The telegraph makes sad havoc with the
French and German proper names. We
have been reading for more than month
about the marches and counter-marches,
victories aud defeats of General Chauzy,
the new commander-iu-chiefo of the recently
annihilated army Of the Lore,-only to
find that we have, in all probability, mis-
led by the telegraph, been spelling and
pronouncing his name most barbarously.
In the OoarTter des Etats- UniS--the

printed, wherever mentioned, Chanzy !;
and certainly the French ought to know.

| Police Court - The following cases
were disposed of by Police Justice White this
morning:
john Crump, coiored, charged with commit.
| ting burglary on the hen-house of William
| Roy in the nighttime. In the operation he
| captured six chickens. There being no evil
dence of felony, the party was discharged
| Jack Solomon, colored, less wise than his
renowned ancestor, was charged with continu
| ordered by competent authority to cease aud
| determine the same. He was let of.
VIM. w. Goodman, white, was charged
| with purloining one double-barrel gun, worth
$50, from John Hagan. 1t was an unfortunate
circumstance that developed Goodman's pros
clivity for and attachment to articles of the
sort. The Police Justice was ready to declare,
It he did it, he was no good man at all. viii
liam proved he didn't.
Armstead johnson, colored, who deals in
old iron and other such heavy stuff was
charged with stealing lot of that substance
from the Old Dominion nail works. He could
not disprove the allegation, and the agent of
the works insisting that his Identification of
the special lot found with johnson was not
ironical, he was sent before the grand jury.
Nicholas Berry, colored, was charged with
practicing the art of a Jeremadiddler and con-
fdence man on Eliza Reade under false pre :
tence, and to the tune of $3.50 in gold and sill
yer. Eliza was of opinion that everything
Nick did was after the style of Ah Sin, the
heather Chinee, "witb intent to deceive" or at
least when the enterpfising party was near
her, it practically had that effect; her gold
and silver going quicker nor you could say
t'scat." The case was continued till Gath inst
Bill Jordan, Frank Nelson and John McCar-
thy, the two first named of whom are colored
were all up for being vagrants. These candi-
dates for cast iron, jewelrY and the honor of
trying to.ind diamondsin James river granite,
did not look like they had had a good square
meal for week. The Police Justice took
pity on them and told them to CO.
Bill billiard, colOred, was charged with
making an insiduous, secret and felonious
attack on the feathered property of Mr.. War
ren, with intent the same to steal, grab.up,
carry away and convert into hen, pie. The
proof did not sustain the charge, and Bill was
acquitted.
Sam Henderson, John Parker, Henry Tiller,
and Dave Tiiler, colored, were charged with
interfering with and obstruetng persons hsv-
ing business at the railroad depot, corner
Eighth and Byrd Streets They were also al
legged to be persons without ostensible occupa-
tion, or to put it more plainly, vagrants. They
were finally let off with an admonition.
Thaddeus Warren, colored, for resisting the
police while corned, was fined two dollars.
Herman Schwartz, who deals in old iron,
was up for having ia his possession iron belong
ing to the Tredegar company. He brought
witnesses to prove that the iron in question
was bought in his absence by his wife from
four assistant junk dealers. who were, ac-
cordingly, put upon trial All were let off.

mond few days since. The efforts of the
great tragedian The who went to San
Francisco with papers setting forth that
he could play Hamlet, Richard III. and
poker) were not appreciated. The news
papers are rather sarcastic in speaking of
him. They talk about the successful mur-
der of Richelieu, &c.-BaH. Sun.
The Norfolk Journal of to-day says:
Mexican Buchanan opened last night in
Richelieu to a large and very intelligent
audience. We fear that the aspirations of
Mr.. Buchanan, in permitting his genius
to attempt the rendition of the "Soldier
Priest, rather led him sstray, from what
we witnessed last night. A little of such
acting goes long way with us. To be
brief, we have seen Richelieu essayed
much better.
A Western paper says:
Mexican Buchanan was announced to
appear in Richmond, Virginia, on the 9th
of the present month. This is the third
calamity that has befallen the people of
that unhappy city within ten months time.
