afterwards received from Randolph, though
In small sums, he ought to have turned
over to Bowden, until he had secured title TO
Randolph, and to have run no risk OF not
being able to make the payments to BOW
den when they fell due. But 1t would be
harsh Judgment to say that his not doing SO
evidenced an intention to cheat and defraud
Randolph. It is more probable, and it is
more Just, TO conclude that he calculated
upon being able, and bona fde intended, to
make the payments to BoWdcn when they
fell due, from other sources, In whlch ne
was disappointed by misfortune, which re-
duced him to bankruptcy, and that his Iait-
.ure to fulfil his contract and to secure Ran
dolph's title was, though censurable, rather
his misfortune than CRIME. But ne mao
reduced the amount due on Randolph's iot
to eighty-seven dollars, which Randolph
paia to Bowden, and received his deed
with the approval OF the prisoner, who,
though discharged from his legal liability
BY the act of bankruptcy, revived it by bis
promise to refund the amount to Randolph.
The Court is clearly of opinion that the
evidence is wholly insufficient to establish
the fraudulent intent, which conclusion is
strengthened by the fact that the prisoner
has resided in this city for twenty-seVen
years in good repute..
Upon the foregoing grounds the Court is
Of opinion to reverse the Judgment and to
remand the cause.

PROFESSOR MINORS SorREE.-The last
soirfe given, by Professor Minor at Monti-
cello Hall on Friday was one OF the most en-
joyable OF the season, and we regret that we
have not the space TO give it the notice it
deserves. The tableauX, "Washington
Crossing the Delaware" was beautiful, and
was gotten up in the Professors best style,
which is indeed saying great deal for it.
Master Eddie Paynter represented General
Washington strlkingly, and was assisted by
Masters George and Willie Mountcastle,
Isadore Becher, Willie Glenn, Charlie
Hughes, Willie Mcdowell, Leon Straus.
Willie Paynter, and SAM: Ragland. The
fancy dances were beautiful, and admirably
executed. Miss Katie Hunt danced diff
cult medley hornpipe exquisitely; and
Misses Mary Becher and - Tribbett
executed their respective dances most
gracefully.
The sailors hornpipe was we'll executed
by Masters Eddie Paynter, Albert Meyer,
Charles Hughes, and Leon Straus. PROBES
,sor Minor is to be congratulated upon the
uniform success that has always attended
his entertainments, and especially 30 upon
that Of Friday evening.

LARGE SHIPMENT OF EGGS TO THE NORTF.
One would scarcely believe it, but it is a
fact, that upwards OF seventeen thousand
eggs were shipped by one concern on Fri
day to Philadelphia by the Southern Ex-
press Company from this city. Superin-
tendent Gibson has reduced his express
charges on eggs, and vast number OF them
are now being sent to the North, to be used
during Lent. The train leaving here on
Sunday night carried fourteen hundred
large crates of eggs, shipped by express to
the City OF Brotherly Love. The night train
from Richmond reaches Philadelphia about
A. NJ, and the eggs arrive there in ample
time for market. ... .

IMMUNITY FROM TAXATION.


The facts of the case are that at the time
the Virginia Central Railroad Company en-
tered into the contract for the construction
OF the Chesapeake and Ohio railroadth the law
was construed not only by said company,
but by the commissioners with whom they
were contracting, as comforting upon the
company an entire immunity from taxation,
and this was one of the inducements ope-
rating upon the company to make the con-
tract, as is shown by the agreed statement
of facts in the suit, referred to in the mes
sage of the Governor. 1t also appears from
said statement that the State authorities
themselves for considerable time after the
formation of the new company construed
the law. as exempting all OF the property Of
the company from taxation, and the Circuit
Court OF the city OF Richmond decided that it
was exempt from all State taxes. The Court
OF Appeals reversed in part this Judgment,
and declared that part OF our property
was exempt, but part was liable. This
question involves one of the most valuable
rights Of this company, and one which any
manager of the road could not have yielded
without dereliction Of duty, without an ap-
peal to the court Of final resort. This action
was contemplated by the act of 1874.
