Some objections have been urged to the Board-of-Fir missioneis bill in the shape in which it has been prepared. lt is i question win ther tlie bill ought to be made operative from Muv 1st or July Kt. in the matter of naming tho board. if, as proposed, they shall be named in Ihc .tv d. li Ration, who sro re- Bpoinible t thc people, will have ti) un¬ dertake tijut duty.

Jnd»e Hogtie* Dlaebarcea Max Boa deltcher iron, Cuatody. Judgo Hughes arrived in the city yes¬ terday morning from his home, in Nor folk, and at once proceeded to the Unitoil States Court rooms, in tho old (irani building, on Twelfth street between Mar¬ shall and Clay. Soon after the Judge'sarrival e»Judgc Edmund Waddill, Jr., and Mr. William Flegenheimer, as counsel for Max Rcs th it. lier, the Austrian peddler charged with having passed a counterfeit SUO note on Samuel Shapowitch in Chester, Pfc., presented a petition asking that a writ of nebea* corjwi be barned, returnable forthwith, upou which their client might be brought before Judge Hughes with a view to securing his discharge from cus¬ tody. HISTORY OF THU CASE. Tho complainant, Shapowitch, who was doing businefs at that time, charges that on tho l'Jth of April, 1887, the prisoner made some small purchases from him and paid for the goods with a $20 note, which proved to bo coonter- fcit; and on Monday, December 90th, he met Bosdettchi r on the street, wt nt before Commissioner Pleasant* and made his complaiut, a warrant was issued, and the accused taken before Mr. Pleasant*, who, after hearing the evidence, sent him on to the grand jury to be tried in the Shite ia which the offence is alleged tc have been committed. Rocdeitcner claims that the only transaction he evei had with Shapowitch took place on Sun¬ day the 29th of March, 1887; that the two made the trade of some wearing ap¬ pen 1 and that he had no $-20 note, but pail' the 63 difference iu the value of the goods. TUP PETITION. The petition for the writ alleged that the accused was illegally in custody and that he could not lie imprisoned and beldon them/AmtfJ Of Commissioner PloMsnts t<> await trial for an offence alleged to have boen committed in the State of Pennsylvania, anti fer which ot¬ ho had been regularly examined by said Commissioner Pleasants some davseiaos and by him sent onto the grand jury and held to await removal to the State of Pennsylvania. orrs TU whit AMD is DfBOHABBBD, The Judye awardeel the writ of f corpus, directed to Bberiff Southward, ol Henrico comity, in whose keeping Elosdeitoher waa, and the body of the petitioner was forthwith brought into Boort bj Deputy United States Marshal Overliy and Sherill' Southward. Tho Court, after fally considering thc matter and hearing the evidence adduced and the arguments of counsel for and I thc application, the District Attorney (Colonel Gibson) appearing for ivemment, directed thereleaMof the accused, and he was forthwith set at Ubi rty. This is an exceedingly important eas", particularly upon the question of the moiie of procedure ta thc Pt deni courts tiing parties accused of crime ta (tate and arrested ta another, from the pince of arrest to the State in winch tin y are to bo trad. BBB DBOmOB, Tho Judge in effect holds that pro- eec.bogs for the arrest of an se found m Virginia foran offence com¬ mitted rn another State should originate in the State where tue crime is all nitted ; that upon such pro. chare the necessary steps should be aiken to cause thc arrest and detention nf thc party for triai ; that the mere fact me person here alleged the oom- mission of a crime ia another State was not of itself sufficient to justify the ar¬ rest and imprisonment of a citizen in Virginia to await the action ot the courts in another State that might or might not he taken. Tin Jodge wm satisfied that Ibis proceeding was the result of bad feeling and amounted to malicious prose- ,-utiou. goold ur ru'.AiiitEsTF.n. Should the Pennsylvania authorities -ce lit they could take the Beet and within twenty-four hours se¬ nna the rearrest here of the sconced. I'hen be could be takeu to Pennsylvania for trial. As the mutter now stands thc -vidence is till in Richmond, if there il my anywhere to connect tho accuse.I with the- alleged offence, and the Phila- i hphiaor Cheater authorities huvo no knowledge of the case. Etoadmtchcr has spent much of his ife here, and the Dispatch is informed hat he, character has never before been juestioned. OTiir.n SUSISBSS. Judge Hughes during the dny entered miers in a large number of other cases, coat of them of an unimportant chanc¬ ier. In the case of S. Blanchard, who nile an assigimn nt here sonn three e irs a^ofora large sum, and in which an ir.ler ol distribution was entered in June kf last year, the .bulge made an order if final distribution, which puts an end o the litigation. Judge Hughes and Mr. M. F. Plea- lants, clerk of the Circuit Court, will MSW hen this morning for Alexandria, there they will remain until Saturday. NO SOLDIER. On Judge Hnghen's return Saturday io will lie called u]>on to hear the koocas-eorjnif case instituted hythe DOthct of Edward W. Richardson (col- ired), who hus enlisted in the cavalry of ho (Jolted States army. It is alleged hat Richardson is still a" minor, and his nother asks that Lieutenant Thurston, ho recruiting officer, bo restrained from lokUag him.

REPORT OT THE OBAWD JUST Ol THE HECENT ESCAPE OF PRISOHERI. Jr Their Obisrvationi oa th* Priion BJ' -*t- mtat-A Bnmbsr of Indiot- maets Pound, Ac. Yesterday the Hastings-Con rt grand jury looked into the matter of the escape of certain prisoners from tho city jail on December 16th. A number of witnesses wero examined and the jury formulated a report, which was presented to tlie Court. jrRORS' OBSERVATIONS. In tho repost thaw say that "tho es¬ cape was duo to the employment of prisoners to perform duties outside tho prison proper (but inside the entrance- yardi and carelessness on the part of the officers of the jail in the manner of se- curing tho prisoners confined in the dungeon unsecured by a lock. They think that tho presence of a single watch- man ou duty for a portion of time. from 7 to B P. M..was wrong ; and the grand jun- further find that there is evidence liefore them to show great remissness on the part of the jailor and every officer in the general security of the jail."

The Boston Ideals, under the manage¬ ment of Mr. W. H. Foster, playenl the opera of "FraDiavolo" last evening to a tine audience. The company has been laboring under some difficulties here by reason e-f several of their principal peo- pie suffering from severe colds and sore throats. The opera hist evening was creditably given notwithstanding. Miss Avery, it is said, played the part ofyZer- lina for the first time, and a member of the chorus had to la- substituted for Mr. Myron in the character of (iiacomo. Though the company is with its full com- plement strong and evenly balanced, there were some weak points in the cast last evening. The opera is a charming composition, and has been so often reu- demi here by eminent arti*tm that the Ideals suffered by the inevitable com- jmrison which ap naturally arose to the minds of all who had aeen it well given before. The chorus and the orchestra eape-' cially did their work most faithfully and effectively. We must congratulate Mies Avery upon her d*OMlasZe<rlina. She rendered thia exacting rule pleasantly and with grace. Ordinarily abe lacked force, y* t in many of the climaxes she came out with surprising strength and spirit Mr. Appleby s Fra Dmvolo whim having some points of excellence, was not alto¬ gether pleasing. His voice ia rather rah snit metallic. Tho Lord and Lady lllcashof .Mr. Herbert and Miss Camp¬ bell wt re good enough in their way, but presented no special feature ot interest. Mr. Pastor appeared as Lorenzo, and he sang bis numbera very sweetly indeed. He bsa a pure tenor voice and knows how to use it. Mr. Clark made the hit of the evening an Beppo. In the last act he in¬ terpolated '. Let All Obey," from Balfe's " Enchantress," and woo rapturous ap¬ plause for his rendering of this popular song. To-night Carmen will be given with the full strength of tho company. As the opera will take Wtween three and four hon ts for its rendition it has been requested by the management that the addienos be in their seats at least ten minutes before H o'clock. mr BTAYSra wak v ran cl.

cape was duo to the employment ofprisoners to perform duties outside thoprison proper (but inside the entrance-yardi and carelessness on the part of theofficers of the jail in the manner of se-

curing tho prisoners confined in thedungeon unsecured by a lock. Theythink that tho presence of a single watch-man ou duty for a portion of time. from7 to B P. M..was wrong ; and the grandjun- further find that there is evidenceliefore them to show great remissness on
