GOid-ueaded SticRs.

The Republican members Of the Gen
eral Assembly met last night in the Sen
ate chamber and presented Colonel
George A. Martin, Of Norfolk county,
who acts rs president of the Republican
caucus, with an elegant gold headed
cane. There was quite full attendance,
and the occasion was a pleasant one.
Senator Edward Hubbard, of Bucling-
ham. made the presentation speech, and
his remarks were supplemented by Sen
ator Mcdonald. Both OF them dis
charged the agreeable tasks assigned
them in becoming style, and expressed
in well-couched terms the esteem in
which Colonel Martin is held by all Of
his party associates.
Colonel Martin hardly knew the occa-
sion OF the assemblage, but in ready
manner and with that wit and flow of fine
feeling that always characterizes his
speeches accepted the token Of friend
ship and esteem.
The cane is of black ebony and the
head, which is of massive proportions, is
an1elegantly engraved and an unusually
pretty one. 1t bears the following in
scription': "a Token of Esteem from Re
publican Members to Colonel George A..
Martin, President of Caucus, 1855"
Colonel Martin is very proud of his
stick, and we'll he may be. a gentleman
suggested last night that it would be a
formidable weapon to use on the Demo
Gratis heads.
The caucus transacted no business.
Mr.. f. G. Hydel. who has been the
superintendent of the Schuyler Electric
Company in this city for some time past,
was on yesterday evening presented
with very handsome gold-headed cane
by the employees of the company as a
token of their regard and esteem. The
presentation speech was made by Mr..
Charles Irons. Mr.. Hydel accepted the
present and expressed his high apprecia-
ton of it. Mr.. Hydel will leave Rich
mond in a few days for Connecticut,
where he goes TO accept position in
the electric-light business.

steadily westward, and now the peniten-
tiary is environed by neigbborhood OF
residences thickly built. To take its
glaring walls and zebra.striped denizeus
away would send up the value OF the sur
rounding property to a high figure.
But has tho State any idea OF removing
the penitentiayy?
Not the slightest at this moment.
The Commonwealth has about sixteen
acres of land there and much of it would
sell we'll, but it wouldn't realize enough
to purchase new site and put up new
buildings
A better shoe-shop than tho one de-
stroyed can be put there for $4,000.
The walls around the penitentiary cost
more than double that. and the main
building-where the cells are--the hos
pitaI, the female ward, the Offices Of the
institution, and the tobacco factory are
intact
No, the State has no notion OF re-
moving the penitentiary Just now but
when her debt is settled the subject
ought early TO receive attention.
THE LEGISLATIVE tONAlhtLh.
The special Joint Committee of the
General Assembly, comprising the SEN
ate Committee on Public Institutions
and the House Committee on Asylums
and Prisons, charged with the investiga-
ton of the origin of the penitentary
fire and cognate matters, met yesterday
afternoon in the Senate chamber, Scna-
tor Loyenstein presiding, and decided
to visit the scene OF the fire this after
noon at 4 o'clock, at which time they
will begin the work assigned them. The
committee will probably appoint n sub
committee to take all the evidence in
connection with the matter, and this
subcommittee appointed will proceed at
once to take testimony.
