The FUNDING BILL COMMITTEE
Messrs. Smith, Booker, O'Ferrall, Full
kerson and Ramsdell, were to-day ap-
pointed committee to investigate the
general rumor that the funding bill was
passed by bribery and corruption. The
plot thickens, and although, as we have
heard it reported, the committee would
be unable to unearth the monster, there
is but little doubt that already sufficient
is knoDn to involve number of promi-
nent gentlemen, who are engaged in this
great outrage.
We wish the committee success.

BLIND ToM-Thee Concerts Neat
Week. Virginia Hall has been engaged for
three nights next week, commencing Mon
day, and Blind Tom will delight our citi-
zens with his wonderful natural musical
talents. All our readers are familiar with
the history of this prodigy, and need not
be told of his brilliant performances on the
piano. A parallel to his case does not ex-
ist perhaps in the world. The strange
freak of nature which deprived him of all
the usual faculties of the human mind, save
that of extreme sensitiveness to sound, rem
ders him one of the most remarkable be-
ings of the age and his performances of the
most astonishing nature. The sale of
tickets and seats to these concerts will
commence at West & Johnston's on Fri
day.

PROF. ANDERSON AND HIS Won
DERFUL DECEPIToNs-The Jam Last
Nigh.-We. regret the circumstances which
prevent an extended r.otice to-day of Prof.
Anderson and his deserving exhibitions.
We promise our readers to do better in the
future. Last night Virginia Hall was pack
ed, rammed, crammed, and jammed with
people, who were spell-bound, witnessing
the new and supernatural feats he per-
forms.
Among the most astonishing of them is
the suspension act as performed in costume
by one of the beautiful ladies of the Com
pany. This act alone is worth the price of
admission, and never fails to excite the
wonder of the audience as to how IT is pos
sible to suspend body in mid air, sup
ported only by a small pole underneath the
elbow. This must be seen to be appreciat-
ed, and to be seen, one must 90 early, as
the crowd will be great.

mot A CENT FOR TRIBUTE BUT
MILLIONS FOR DEFENCE" ."-The City
Council, last evening, rejected the applica-
ton of Judge Meredith, asking pay for SER
vices rendered in the case of small notes,
recently decided by the Supreme court, and
but few moments before voted an appro-
priation of $500 to the First Virginia regi-
ment.
BY what reasoning they refused to pay
for services rendered, and paid $500 for
nothing, we cannot imagine, unless it be
that the regiment contains a few votes
more than Judge Meredith could give, if he
voted early and often. '.....-
We are fast losing what little good opin-
ion we entertained Of this body, and have
no doubt majority Of the voters Of Rich
mond will agree with us in short time.

There were rumors in New York
yesterday that the Ninth Regiment
would head a mob to lynch Stokes. The
officers of the regiment deny the rumor,
and hold themselves personally responsible
for the action of the troops. 1t was re-
ported Sunday night that Miss Mansfield
had disappeared. Stokes is confident of
acquittal, announcing that there is still
tale untold III connection with the affair.
He is to have speedy trial. Stokes
friends say that many physicians condemn
in unmeasured terms the action of the sur
geons in probing the wound in the abdo-
men. They hold that the condition of the
wounded man was such that this course
accelerated, if it was not the direct cause
of his death. The testimony of eminent
physicians on this point will probably con-
stitute conspicuous feature of the trial.

The Two Greele,s.

The fact is there are two Greeleys-Urban
Greeley and Rural Greeley. Rural Greeley is
the person over whom the farmers in the West
get enthusiastic. He is philosophical abstrac-
ton, who writes the good editorials in the Iri-
bune (the bad ones have been all written by
worthless fellows no longer in the Office, and
who knows almost every thing. Urban Greeley,
on the other hand, is a man well known to the
citizens of New York, who are not enthusiastic
about him. and who laugh when you speak Of
him. 1t is this one who s running for the Presi-
dency. He is rather an old body. with many
virtues, but egregiously incompetent in dealing
with men, and generally followed by train OF
scheming ne'er dU-wells, who flatter him gross
ly, an get money and recommendations to Of
flee ont of him without stint. Many things
which appear wildly improbable of Rural Gree
ley who discourses so wisely in the Tribune are
true as gospel Of Urban Greeley, who figures on
committees and 'confers' with Mr.. John Coch-

being satisfied from the large sale OF tickets already

that there will be no occasion for postponing the

to the public and tIcket-holders that the drawing
will positively take place on September 2sh prox.,
aud will not be postponed. An active demand for
tickets comes from every State and Territory OF the

management to ill every order for a ticket, as well
as to sell all the tickets, but those who apply irst
