LOOK OUT FOR SCOUNDRELS!

LOOK OUT FOR SCOUNDRELSI
On the 9Th of this month"; between two and three
o'clock in the morning. some scoundrei or scoun-
drels broke open the door of the back shed OF my
store By thrusting knife through q small crack
between the two planks they succeeded in throwing
the crossbar off of the hook and entered the she'd
room without any difficulty; they then took the,
window down which was fixed in the partition be-
tween the store and shed. l suppose as they were
crossing over the window, unfortunately for them,
but in my favor, they struck the gun with their head
or pushed it off with the window down to the floor.
The gun was leaning nail inside the store against
the window. The falling of the gun and the window
alarmed my Bull Dog, and then he made his charge
on the midnight walkers with tremendous fury, and
made them leave without further success they had
only three steps to make and they would be in pos
session of the drawer, which contained eighty dol
lars, (the drawer was unlocked;) but my komor
knew too we'll that was asleep, and he soon found
out that some unlimited customers were ransackng
in the store, so he made them leave Immediately,
without discharging their duty not even giving them
time to carry off the treasure. Through my care
lessness I gave them good chance to make their
fortune that night but as the cowardy scamps fall
ed, they will never get such another chance in this
place. My desire is to inform these vagabonds that
hereafter shall be myself on the guard, and if ever
meet with any of them seeking for dishonest en-
ployment in the late hours of the night to trans
act their business in my store, when every honest
man is slumbering from the hard tolls of the day,
pledge myself-even without asking "How their
families come on?"-that will wrap up some of my
Buck-shot in their shirt-tails.

THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN M1NNEsoTA.-The
Albany Atlas and Argus says:
Last week the black republicans shouted over their
pretended victory in Minnesota!
We called on them to stop-to remember Iowa
and to give chance for the democratic counties to
be heard from!
The appeal to truth and reason was in vain. They
shouted and hurrahed, with lungs as unweared as
their credulity.
They cried "all hail" to Minnesota; and they
thanked the "Germans" for helping them to carry
the victory much as Bombastes would have done:
Thanks, brave army! Now begone to bed
To-day we begin to hear the truth. Out of 46
delegates the democrats carry 3d. the black repub-
licans 1!
The Tribune attempts to cover the defeat by saying
the republicans carry "the rural districts, and the
democrats "the large towns" Rural districts"
and large towns" in the Territory of Minnesota

A Case Under the New stay Law.

An important and interesting question was
presented to the District Court of Philadel-
phia. on Saturday morning. arising under the
recent Act of 18th October, 1851, allowing a
stay of execution for one year.
In May, 1857, John Sidney Jones confessed
Judgment in favor of IIaggertr Il Go, for
S24O0, to secure the payment of three pro-
missory notes of $500, on condition that if
any one of them should mature and be unpaid
the plaintiffs should have execution for the
whole amount of their debt. u On the 18th of
October, 1857, the day the new act became
law, the first note became due and was not
paid On the 18th Of October, the plaintiffs
issued an execution for the whole amount OF
their claim, and the defendent now comes INTO
Court and asks stay of execution Tor one
year from this time. .
Judge Parsons, on behalf of the defendant
offered to show tnat the defendant was the
owner in fee of certain real estate, worth be-
yond all membranes, the amount of the judg-
ment
David Webster, Esq, for plaintiffs. object
cd to the right of the defendant to have fur
ther stay, and contcnded-
lst That the agreement on which the judg-
ment was confessed, provided that an eXecu
tion might issue, if any one OF the notes re-
manned unpaid that this was a contract be-
tween the parties, and that the recent act CIV
ing the defendant stay beyond the period
contracted for violated the 10th section OF
article Ist of the Constitution of the United
States. Mr.. Webster argued this point at
great length, and referred to numerous deci-
sions, among which were Bronson vs.. kinzie,
l Howard, Sup. Court Rep. u. - Me-
Cracker vs. Hayward Howard GrantIey's
Lessees. 8 Howard Eberle VS.. Cunningham,
3 Wharton Western Savings Fund vs. The
City, Law Journal
ID That the defendants case came within
the exceptions contained in the act of 18th of
October 1857.
Sd. That the defendant had already had
his stay of execution under his agreement, and
could not get further stay.
4th That the agreement amounted to
waiver of the new stay, as it contained an ex-
press stipulation that the execution might be
issued if any one of the notes remained un-
paid.
Judge Parsons, in reply, argued that the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, in Watts
and Serg. had affirmed the eonstitutionality of
the Stay Law of iS42 and that the act of
1857 was equally constitutional as it acted
not on the rights Of parties, but On the RENE
dies.
The Court decided that the defendant was
not entitled to stay Of execution.
