DIES MONA penny postman named
Young applied to the marshal of the Police
Court yesterday for 81 25 as fee for attending
in case Of assault and battery on himself
while in the discharge Of his duty as letter car
rier by colored rufian on the street, who was
ssa AND Jan 0 sas
the Post Office had refused to pay him for the
day he was absent as witness, and had
referred him to the Police Court for his fee.
The marshal explained to him that the law
makes no provision for pay Of witnesses in the
Police Court when the lines and costs are not
paid by defendants
looks like q small business to deduct pay when
the carrier was absent attending TO a case in
which he was assaulted in the performance of
his Official duties.
ALLEGED DIsRxPUTABLE HousE.-For some
time past complaints have been made by ma ny
respectable residents in the northern portion of
the city of the character Of a house in an alley
between 18th and 1ith streets, and l. street and
Massachusetts, avenue, and last night Major
Richards gave an order to Lieutenant Eckloff,
OF the Sixth precinct, to make a raid on it,
which that officer proceeded to do, and took
into custody Alice johnson and Robert John
son, foreman OF the Hook and Ladder Com
pany,) Emma Brooks, Maggie Lewis, Mary
johnson, Caroline Smith, and Thos Sud- m
AL colored, and locked them up. This morning
the case was continued, the two alleged princi-
pals, Robert and Alice johnson, giving $500
and the others 500 each for hearing to- NOR
row.
CHARGE OF PERJURY-This morning Julia
Stewart, a colored woman, was brought before
Judge Smell, charged with perjury. and after a
hearing was committed for action of the grand
jury. Julia was summoned few DAYS since to
give testimony in the case of a charge of high
way robbery against Spider Brown and Charles
Read, and swore that she knew nothing about
the case; that she was not present. &c. 1t has
since been sworn to by others that she was pres
emit, and saw and heard all that passed betw cen
the accused and the victim, whom, it Is alleged,
was drugged and robbed by Brown and Real.
SMALL POx.-Only one case Of small pox has
been reported since yesterday-on Q, between
list and North Capitol streets northwest.

THE SCHOOLS.

We trust that our Legislature will come
together determined to retrieve the lost
ground in educational matters. We have
been sadly and criminally negligent of the
children in the country during the past
two years. The report of Mr.. Ruffner.
shows dangerous retrogression. What
ever else it may or may not do, let the
Legislature provide first generously for
the schools. Whoever would crown
Virginia with glory, and maintain her
credit and honor, let him secure the best
education to all her children.

COME TO RICHMOND.

The season has come when numbers of
our northern friends are seeking the genial
climate of the South for health and pleas
ure. Most of them pass through Rich.
mond on their way to the Carolinas and
Florida. Now, while we do not want to
rob our neighbors of their visitors, we wish
to say word in favor of this city and state
as winter residence. Richmond is one OF
the most beautiful and healthy cities on the
continent. The winter climate is mild and
delightful, not damp and rainy as gen.
orally supposed. The change from New
England and all the states of that
latitude is sufficiently great to affect
favorably all invalids of pulmonary
tendencies. 1t is not so far South as to in
cur the difficulties, experienced in Florida
and the gulf states, of difficult communi.
cation with home, and extreme heat at
times, even in winter. 1t has every
social opportunity and entertainment, q
large, varied, cultivated society. Its hotels
are among the very best. If not as much
glitter and style as in some places, there is
substantial comfort and every needed lux
ury and attention. We hope our northern
exchanges will say kind word for us, and
assure their readers of warm welcome
here on their southern trip. Everybody
should aim to stay few weeks here be-
fore going farther south, or on their return.
We are convinced that many invalids who
go to the far South are injured by the
extreme change. We know personally
many persons who have come here with
consumption, bronchitis and other lung
and throat diseases, who are well now.
We have crisp, beautiful weather, but no
enervating heat as in the gulf states.
Many who go there suffer terribly from
home-sckness, and from the difficulty of
obtainig the accustomed luxuries of their
northern homes. All these can be had in
our beautiful city, and we ask again al
travellers, sick or well, to come and visi,
us and abide with us till spring smile!
again on their northern climes.

THE Financial Chronicle notices con-
tinued improvement in the condition of
the New York money market. There has
been considerable accumulation of bank
notes during the past month, though they
are not in such plentiful supply as to over
load the banks or disturb the monetary
operations. Orders for currency were sup
piled last week at one eighth per cent. dis
count, while at present the price is par.
Currency in considerable amounts has re-
Gently been sent West and South for the
movement of the crops. and large amount
has also been quietly absorbed by the saw
ings banks.
The recent plethora of currency in the
New York banks incidentally brought to
light matter of no little Importance. The
banks, says The Chronicle, were so incom-
NODDED by the accumulation Of currency
that they began to sort out the bills Of
country banks and present them for re-
demption at the various agencies. In sew
eral instances the redemption agents res
ponded that they had no deposits with
which to meet such demands. The notes
were accordingly held for protest, and
would have been protested, had the ple-
thora continued. Here is a matter that
evidently requires the attention Of the
Comptroller Of Currency, and perhaps of
Congress. The law requiring national
banks to keep an actual deposit of money
for the redemption of their notes, at desig-
mated agencies, ought to be either enforced
or abolished.
The Chronicle states that the New York
banks now hold over $40, 1000, 900 of green
backs, and that they are manifesting de.
termination to hold much larger reserve
Of greenbacks than they have heretofore
done, as the best safeguard against the
effects Of such financial outbreak MS we
have lately experienced. Furthermore,
the interest-paying banks have discovered,
as result OF the recent panic, that they
are liable to lose their deposits at ,uinous
rate whenever public confidence is shaken
consequently, their reserves will now be
rigidly scrutinized by their country cores
pondents.
