A HORSE ON A BUsT.-Last evening
about seven o'clock,a a horse attached to a
light wagon, belonging to Mr.. G. L. Rad
way, corner of Main and Tenth streets,
was taken to his stable, on Cary, between
Ninth and Tenth streets. While the
groomsman was preparing to detach him
from the vehicle, cat ran across the sta
bic, and so frightened the horse that he
rushed out of the stable with the wagon,
and proceeded down Cary at full tilt, He
turned up Thirteenth, through Governor
street to Broad, out to Marshall, up Mar
shall some distance, thence to Broad again,
which he followed to Ninth here he turn
ed toward Main, which he reached on time.
He turned down Main, and brought up ON
the pavement against the corner Of the bu-
siness house occupied by his owner. Here
he was captured and taken back to the
starting point. Strange to say, neither
horse nor wagon was materially damaged,
nor have we heard of any damage done
along the route.

Richmond Mechanics' Institnte.

The Richmond Wing in alluding to the
Land Scrip talks thus, and we reprint its
suggestions with approval:
"Our only aim in disposing of this fund
is to render it most useful to the public.
We have believed, and still believe, an in
dependent institution would best subserve
that end. Such an institution would stand
a better chance for, future grants from Con-
gress. If the Mechanics Institute
of Richmond were, as it should
be, worthy of the mechanics of this
city, it, in conjunction with the Agricultu-
raj Society, could easily raise $250, 900 or
$500, 900 for the establishment of such an
institution as we propose. If the parties
we refer to would go to work, and guaran-
tee the requisite amount; or if they failing,
others would undertake it, we should
gladly see the fund assigned to an independ-
ent institution, devoted solely to the OBJ
jects of the Congressional grant.
AT least $25, 900, in addition to the land
fund, is necessary to organize an institu-
ton. In the absence of proffcr of such a
contribution, the University and Military
Institute seem to give the farest promise of
utilizing the fund. .....
In this connection, we hear, that by re-
ference to the census, one-third of the fund
is not deemed a fair proportion by the col
ored school at Hampton. 1t is said the
blacks and whites are as five to twelve, and
therefore the colored school is entitled to
tve-twelfths, instead of four-twelfths. We
think the demand reasonable, and should
be allowed.
Now, who will go to work and help
make the Mechanics Institute worthy of
Richmond? Its voice ought to be heard
potentially in the Halls of Legislation,
while the professionals are parcelling out
its heritage among themselves.

THE LEADER In THE REAR.-We
have waited very patiently to hear Mr..
Raleigh L. Daniel deliver speech in the
House of Delegates upon any subject which
would be free from abuse of the govern
ment, of Republicans and their principles.
r In his address opposing the passage of the
act ndorsing the appropriation made by the
City Council, had to drag in political mat
ters, and charge that the Republican party
was responsible for all such action as that
taken by the Council. The vote in the
House this morning, proves that he is a
y dead cock in the pit" and that no mat
ter what measure he supports, it is sure to
be defeated.
Mr.. Stovall was the only Republican
who voted with Mr.. Daniel this morning,
and we were surprised that even he would
be willing to vote with Mr.. Daniel under
any circumstances.

POLICE 1TEMs.-The 'cow case"
heretofore mentioned in these columns, has
grown to serious proportions. 1t was
again before Justice White this morning,
who sent Moses jackson into the Hastings
court to answer to the charge of forging
Woodson Robinson's receipt for $l5, the
price of the COW. He will also be examined
on the charge of perjury in swearing to the
genuineness of the receipt. The charge
preferred against Woodson Robinson of an
attempt to swindle Moses jackson out of
the price of the cow, by false swearing,
will rest to await the action of the Hastings
court in the case certified to it.
John Cooley, charged with being the
father of a bastard child, Of which Francis
Hill is the mother, was sent to the Hust-
ings court. The accused gave bail for his
appearance.

The unparalleled character of the con-
cessions made by the Finance Committee
of the Senate to the demands of the Brit
ish agents, now busy at work in Wash
ington, is well illustrated by the proposed
reduction Of the duty on bituminous coal
from one dollar and twenty-five cents to
fifty cents per ton.. Look at the facts |!
In 1865, when Nova Scotia coal was ad-
mitted free, the average price in Boston
was nine dollars and sixty cents per ton,
while in 1870, when the same coal paid
one dollar and twenty. five cents, it was but
six dollars and sixty cents, duty paid.
This is fully accounted for by the extra
ordinary impetus given to American pro-
duction under the beneticent effects of pro-
lection. In 1865 we imported from all
sources 6S4 ,l80 tons, and produced for con-
sumption on the Atlantic seaboard / $685.
247, giving total supply of 2,673, ,427
tons, while IN 1870 we imported 420,6S3
and produced 4, ,16s, ,479, giving total sup
ply of 4,5S9,l6 tons-an increase of
l,915,735! While this magnificent indus
try was being thus developed and was Civ
ing to the people this great supply at so
much toaoe1 rates, the Treasury of the
United States collected in 1870 duties to the
amount Of $525, 900; and yet this Senate
committee proposes at one blow to throw
away the revenue, and destroy OF cripple
the industry, so that we shall 60 back to
the old and excessive prices under British
free trade What wisdom and statesman
ship!

might be done. e. .s.-..

body of a white male child was found IN a
skirt of brush on Nineteenth street, Streck-

railroad tunnel. The body was perfectly
nude, and was in a decomposed state. 1t
was evidently about month old. A large
crowd soon assembled, and it was the opin-
ion of many, from certain marks on the
neck, that the child had been murdered by
stranguation. A gentleman present said
he had seen another child found under sim
liar circumstances only a few hours before.

VIRGINIA HALL LAST NIGHT-THe
"Otd Reliable"-K'SS Helen D'Este.-
East Lynne was performed last night, to a
fair audience. This play is an unpopular
one in Richmond, and unless performed by
artists of the first ability, seldom draws as
good audiences as was present last night.
10 say those present were charmed, would
be to do violence to truth. The bad work.
ing of the scenery and the inferior talent of
a portion of this company, tended to dis
satisfy the audience. Messrs. Stuttz and
Tannehill are gentlemen of talent, and we
may say the same of Zoe Izola.
. Helen D. Ester, need never fear that her
talent and efforts to please will not be ap-
preciated. She is an elegant woman, and
will win applause whever she appears.
With these kind and just expressions con-
cerning her, she must pardon us for adyis-
ing her never to attempt to sing, if her rem
ditlons of "Then you'll Rremember Mc' is
sample Of what she can do.
There is sufficient merit in this company
to commend it to the public, and we hope
the audience that may greet them in the
future will be larger than last night.
