six days from Chagres with ITO passengers, and
large amount Of gold dust.
The steamers Crescent City, North America

constantly being made; in fact, the prospects
from all quarters appear to be encourag ng.
Decision was given in the District Court OF

on which the city is located. No further attempts
have been made to dislodge them, nor is il
likely there will be.

HORSE STEALING AND KTLLING.-An article
in the New York Courier and Enquirer makes
the following statement:
There still exist and thrive in this city the
remnant of body of men who figured largely,
till within some few months since, as horse
stealers and killers, and who-nothing having
latsly been heard Of them-are commonly sup
posed to be extinct. Their business is to drive
strayor unmatched cattle to vacant lots of ground
in the Northern and Eastern parts of the city,
and there watch an opportunity, when the police
men on duty il out of sight or hearing, to fell
the animals dead, strip off their hides-which
are disposed Of by contract to some tanner-and
carl of the flesh to the vicinity of some butchers
shamble.
Six months ago, the depredations of these
man had extended SO far that it was calculated
that no less than FIVE hundred horses were clan
destinely disposed of each month The ener-
ret;c measures then taken, caused a number of
these snatchers to be beaten back into New Jer-
sew, and a good portion of the remainder to
unrsue some more honest or less vile occupa-
ton. But il would seem that those now in the
traffic are amasters of the trade" and more des-
perats and high handed in their measures than
In il palmiest days, and have 80 organized them
sslv6a, and can 30 concert their schemes, as to
make preliminary measures for their conviction
futile, and the taking theu in the act next to i'm
possible.
Rspidity of operation in this business is the
first condition Of success. In dangerous local
tiles children are found TO be of service, and
troops Of these are brought up to skin and to
lie II fsund nsar carcase, they are seldom
suspected; and they are adopts in evasive an.
swerA They ase usually dressed in squalid
clothes, and keep on their countemnce studied
absence Of AL marks Of intelligence. One law
less operator laaely offered to bet with one I
eur civSc functionaries that lad he had with
hin, mere child, would skin horse in fifteen
minutes. The dead carcase was then before
them, and though the bet wa not accepted, the
thing was douel The history OF some of these
children would read like romance. We need
not remind our readers that city ordinance IL
n existence which makes II penal 10 retain dead
animals within the city limits; and that proper
mesns ars provided for their removal.
