short tail, and hind legs legs much longer

LOCAL MATTERS.
Inspection of the City PHbic Schools

InspectiOn of the City Public schools.
The Council Committee on Schools, the
CITY School Board, Superintendent j. Fl.
Binford, and Secretary Moses. accompanied
bv members of the Richmond press, made a
tour of inspection yesterday morning, vlslf-
ing all of the city publc schools, commenc-
ing at the Bellevue school at $50 o'clock.
The opening exercises at this school Consist
ing of group of eleven, with Mr. y. ID.
Peay, Jr, principally were particularly inter-
estng, the scholars going through the calls
thenic exercises with musical accompani-
ment which elected complimentary comment
from the visitors. It may be remarked, ln
the outset of this notice, that the tour OF the
Council committee yesterday was the hrst
they had made since the organization OF the
committee.
From the Bellevue school the party visited
Bethel school, composed of group OF hVe,
under the care of Mr.. L. Il. Murray, princl-
pal. Next in order came the Valley group,
seven in number, with Mr.. G. D. Montague
principal. These are colored schools, and
the proficiency which the infant classes in
this group have acquired in SO short time
is alike commendabIe in the teachers as to
Mr.. Binford, whose remarkable efficiency as
q superintendent has so often been noticed IN
these columns. From this point the COM
mittee visited the Richmond High School, OH
Broad between Ninth and Tenth streets,
which has recently been established. There
are two schools in this building, under Mr..
W. F. Fox, principal. The Board and their
friends were here entertained with calesthe-
mic exercise by music; but the singing, under
the leadership of Miss New, who seemed par
ticularly happy in the role which she under
took, was decidedly the feature Of the day.
But there were so many pleasant incidents
connected with the round that it would be
almost unfair to particuEirize.
Mr. S. 7. Pendleton is the principal of the
Central school, where there are eleven
grouped. The exercises here were different
from that at other places, and were accord
ingly agreeable. The visit of the committee
was entirely unexpected. and when the party
entered the southern portico of the building
the children were enjoying their recess; but
a neat little address Of welcome from q
Youthful Miss Ida Jones convinced the
visitors that it would be difficult to take
them by surprise. Mr.. English, of Marshall
Ward. chairman of the School Committee,
responded appropriately; and after ENJOY
ing the chanting of the Lords Prayer by the
children, the other schools in the building
having been visited, the party moved on te
the Navy Hill coiored schools, Of which
group Of ten Miss M. Z. Knowles is prlnct
pal. Here, as Mt the Baker and Leigh schools
the gentlemen were charmed. OF the former

Particulars Of Yankee Aliens Case.


r.. FARMvILLE, November 20, 1872.
Judge Dickinson decided to-day case in
vacation involving such grave and novel
questions rs will, it is believed, interest your
readers. Edgar Allen, being in custody of
the sheriff of Prince Edward under capids
sued out to recover fine Of $500, applied to
Judge Dickinson for a writ Of ha6eas corpus
on the 18th instant, alleging that he was ille-
gally held in custody. He was bailed to an-
pear on the 10th, and did so. The ground
set out i'm the petition for a discharge was that
he had been pardoned by the Executive.
The following are the material facts OF the
case: s.s.
The accused was presented by the grand
Jury in February, 1872, in one presentment,
for unlawfulIy playing and betting at cards !;
in another for unlawfully exhibiting game
"called chuckaluck, being of the like kind
with faro" In the first case judgment went
by defuult, the defendant being in court
when the Judgment was entered. In the
second case, for exhibiting an unlawful
gaming-table, he was tried and convicted.
Tie Jury, finding the defendant guilty,
imposed by law the fine, and fixed it ut s200.
1t was the duty of the court to Tx the term
of Imprisonment from two to twelve months,
and the defendant (being then the attorney
for the Commonwealth was sentenced to con-
finement in the county Jail for four months.
After being confined in Jail some ninety
days petition, signed by large number OF
respectable citizens, was presented to the
Governor asking that the defendant be par
doned. Gentlemen in other parts Of the State
addressed Governor Walker to the same effect.
Two physicians of skill and professional repu-
tation certified to the Governor that longer
confinement might "endanger the life" OF
the prisoner, his health having greatly suf-
fered from his Imprisonment. These docu.
ments were referred BY the Governor to the
Judge before whom the prisoner had been
tried, convicted, and sentenced. The Judge
on the certificate of the doctors, and know.
| ing that for misdemeanor the Legislature
never could have designed 10 imprfson man

A FINE AUDIENCE, largely composed of Ia.
dies, welcomed the Katie Putnam Comedy
Troupe at Assembly Hall last night. The
play of the evening, Wallack's beautiful
modern drama, "Rosedale or, The Rifle
Ball." was splendidly presented, and afford
ed us an opportunity of seeing Miss Putnam
in new line of her profession, and, we may
add, in one in which she is fully at home.
Her fine acting was rewarded with enthusi.
astic applause. Mr.. Browne as Elliott Grey
showed himself to be an actor Of great merit
indeed, Miss Putnam is most fortunate in the
excellent support which he always gives her.
The other parts were we'll sustained, and the
performance passed off smoothly in all re.
spects. We may congratulate the First regl-
mcnt upon the success Of the benefit so kindly
rendered them by Miss Putnam.
Tonight the fayorite appears in " Won at
Last" "Apple of my Eye" will also be
given.

Mrs. JARLEY's WAx-WoRKs.-On Monday
and Tuesday nights of next week our citi-
zens will be afforded an opportunity of wit
Messing the pleasing and amusing and at the
same time innocent exhibition known as
Mrs. Jarey's Wax-Works. The entertain
ment referred to is of a class that must be
seen to be appreciated. No words Of mere
description could do itjustice. Wemay say,
however, that in this case the management is
intrusted to artists of our city noted for
their taste and skill III such matters, and the
performers are ladies and gentlemen whose
position in society is sufficient guarantee Of
the excellence of the exhibition. The Ia
bleauX will be the best ever seen here. The
first entertainment is announced for Monday
night, and reserved seats may be secured at
West, Johnston s. Co.'S tomorrow.

been built, and is quite an ornament to that

The committee were unanimous in their
expressions of qualification at what they saw
and heard, and were astonished at the sue
cess to which the public school system in
Richmond has attained. They seemed not
to have the slightest idea of what Rich
mond had done in this direction, and were
not sparse in their mpiiments and praises
to Mr.. Bfbford, to whom the city is almost
entirely indebted in this behalf.

NAVIGATION SUsPENDED.-T break in the
Alexandria canal at Four-Mile run will, in
all probability, suspend navigation until
next spring. The break Is about two hum
dred feet long, and looks as though the en-.
tire tow-path side of the canal had slid away
from the puddled bottom. About dozen
men were at work repairing the damage this
morning, but persons familiar with such
matters say that one hundred men could not
accomplish the necessary work in ten days.
The accident was most unfortunate, for,
owing to the horse disease, the supply of
coal at this city is extremely limited, and the
source of supply is now shut off.-Aleran-

Ion to him, in writing, that, in view of this
fact, this was q case In which Executive
iclenency might be easily exercised to the
extent Of remittipg by pardon so much of
the sentence as required longer confinement

and IS suggested by the Judge, to the extent
Of releasing him from confinement only. The
TAILOR thereon discharged han in Septem-
Der, and the defendant actively engaged in Il
political canvass.
About the 18th of November cdpids pro
fine was issued to recover the money in both
cases. In the first case (for unlawful gauiingJ
the fine and costs were promptly paid. The
defendant applied, as above mentioned, to
Judge Dickinson for writ of habeds corpus
