tween one and two o'clock this morning
Officers Young and Beach came upor q
young negro man named James Baker,
who was at the corner of Columbus and
Wolfe streets making night hideous by
cursipg two companions and inviting
them to fight. The officers arrested
the trio. This morning the evidence
showed that Baker was under the in
fuence of the green-eyod monster, AID
that the two colored individuals With
him had melted bis jealousy because
some dusky damsel had looked with
favor upon them. Baker was fined So
this morning and the Others dismissed.
Negroes in that part of the city occasion
much annoyance to quiet people living
in that vicinity by prowling around
nearly all night acting disorderly, ard
the authorities are using every means
to break up the practice. Captain
Knox at the meeting of the Business
Mems League last Monday night
moved that the Legislature be pc.
titioned to restore the time-honored
whipping post. An amendment has
been suggested to the effect that that
body also re-enact the old-fashioned
regime which requires the police to
blow horns for negroes to go into their
houses after ten o'clock at night.

ILLICIT BRANDY.-People in this city
to-day from the upper counties say the
internal revenue officers have recently
made raids in Rappahannock, Madison
and adjoining counties, and have CAPT
turad quantities of illicit brandy, &c.
Yesterday much of the brandy which
had been captured was hauled into
Culpeper and shipped to the bonded
warehouse in Charlottesville. It is re-
ported that the people in the counties
named are much incensed at the action
of the raiders, who, they say, have be-
come very obnoxious, in many instances
searching private houses and even the
ladies dressing rooms in several resi-
dences.
