DASHING THOROUGHBREDs.-Dr. Mat
thews, of Manchester, has recently eX-
changed a single-horse team for double
one, and the new pair of thoroughbreds
have the reputation Of being: about the
best travellers in the Free State. Yester-
day afternoon the horses, attached to light
DOCTORS buggy, were standing on. Governor
street, near Oscar Cranz's, while DR.. Mat
thews had goneinto one Of the stores near by
to make some purchases. A small boy stood
on the curbstone watching them, when all
of sudden they started down Governor
street at break-neck speed. "Whoa!" was
of no avail, and fast and furious the horses
ran, while every one rushed to the street to
see what was the matter. They made
straight for the building Of the Richmond
OF Main and Thirteenth streets, turning not
to the right nor to the LETT. MIR. John g..
Davis, the president OF the bank, happened
to be out at the time. Cashier NJ: s. Quarles
SAYS he saw the thoroughbreds coming to-
ward the building ina Decline, butthought
that the old cannon planted at the curbing
at the corner would stop them. Not so, for
crash went the great plate-glass on the main
floor, and smash went the glass in the base
ment. One Of the horses ran his head
through The window, while the other tried
TO enter the bank by the corner door. The
sensation among the bank officers was
panicky.- Mr.. .Gosden hid himself in the
vault. Mr.. Cauthorn and Mr.. Battaile,
both horsemen, gave an awful shudder, and
Mr.. Sinton, Mr.. Henry, and Mr.. Steed cried
out in their alright, though after it was all
over Mr.. Steed made the facetious pun that
60 one steed was enough for any bank.''
The plate-glass was very thick and expen-
sive, and was handsomely lettered with the
bank SIGN,

LOCAL MATTERS.

LEGIsLATIvE.-It is understood that the
| S. 7. readiusters-or. at least several OF
their leaders-desire to have the election of
Capitol officers postponed until about the
first Of March, in order that they may have
| full time to investigate, see their way Of
doing business, observe the officials habits
and those Of their employees, and generally
and specially qualify themselves to Judge Of
the fitness Of the present incumbents.
| The House Committee on Finance yester-
| day appointed subcommittee of five, with
W.T.. Taliaferro as chairman, to inyesti-
gate the basement offices. The view is to
ascertain the pay, hours of business, &C.,
&C., for the purpose Of determining whether
any reform in the manner OF conducting
sbusiness can be made which Will enure to
the benefit OF tie Treasury.
1t is hinted that a sharp communication
will shortly appear from the Treasurer re-
sponsive to the statement OF General Rogers
in the $4,000 double-funding transaction.
Mr.. J. j. MacKinnon, OF the American
and British Bonding, Funding, and Bank
ing Association OF London Uimited) who
some years ago dallied with Governor Kem-
per about refunding our debt, and then got
in Jail, is in Tennessee teaching finance to
the S. P. readjusters OF that State. Several
northern newspapers have recently seen fit
to publish biographical sketches of Mac
Kinnon, in which his exploits in Richmond
were duly commented upon.
Judge B. ". LacY's case is before the
House Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions, and the signs are very favorable to
him. s,...
The House Committee for Courts Of JUS
tice have been instructed to inquire whether
or not DR.. Pollard, the gentleman acting as
Commissioner Of Agriculture, is legally en-
titled to do so. The Governor app ointed
and the Senate confirmed DR.. Pollard two
or three months before the law creating the
office became operative. The newspapers
found out the blunder and informed the
Capitol and the public. ...,...... =
DR.. Pollard, however, did not qualify
until the law became operative. Then the
Attorney-General decided that he had the
right to do so under the provision allowing
the Governor to fill vacancies, &c.
The average statesman in the Legislature,
as elsewhere, when he gets excited says
many things that he ought not to say, and
neglects to say many things he ought to say.
