A CHARGE OF HIGHWAY R0BgERY.-Lastl
night about 1880 O'clock citizen OF Gooch-
land named Robertson was found by Police
man Burkert lying at the corner OF Mayo
and Franklin streets in drunken condition,
and with his face all cut and bloody, proha-:
bly, from a fall, After Robertson was car
ried to the First station-house Mr. Robert
Il. Faircloth reported TO the officers that
Robertson had been robbed by man named
Thomas Purcell, a painter, who came here,
some time ago. from Toledo or Cinein-
natl.
7 RobertsoR, it seems, was in the Theatre
Comique noisy, and was put ont by. Fair
cloth; and Faircloth and Purcell endeayor-
ed to carry him to his hotel. They went
with him to the eIboarding-house opposite
the Police Court, and there left him, Pur-
cell to get hack, Faircloth to return to the
hall. Near the Exchange Purcell told
Faircloth that he had Robertson's, pocket
book. he gave Faircloth 50 and threw the
pocket-book away. Faircloth at once re-
turned to. the, Theatre Comique and told
Captain Putnam, and the police were then
notified by EFairc]otf. Purcell met up with
Robertson in the hail. probably for the first
time.
On PurceiPs person, when he was arrested
by Sergeant Howard, about ILLS, there was
found S7.55 in United States currency and
four one-dollar Virginia Treasury notes.
The two dollars given to Faircloth was also
turned over to the police authorities. Pur-
cell told MFR. William Jones in the hall that
his name was Green, and that he was a
.song-and dance man. At the station-house
he gave his name as Thomas James.

REPORT OF THE AUDITOR OF PUBLIC AC-
c0vNTs.--Thc report Of the Auditor OF
Public Accounts, just made, after stating
the debt OF Virginia, says ''the financial
condition OF the Commonwealth is calcu-
lated to inspire hope that, with judicious
legislation and the reform to be expected
from the constitutional amendments, the
time Is not remote when the revenues OF
the State will be amply sufficient to meet
its obligations without resorting to extra
ordinary measures OF relief, or TO an in
crease Of the rate OF tax upon the property
Of the State.' .sg
The amount paid for criminal charges
{: during the last fiscal year was $154, ,963.0l,
only. S2,2 ~ less than the year before"
1t is estimated that the current expense
Of Government during the year will be
l,06S, ,199. ~ 2'
The act imposing taxes,"' the Auditor
thinks. "is n good one, and needs but little
amendment" He suggests that ''only such
sections be amended or modified as expe-
riencc has shown TO require change" He
hopes the Legislature will require ga clear
ly-defined percentage of the taxes to be paid
into the Treasury by the 18th Of December,
and the residue in March, rs was the case
prior TO the war; OF, il deemed best, to re-
luire one half the taxes to be paid by the
l'li vi DeCeiNDcI, anu Luc D.hduSp oI VI
before the 18th OF June thereafter"
1.-The balance OF arrears due the school
fund is 1882, 132 2G, which will be paid over
when there is money in the treasury"
The Auditor doubts il it is wise to allow
= railroad company to value its own pro-
perty for taxation.
The Auditor is of opinion that the retalia-
tory tax OH foreign insurance companies
needs amendment, and he submits whether
8 it would not be well to originate plan for
collecting taxes from foreign companies,
which having no agencies in this State yet
continue to collect premiums on old polices
by mail or otherwise.
