OUTRAGE UPON OUTRAGE.-AnOther
outrage! Yet what of that? The rule
of the Boss, says tbs Richmond State, ia
but succession of outrages. The boards
of visitors of the Western, of the East
ern, and of the Central Asylums met
Thursday and turned out tried and
valued officers to make way for Ma
homes henchmen. 1t may well be ask
ed, what have regulators to do with
the care aud cure of the helpless mind
ed? AS much as the fiends of great
cities have to do with the children,
whom they MAIN and fog and force to
beg, or make music in the streets, only
to fill the pockets of their task-masters.
The crime Of the child torturer is no
greater than the crime of Mahone's
minions who make medmen their prey
Without thought of fitness, but only
mindful of the Boss's bidding, these
"visitors" have bartered their hearts for
the nod of the man they serve.
The first victims of the Boss were
cripples, and next in turn come the
helpless inmates of the Asylums. This
petty tyrant. his cruel nature not ap-
peased by the sport of kicking men on
crutches, has sought body for his fol-
lowers in the sufferiugs OF the mad
house. To him every groan and yell
has its worth in gold.-Lynchbwg i'd

SHOOTING AFFAIR. Danville prin-
ter named D. E. Graham, crazed by
liquor last Saturday night week, en-
deavored to force his way up stairs to a
room in the Arlington Hotel at that
place. Wyatt White, colored servant
at the hotel was sent up after him, when
Graham shot at him four times with q
pistol. Two balls struck White on the
hand, one lodged below the breast bone
and one struck Graham himself on the
hand. Graham then passed through the
dining room and jumped through rear
window about twenty five feet from the
ground. He was stunned and consid-
erably bruised by his fall. He was then
arrested. .t

The Alexandria Gazette gives us a
singular bit of social history in connec-
ton with the death of Mrs. Jane A.
Crouch, q colored woman, and teacher
of school in that city, who was great
ly respected. The Gazette says: ts
"She was the daughter of Townsend
Solomon, who was the body servant of
the late William Fowle, Esq, and was
very respectfully raised, receiving some
education, which she used in instruct
ing her race seven before the war. Re
moving to the District of Columbia, she
married, in Georgetown, s Nichols
Crouch, noted English musician
author of the air, Kathleen Mavour-
neen.' He went South, and she return
ed here during the war and resumed
her occupation as teacher"
This may account for many things in
the life of Crouch, the musician, and
may be the key to the mystery connect
ed With the famous Cora Pearl, of Pari.
sian natoriety, who is the reputed
daughter OF the author of kathleen
Mavourneen. "-Rich. State.

+ A few Readjusters pref end to believe
that the Democrats are res ponsible fol
the extra session of the Legislature A
party that had the majority in both
houses T yipg to divert public attention
from their own shortcomings, and place
the responsibility for an extra session
upon the minority! A bare statement
of the proposition shows it's absurdity
The Democrats voted against an exten
sion of the session In this thew did
right. They were opposed to an extra
session The same dodge was tried
when Holiday was Governor The
Legislature failed to pass new tax bill
and an appropriation bill, but Gov. Hoi.
liday was too wat.hful of the Interests
OF the people. He refused to call ali
extra session, and thus saved the State
thousands of dollars. Gov. Cameron.
however, did not pursue the same poll.
cy. 1t was not to be expected. Gov.
Holiday paid his own secretary; Gov.
Cameron has his paid by the State.
Gov. Holiday recsived $40, OOU, less the
cost of his secretary for foul years sala.
ry. Gov. Cameron received $50, 600 the
first year in the shape of a newly-re
paired and refurnished mansion. be-
sides salary and secretary's salary,
Gov. Cameron called the extra session
and the State must pay the extra cost,
estimated at not less than $40. OOO.-

JAMES RHODES STILL AT LARGE
James Rhodes, the principal in the muir
der of the two old people. John @. Mas.
sic and wife, of Albemarle, is still at
large. The evidence before the coro-
ner's jury seems to prove conclusively
that James Rhodes was the principal in
that horrible tragedy. A Charlottes,
vile correspondent of the Dispatch
says: 81.
"The evidence of the boy Charles
Rhodes with reference to the division
Of the money seems to be conclusive.
1t is said that Leroy Rhodes confesses
to have assisted in searching the house
and watching outside, but denies any
share in the killing
The same correspondent says:
zone of the northern police papers
contains the photograph of man want
ed in Nashville, Tenn, for murder, and
those who know Rhodes well state that
the photograph is fair picture of him.
AS it is known that he has been in Ten
nessee for several years, there is good
deal of surmising on this account. In
deed, the colored man Wood whom
Rhodes wished to box him up testified
that he (Rhodes) desired Wood to carry
him to Charlottesville or Scottsville and
express him to some point in Tennessee,
the address of which was written on q
