l. i. 81. Anderson Dead?

Tt is believed by some that the young
man whose dead body was recently found
on the Bluestone river near Keystone.
Va, was j. NJ. Anderson, OF Richmond,
the letters - NJ. A." being found on the
appendage 20 his shirt bosom. His
brother. j. W. Anderson. who keeps a
stove and plumbers establishment on
Main street, between Eighth and Ninth.
wrote 10 Bluestone. Va, making inquiries.
but the letter was returned with the
statement that there was no such post
Office In the State.
Mr. Anderson has written TO relatives In
Salem In regard to the matter. but as yet
has received no reply.
Young Anderson left Richmond on April
llth. and has not been heard from since.
Ha stated that he was going West.

TIE CITY HALL CONTRACTS

The Grounds and Buildings Committee
haze a meeting tonight, and 1t is currently
stated that they Will pass resolution
diractiu, the chairman TO sign the con-
tracts that are to be investigated. We
trust this is an error, as it would be
very improper for such thing to be done
The resolution that has passed eacA
branch of the Council directs that the
contracts shall not DE signed until an
Investigation has been had. This there
fore. is an express order from the city
legislative body forbidding it. How can
any member of the committee that voted
for that resolution vote now to sign the
contracts? 1t would be an outrage con-
corning which the voice Of the people VIII
be- heard in no uncertain sound.
The committee ought' however, to pass
a resolution requesting the President of
the Council to call that body together
TO raufy the amendment put by the
Aldermen on the investigation resolution.
This investigation ought to be held at
once.

M the old feelings OF animosity that may
have existed between them. when iii iii'
on the earth they were subject TO eaIti''
weaknesses. But IT is not true th"t MI
Davis was hated by all the Southern gen
erals. General Lee and himself were al
ways the best OF friends and such was
the case with Generals StonewaH jan
son. Cooper. Kirby Smith and Aipert 0Su
ney Johnston. while General Juodi ~
Early. who IS stln living. has always
been. and is now. his staunch ana I'M
yielding friend and admirer. So "iliie inc
ex-President may have been disliked by
some Of his generals, he was loVeu anu
honored by the great majority OF those
who made the greatest reputation uur'ns
the war.
Mr.. Davis may have been unpopular
among some classes IN the South All
leaders Of unsuccessful revolutionary
movements are. But with all his unpopu-
larity. his worst enemy has never suB-
gested the name Of any one VINO coulu
have done better I'm his most trying posi-
tion. has never accused him Of not being
a sterling patriot and man OF lhe
strictest integrity and Of the most earnest
devotion TO the cause OF the South. lie
sacrificed everything for that cause ana
yrhen II was lost. after one Of the most
gallant fights the world has ever known
against overwhelming odds with the
North-backed up by all the nations OF
Europe-be became the vlcarious sufferer
for the sins Of all the Southern people
He alone was thrown into prison ana
manacled for what the South had DONE
and while the Northern authorities made
no effort to modest others who had taken
prominent part in the war for Southern
independence, they attempted to literally
worry his life out OF him at Fortress
Monroe. because they knew that II
brought before the courts for the crimes
alleged against him. he would have been
acquitted. while they themselves "ouid
have been condemned.
why then. at this time, when the South
ern people are DESTROYS OF placing the re-
mains OF their old leader into their grave
with the honor which they feel they owe
10 one who had suffered SO much for
them. should the subject Of his unpopu-
larity during the war be brought forward
10 harrow the feelings Of those who with
him. fought and suffered for cause they
knew 10 be right? AS the writer OF the
above extract says. whether personally
unpopular or not. he represented the Con-
federacy." and why should those VINO
loved that Confederacy be tainted with
tine fact that some in the South-many
perhaps-did not like the Southern Presi-
dent while he was alive2
Whether ne was disliked when alive OF
nat one thing is certain, he is loved, now
that ne is dead. and despite those who
would so heartlessly and, TO say the
least. I'm such bad taste. recall the jeal-
ousies and heart burnings Of the war ne
will be- laid TO rest with honor and rever-
orcs bv those who loved his honesty ms

Stolen ARTICLES Recovered.

For some time past Mr.. zimmerman.
the well-known caterer and hotel Keeper
of Broad street. has been missing articles
from his hotel. such as pillow cases,
sheets, towels and napkins The things
were carried off i'm a mysterious way and
he was entirely az a loss about the mat
ter. A few days ago he began 20 suspect
an old colored woman named Harriet
Trice. who has been employed boy him as
chambermaid for a long time. He notified
Sergeant TomlinsOn, who got out search
warrants and soon found the stolen artl-
cies. some Of them Tn her house. 22l west
Broad. and some In the house of her
daughter Georgianna Preston. HOS west
Leigh. Nearly all Of the things We're
recovered.

HOW possibly could this have been done
without the committee finding out that
nrovtsion for the silver dollar was drop
ped?
ON January 10. 1873. the bin was recon-
nitted. and on February 3. 1872, 1t was
again reported by Hon. Samuel Hooper
nrinied and recommitted. and on Febru-
arv e. 1872 reported back and made the
special order. AS reported this time.
the bill contained provision for a silver
dollar Of 2si grains. which would be just
double the half dollar. In carefully
prepared speech. occupying ten columns
of the Globe. Mr.. Hooper explained each
nrovislon OF the bill. In It he says Con
eresslonal Globe vol. 102. p. 25D0:

This was spoken openly on the floor OF

Mr. Hooper and those who heard him did
not understand what was being done?
Mr.. stouehton. Of the Coinage Com

in which ne says:

The Falcon was .decked with bunting from
