bv secretary Thomson.

BIZ Secretary Thompson.
Lincoln Hall was comfortably filed last
night, tho occasion being the seventh annual
commencement Of the law department Of tho
National University. Seated on the platform
were Secretary Thompson, Postmaster. Gcncral
Key, Horatio King, ESQ.,, Judge Macarthur,
the Japanese Minister Rev. DIR. Lanahan, and
Colonel Chase. The exercises were very enter
tanning, and were thoroughly enjoyed by all
present. Tho proceedings were pleasantly in.
tcrspersed by music. The stage front was
completely covered with rare plants and
flowers, filling the air with fragrance.
Rov. John Lanahan pronounced the inyoca.
tion, and an exceedingly entertaining address
was made by Hon. X. W. Thompson. lie said
when he was first engaged to speak he had
hoped to have nm opportunity TO prepare somc-
thing worthy OF the occasion, but failed. He
would take some little hazard in speaking ut
all. Ho could not speak Of the past his
tory Of tho institution, but, judging
of the past from the present It had made great
advances. That it had great many aivan-
tagcs, one being its location IN Washington,
where the opportunity to assimiaA ideas was
better than anywhere else. That the idea OF
starting a national university originated in
this city, and was supported by President
Madison. lie went On to give an idea of com
ihoh law anu 10 hlurtS thc graduates Charg-
ing them to he always honest, straightforward,
hard workers, &c. Ho also spoke OF civil and
common law; that the common law carried
the Bible and Christianity always before it. A
common lawyer and comnon.law judge
never undertook, the one to plead the other u
adjuhge the law, without the constant presence
OF the Bible. In conclusion. ho told tho gradu.
ateS to do their duty at all times and under al
circumstances like men, remembering that the
performance Of duty is the highest exercise o
mans faculties and opportunities. Mr.. Thomp
son then conferred the degrees upon the fol

PeddIinx In the streets-A Movement To-
ward Establishing an Ambulance Corps.
The Police Board met last night. A com
munication was received from the District
Commissioners, enclosing an opinion OF MIR.
Francis Miller assistant attorney for tho Dis
trict, relative to small street peddlers. The
opinion was called out by the case of a soap
pedder, recently arrested for selling without
license whose case was dismissed by the Police
Court. The attorney thought 1t better in
these small cases that the pcddlcrs, who were
cndcavoring to earn living, should be al-
lowed to do 80. MS il kept them out of the poor
house. Mr.. BrittOn stated that the original
complaint came from the trcasurer's Office, the
attention Of that office having been called to
certain pencil.pcddcrs by firm Of stationers.
Other statiOners came forward and said they
were perfectly willing that the peddlers should
not be ntcrfercd with. When the officers
made arrests they either found that the ped
oilers had permits from the District ComuIis-
sinners' office or tho Court dismissed the
cases.
A communication was read from the office
of the Mayor of Boston. asking for copy Of
the rules and regulations of the force. The
request was granted.
Mr.. SOmGrvillc, who recently, with Captain
Brock, inspected

Somcrvilc was of opinion that properly.

not cost more than $1,000. lie said that the
people In Richmond considered 1t one of the
best institutions in the city, and he himsel
had been very favOrahly imlr sscd with the
service. The subject was referred to MsJol
| Morgan and Secretary Curtis.
At present there is no provision in this city
for caring for persons taken sick or in
jurrd in the streets. The general practice
pmOng the police officers is to take the sufferer
into the nearest drugstore and rely upon thC
charity of some physician to give him attend
ancc. In cases of very serious accidents thC
parties arc sometimes taken to some hOspita
il a conveyance can be procured.

About three months ago Z. c. Linden and
Charles Kretz two young men hailing from
Washington, came to this city and opened the
Southern Tea Company at 0l2l Main street.
At first they did good business by selling
sugars, teas, and cofees at prices less than they
could be bought at wholesale. Last Friday week
Linden and Kretz left here for New York for
the ostensibo purpose of attending great tea
sale the following Saturday, since which time
they have not been heard from.
To-day several merchants of this city swore
out warrants against Kretz and Linden as ab-
scOndmg debtors, and the sheriff levied oil tho
stock. Mr.. Paul Winston, in looking over the
stock Of goods, found that nearly all the chests
supposed to be filled with fine teas contained
sawdust, and several bags supposed to contain
coffee were filled with corn.
About half-past one o'clock High Constable
Whiting attached the stock for rent. The
amount of their indebtedness including rent
will amount to about 81, 800.
