Nine prisoners, eight colored and one white, were in the procession of unfortunates in Judge Kimbaii's court this morning and there were more lawyers than prisoners in court. Walter Washington and George Coleman, colored boys, were charged with disorderly conduct in the P street market, where they were skylarking, and the judge released them on their own recognizance, warning them to be more careful in the future.

In every phase of thi: nervous, impulsive and passionate part Bernhardt is supremely effective and wonder- fully natural. So delicate, refined and finished is her art that it is absolutely concealed, and Gulberte seems to live and suffer and dies in reality to the overwrought feelings of the a dience. It is not alone Bernhardt’s melodious ice, clear and distinct even in its woftest , nor her marvelous elocution, nor her wonderful play of features and’ eloquent pantomime, nor yet her perfect command of every stage resource—it is not in any one of these respects that she is great, but she com- bines them allin such perfect degree that in every character she assumes she leaves nothing to be desired, aud it seems impossible that it conld be better performed.

B.,” en- titled “Holding Up a Herdic,” which, in my opinion, does great injustice to a class of an- dustrious and very hard-worked men. There can be no doubt that the drivers of the herdic coaches are worked harder and have more to look after than the employes connected with any other kind of public conveyance in this city. They have a» pair of horses to drive, must drive on time, make change and sell tickets and then see that the passengers “put only the exact fare in the box,” register all fares aud in cold weather the rear doors must be opened and shut after each passenger desir- ing to get im or out of the coach, and then ‘keep their eyes peeled’ for would-be passen- gers & square or more away in every direction. All of said duties it should be remembered have to be performed in a very much cramped sitting position, which, when the weather is cold and inclement, cannot fail to be very try- ing on the poor herdic driver, us a man's blood don't circulate as well in ‘such a position as it docs if he 1s yenabled to be on bis feet and move round a little. Ihave resided on 15th street on the line of the herdics for the past six years, and my experi- ence and observation during that time lead me to assert that as arule the herdic drivers ar both careful and cousiderate of their passen- ers. In couciusion permit me to say that the lerdic Company have a rule, which the drivers are instructed to rigidly enforce, viz: ‘No in- toxicated person zis allowed to ride in the couches.” Now if the driver of whom “I.N.B.” complains saw “I. N. ." in the midale of 16th street late Saturday night going through, what he himself is pleased to style, a “wind mill performance” (which 1 presume means that he Was making wild gesticulations), it is more than possible that the driver thought “I. N. B.” was in an inebriated condition, and whipped up the horses ir. Order to get away from im as rapidly a8 possible. 8.

Last night's Assembly dance at Linthicum Hall was as perfect a one as has ever been given in Georgetown and its success is being talked of enthusiastically today. Many Washingtonians wero over and many pleasant things were said by them relative to Georgetown society. ‘The pretty hall was fairly ablaze with beauty, both natural and artificial, and by artificial beauty is meant the toilets of the ladies, for those es- sentials to a dance were costumed most charm- ingly. Tie music was new and excellent, and the supper would have pleased the most fastid- ious ep:eure. Not the slightest incident that would have marred the pleasure of the even- ing occurred, and when at last, owing to the Sppesrance of another day, the dance was stopped, all left the room with regrets. A pleasant feature of these dances is the care taken by the committee to see that all compara- tive strangersare speedily made to feel at home Among those present were: Mesdames Hyd Marshall, Gordap, Colvees, Zane, Groenices, Misses Compton, Clark,’ Wilson, Hanson, Matthows, Hester.

Shilling and Station Keeper Rollins on promotion in the Police force. Mr. Holland stated in bis com- munication that the remarks of these officers were very suggestive at this time, in view of the recent killing of young Lomas, and requested that the Commission: ers give the matter their attention. ‘The mattcr was sent to Maj. Moore, who for- warded it to the officers above mentioned for Teport. This was sent to the Commissioners ‘The officers say that the conversation alleged to have taken place is a garbled atate- ment and is not true. ‘They say that there was nothing said with reference to the manner in which promotions aro made. In forwarding the papers today Maj. Moore says that police- men are as apt to be misquoted in their in- formal station house confubs 48 are orators in their public utterances.

As decided on Wednesday night the republican caucus committee in ite report of candidates for minor offices disregarded the ishes of Engle (ind.). Lieut. Gov. Poyner, at the opening, announced a change in his posi- tion. Heretofore he has held that the votes of the majority of the members-elect were noces- snry to choose permanent officers. He modified this by holding that only a majority of a quo- rum was necessary. The senate then proceeded to vote for secretary. The republicans voted for Cliff and Engle for Kennedy, while the democrats refrained from voting. ‘The licuten- ant governor, however, caused a number of their namesto be recorded as present and then announci that Cliff was elected. ‘The demo- crate protested, but wero powerless.
