REPLY TO JUDGE DOUGLAS.

The Washington Constitution has got out a re-
plv to Judge Douglas Harper article-got out by
somebody who is either afraid or ashamed to faith
er it, The Constitution thinks it amazingly
smart affair, which awfully "chaws up the
Little Giant" as to place him beyond all hope
of being put into presentable shape again.
The article in the Constitution consists Of a re-
hash of the old fre-eating bosh against the i'm
pregnable position of Douglas, and will prove
nearly as destructive handful of dried peas
hurled against quarry of his native Vermont
marble.
By-the-way, we notice that few Northern dem
ocratc papers hasten to publish the reply to Juoge
Douglas, but find it for their convenience no. 70

OF.
We consider 'sthe reply" understood to be

\ "HARD CASE" IN CUsroDY.-Our read
ers will remember, that in July last we men
toned the theft of valuable horse from our
tovnsman III. W r. Dean, and the recovery
of the animal, disguised by coat OF paint.
Sheriff Flanagan satisfied himself who the
culprit was but did not succeed IN taking
him. Several weeks since span of horses
were stolen in Hoosick, n. Y. They were
disguised with some kind ola dye, were Of
iered for sale, recognized as stolen property
and an attempt was made to secure the
thief. He made his escape, however, and
the officers came up this way IN search
of him They did not find him but
their description showed that it was the
same operator at work in that quarter, and
Mr. Flanagan undertook the task of secur-
inc him. Having learned that his father
lived in Gardner, Massachusetts,, persons
were placed upon the watch, and
few days since he was taken in bed at MD
nieht in his fathers house, and lodged IN
Worcester Jail, to await requisltlon from
Gov. Hall of VT Provided with this Sher-
rff Flanagan proceeded thither and returned
Sept. o2d, with his man. His name is
George Stacy, and though but % or "a years
old, he is hardened and desperate offender.
In 1855 he was tried in Massachusetts, for
the murder, in their bed, oftwo aged maiden
ladies named Kneeland; but escaped convic-
ton for lack of conclusive evidence. Since
then he has served term in Clinton Prison,
\. Y, for burglary. He is now fully recoS-
nized not only as the thief who took Mr..
Dean s horse, but as the man who stole a
woke of oxen from Mr.. Burial Lane of this
town, and sold them for beef.
He has furnished matter for many news
paper paragraph, and even our tender footed
neighbor, as we are little surprised tt
nerceive, mentions his name in advance
trial with entire disregard Of ''unnecessa1
publicity." and without any endorsement O.
his respectability. He will have speedy tria
and will be likely soon to retire from pub
lie notice for a while.
