ChdpaHS CdptOTS.-Ihe very generous
State of Maryland has decided at last to give
to the men engaged in the capture of this
person, who was charged with the abduction
of negroes from the State, the immense
sum of $3.50! 1t will be remembered that
fire arms were freely used by the contending
parties in this affair, and the lives of the
men were frequently in danger. The State
made $4,000 by the capture of this man,
and, if We mistake not the general govern
ment made about $4,000 by the operation,
while the men who risked their lives wait
two years and get almost $500 each.

Arrest and Escape.-0ne of the officers of
the 9Th Ward made single handed attack
upon a gang of negroes who were gambling
in brickyard, yesterday. He seized two,
and was making off with them when O. rally
was made by the remainder, who began to
throw bricks at him. He let one go, and
scattered his sable opponents, and turning
to go off with his prisoner, he found that all
that remained of him was his coat he twist
ed out of it and left it with the officer. The
Chief of Police requests the owner to call at
his office and get the garment.
The Canal-The western part of the Ca
nal is navigable for boats built for the pur-
pose of gliding over the dark waters The
gas tar does not much affect the head
way of boats at that end. We hope the
worthy G. Commissioner will be able to get the
eastern end as Clear, and then boatmen may
be certain that, i'll the whole length of the
Canal, they will not run aground i'll the tar.
