THE CONSERVATIVE EXCURSION TO
PETERsBURG.-Yes Yesterday eleven or more
passenger cars and flats, CARRYING possibly
q thousand persons, started at 81 D. M,
from this city to join in political demon
stration in Petersburg. Judging from the
accounts furnished by the morning papers.
Petersburg was aglow with light, the
smallest hovel as well as the ralatial man.
sion being illuminated. After walking the
Richmond visitors seven miles through the
various streets they halted them before
q. stand, where during the evening
General Kemper and Governor Walker
addressed the crowd. Several of the
Richmond parties returned here with
battered visages, the result, as they say, of
being stoned at the Manchester crossing
and in Petersburg. They must have given
some provocation for the conduct alleged.
A colored man is alleged to have been
killed, and several minor outrage are said
to have been committed by the gentlemen
from Richmond. We suppose the truth
will leak out in day or two.
Since the above was in type. our Peters,
burg letter came to hand, which will be
ound in another column, and to which we
refer our readers.

SCHEMES or CHASCE-Sharpers of New
York seem to have Pandora's box at their
command, or their ingenuity to crea te
rascalties is li,nitless Chance schemes,
promising untold returns to the holders Of
successful numbers. seem to be the thing
to catch that class of men who are termed
fools, because they quickly part with their
money. One of the latest tricks practiced
to entrap the unwary is the Mercantile
Prize Association of Carter, Banks & Co.,
No. 43 New street. New York. Through
Autographed circulars, this pretended firm
informs people that the drawing will tax e
place on a certain date, and that every
ticket must take prize, which the vim er
need BOT accept-lrhen fOrwarded-if he
does not choose to. The tickets having
been purchased, another circular is for
warded by mail, stating that certain su m
of money must be sent to secure the prizes
and to pay freight. If the second install l.
ment is sent, nothing more is heard of the
prize association. We have some of the
prize tickets purchased by young man of
this city, which have already cost him sew
eral dollars, and now the sharpers ask 70 r
mo'e-the more they will never receive.
Our readers are warned against all such
tricks

An INTERESTING ANNIVERSARY. - The
sixth anniversary of the Howard street
colored Baptist Church, on the first instant
was highly interesting. The interior of tn
church was beautifully adorned with ever
greens and brilliantly Illuminated. After
an impressive prayer there was the singing
of an appropriate hymn, and then followe d
an address by Senator James HI. Ingraha M.
1t was confined to the advantages which
had flowed upon the colored people all over
the country from the emancipation pro ella
nation. 1t had benefited them spiritua lily,
physically and politically. They would
continue to improve until they became the
equal of every other and most highly
civilized race on the face of the
globe Look at what the Jews had
done, end where they were socially and
financially after years of the most dire
prosecutions. The colored people would
emulate their example. The Saba tn and
secular schools would prepare the minds of
the colored young for their future state on
this sphere and in the higher realm. The
address was followed by singing and the
distribution Of presents.
The congregation of the church numbers
about 600, and is increasing. The number
of children in the Sunday school is 800;
teachers 10. Officers of the Sunday school
j. w. Watson, superintendent; A. Tilgman,
assistant superintendent; Winter johnson,
treasurer; G. X. johnson, secretary; Il.

INTERESTING TRIAL IN THE CRIMINAL
CoURT Attorney General Field continues
to pursue f. Martini and Dido Baptiste,
the men charged with the murder of A.
Carafa, at the lake last August. The testi-
monv adduced yesterday was OF an or
binary character, the most interesting of
which we give below. The evidence given
by Captain Malone, chief of detectives,
was to the point of how he first obtained
information of the case, and how he chased
an the subject from item to item. 1t is
evident he knows his business, and to him
may be attributed, in great part, all that
is at present known concerning the murder.
The following was testified to by DR..
Bemiss. surgeon for one Of the insurance
companies, and as an expert:
DR.. Bems-Is examining physician OF
the ST. Louis Life Insurance Company; An
tonic Carata and Martini were present at
fhe examination: Carafa did not speak Eng
lish; Martini did and acted as interpreter;
1, after the usual examination, gave d
recommendation to the company to insure
Carafa; Carafa was at that time in healthy
condition Policies were offered in evil
dencej II is my opinion that Carata dld
not come to his death by accidental drown
ing; such is my professional conclusion; the
nature or appearance of the wounds did
not indicate that they were made after
drowning; the appearance OF corpse, when
caused by drowning is different from one when
death is caused by violence; the evidence
indicates that the neck had been broken
(Mr Sanbola filed bill of exceptions to
the doctors opiniOn) hair of a corpse will
change its color under certain circum-
stance& ordinarily the tint of hair will not
change in the grave, but the hair VIII grow;
did not see deceased after death; expert
ments have been made on dead bodies to
ascertain the difference between wounds
shade before death and one afterward.
At this juncture the court adjourned
Eudge Abeii expressing sympathy with the
flryInen. zskinG them to bear up patiently
Ender their temporary deprivations. The
Twelve, ~ tooks, expressed their willing
ness to aerform their duty. The trial will
ase resumed to day.
