Showing to my mind, conclusvely, that the
council had in view the expenses of the presi-
dental election, at the time of passing the APP
preparation ordinance, and intended the expen-
SEES Of said election, as had already been shewn
in evidence, that at the presidential election,
in lSlo, compensation was paid for services
rendered by clerks and judges at said election.
With these views of the case, there is no
doubt, in tny mind, that the plaintiff is entitled
10 Tccouer; folly ConcurTing with the counsel for
the plaintiff Judgment for the plaintiff, for
debt, - and costs.
(Signed) WIN. A. SCHAETFER,
Justice Of the Peace.
For the plaintiff, VIM. II Watson, Esq; fol-
the city, Hugh Davey Evans, Esq.
ETecutire Ctemency. We learn that Harvey
Hevener and Thomas Stubbins, who was tried
and convicted in Baltimore city court, few
days ago, for murderous and most brutal as.
sault upon Joseph Wiley and police officer
of the city, and sentenced by the court to fine
and imprisonment, were on Thursday pardoned
by Goa Thomas. We agree with the Patriot
"thut it would be almost as well to abandon Tic
trial of persons charged with criminal offences
during the remaining month of the term Of of
fee Of the present Governor" as it is useless
waste of time and money in trying them, as il
seems they have hut to petition for pardon, and
have it granted, no matter what the nature oil
| the crime may be.
Daring Burglary and Robbery. The dwelling
house Of Joseph Bonn, Esq. in Camden street,
opposite the City Spring, was entered by some
villain or villains OH Thursday night between
the hour of 10 o'clock and morning, and robbed
ola gold watch, valued at two hundred dol
lars, silver soup ladle, one dozen silver table
spoons, twenty tea spoons also of silver, two
mustard spoons of the same material, two sill
yer bntter-kniyes, a one dollar note and about
two dollars in silver coin. The robber or rob-
bers entered the house from the hack yard, by
saving or wrenchng two Of the slabs from the
window shutter whereby they were enabled to
raise the window and enter the house. They
entered the bedroom Of Mr.. Bonn, and car
red his panta oOnS, vest and coat down stairs,
where they were found in the morning. The
one dollar bill was taken from the pocketbook,
and the silver coin from the pantaloons pocket.
The drawers of the bureau, desks, tables, sc,
had all been opened. \ box OF matches was
found IN the yard close b. the window. Sc
veral burgl.rios OF similar nature have been
committed in various parts of the city, which
proves conclusvoy, that there is at this time
in this city, an organized band Of thieves, who
have been the perpetrators ofthese daring rob-
berries. Our citizens should be on their guard,
and when visited by these gentlemen, be pre-
pared to give them warm reception. Our
interchangeable police are on the alert, and il is
hoped that their efforts may be crowned by a
speedy arrest OF the robbers.
.fnoiher Robbery The store and dwelling of
Mr. Cohen in Lombard st. was entered on the
same night and robbed of quantity of cloth
lug valuee at $3.50. No clue to the perpetra-
tors.
And get .4not'ter. A paper bundle belonging
to gentleman, stopping for few days at one
of our Hotels, was taken from his room some
time during the day Of Thursday. The bun
die contained several shirts, collars, socks,
handkercheis, &c. Strangers stopping at the
Hotels cannot be too cautious in looking to
their baggage, as there is a large body ofrogues
in the city, whose place Of operations seems
to be confined to the rooms of the Hotels. Cam
not some plan be adopted by the proprietors Of
Public Houses, for the better security of their
guests We think it could, and it ought to be
done at once.
U. S. Circuit Court. In this Court, yester-
day morning, Chief Justice fancy read long
written opinion in the case of James G.. VIII
son, of Boston, assignee of Long and Woods
worth, patentees of a machine to plane and
groove flooring, praying an injunction to stay
the use OF such machinery by Mr.. Joseph Tur-
ncr, Of this city, upon an alledged infringement
of patent right. The Court refused TO grant
the injunction. The learned Judge stated that
the opinion would need some corrections, which
would be done, and the paper filed for the use
of the Court.
Improvement. That portion of Franklin-st,,
lying between Park and Howard sts., is beng
newly paved and curbed. This improvement
has been long desired by persons living in that
neighborhood. The contractor is MIR. John
Eshbaug.
Melancholy and fatal accident. An express
arrived in this city, last evening, bringing the
melancholy news of the death of Mr.. James
! Hanson, who was killed yesterday by acciden-
| tally getting entangled in the wheels of Mr..
Websters -four mill, near Cockeysville, Bati-
more county. He was terribly mangled-pro-
ducing instant death.
Sons of temperance. 1t will be seen by re-
ference toadvertisenent, that the Sons of Tenn
perance propose holding public meeting, on
Tuesday evening next, in the Madison-st. Bap-
list Church Addresses are expected to be de-
livered, and the meeting will no doubt be high
/ " interesting. We trust, now that public at
tenton has been relieved of recent political
matters, to see the efforts Of the friends of the
cause of temperance, crowned with great
