SHERIDAN e. MACK COMBINATION. The
Sheridan g. Mack Combination commence
an engagement at the Richmond Theatre to-
morrow evening. One Of the New Orleans
papers says that Sheridan and Mack are ex-
ceedingly clever in their specialties, and in
certain acts-notably the sketch of "Bad
Whiskey Prise to true dramatic greatness.
They are surrounded by corps of artists
of more than ordinary capacity.
Alice Jourdain, as the gay representative
of the dashing swell, is eminently acceptable
as the embodiment of vivacity and dashing
abandon, coupled with the pleasing attri-
butes of an agreeable voice, excellent taste
in dress, and an expressive countenauce.
OF the other members Of the Combination
the paper speaks in equally as high terms.

THE TEMPLE OF JUSTICE PRoFANED-Row
AT THE oM-doUsE.--Saturday morning
about II O'Clock, while the crowd of Radl-
Gals was assembled at the cuStom-house to
chatter about the letter of Mr.. Edmunds,
which proposes the withdrawal of both Bur.
CESS and Smith, a difficulty occurred between
two of the representative men of the con-
tending factions. Joe Cox, janitor of the
custom-house and leader OF the Burgess
side in Madison Ward, was approached
by ". J. S. Bowe. local agent of the Post
Office Department in Richmond and secre-
tary of the Smith District Committee, who
charged him with causing the publication in
the Eoentng Journal Of local paragraph 10
which it was stated that he (Bowe) was Que
of the disorderly set who have recently been
disturbing Burgess meetings. Cox replied,
expressing his contempt for BoWe. This
was more than Bowe could stand, and he
accordingly struck at Cox twice. Cox re-
turned the compliment with interest, and
there was general scutfle. right at the
Gust om- house door. Some one commanded
"peace in the name of the Commonwealth"
bystanders put themselves between the COM
batants, and there was cessation of hostili-
ties, though many angry words were shot
through the air.
Landon Boyd, another shining light in the
Burgess faction, about this time stepped up
and INQUIRED what was the matter. A gen.
t,eman remarked, "Ob, you are too late; the
f;oht is oyer.n Bowe was then standing out
oH the pavement, and Boyd going in that
direction. ip shorter period than 1t takes
tn toll il, they became embroiled in hand.to.
hand encounter. Boyd severely punished
Rowe by projecting his clenched fist in too
close proX,mity to one of BoVe'S optical or
gsns. When the fighting was most oespe-
rate one of Bowe's friends rushed TO his ald.
This latter belligerent was selzed ana struck
by Clark>on, Boyd's friend, ano, like Boyo,
employed by Burgess. For moment boyd,
Carkson, BoWe, and the others were SO
mixed up that no one could easily tell Whlcu
was which. But peaceably.inclned persons
again interfered, and no blood was sheo.
The amount of bruising done was trlnlns III
comparison with the number ana Violence
of the eXpletives USED.
It was suggested that Commissioner Atkins
should take the case in hand and punlsn tne
disturbers of the peace, but upon lnVesuga-
ton it was found that jurisdiction OF tne
territory upon which the custom.nouse
stands had never been ceded by the state 10
the United States. Therefore there was no
action on the part of the United States au-
thorities.
Some time after the afray-or, rather,
after the two affrays-Captain Disney
arrested Cox, Bowe, Boyd, and Clark
son (all of whom are colored). They were
taken before justices John +. Meredith and
W. Hall Crew and bailed to appear at the
Police Justices court this morning at 93
o'clock. eRn
