true Americans then look upon this right
as a duty which they perform with
greater or less conscientiousness. Nearly
all others are drawn to the polls BY the

The Justice Excused the Erring
Husband

Interest was at a premium in Justice
Johns Court yesterday morning. and
only Sergeant Thomas sad. because the
sheckels fingered back in the crowd and
chirper very, very feeby.
Ernest Jones, the little negro dwarf"
and John Scott, a big negro giant"
had spat before Justice John In the
lead Off at the game. 1T won't me, twas
you" Big John said Little Ernest took
a pocket-book from Mrs Cartwright, and
Little Ernest swore that he didn't. but
Big John did.
Justice John is a fearless man, and
launched himself on the side OF Little
Ernest with splash that hoated John.
big as he was. into Jail for sixty days.
Joseph Rutherford, the man charged
with stealing a lot Of pictures TO the value
Of $500 from Clinton, Rhodes & Jacobs,
a Chicago firm, was I'm court, but the
case was continued until the 18th, in
order TO allow the books and contracts
between himself and his employers 10 be
examined. The question was also raised
whether or not Rutherford, though a
Richmonder, should be tried here or In
Petersburg, where, ii is claimed, the en-
bezzement occurred.
William Bolter was charged with beating
his little wife, Bertha. Bertha had him
arrested. but pleaded for him SO earnestly
and patiently and winningly that his
Honor, for her sake, let him go.
George Carter. negro man, was
charged with insulting some young ladies'
on the street, and fined so and costs,
with an emphasis that waved as proud
plume in Justice Johns hat the live
long day Carter ran against one young
lady and almost knocked her down, while
mis- impious hand went, I'm horrible caress
against the cheek OF another.
Joe Carter and John Williams, two
dirty negroes, charged with being sus-
picious characters, were required to give
security in 500 for thirty days.

passed. The system OF examination IL
satisfactory, and officers who have passed
arc generally found 10 be qualified.
Those few who constitute the exception
very soon drop out. and make way for
others.
NOT MUCH ENTHUSIASM.
In my report OF 1883. speaking OF the
cavalry. I said: This arm OF the service
is not full Of enthusiasm. The difficult
ties OF keeping up a troop OF cavalry are
numerous. and the expense considerable.
To meet the requirements very active
and enerSetic exertions arc necessary
from Geld sia1, and line officers. There
is nothing 20 show that such eNoruons
have been made"
In 1891 the report states: "The cavalry
arm OF tho service does not seem TO
be able 10 keep M 70 the standard OF
the other organizations. The field officers
seem 20 be faithful IN the discharge OF
their duties. but the troop commanders
I'm some instances want in executive
management. or have permitted slack
discipline or inattcntion 70 regulations
10 impair their usefulness"
These reports may be repeated. The
First Regiment OF Cavalry IS now re-
duced to three troops. with the fourth IN
a state Of Reorganization.
Respect and confidence are necessary
among the officers OF n command TO
ensure IT'S efficiency and success. These
do not exist among ali OF the officers or
the First Regiment Infantry; on the
contrary discord and dissatisfaction ex-
ist The cause OF this trouble should
he ascertaincd and removed.
The percentage Of this regiment Is con-
siderably less than that Of the other
companies stationed In Richmond, and
less than the Third Battalion. the only
other command Of which all the COM
panies are at one pest
The following companies had present
a small percentage at inspection: Com
panies A. d. and Il. First Regiment;
Companies 4. d. II. and X, Second Regi-
ment: Companies y. +. and X. Third
Regiment; Companies c. d. F. II, and 1,
Fourth Regiment; Troop G. and Compa-
MES = and c. First Batulion Infantry.
Men are borne on the rolls of these
companies that ought 10 be discharged or
dropped. The percentage of annual at
tendance is small in most of these COM
panies.
Company A. Third Regiment at Dan
vile. IS reported as not inspected. The
company is without n captain. Orders
for inspection had been issued. but only
sixteen men appeared. The first leu
tenant seems to be unable to cope with
Nil' iAAtlANNAAlfn III nv llltN tlf NNslitiAf aAi
shape. The books are In an unintei-
gible condition: muster-roll was not pre-
pared; the state property IS in bad con-
dition. In short the company is utter
~ inefficient and Is recommended for
inspection. with reference TO disband-
ment."
CEASED TO EXIST.
Troop C., at Lynchburg. has. Of its own
motion. ceased. 10 exist as a matter OF
fact and needs only a formal order 20
disband it, which IS accordingly recon-
mended. and that the property. which is
IN good condition. be put in charge Of the
captain commanding Company T., Third
Infantry. or be at once removed to the
state Armorv.
AS will appear from the muster-rOlls
the following companies have fallen be-
