J. Ms CAUSE MOVING ON.-It looks to
the people generally, from a philosophic
standpoint, that 81. N" has by se!f-mar-
tyrdom circumvalhted President Hayes
with his truth; that he will be compelled
shortly to recognize it in a special message.
So much for the martyr "J. NJ" who, it
appears, was the only man that held princi-
pies that lifts the veil that enshrouds the
South. 81. NJ" speaks tonight in Cu!-
pcper, and tomorrow night in Fredericks-
burg. He cannot speak too highly OF the
sympathy shown him whilst visiting these
places, and our readers may rest assured
there will be no pressure upon those who
attend his lectures, but upon those who re-
main aWaE.

RuNNwAY.-On Saturday between 10 and
II o'clock horse hitched to buggy be-
longing to Mr.. r. f. Farrar, OF uenrico
during the absence OF Mr.. Farrar), ran of
from the corner OF Tenth and Main streets.
He dashed down Bank street to Twelfth at
fearful speed, and being unable to make the
turn towards Franklin, ran upon the pave
merit and against the st. james Hotel and
was Knocked down, but soon got UP and
started with renewed vlgor towards Frank
lin. Soon after turning into Franklin
street the runaway team collded with
pbaeten in which were seated Mrs. Henry
Tyler and her little boy. The two were
thrown to the ground. Mrs. Tyler es-
capped unhurt, but her little boy was not so
fortunate, he receiving a cut across hsnose.
The mother and child were taken into the
reportorial room OF the Wing office, where
DR.. G. w. West was called in and dressed
the child's wound. The runaway team was
stopped on Franklin street in front of the
Constable's office, but not before the buggy
was made q complete wreck.
There are more runaway accidents in
Richmond than in any place of its size in
the country. The number OF narrow es-
capcs in the coarse OF year is astonishing.
A partial remedy will be for our police to
enforce severely the city ordinance in rela-
tion to persons leaving horses i'll the streets
unattended. ..-..

VENTILATION OF PRIVATE GRoUNDs.-In
addition to the recommendations OF the
Board of'Health in their annual report is
the following: An evil exists in this city in
the number OF close fences separating diff
fereut premises. This evil is not confined
to our city, but is one which has thus far
prevailed generally in cities. The thorough
ventilation Of the yards and grounds which
adjoin our dwellings is matter OF great
importance to the health OF the occupants.
These close fences serve to conceal the de-
posts Of refuse matter which negligent SER
wants and careless housekeepers fail to place
in vessels to be removed by the city autho-
rites. We have observed with great plea
sure that two or three citizens have discard
ed the old brick wall, or close wooden fence,
and left their premises in rear OF their dwell
ings protected by enclosures which admit
both Sunlight and free ventilation. They
evidently do not fear the visits OF the sani-
tary inspeetor-in fact, every passer-by be-
comes one. The supervision by the public
will ensure much greater cleanliness on the
part OF the occupants of dwellings,; the free
circulation OF air and sunlight to the pre-
misses will secure greater comfort and an
immunity from the diseases engendered by
filth and negligence.
In this connection we advise that no
shrubbery be planted next to the dwelling;
and if trees are allowed within the lot they
should be trimmed high enough to admit
sunlight and free ventilation.
CoUPeNs FOR FJNEs.-On Saturday Mr..
William L. Royal was engaged in prepar-
ing the papers for bringing this question

oner in jail under sentence to pay fine
has rendered payment of it in coupons, and
the officer having refused to accept pay
ment in them, Mr.. Royal will apply to the
Court OF Appeals for writ Of habeas cor
pus asking for his discharge. The coupons
being rendered at their face-value, the case
presents the question whether the State can
tax them as she is now doing. The petl-
