REMARKABLE. The landlord of one of our
hotels the other day, actually recovered an
umbrella taken from his house by customer
There are three things remarkable in the case.
The first is that the man should have taken
the umbrella,-the second is-and the most
PROFESSIONALISM the landlord should have
entertained the idea Of ever finding it; and
the third is that the man taking it should have
given up his individual right in an article usu-

The Isms VS.. the Democracy.

1t is honorable to the Democatic party (says
the Washington SentineD that it was selected
by all the sms as the object Of their united at,
tack. 1t shows that there is no sympathy and
no affinity between Democracy and unsound
factions. When the sound men of the country
who only desire to know the truth in order to
follow it, shall see this-and it il now plain
and palpable even to the dullest and the most
distrustful then may we expect them 10 ally
themselves with us. We may also reasonably
expect those who have been deIuded and de-
ceived into the opposition by designing dema-
gogues, TO come back and aid US in overthrow
ing them. There is one thing certain, and it
is that the combination against the democrat
ic party cannot hang together. Patience, dis
cipHne, energy, and vigilance are all that we
need at the present time.

bic the second edition Of the above work, con
tanning 234 pages. The following are the
subjects treated upon :-Character-Th HUI

partnership. The manner in which these top

on the part Of the author, which we admire,
and although the mode of reasoning may not
be adopted by all, yet there are none, we i'm

al. Were it made a matter Of conscience by
all Christians to reject the dogmas of antiquity
when they stand in open hostility to truth and

INTERFERENCE WITH CRIMINAL
TkIALs-THE TRIBUNE AND THE
TIMES.

Those twin brothers in Abolitionism. the
New York Tribune and the New York Times,
not content with their oficious interference
with the Ward trial in Kentucky, and their
mean and malignant persecution OF the prisoner
have recently been engaged in the same con.
genial labor of love in New York, in the trial
of DR.. Graham for the killing of Colonel Loring
These two journals seem to have no idea OF
order and system. They are not content that
there shall be separate departments in law, bu-
siuess, or anything else. They would make a
tumble Of all things. They mix law, medicine,
politics, business, and religion, all together in
one confused and heterogeneous mass. Nor are
they satisfied unless they have finger in every
thing that goes on. Of courts, judges, juries,
and witnesses, they are especially distrustful.
They seem to think that no Judge can inter
pref the law, no jury give an honest verdict,
and no witness tell the truth unless they come
forward to instruct and to assist them. They
keep up running commentary on the pro-
ceedings in important criminal trials with the
sole view Of impressing their own views and
opinions on the juries and on the public. They
are SO presumptuous as to believe that their
opinions are more to be relied on than the ad-
indications and settled practice ofthe courts and
the laws of the land. An offence, committed
by Southern man, no matter where or under
what circumstances especially arouses all their
energy and inAames all their malignity. South
ern blood is Of itself criminal in their eyes.
and without inquiry, they are always prepared
TO condemn and to punish any Southern man,
guilty or innocent, who is accused of a crime
Their cry is ever for blood.

Howard, formerly of that city, and speaks Of
him in the following just terms:
DEATH OF CHARLES Hoy4Rpc-We regret TO
learn that this gentleman, for many years clerk
Of the Hastings Court of this city, and in that
capacity universally beloved and respected, died
at the residence Of his fatherin-law, Col. Smith,
in Northumberland county, on Wednesday last,
Of hemorrhage from the lungs Mr.. Howard
was one of the best officers in Virginia, as long
as he held the clerkship Of the Hastings court.
He was BESIDES man Of fine intellect, and Of
very handsome requirements. He appears
to have been entirely unambitious, and to
have preferred the calm Of private life, to the
honors Of public station. Otherwise, doubt
less, he would have ranked high among the
distinguished men Of bis day. he preserved,
through life, pure and unbIemished reputa.
ton, and was, in every respect, higb-toned
gentleman. He is great loss to this com.
munity.

From the Chicago Journal.
OF an EXPRESS Rnhher.

On Monday morning last Messrs. Adams 4
Company autographed from their Boston ex-
press office 10 the authorities at Buffalo that an
agent in their employ had absconded with sew
eral thousand dollars and was supposed to
have gone west, giving his name as Potter, aud
such description as enabled Mr.. Boyington to
remember to have seen what he now believed
was the thief, only few days previous, and
under the following circumstances: A young
man was noticed last week by the Buffalo po-
lice in company of several known suspicious
characters. He was seen to bleed freely at the
hands of his associates and was finally found
in gambling he'll where he lost some hun
dreds at monte with the blacklegs. He, how
ever much such representations to the officers
as procured his release, and stating that he was
son OF Mr.. Adams, of the Express company
he followed the assertion with such facts re.
lating to the family of Mr. A. as seemed sufi-
cient to corroborate his assertions.
II was found that he had registered himself
at the Wadsworth House, as j. A. Brown. of
New York, a circumstance he explained by
saying that his father, (Mr. Az never used his
own name at a hotel Upon the receipt of the
dispatch, Mr.. Boyington called to mind the
ca deram Adams, and grew suddenly anxious
to ascertain his whereabouts. Finding reason
to believe that he had taken westward course
he started for cleveland. He found that a DER.
son who had registered himself at the New Eng.
land Hotel as &C. A. Bryant, No God,n an.
swered well to his description, but here all
trace Of him ended. After passing Tuesday in
Cleveland, Mr.. B. tarted for this city at a ven
ture, hoping to find traces of him here. He
learned in Cleveland that one or two of the
Buffalo fancy" had kept Adams alias Brown
alias Bryant company, on his arrival at the
Matteson House, last evening, he was encour-
aged by the sight of one of those gentlemen, to
believe that he was the right track. To late
hour last night he watched at the Matteson in
the hope of seeing his man.
Early on Thursday morning he went to the
hotel, saw the sporting man, and had Just cal
led him aside for the purpose of conference,
when the omnibus drove up from the M. C. R. R.
depot with passengers from the Cincinnati ex-
press, and among the "son of Mr.. Adams
Taking good look to make sure of his iden-
tity, Mr.. Boyington passed his arm through that
OF the gentleman, and the guest of the Matte
son House was soon in the much less desirable
quarters of our Jail. He fully confessed his
crime, and delivered to Mr.. Boyington wallet
containing $1,000 and an elegant watch and
seal he had purchased in Columbus. He will
be taken back to Boston for trial. He is a Young
man of proposing appearance, and about "a
years of age. Mr. Boyington deserves great
credit for his sagacity and skill in the manage
ment of the affair.

THE TnrBuNn ON BLooDHoUSps.

The New York Tfi6une has valued cores
pendent in Washington who signs himself
" Particulier.r An a, in the place of the E,
was probably intended. This correspondent
under date of 9th of October writes to the inn
maeulate Greeley, that bloodhounds have been
introduced in Washington, for the purpose of
catching runaway negroes. Particular tells
the following tale:
\ " A few days since while passing down Tenth
street from Pennsylyania avenue to the Smith.
sonian Institute, before reaching the canal,
was overtaken and passed by large dog (which
afterwards learned was bloodhound) with
his nose on the scent close to the ground AS
he hastily ran along he dragged by means Of
rope tied around his neck two-tegged crea-
ture, apparently in pursuit of some game, and
who, but for some after developments, might
have passed in the worlds great eye for man.
" Naturally feeling lite interested in the
object OF their pursuit, as my steps quickened,
my eyes followed them about square, when
the dog taking a sudden turn to the right run
between two high piles Of boards in a lumber.
yard at the canals bank, jerking the attached
appendage with him."
10 cut long story short, the runaway was
a negro boy. He was, according to the Tri-
6u'le's correspondent concealed between two
piles of boards. The dog smelt him out, and
the master drew him from his place Of confne-
ment without his receiving any manner of
injury from the dog, The narrator describes
the scene as "heartrending, appalling and ter
rife in the extreme" His virtuous heart opal
plated wildly with indignation but with
characteristic abolition caution, he depressed
his outraged feelings.
If this story were true, it would simply
amount to this: That the owner of the boy had
more confidence in the dogs nose than his
own, and that when he started him on the pur.
suit of the runaway, he confined him with
rope, and when he found the boy he restrained
the dog from doing him any damage.
But we do not hesitate to declare our belief
that the whole thing is fabrication. 1t is
either gotten up to help the Abolitionists gen.
orally, or to humbug the arch.Abolitionist Of
the Tribune. The probability is, that it is the
quiz Of some Washington wag.
The Tribune deyotes pungent paragraph
to the subject in which the following sentence
occurs:
At last, bloodhounds are introduced into
the metropolis OF the nation, to catch fugitive
slaves, and it may be added, the progress of
Democratic" ideas being so RAPID, we must
look for the advance of these highly gifted
quadrupeds to the North"

THE Loss OF THE STEAMER AncrI,

THA Loss OF THE STEAMER ARCTIC.
The sad intelligence Of the loss of the Arctic,
and large number of those on board Of her,
was communicated yesterday in an extra issued
from our Office. We publish this, morning all
the distressing details of this melancholy dis.
aster, as far as they have reached as. 1t is not
yet known how many were lost--and although
a list Of those who sailed in her, as reported for
the London Morning Chronicle, has been pub.
lished, still there are many anxious hearts now
throbbing with the fear that relatives or friends
may have been on board, whose names were
omitted. But agonizing indeed must be the
feelings Of those to whom the sad knowledge
has come that the loved and cherished have
found watery grave, where no tear can reach
them. There are those in this community who
have been stricken by this calamity, and have
strong claim on our sympathy.
But the mourners are not confined to this
community, or TO this country. They extend be-
yond the confines of our continent, and to other
quarters of the globe. This has truly been a
season of remarkable events-of immense and
wholesale destruction of human life; and we
sincerely hope that the loss of this noble steamer
and her lamented crew will be the closing scene
of this tragic year.
