event of unusual interest not only to the
veterans Of the Civil War but to all the dwell

1t is now to meet in the city through which
it. soldiers marched into Virginia twenty

the Potomac has waited SO many years before
coming back to the city which was so long
its base of operations and which is now its
natural headquarters, delay which may be
ascribed to the fact that the Society has
never before been invited to meet here,
ought to make its coming this year all the
more welcome.
The old soldiers who have not seen their
Capital since the grand review of 1866 will

ful city, in its sprngtime garb, with its
promise of becoming much grander as the
Republic increases in greatness and wealth,
will doubtless remind them that they
did not build for a day but for all time when
they fought for the perpetuity of the Union.

The Police Court is still engaged in en-
couraging servants to steal from their EN-
poyers, the most prevalent and one of the
most demoralizing forms of theft in this
community. OF course that is not the inten-
tion of the Judge, but what else can he the
result OF the absurd disparity between the
sentences imposed for this crime and those
for other misdeanors ofless gravity and more
easy to detect Last week there were two
notable cases at least that illustrate this
point. y black girl giving her name as
Lucy a. Williams was before the cour.
Monday for robbing two OF her employers
successfully. One case fortunately had to
he sent to the grand jury but for stealing
a lot of ewelry from Mr.. Robert Thornton
she received the farcical penalty of thirty
days in jail which she will regard as an
agreeable holiday. At the same time an
old negress was arraigned for receiving a
gold ring, part of the stolen property, and
was fined only SO, with an order of restitu-
ton. ct is strange, by the way, that resti-
tuition is not more often made a part of the
sentence in these cases.) The next day the
notorious "Iohn Thomas" was arraigned
for robbing apparently every restaurant
he had been connected with the articles
being found in his room. He received alto.
gether six months in Jail, only the maxi
mum penalty for one case. No wonder board
Is high and the fare poor in most cases,
when honest men have to reimburse the
restaurants for such virtually unpunished
plundering as this. AS a contrast, on the
same day a small colored boy was sent to
the workhouse for sixty days for stealing
few dollars worth of flour from a wealthy
corporation, the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, which is amply able to protect its
own property. 1t is theft by those of our
own households which is so exasperatiug and
disturbing, and the punishment should be
proportional to the treachery and breach OF
trust involved. If short terms in Jail pro-
duce no more effect, it will be time TO con
slider the qualified introduction of the

II is scarcely fair to say that the abolition
Of the stamp-tax ON bank checks benefits only
bankers and their depositors. Mean men
would persist in giving unstamped checks
even to those of Us who keep no deposits in
bank, and the stamp had to be put on by
somebody. It scarcely benefits bankers al
ali, considering that it will be likely to in
crease the number OF small checks given, and
thereby the amount OF work to be done in
paying and entering them The taN was in
