treatment Of him openly and paipably
upon the proposition that we candidly
and honestly recognize his legal rights

see that he is fully protected under the
law in every one Of those rights we
would inevitably break down In time
that apprehension Of some injury from
the whites, which has heretofore driven
him In solid phalanx into the Republican
lines. Whilst we continue action OF the
sort suggested by Mr.. Patteson, we are
widening the breach between the negro
and the white man. Let us pursue just
the opposite course. and we move along
every day towards closing the breach
and establishing confidence, and the ne

judgment, as all good citizens should do.
Let us educate the negro. and do all
we can TO make him understand that the
white people are not his enemies, but
his friends. and we shall do more by
this plan to bring our domestic troubles
to an end than by all the victories we
shall achieve by cheating him at the
polls.

GENERAL sTraKr,s moSuwrSr.

1t was most gratifying TO every old
Confederate. and particularly TO the old
cavalrymen when the city Of Richmond
determined to contribute $1,000 to the
erection Of a monument TO the memory
Of General j. E. b Stuart. There were
few, II any, better soldiers than he devel-
oped by the war, and no man who has
once seen him upon the battlefield can
ever forget his serene, but dashing
courage, his calmness and his equable
judgment in the most trying circum-
stances; his devotion to his cause. and
his care for his men. He was an ideal
soldier. and one of the most honorable
men that ever lived. He deserves a mon
ument at the hands of his people. and
Richmond especially honors herself when
she shows In this handsome manner her
sense of the obligations which she owes
to him. But 1t is intoierable to the old
confed. to think of sticking General
Stuarts monument upon the little TRAN
gular patch Of ground at the intersection
of Broad street and Brook avenue. That
is good place for the figure of a cast
iron goose. with a stream of water is
suing from its beak, 10 amuse bare
footed urchins and refresh thirsty horses
But II is no place for General Stuart's
monument His memory entities him to
have a noble monument. and 10 have 1t
located amidst surroundings which are in
harmony with the mighty deeds that he
was chief actor in. or molly shared part
in with as great men as the world has
ever seen. The Veteran Cavalry Associa-
ton OF the Army OF Northern Virginia,
of which General Fitz Lee is president,
and General Wade Hampton is one OF
the yicc-presidents. the others being the
leading cavalry officers of the Army OF
Northern Virginia now living. has pass
cd resolution protesting against erect
ing the monument upon this site. and we
most earnestly hope that the Council will
give heed to their remonstrance.
Let US have monument worthy of
General Stuart. and let II be located
where the surroundings will be In keep
ing with the great part which VIII ever
be accredited to him in the history OF our
memorable struggle.

An IMPORTANT DECISION.

nisheed.
An important decision was rendered In
the Hastings Court yesterday by Judge
S. b. Witt, to the effect that the salary
OF a city official cannot be garnisheed.
This decision was brought about in the
case of Hechler Bros. against the City
of Richmond, which was an action TO
garnishee the salary of w. f. Epps, cap
tain Of the fire department.
Colonel Meade Haskns, who appeared
as counsel for the latter argued that the
salary of a city official is not subject to
a garnishee process, and that member
OF the city fire department is now a
State official.
Judge Witt sustained counsel on both
points. The second point had been de-
cided in that manner on previous 0eca-
sions. and in regard TO the first point
Judge Witt held that municipal govern
ment is part of the State government,
and that its revenues, being used for
public purposes, are the means, and the
only means, by which 1t carries on its
functions. and therefore cannot be gar
nisheed.

Infinite time is difficult to grasp. Dis tanco is more easily understood, and some things which Sir Robert Bali has to say about the distance of the stars from us will assist us ill comparing them to tho sun. Of these the most striking is Arcturus, and Dr. Elkin has put this star at such distance from the solar system that the orbit of the earth round the sun must seem from Arcturus as large as would a penny piece seen at 100 miles, Arcturus, ill other words, is perhaps a dozen times as far off from us as Procyon is, and Procyon, one ot the nearest bright stars, is 1000, OOC times the distance of the sun from us.
 But the marvellous thing about Arc turus is it's movement It has, compara- lively speaking, a very distinct ''prope1 notion across tho sky, though not as large as some stars. Lately, however, the speotroseope has ascortained for us the pace of stars along the line of sight, and Arcturus travels, it is now believed, at the rate of -38O miles second. Such speed as this is truly terrific, and we may we'll ask where this furious star is hurrying to, As Arcturus, ten genera, tions hence, will not have nov: q to tkc eye by as much as the diameter of the moon, we shall have plenty of opportu, nifty of discussing the question Lon. don Spectator.

At last it got so that the only way could get his money was by waiting until he was asleep at night and then picking his pock- cts. Many and many night have got up when he was asleep in the bed by my side, tiptoed over to where his clothes lay and like thief gone through his pockets and taken what money I found there.
 "He had a hot temper, and l was all ways afraid when would be picking his pockets he would wake and find me doing it. Thus went through all the brain sensations of a daring burglar, even such as I am informed you have become. Shortly after that you were born, and I firmly believe you came into the world a thief owing to that crime-like, though nec- essary practice of mine."
 Logue's record is probably unsurpassed in the history of crime, for the number of burglaries, frauds and thefts he has per petrated throughout the country.
