ANOTHER FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY was
stated in yesterdays Gazette that at the IN
stance of certain parties in London and New
York rule had been awarded against General
Asa Rogers, the Second Auditor, returnablc at
the first day Of the next term of the Court OF
Appeals to show cause why writ of mazda
mus should not be issued to require him to
fund certain bouds Of the State Of Virginia
held by the said parties who hold about $780,
GOO of the old bonds Of the State of Virginia,
and pevcr until the last week or ten days pre-
scptcd them to be funded When they did 50
present them the Second Auditor refused to
fund them in coupon bonds with coupons at
tached receivable for taxes, as requested
holding that the act of Assembly declaring
what should be received for taxes and the act
appropriatug money for the payment OF inter-
est upon the public debt, both passed at the
session '7l-'72, amended the funding bill so as
to exclude all persons from the privilege of
funding in said coupon bonds who had failed
to present their bonds before the passage OF
these acts. Counsel for the bond-holdcrs claim
that the act declaring what should be received
i:,r taxes has been pronounced unconstitutional
and void by the Court of Appeals, and that the
clause in the appropriation bill referred to does
not reach this question at all, no interest hay
ing been collected on these bonds. The Rich
moud Enquirer says:
This case involves several million dollars,
for if these parties are allowed to fund their
old bonds under the original tauding bill, as
they assert they have the right to do, there are
thousands of other holders who will demand
the exercise Of like privilege. The Attorney
General, who represented the Second Auditor
and the Commonwealth, made no objection to
the awarding of the rule, but asked that it
might be made returnable at the next term of
the court, which meets on the first Monday in
November and the court so ordered.

\ FORTUNATE DISCOVERY. Mr.. &. j.
Faulkner, ia a recent interview with the Pres-
dent, whom he visited at the request of the
Board Of Directors of the Berkeley Agrlculiur
al Association. for the purpose of inviting him
10 attend their Annual Fair in September, dis
covered what may turn out to be, If properly
worked a mine of wealth to the office seekers
uf old Berkeley This discovery was no less
important than the fact that both the Prcsden-
tial tather-in- law Dent aud brother in law Casey
are related to old Berkeley.
From Mr. Faulkncr's letter to the Board de-
claring the results of his interview, it seems
that Mr. Dent spent much of the early period
of his life in Hampshire and Berkeley, and was
familiar with the names and history of most Of
the prominent uJividuals..who figured in those
counties towards the close of the last and dur
ing the first quarter of the present century, and
Casey is IA direct dcsceudant" of we'll known
Berkeley family, his grandfather having inter
married with the oldest daughter Of Major
Andersen Wagginer, Of the Bunker Hill neigh
borhood He expressed warm desire to visit
that section and said if the President should
attend their Annual Fair in September, he
would cnIeavor to avail himself OF the occasion
to make his long desired visit to Berkeley coun-
~.
This relationship, SO opportuncly discovered,
ought to yiell revenue to the county, 10 the

which has lately been clrricd out by their re-
quest Last week barber doing bu mess near
the old market was brought before Ju>tic'
White on the charge of shaving his customers
on Sunday but The Justice, it is alledyed, de-
cned to hear the case because the offence
charged was violation Of the State law and
not city ordinance. The offender will there
fore be indicted by the grand jury, which meets
TO day. Yesterday two colored BARRIERS, sns-
pccting a white barber named Guvernator, Of
violating the law. broke into his shop and found
their suspicious confirmed. Guvernator showed
fight, elected them and this morning had them
arraigued before the Police Court for trespass.
Justice White, after hearing the evidence, dis
charged the accused, but warned them that
they had no right to constitute themselves de-
tccrivrs and invade a mans place Of business

Of the second police precinct, received lntorma-
ton yesterday morning, that u nau named y.
G.. Waltied, alias Everly, u farm Iaborcr in the
employment of Mr. lloratio Griffith, a leading
farmer of Howard county Md, had formed a
plan to clope with the daughter OF his employ
er, girl not yet fifteen years old, vino hau been
placed by her parents at u boarding school ut
Lisbon, in Montgomery county, Md, and fuith
er, that it was their intention to be married
this morning, at the Tnyson house, in this city.
Lieut.. johnson, thinking there was something
wrong about the affair 1.-THE girl being under
fifteen years Of age set about his plans to pre-
vent the intended marriage. He accordingly
went to police headquarters, and after consul
ta'iou with Maj. Richards, Detectives Miller
and McEltresh were detailed to assist the Lieu
tenant A Geographic dispatch was sent at
ouce to Mr.. lloratio Griffith, who was serving
on jury at E:licOtt City, informing him that
his daughter was about TO run away from
school with this man and advising him to
act promptly. Lieutenant johnson, then dis.
patched Detective Miller and Officer PIatf to
Blairs gate, in the county, to intercept the
clippers if possible, while himself and Dctec-
tive MclIltrcsh took their station 10 the viclni
ity of Thyson hotel, to watch them in case
they arrived from any other direction. The
officers were, however, saved any further par
ticlpation in the matter, as the father Of the
girl on receiving the dispatch from this city,
started at once from EIlIcott City to Lisbon,
distance Of about ~ miles, when he discovered
that his daughter had already lett the school
He summoned three young men to accompany

JOSIAH Quincy ON RAILROAD REFORM
Mr. Elagg, President OF the Illinois State
Farmers Association. which is just beginning
war upon the raIro IDS, having written to
Josiah Quincy, of Boston, asking his views re-
gariing the contest the latter responds III an
interesting lcttcr,in which he says My own
opinion is that ultimately there will be great
freight railroads connecting the distant West
and the interior with the Atlantic ; that the
road bed and the stations will belong to the
Government that individuals or associations
will be permitted to put their own cars and
locomotives upon it under strict regulations as
to specd. which should not exceed eight miles
an hour, paying such toll as would give six
per cent on the actual cost, and keep the road
bed and stations in repair. As there would be
no necessity to 90 upon Sidings to make way
for express trains, the transportation would be
about as rapid and far more certain than at
present.. On such road prices would be re-
duccd by competition, and the amount of Ca
pacty for carriage would be enormous, amount
ing to millions Of tons annually. Such is my
individual opinion as to what will ultimately
take place As before stated, the first step
is for thinking men to decide what had best to
be done, so as to do Justice to the capital fairly
invested in railroads, and yet protect the inter
cSts Of the people. y
