LOCAL . MATTERS.
The Lynching of Charlotte Harris in
Rockingham County? Governor's Procla
mation.? Upon hearing of the lynching of
Charlotte Harris, in Rockingham county,
Governor Holliday obtained from a reliable
quarter the facts of tbe affair as nearly as
possible. Tbev go to conlirm tbe special
telegrams published in this paper, and show
that there was no very great evidence apart
from the testimony of the boy who fired
3fr. Sipes's barn to prove that t lie
woman instigated the deed. But at any
rate she had had her examination
and was awaiting conveyance to the county
jail, and was in the custody of four citizens,
when about a dozen persons with black eded
faces took charge of her and hung her to a
blackjack sapling, which was bent down to
her neck and connected with it by a rope,
and then allowed to spring up. The dead
body of tbe woman, but partly clothed, was
; allowed to remain there in sight of the road
two days. About thirty witnesses have been
summoned to appear before the grand jury
of the County Court (Judge O'Ferrallj,
which meets to-day, to give evidence as to
the great crime.
From three or four different accounts we
have it seems that the lynching of the woman
is justified by the community ; but it is not
justified by Governor Holliday, who has put
on record his abhorrence of the act, and done
his duty as Chief Magistrate of the State in
issuing* the following proclamation :
il By the Governor? A Proclamation.
Whereas information has been received by
tbe Executive oT a 'flagrant breach of the
laws of the Commonwealth bv a criminal,
combination of unknown persons in the
county o? Rockingham, who in the night of
tbe Ct'h instant wrested from legal custody
and wickedly and cruelly put to death a
negro woman named Charlotte Harris, iz
contempt of the laws of God and this Com
monwealth;
" Now, therefore, that the laws may be
vindicated and these murderers punisbocL,
I, Fred. "W. 31. Holliday, Governor, here
by offer a reward of $100 each for tbe
arrest and conviction of any or all per
sons engaged in said crime, their aiders
and abettors; and I require all officers^!
the Commonwealth, and request all citizens,
to use their best exertions to discover tbe
guilty parties 'and bring them to justice.
" Given under my hand as Governor, a*?d
under the lesser seal of the Common wealth,

Current Prices foij Family Maeketi.nvl
There were an abundance of seasonable
vegetables in the markets Saturday, em
bracing, in part, salad, cabbage, lettuce,
radishes, onions? new and old? Irish and
svveet potatoes, salsify, carrots, parsnips,
&c. The prices were so cheap as to place'
them within the reach of all. Our prices'
current were corrected carefully at the Old
Market.
The display of fresh meats was unusually
large and attractive. Choice chops and cuts,
savory steaks, luscious lamb, magnificent
mutton, pork, sausage, tripe, liver, &c.,&c.,
ad infinitum. The prices varied from 8c.
per pound for ordinary to 15c. per pound
for choice. There was also a plentiful sup
ply of salted meats and lard.
Country produce was iu good demand,
and the stalls were well supplied with
everything but prime butter. Good butter
sold at from 20 to 25c. per pound ; eggs, 10
to 12c. per dozen; dressed chickens, 10 to
12ic. per pound; live chickens, 50 to 75c.
per pair; turkeys, 14 to lGtfc. per pound.
The tisb market was the best of the sea
son. Roe shad sold from 75c. to ?1 per
pair; buck shad at 50c. per pair; perch
and chub, 20 to 25c. per bunch ; herring,
40c. per dozeu; rocktisb, 163c. per pound ;
oysters, 75c. per gallon ; crabs, 40c. per
dozen.
Among the miscellaneous articles were
apples, oranges, canned- and dried-fruit,
hominy, honey, &c. A few flowers, m
pots, were displayed, and met with a ready
sale.
The markets were crowded duriug the
day with buyers and loungers, to some of
whom a market-place, particularly on Sat
urday, is a Rialto of never-failing attrac
tion.' The venders of snacks, old clothes,
pottery, pins, needles, soap, matches, and
blacking, all seemed to be doing a satisfac
tory business, and no matter where else the
wheels of commerce were on Saturday
clogged, at the markets the spirit of traffic
was in its liveliest mood.
A He view of the Tobacco Trade.
There is still a perceptible increase fn the
transactions at the Tobacco Exchange. For
the week ending Saturday the breaks com
prised 0-19 hogsheads, 77 tierces, and 15
boxes.
Tbo offerings at auction on 'Change con
sisted of 302 packages, of which number
146 were taken in and 156 sold. The prices
duriug the week varied from $1.30 to $61.50.
The transactions in loose tobacco were
not so large as for the week previous. At
the Sbockoe warehouse Messrs. Perkins &
Powell sold 155,000 pounds? highest price
paid $8.50. At the Patrons warehouse
-Messrs. Tredway & Samuels sold 40,000
pounds? highest price received $8.
A Week's Collection* of Revenue. ? The
collection of United States internal reyenue
for the week ending Saturdav amounted to
$31,613.21, as follows : Monday. ?6,171.99;
Tuesday, $3,795.54 ; Wednesday, $5,159.54;
Thursday, $3,902.40 ; Friday, ?5,697.40;
Saturday, $3,795.54. This 19 an increase of
$1,199.19 on the amount reported collected
for the week ending March 9th, when it
was $30,414.02. - - .
From the Custom-House.? The only,
clearance for the week ending March 16th
was that of the British brig Sprite, Lewis
mahter, which cleared March 14th for Bahia,
Brazil, with 611 barrels of flour, valued at
?4,070.64, shipped by the Haxall-Crenshaw
Company.
There were no imports during tbe week,
and no vessels entered to load forfoieign
ports. ' ? . '' : ' .
One by One the Roseh Fall.? Another
war relic is gone. The old war-horse rode
by Dr. Dorsey Cullen all through the late
war died Saturday of old age. Tbe deceased '
was a charger, which at all times and un?

dreadful revelry," Since the cessation 0!
hostilities be has been engaged in tbe more

CITX ?FFICl^Rlfc
Who Aire They?? 7 ISC Supreme Court
.He ciden*
AN OPINION IN THE BURCH-HARDWICKE
CASE? THK CHIEF OF POLICE DECLARED
TO BE AN OFFICER O^ THE STATE, AND
THEREFORE NOT SUBJECT TO REMOVAL
BY THE MAYOR. '^.'^-^1
Tine Court o?f Appeals decided on Thurs
day the caw of Burch against Hardwicke
upon an appeal from the Circuit Court of
Lynchburg-. As the case is a very in teres t
ingone, involving in some of its aspect? im
portant ^principles, a synopsis Of it is
fintl no abstract O I the opinion as de
livered by Judge. Staples '
Hardwicke, formerly chief of police of
the city of Lynchburg, brought an action
against Burch* formerly Mayor of that city,
for falsely, maliciously, and without suffi
cient cause, removing him from his said
oflice of chie* of police. The case was
tried before Judge Wingfield, and a verdict
and judgment for ?1,600 given in favor of1
plaintiff. Burch appealed to the Court of
Appeal?, where the case was argued by Ma
jor Halsey and James Alfred Jones, Esq.,
forthe appellant, and by Major Tvirkputrick
and' Mr, Coggln for the appellee-* Numer
ous questions were presented andxnscussed.
Exceptions were taken to certain rulings of
Judge Wingfield, but the Court of Appeals
was of opinion there was no error in that
respect,
We do not deem it necessary to notice
these various points. One of the roam
questions in the ease? a question of very
considerable interest and importance to the
towns and cities of the Commonwealth ?
was whether the Mayor of the city of Lynch
burg has the power, under the Constitution
of Virginia, of removing the chief of poiice
from his office.
BOARD OK POLICE COMMISSIONERS.
The charters of the city of Lynchburg, and
of Richmond, Norfolk, acd probably Pe
tersburg, provide for a board of policc
commissioners in which is vested the power
of appointing, controlliajr, and removing
the chieSof police and his subordinates,
with the right In ths mayor to suspend the
chief of police temporarily, but not to re
move him. On the other hand, the Constitu
tion of Virginia confers upon the mayor
the power of supervising, controlling, and
removing all city officers. If, therefore,
the chief of police be a city officer, within
tbe true intent and meaning of the Consti
tution, it is obvious that the charters of
Lynchburg, Richmond, and other cities,
taking the power of removal of the chief
police from the mayor and vesticg it in a
board of police commissioners, is uncon
stitutional and void.
Jo dge Staples in discussing this question
went into an examination of the various
provisions of the Constitution to show what
was meant by the term "city officers."
Among these he enumerated city engineers,
officers having superintendence of streets,
, parks, water- works, fras-woifks, sewers,
cemeteries, and numerous others required
by the wants of a great city, whose duties
and functions are of a purely municipal and
local character; whereas officers such as the
?city sergeant, sheriff, justices of the peace,
high-constable, Commonwealth's attorney,
hustings judge, and clerk of Jthe hustings
court, are not city officers, although some
times designated as such. The reason is
that although elected or appointed for the
cities, and although confined in the exercise
of their functions to the city Jimits, their
duties concern the State at large or the gen
eral public.
WHAT IS OF STATE CONCERN*.
Whatever relates to the administration of
justice and the preservation of tUe public
[ieace is of State concern, although confined
to local agencies. The chief of vpolice is of
the latter character. He is a conservator
of the peace. His duties are of a public
nature, and concern the public at large.
Among the thousands of strangers that
enter a great city in the course of a year
in pursuit of business or pjeasure there -is
.scarcely one but is interested, in & greater
-or less "degree, in this officer as a conserva
tor of the peace generally. When the mob
cages in the streets, when the Ineendiary
and assassin are at work, they do not offend
against the city, but against the :State.
Wiien thev are detected and arrested by
the chief of police and his subordinates it
is under the authority of the State taws,
and by him as & State officer, and when
they <ii*e tried and convicted it is by officers
who represent the .State and its sovereign
authority.
' THE APPOINTING POM'ER.
3t is true that the chief of poliee derives
his authority immediately from the city, but
this is only because the charter so provides.
The Legislature miglit have made the ap
pointment differently; it might have made
the appointment itself, or it might have
elected a board of police commissioners and
conferred upon them the power of appoint
ing the chief of police. A local authority
for an appointment does not make the of
ficer local, if the nature of his duties is
general.
The State as a political society is interested
everywhere in the preservation of the pub
lic peace, suppression of crime, and in pro
tecting the rights of persons and properly,
whether in the city or country. No duty is
more general and all-pervading. That duty
looks to the preservation of order at elec
tions, railway stations, and steamboat land
ings; the enforcement of the laws against
intemperance, gambling, violations of the
Sabbath, and the like. The instrumentali
ties by which these objects are effected,
however appointed, bv whatever name
called, wherever residing, are agencies of
the State, and not of the municipalities. In
support of these propositions the opinion
cites numerous authorities, among them the
decisions of the Supreme Courts of Massa
chusetts, Maine, Michigan, Kentucky,
Louisiana, New York, Dillon on Corpora
tions, &c. Jt Is impossible for us to cite or
quote from them, nor would it be of any
especial interest to do so. All that we can
do is dimply- to refer to them,
A POWERFUL AGEXCT.
The opinion declared that the Legislature
had wisely vested the control of the police
department in the board of police commis
sioners rather than in the mayor. The
police force of a city is a powerful agency
in the hands of one man, and in times of
high political and party excitement there is
great danger of its being employed by the
mayor of a city for political purposes and
to secure bis constant reelection.
The leading cities of the State have been
under the control of the police board of
commissioners, and there is no complaintof
a want of efficiency, discipline, and subor
dination in the police department, and the
Court of Appeals is not inclined to set aside
the charters of these cities and destroy their
machinery of government, unless it could
be shown that the Constitution of the State
absolutely requires it.
The Court beiugof opinion that Mayor
JBurch bad no power to remove the chief of
police of that city, or even if he had such
power, evidence 'having been offered to
show that the removal in this case was ma
liciously donie, the Jury having so held,
was of opinion to affirm the judgment of
the Circuit Court. Judge Christian dis
sented.

near tbe Danville depot is - being nicely
steKjeoed.
The Sunday excursion trains on theRich
mond and Petersburg railroad will not be
resumed until April 7tb.
The prospects are pood for an early, plen
tiful, and cheap supply of spring vegetables
ol every variety.
The display of seasonable goods of all
descriptions, exhibited by both wholesale
and retail dealers, was never greater than at
this time.
Improvement is being made to the side
walk on the north side of Broad and Third
streets.
Runaway.? On Saturday between 10 and
11 o'clock a horse hitched to a buggy be
longing to Mr. JR. F. Farrar, of Henrico
(during the absence of Mr. Farrar), ran off
from the corner of Tenth and Main streets.
He dashed down Bank street to Twelfth at
fearf ul speed, and being unable to make the
turn towards Franklin, ran upon the pave
ment and against the St. James Hotel and
was Knocked down, but soon got lip and
started with renewed vigor towards Frank
lin." -Soon after turning into Franklin
street the runaway team collided with a
phaeton in which were seated Mrs. Henry
Tyler and her little boy. The two were
thrown to the ground. Mrs. Tyler es-*
caped unhurt, but her little boy was not so
fortunate, he receiving a cut across his nose.
The mother and child were taken into the
reportoriaJ room or the Whig office, where
Dr. G. W. West was called in and dressed
the child's wound. The runaway team *vas
stopped on Franklin street in front of the
Constable's .office, but not before the buggy
was made a complete wreck.
There are more runaway accidents in
Richmond than in any place of its size in
the country. The number of narrow es
capes in the course of a year is astonishing.
A partial remedy will be for our police to
enforce severely the city ordinance in- rela
tion to persons leaving horses in the streets
unattended.
Ventilation op Private Grounds.? In
addition to the recommendations of the
Board of*Health in their annual report is
the following : An evil exists in this city in
the number of cIosr fences separating dif
ferent premises. This evil is not conh'ned
to our city, but is one which has thus far
prevailed generally in cities. The thorough
veutilation of the yards and grounds which
adjoiu our dwellings is a matter of great
importance to the health of the occupants.
These close fences serve to conceal the de
posits of refuse matter which negligent ser
vants and careless housekeepers fail to place
in vessels to be removed by the city autho
rities. We have observed with great plea
sure that two or three citizens have discard
ed the old brick wall, or close wooden fence,
and left their premises in rear of their dwell
ings protected bv enclosures which admit
both sunlight and free ventilation. They
evidently do not fear the visits of the sani
tary inspector? in fact, every passer-by be
comes one. The supervision by the public
will ensure much greater cleanliness on the
part of the occupants of dwellings; the free
circulation of air and sunlight to the pre
mises will secure greater comfort and an
immunity from the diseases engendered by
filth and uegligence.
In this connection we advise that no
shrubbery be planted next to the dwelling;
and if trees are allowed within the lot they
should be trimmed high enough to admit
sunlight and free ventilation.
Coupons for Fines.? On Saturday Mr.
William L. Royall was engaged in prepar
ing the papers for bringing this question
again before the Court of Appeals. A pris
oner in jail under sentence to pay a tine
has tendered payment of it in coupons, aud
the officer having refused to accent pay
ment in them, Mr. Royall will apply to the
Court of Appeals for a writ of habeas cor
pus asking for bis discbarge. The coupons
being tendered at their face-value, the case
presents the question whether the State can
tax them as she is now doing. The peti
tion would have been tiled on Saturday, but
the court adjourned before the papers could
be prepared. It will be filed on Tuesday
morning. It is understood the Attorney
General will oppose the issuing of the writ,
so that the question will probably be de
termined upon the application for it.
Personal.? Captain TV. Gordon McCabe,
ol Petersburg, and R. P. Barbara, Esq., of
the Index- Appeal, of the same city, were
in the city Saturday.
Justice Joseph J. White expects to re
sume his duties at the Police Court this
morning.
The visitors at the Tobacco Exchange
Saturday wereR. G. Pace, Danville ; E.B.
Bain, Petersburg; Page JMcCarty, Wash
ington, D. C. ; J. E.Tesdaley, Lunenburg;
W. A. Lyon, Baltimore; and A. Frazier,
New York.
Mr. Julius C? Fiecher, an old and popular
citizen of Richmond, and at one time Com
missioner of the Revenue, has removed to

Repairs to the Hustings Court-Room.?
The contract for repairing and enlarging
the Hustings Court-room has been awarded
to J. M. Newell at 9600. The work was
commenced on Saturday morning.
The Celebrattcw To-Dat? Parade?
pANEflYBIC-^frRftEN TO-ElKGBT.?
Arrangements have been made for a fine
demonstration to-day by our Irish and other
Catholic ; fellow-citizens in honor of St
-Patrick's Day. The programme of the
procession was published in Saturday's
Dispatch. The societies expecting to take
part are expected to assemble at the corner
of Ninth and Broad streets promptly at 9
o'clock A. M. Besides the parade there
will be a panegyric delivered and other ap
propriate exercises at St. Peter's Cathedral,
and a review by the marshal and assistant.
A large delegation is expected from Pe
tersburg at . 9 o'clock A. M. A committee
will receive tbem, mnd they will be assigned
a place in the procession. - ?
At night the romantic drama of " Green
Bushes" and the farce of "All Irish
Should Apply" Will bo presented at the
Theatre by some of the best amateur talent
of the city.
With favorable weather there is every
reason to believe that the day will be as
universally honored as ever before in the
history of this city.
Legislative.? The bill passed by the
House of Delegates proposing to compen
sate Messrs. Fields, Seawell, and Forbes for
making an investigation and report in the
matter of an alleged claim or tbe State
against General B. T. Johnson and the
Messrs. Poe, of Baltimore, felt throngh in
the Senate.
The keeper of the rolls (John Cell Big
ger) is daily called upon for copies of the

then, and not until then, be accessible to
tbe public. The engrossed copies are at the
printer's, to be set up and published in the
Acts of Assembly.
J. N.-s Cause Moving On*.? It looks to
the people generally, from a philosophic
standpoint, that 4< J. jf." ha3 by self-mar
tyrdom circumvalbitrd President Hayes
with liis truth ; that he will be compelled
shortly to recognize it in a special message.
So much for the martyr "J. N.," who, it
appears, was the only man that held princi
ples that lifts the veil that enshrouds the
South. "J. N." speaks to-night in Cul
peper, and to-moirow night in Fredericks
burg. He cannot speak too highly of the
sympathy shown him whilst visiting these
places, and our readers may rest assured
there will be no pressure upon those who
attend his lectures, but upon those who re
