New BUILDING AT RICHMOND Coll
LEGE.-The prosperity of Richmond Col
lege during the last year, has made it neces-
sary that larger accommodations should be
provided. The rooms have been crowded
the last session, and the trustees have deci-
ded to commence the erection of other
buildings, relying on the generous aid of the
friends of education, enterprise, progress
and yirture to assist them in this necessary
undertaking.
The corner stone of the new building
given by Mr.. John A. Temple) will be
laid by the Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge of Masons in Virginia, Col. r. E.
Withers, under the auspices Of Richmond
Lodge, No. 10, and the Masonic Fraternity
of the city, at ) O'Clock p. NJ, on the oath
instant. The trustees have adopted the
plans for the new structure. When COM
pleted it will be one of the largest edifices
of the city, and will add to the interest
and attractions of the city already existing.

that the strikers were massing in the 10Th
and 2lst precincts, where there are large
cabinet factories. Supt. Kelso ordered the
reserves of the neighboring precincts to
march to the threatened districts and pro-
tect person and property at all hazard. He
then went himself to the 10th precinct,
while Inspector Qilkes went to the 21st.
Steinway's factory was besieged by 300
men, as early as six o'clock, but the po-
lice drove them off. A large crowd of
strikers gathered soon afterwards in front
of cabinet factory, on Forty-second st.,
near Third avenue. A sergeant of police
and patrolman were stationed there, and
kept the strikers at bay until the arrival of
a detachment of police who were obliged

strikers. . ....

"a circular letter is going the Grounds, pur-
porting to eminate from the Executive
Committee of the Republican party, re.
9uesting pecuniary aid towards sending
Rev. Henry Williams, Jr., to Congress
from this (4th) district"
Anxious desires to have some light upon
the subject. My duty is plain.
This committee has issued no circular in
that (fth) or any other district in the State,
interfering in their elections, and does not
propose to have anything to do with matters
between two rival candidates, unless ap-
pealed to in the usual and proper manner,
We propose to labor earnestly for the good
OF the phole party, and will confine our
selves to such work as legitimately comes
before us, and no other.
Whenever circulars issue from this COM
mittee, they may be looked for in such
shape as will leave no doubt of their genu-
ineness.
For information respecting our action,
will always be ready to give it to those who
may address me. 5f-Ez

To BUSINESS MEN.-Gentlemen fully
authorized by us to conclude contracts with
advertisers, will call upon the business men
Of Richmond during the next few weeks.
Now is the time to advertise. The various

increasing in circulation, both in and out Of
the city, and we can not only give as good
rates to business men, but as extensive
circulation as any political paper in the
State. Our semi-weekly and weekly edi-

manufacturers and dealers in agricultural
implements, fertilizers, &c., &c.

WE desire to do no injustice to Mr.. Gree

the Tribune whether John U. Andrews, the
:" Virginian," whose Endorsement of the
Cincinnati nominee is hoasted of in that
paper, is the same Andrews who led the
rioters in 1868, and who was sentenced to
State prison for that offence? We have no
doubt all the Tammany rioters who are
living will vote, legally or Illegally, for MIR.
Greeley, as the Tammany candidate. Does
he rely SO strongly on this fact that he can
afford to advertise it to the disgust of de-

one of the convicted jail birds who led

The EDITORIAL ExCURsIoNIsTS.-.
We found large number of respectable
looking gentlemen at Ford's Hotel to-day,
members of the press, who had assembled
to accompany Major N. II. Hotchkiss on
an excursion to the North. These gentle
men represent the press of Virginia, North
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Lou
isiana. The party are lively and
enthusiastic over the prospects before them.
Mr.: Rees, the photographer, of this city,
took picture of them on the balcony at
Ford's, and subsequently at the steps of
the capital. They left for Baltimore at
o'clock this afternoon, where they will be
joined by a number of other quill-drivers,
and proceed on Monday morning according
to the programme already published by us.
We expect Hotchkiss to send us from
Baltimore full list of his company, as we
were unable to obtain it here. We wish
these gentlemen all the pleasure the de-
lightful programme promises, and safe
return to their various sanctums when the
frolic is ended.

Chase of a Supposed rillibuster.

Washington, June 14.-The captain of
the revenue cutter "Northernero reports
his chase after the alleged Cuban fillibus-
ter "Fannieo to the Treasury Department.
Other reports from customs officers con-
tanned no evidence of fllibustering inten-
tons, but it appears that it was deemed a
matter of caution to keep her in sight of
her, and accordingly on the night Of the
7th of June, the ''Northerner'' sighting the
Fannie, kept up stern chase for some
time, and found also q tug in her wake,
which, upon being oyerhauled, was found
to contain detective, who was in the en-
ploy Of the Spanish consul at New York.
The master of the tug was fortified with
documents in Spanish, designed to protect
him from Spanish men-of.war if over
hauled by any Of them.
Late in the evening of the 7th, however,
the sea becoming rough, the tug was COM
pelled to seek shelter. The Northerner kept
up the chase, and extinguished her light.
AT later hour the Fannie did the same,
and was lost sight of; she being at the
time rs miles southeast of Cape Henry and
about 35 miles from the nearest land. The
Northerner cruised all night, but finding no
sign of the Fannie in the morning, returned
to Fort Monroe. -
