Adjournment of the Legislature. The
members of the General Assembly have here
tofore agreed, we believe, by joint resolution,
to adjourn on the l7th of March, which hap
pens to be st. Patrick's day. 1t is stated that
the Republican members have determined to
vote against resembling this resolution. New
ertheless, all. members of either House that we
have heard converse on the subject, of what
ever shade of political opinion, declare that
the session iciu be extended. They ought to
know. Though not in favor of any game of
chance, we would not "copper" the remark
without expecting to deplete our peeuniary re-
sources. Any yet, cui bono?

Information Asked Por.-A eeptlem

Information asked Por.-A gentleman
who was one of the sufferers by the disaster at
the State Capitol, on the 9th. of April, 1870,
sends request to this Office that those per-
sons who had the distribution of the money
contributed for the relief of the persons in
jured by said accident, would publish an ac-
count of the manner in which they distributed
the same, to whom and the amount given each" :"
He thinks if this were done, and the manner
was satisfactory, 'it would dissipate certain
suspicious as to the proper distribution of said
money, as it is known that the sufferers who
had influential friends, found no difficulty in
getting relief, while the contrary was the case
with the poor ones," etc. This request is made
by party who was permanently injured.

hence for Richmond, at 6:30 P. M, on the

Did not Succeed "A horse, attached to
buggy owned by General Joseph r. Ander-
son, became frightened while standing in front
of Moses Millhiser's store this morning, by the
falling of a show-stand of hardware and agri-
cultural implements standing in front of the
store of Noting & Bro. He ran past another
vehicle standing by, entangled the wheel of
Anderson's buggy in II and upset that to which
he was attached, and was preparing for
grand fight when seized by the bride by
gentleman who happened to be passing. The
timely Intervention certainly prevented a
broken buggy and used up horse, and mayhap
other damage more serious.

improvement Richmond, in
a commercial point of view, seems to be dull,
improvements in the way Of building appear
to be unusually brisk. In our usual rounds
this morning, we noticed many substantial
buildings in course of construction on sites
which have, since the confagration of 1866,
been covered with debris. It'll pity but that
the owners of such real estate had looked into
this matter earlier. They have simply subjected
themselves heretofore to taxation and gradual
decline in value of property bringing In no re-
turns. Improved, this will cease to be the
case.
We repeat that the signs in this respect are
of the most encouraging sort, and argue well
for the future of the city. Among the lots
proposed to be built on at an early day is the
one on the east corner of Fourteenth and M ain
streets, which was being cleared up to-day for
that purpose. 1t always constituted an impor-
tant business corner. The house thereon for
merly was burned down in the confagration of
April Sd, 1865. Though antique in appearance,

and struggling for separate independence,

city which now bears his name, and became pre-
sident of Republic which he helped to create.
