THE RICHMOND AND DANvILLE OFFICES.
The fine building in Washington recently
purchased by the Richmond aud Danville
railway system is now full of workmen, who
are busy in transforming into model rail
road bureau and it has already become The
central office of that system in this neighbor-
hood. Vice President Huidekoper, with
Mr.. Il. III. Wentworth, his private secretary,
and few other officials already occupy Of
fees in the building. The Danville system,
as it is popularity called, combines the Nir-
ginia Midland Railway with the Manassas
brance, tho Warrenton branch and other
branches; the Richmond and Danville Rail-
way with the Mecklenburg and Milton
Suthern branches the Richmond, York
River and Chesapeake Railroad, the Pied.
mont Railroad, the North Carolina Railroad,
the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line, the
Western North Carolina Railroad, the
Chattanooga, Augusta aud Columbus Rail
road with its branches, the Columbia
and Greenvil'c Railroad, tho Northeast
Railroad of Georgia, and other lines. The
following officials will have Offices in tho
new building: The vice-president and his
private secretary. who is also secretary Of
the Virginia Midland Railroad tho general
manager and assistant general manager,
comptroller, general passenger and freight
agents, auditors, treasurer, superintendent
of teegraphs, and many subordiaates,
There will also be established in the build
ling a permanent exposition of the mineral,
q miuing and timber resources Of Virginia,
1 the Caroliuas and Georgia, comprising very
much of the exhibits in this division at the
New Orleans fair The natural result: of
the Richmond and Danvile system making

No ENCAMPMENr.-Ata meeting OF col
onels of the regiments Of State volunteer
militia held in Richmond on Thursday
night. the following were present: Ii. {.
Hudgins, Of Norfolk, Fourth regiment; NJ.
l.. Spottswood. First regiment, Richmond;
o. B. Roller, of Harrisonburg, Second regi
ment; G. e. Wertenbaker, of Charlottesville,
Third regiment; also, Governor Lee, Adju-
tant. General Mcdonald, and Brigadier-
General Anderson. The meeting was called
for the purpose of discussing and arranging
matters i'm reference to the encampment Of
State troops proposed to be held in Rich.
mond during the Fair.
After lengthy consideration OF tho sub
iect, however, it was agreed that the en-
campment scheme was impracticable; the
time selected-the autumn-being busy
season in commercial circles, rendering i.
impossible for a large majority of the vol
unteer soldiery to give their time conven-
iently 10 military matters. 1t was further
decided to divide the funds which would
have been used for the encampment tho
State appropriately between the thirty
four white and nineteen colored companies
of the State, with the stipulation that they
be used by each command either for uni
forms or for camping purposes.

LET THE WHOLE Thing Go."-Jos Pot
ter, who drives cart for Captain Herbert
Bryaut, is fond Of repeating the saying
which heads this item. Having delivered
load Ct goods on the wharf at the foot OF
Prince street yesterday evening, Potter
mounted his cart after colloquy with some
companions, and grasping the reins sang
out, Let tho whole thing CO." as a parting
shot at 8 controversial comrade, and before
he could gather his senses horse and driver
Were laundering in the dock, the bystand-
ers in the meantime repeating Potter's fav.
orite words and others of similar import.
All sorts Of suggestions as to how he could
extrcate himself and horse were made,
mostly of a ranting nature, and after splash
ing around for nearly an hour the animal
and driver were rescued, and landed by
mears CT 81 gang plank, whom another
horse was hitched TO the cart, and the
thoroughly soaked driver quietly drove
away from the jibes of his tormentors. 1t
seems that the horse was blind, and Potter
in the heat of argument had pulled the
wrong rein, which had caused the animal
to walk overheard In its descent the har-
ness parted, and left the cart on the wharf.

Annie i. Thomas, who has been visiting in

WHAT TO DO WITH IT-Wheu the jury
in the case of the Commonwealth vs.. Ed.
Girlz. the colored boy charged with break
ing into the store OF Mr.. J. Z. Rice: brought
in a verdict of not guilty, i'll the Corpora
ton Court yesterday, some one asked what
had become of the money which had been
found in the boys possession, and which
had been produced in court. One of the
/ jurors aughngly replied that it had been
lost by the jury playing keno" with the
gaming paraphernalia which had been put
in tho jury room for safe keeping. As it
turned out that no disposition had been
made OF the money, the Judge suggested
that it had best be distributed among the
jury. This was heartily seconded by the
Jury, but the prisoners counsel objected,
and Immediately took charge of the money
so 6S. He then proceeded to popular
in the neighborhood, accompa-
Snied by number of friends, where he had
grand distribution OF the money and
corresponding flow OF spirits.
