OLD DOMINION TEAMSHIPS.

Principal Omee Moved from Rockets 10
Main and Thirteenth streets.
The Old Dominion Steamship Com
pany have rented the Office formerly oc-
cupied by the Richmond Banking and
Insurance Company, southeast corner
of Main and Thirteenth streets. and are
now engaged in equipping it with the
necessary outfit for first-class office.
This movement is proof of the desire
of the company to serve the merchants
and manufacturers of Richmond. They
have located on the street leading to the
Tobacco, Corn, Flour, and Cotton Ex-
changes. and in the very heart of busi-
ness. Commodore McCready was in
Richmond about two weeks ago looking
after the interests of the great company
of which he has been president since its
formation, and one Of the results of his
visit was the handsome uptown office.
The company proposes to make its
passenger department an especial fea-
ture i'll the future. and with connections
by the Chesapeake and Ohio railway
and Richmond and Petersburg and Nor
folk and Western railroads, will put
passengersin New York in about twenty
four hours after leaving Richmond.
The present officers of the company
are Commodore n. l.. McCready.
president Isaac Bell, vice-president;
John NJ. Robinson, vice-president;
Captain ii. A. Bourne, general super
intendent W. ii. Stanford. secretary
and general freight agent; W. l.. Gull
laDderr. assistant secretary and general
freight agent.
The great development of the Old
Dominion Steamship line reflects credit
on the chief officers of the con-
pany. and shows the healthy and steady
advance Of the Old Dominion and her
cities and towns. We remember when
the Old Dominion Steamship Company
consisted of the Hatteras and Abe
marie, commanded respectively by those
gallant old tars, Captain Lewis Parrish
and Captain Henry A. Bourne, the latter
now the general superintendent of the
company. The company's fleet now
consists Of the following vessels. truly !
called in New York the g Cunard line Of |
the United States" because Of the
good management ON land and at sea,
and also of the high class of vessels |
owned by the company in the various
lines controlled and managed by them
viz. Seneca, 2,700 tons Guyandotte, |
2,300 tons; Wyanoke, 1000 tons
l,400 tons Roanoke, 1900 |
tons; Old Dominion. ZOO tons Man
haitian, l,500 tons Breakwater, 1000
tons. They also have fleet of ten
inland steamers running in the waters
Of Virginia and North Carolina tribu-
lary to the main line.

pany propose to have the clock in tn

Since the entanglements in the Audi
tors office have been brought to light
by reason Of the arrest of Mr.. W. r.
| Smith. the attention of the Governor
has been called to the manner in which
the county clerks and treasurers have
been paying dues into the State Trea-
sury. Yesterday he sent to Mr.. Nor
ton Marye. Auditor of Public Ac-
counts. the following communication
Dear Sir. In connection with irrcgu-
larities and alleged frauds which have
occurred in the payment of money into
the public Treasury through a long
series of years, to which the attention
of the Governor has been called otii-
cially, which irregularities could not
have occurred if the law had been COM
piled with, your attention is called to
the provision of the statute as embodied
in the 7th, Sth. and 9th sections of
chapter 43 of the Code of 1873.
1t is ordered that the provision of
these sections of the law be hereafter
strictly complied with. Ii is further
ordered that no officer, clerk, or other
employe in the Offices Of Auditor Of
Public Accounts, Second Auditor. or
Treasurer. shall act as the agent of any
officer or other party for the payment of
money into the public Treasury and
the banks Of the city of Richmond
which have been designated as State
repositories are forbidden to receive
money on account of the Commonwealth
except in strict compliance Of law.
Very respectfully.
WILLIAM f. CAMERON.
Auditor Marye, while agreeing with
the Governor so far as the legality of
the questions involved is concerned,
doubts its practicability just at this
time unless sufficient notice is given the
parties in order that they may make ar
rangements which will prevent future
confusion.
The Governor yesterday refused to
pardon ID. A. Adams. Of Lynchburg,
who was convicted of obtaining goods
under false pretences and sentenced to
four months in Jail also, G. w. Blen-
mis-, convicted of robbery and sentenced
to eleven years in the penitentiary.
A cabinet-size picture of the late DR..
George W. Bagby was yesterday placed
in the State Library. DR.. Bagby was
at one time State Librarian, and his ex-
cellence as an author and representa-
tive man fairly entitled him to this
honor.
The Governor has removed the politi-
cal disabilities of Joseph Johnson, of
Montgomery, who served term Of two
years in the penitentiary for larceny.
