THE i KLL A ThorousU Examination?What wan >ouc<i? ,%o ( uuii'wioi:. Richmond. V v., January 20.?To the twelfth day after the exec ution of Taos. J. Cluverius, the cell occupied during his confinement in the city jail v.*:ts opened and examined. It was said that "he room ii:t?I only been opened <-,-< ;j since the prisoner walked out to r^seend the gallows. but its condition looked asit in ! )>ee': opened several times. Eiidit representatives <>? the Richmond press walked in the room and immediately commence" i mm examination. The ceil presented rather a lonely appearance and the closely shut room had a musty smell. In the centre was the table, closely associated with letters, theories and statements of the prisoner. On the bench near the window was the basin, while the j oT-r.1 r'n-.ir in !-r. titc.1 to c:t \V:tS ! by. On his couch lay the -lev: irray suit of ; clothes which he wore during his trial and while confined in the jail as he left il when he put on his execution clolhts. in the vest pockets were found his watch, a worn one dollar note, tooth-pick and some other small trinkets. The watch had an open face, and stopped running at :>. 14 o'clock. The reporters' main object was to find some evidence of confession, but their search was in vain. A smail memorandum book was found in the inside vest pocket of .he prisoner's suit, and it was hoped that in ? t . \ * ?k,. ims some vaiuauit; ev h:;;ui uu found. It contained the names of ::Ii ll:e witnesses during the trial and many not examined. The manner of arranging this book was very systematic. Opposite the "watch key," '"lieile Island" and other points of evidence he had placed all the witnesses, and every minor point was taken note of. If also contained the principal points brought out in the prisoner's review of the evidence which he furnished Gov. Lee. On the dingy walls over the couch hung Cluverius's straw hat which he often wore during the summer of lbSo. A large quantity of letters were found upon Ids table from different people. They were mostly letters of condolence. .Nothing was found lhat would in anv wav show that he knew anything about the death of his cousin. The trunk of the prisoner was in very good order, and contained many memoranda, letters and trinkets, but nothing of interest. The reporters spent over half an hour in the ceil, searched vigilantly, but found nothing that in any way implicated the prisoner in the dastardly crime committed 3Iarch 13lh, ISS-l A Bi;r Robbery in Charleston. Charleston is very much stirred up over the systematic robbery of one of the largest wholesale houses on East Bay, and a Pinkerton detective who has been working up the case lias just made his report. It is said that sirce the death of the senior some six vears s<ro the house has fallen behind between tfloO.OOU and *150,GOO, but it was not until six months ago that the house suspected anything wrong. A Pin ke; ton detective was sent for." Soon after this a young man was given employment in the store and gradually worked himself up from porter, watchman, assistant shipping clerk, etc, remaining in each department long enough to become thoroughly acquainted "with his fellow clerks. The young man turned out to be a detective and about a week ago he returned to his employers and made his report to the agency wlxo sent it to the house. The report exposed the whole business and designated the guilty parties. The firm is now treating with them with a view to recovering a portion of the spoils. It is said that one of the cierks or salesmen, or whoever he is (nobody seems to know who he is,) has offered $-"3,00!) to get off. This enterprising youth, so the story goes, has managed in five or?i>ix years Id accumulate a deposit of ?10,000 in the city bank, and tc '!o this on a salary of x75 per mors til. i neve are saiu xo uc m ree or four others who have been equally successful in business, and it is stated that the reason the matter has been kept quiet is because the firm is endeavoring to compromise /with its wealthy employees. This, it may be j repeated, is simply a summary of the thous ! and and one rumors that are flying about j condensed and put into narrative iorm.? j . Savannah JS'eico. The Railroad* ami Che Law. Prominent railroad men suggest a convention of railroad representatives to agree upon a rise of 100 per cent, in through freight rates, with the anticipated effect of creating a panic and bringing about the repeal of the icier-State commerce Act. Such an advance would pay the railroads ' ? * - * 1 1.4. very well untti tne c mmissiuiicxs yruu^m them to books for violating the fundamental requirement of the act, Avhiclt is that the rates shall be ''reasonable and just." An I advance of 100 per cent, in rates at one time by all the railroads would look like a pool or conspiracy, and would have to be explained satisfactorily by reference to details. There is a penalty of $5,000 for each violation of the act. This penalty, together with the terrors of an investigation, will probably prevent any unnecessary advance of rates. The better policy for the railroads is to accept the Act loyally and try to carry it out in good faith. They have long desired something to protect them from themselves, and they may yet find the interState commerce Act the very thing they have wanted. It subjects them to the restraints of law, ami must tend to substitute civilized methods for barbarous and predator}- habits. There are some roads probably thai never had a solid basis of vachic: trv>!

Stockholders will undoubtedly fare better when railroad officials lose their autocratic powers ;tnd wild-cat adventures have an end.?Baltimore Hun. Head of ti:e Signal Service. Officers of high rank in the army are confident that no action will be taken in the matter of the appointment of a new chief signal officer for the present. It will be impossible to accomplish anything in the way of a transfer of the signal bureau to the civil service at this session of Congress. It is the general impression that for tins reason the .War Department will use its influence to postpone tiie appoinment of a new chief until after the next session of Congress. Captain Greely will be allowed to remain at the head of the corps ujitil the fate of the proposed changes is dclinitely known. In case the transfer cannot be effected, it is not the opinion that Capt. j T.M'1 r-niff si?rn;il officer. I vnwwijr >. i.J. UV, ? It is one of the "plums" of the service, and there is not a colonel of the line who would not willingly accept it. Gen. ilazen held the rank of colonel when he was unpointed, and it is not probable an cftkx-r of a lower rank could jump to a brigadier generalship. Another question has arisen in connection with the temporary 'ippoint * ment of Captain Greeiy. The statutes have it that there shall be no temporary ap- j pointments for a longer period than ten j days after the death, resignation or dismis- ! sal of an official. There is some difference ; of opinion as to the proper construction to be placed on the statute. The second comptroller will take up this question irVir.n ?< <> dfivs inivc i-xmred from the death of Gen. Ila/.c-n, and will probably render some decision on the dispute points. Wall Paper*.

''It is a startling fact, shown up by re- 1 liable figures," said an army officer .yes- j terday, that 50 per cent, of the soldiers in : department were, during the past year, tried by court martial. Most of them, of ^ course, were tried for petty offenses,such as drunkenness, being off duty without leave of absence. This is a pitiful shoving, and j at the same time its truth cannot be disputed. It proves that there is something ' radically wrong with the present system of court martial. As the thing is now, if i a soldier goes off or becomes intoxicated, he is immediately tried by court martial and sentenced to a term in the guard house. That relieves him from duty, and j throws the work on the men who behave tli omen! vac Tliic c1icr?Anr?>rroc cmnrl soldiers and hc-lps the bad ones. The fact is there ought to be a fixed code of laws, rigidly enforced, with a cer- . tain punishment for each crime?something similar to the code which obtains in the police court. Then a soldier who dis- \ obeys these laws would know just what punishment to expect. Under the present system a soldier, tried by our court mar- | tial, might get a sentence more severe or more lenient than a soldier who commits the very same crime, but is tried by a dif- j ferent court martial board. In my opinion : there ought to be less guard house sentence and more fining dont?. Let a soldier . xmcjerstand that an infringement of the lawis going to cost him the half or whole | of his month's pay, and he Will be pretty j apt to keep straight. For that reason a | fixed code of laws and fines ought to be I | determined upon.?Omaha Bee. Xcw Fatl for Collectors. A new fad for collectors has been dis- : covered, namely, engraved plates. It is j no' > -ugh to collect etchings and engravii:-_rs. but these enthusiasts want the steel i and Conner nlates that thev ivere printed ! from. Is there a stray hobby for any one left to ride? This is an age of collections, : and what "rafts" of matter pass through tlie auction rooms into the parlors and libraries and cabinets of our wealthy citizens! Pictures, prints, first editions, coins, clocks, watches, bric-a-brac, minerals, curios, autographs, photographs, ; gems, postage stamps, walking sticks, umbrellas (!), gloves, firearms, swords, carvings, play bills, book plates, buttons and business cards. The man who made a collection of cigar stumps Is already noted beyond his deserts. The piquancy of this j metal plate collecting doubtless consists in the difficulty of securing examples of value, for those made by painter etchers are commonly defaced or destroyed after a limited number of impressions have been taken, and it- U a matter of principle with the etcher that no .impression shall be struck after the lines becrin to show sims of weakening under the strain of the press.?Brooklyn Eagle.
