask, in their behalf, aid and assis-
tance as will enable them to entertain theiI
friends from Portsmouth in becoming
manner.

Richmond Mdnufactories-Slodt e. I'D
ington.-Among the pioneer industrial
establishments in our city that of Messrs.
Sloat & Addington is deserving of most
favorable mention. In very short period
of time it has reached adegree of prosperity
perfectly astonishing, and is bright ex-
ample of what well directed industry and
perseverance will accomplish. Three years
ago these gentlemen occupied very small
room, up stairs, on the opposite side Of
Cary street and little above their present
extensive works. A fire drove them hence
with their small stock of tools and material.
But they did not despair nor falter.
They soon located again and went to
work, and to-day their machine works, Nos.
1922, 1924, 1426 and 1928, Gary street, and
Nos. 13 and 10, Fifteenth street, are at
once proud monument of their own ener-
gy and an honor to the city. Their build
ngs are very extensive, fronting seventy
feet on Gary street and forty on Fifteenth
street. They manufacture and repair all
descriptions of machinery, from sewing
machine to steam-engine, and so popular
have they become that orders pour in upon
them from all parts of Virginia and adjoin-
ing States.
We visited their shops this morning, and
were most iayorably impressed with the
order and system with which the whole es-
tablishment is conducted. Mr.. A. j. Ad-
dington, Of the firm, was our pilot, and we
thank him for the courtesy shown us while
there. We rejoice in the prosperity of this
establishment, which, through adverse for
tune, has risen to its present high stand.
We do not doubt that in the brilliant future
of our city Messrs. Sloat & Addington viii
find the reward which their industry and
energy SO richly deserve.

No Partially. The trial of Mr.. Lyons
for an alleged violation Of revenue laws Of
the government, is but an evidence of its
impartiality. Mr.. Lyons is a Republican;
necessarily "a loyal man to the government.
We are informed, upon reliable authority,
there is but little doubt Of the ability of
Mr.. Lyons to prove his entire innocence
that he has frequently demanded an inves
tigation of the matter, and that when the
facts are known he will be able to exoner-
ate himself from any criminal intent to de-
fraud the government.
The Dispatch of this morning thinks this
case one of interest to the Republican party
of the State. As an offset to this, we are
preparing one not exactly similar, but de-
cidedly damaging to the reputation of one
of the shining lights of Democracy, which
will.bc likely to be of great interest to that
party, when exposed. Republicans arc not
the only ones who commit violations of
law, neither are they the only ones who
will be exposed. 0ft Dad 1aiifegG

being handsomely fixed up, is at the SER

at a monthly rental of s25-gas, benches,

This certainly seems reasonable, and if it
is desirable, as many contend with reason,
to procure new quarters for the police JUS

excellent place, as we have heretofore said.
1t is convenient TO all, and not far enough

presume. The matter is worthy of the
consideration of the Council.

The Whppag-Post Party, and One Of,

custom furnishes all that is wanting. Who

it directed? Let the poor creature, the

gaping wounds, ten us by whom he is thus

.Swmdles for the Colored People and Ig-
nordnt W Whaes.-Among the numerous es-
Establishments now in operation to make mo-
ney out OF the ignorant classes, none, for a
time. seem so successful as that Of the
sprize box,n in which about ten cents
worth of candy is placed and occasionly Q
coin or note with which to tempt the cred
ulous.
For some time one of these establish
ments has been in successful operation IN
Petersburg, but recently such discoveries
were made as to induce the Progress to
pronounce the establishment a swindle.
Recently man, whose name we learn is
Harrison, has opened "prize box" estab-
lishment on Broad street, between Sixth
and Seventh, where, by the tempting dis
play in the front window of gold, silver and
currency, crowds of ignorant people flock,
ninety-nine times out of hundred to &c
away cheated of their money. 1t is more
clearly q case of swindle than many against
which laws are made and strictly enforced
1t encourages stealing and every other un.
lawful means to raise fifty cents to buy O
box, in the hope of obtaining prize.
We warn the people against encouraging
these traps the business is not legitimate,
and much less honorable than the more fas
cinating game of faro. Keep your children
away from this establishment, and if Older
fools are willing to be gulled, it makes bu
little difference. The Progress Of Peters
burg very properly advises the proprietor
of the swindling establishment there to pacl
up and leave. We respectfully advise MIR
Harrison to do the same thing, or keel
away from his concern the crowd of smal
boys who nightly congregate and spent
their money with him.
The police have an eye on this place, an.
the first favorable opportunity, will take
in charge. The business is not legitimate
and should at once be investigated ant
broken up. s,s s.4,rg.,5t y
