to Smith & Co., to come and identify thier
property. In course of the next two days,
not only Smith but the representatives of a
dozen other stores which had been robbed,
were there. Smith found nearly all his lost
silks many others identified the whole or
part of theirs while much remained that
was not claimed by any one.
There was more than dozen taken at the
saloon, most Of whom were known to the
police; the matter was vigorously prosecu-
ted, and believe more than half were duly
convicted and sentenced in New York.
But what became of my twin brother Joe,
who had ANONYMOUSLY got these, his partic
ular friends, into trouble.
The conclusion of the whole matter can be
told briefly. as.. ...- ~
Joe was induced to accompany me so far
as Buffalo on my return home, where [ in
troduced him to my friend Deputy Crane,
who immediately escorted him to the "City
Hotel, !" with which | had once made slight
acquaintance. Smith & Co. and the clerks
recognized him at once, and volunteered to
see that he had justice. Deputy Crane,
Smith, Jones, and allmy persistent acquaint-
ances Of a month before, begged Thousand
pardons for their stupidity in thinking | re-
sembled the thief But more acceptable
was Smiths check for the thousand dollars,
and was more than willing to forgive Dep
uty Crane; for it was owing to his blunder
that much valuable property was returned
to therlghttul owners many rascals made
to suffer the penalty Of their crimes, and one
honest man paid for looking like rogue.

SPEECH OF HON. |. N. ARNOLD

We are indebted to Hon. l. N. ARNOLD,
from Illinois, for a copy of his late speech in
Congress, from which we make the follow
ing extracts "1-'
On the 22d of Feb 1882, the one hun
dredth anniversary Of the birthday of Wash
ington, Daniel Webster, speaking of the fear
| full consequences of disunion, says: .
''Other misfortunes may be borne, or their
effects overcome. If disastrous war should
sweep our commerce from the ocean, anotBG
er generation may renew it: if it desolate
and lay waste our fields, still, under new
cultivation, they will grow green again, and
ripen to future harvests. It were but tri-
file even if the walls of yonder Capitol were
to crumble, if its lofty pillars should fall, and
its gorgeous decorations be all covered by
the dust of the valley. All these might be
rebuilt But a0ho shall reconstruct the fabric
of demolished government Who shall rear
again the we'll proportioned columns of con-
stitutional liberty !? Who shall frame to-
gether thesEillful architrave which unites ma
tionaI sovereignty with State rights, indi-
vidual security, and public prosperity No,
if these columns fall, they will be raised not
again. Like the Coliseum and the Parthe-
non they will be destined to mournful, a
melancholy Immortality. Bitterer tears,
however, will flow over them than were ev-
er shed over the monuments of Roman or
Grecian art; for they will be the remnants
of more glorious edifce than Greece or
Rome ever saw, the edifce of constitutional
Amerjca@ Gboyty."
But have faith that under the guidance
of Providence, and under the basis of liberty
this Government is to be reconstructed. y
The ''skillful architecture which unites State
rights and national sovereignty, Individual
security and public prosperity" is to be again
embodied III still more perfect form not
on the basis Of adhering to old errors 'the
Union as it was, and the Constitution as it
is, but national unity without slavery and
the Constitution, the Magma Charta which
shall secure liberty to all. @
This is our grand aim. The wandering
stars are to be brought back with their lus-
ire frightened by the ordeal through which
they have passed. The grand edifce of Amer
lean Constitutional Government is to rise on
a broader, tirmer, more solid foundation, the
basis Of universal liberty.
Sir the old Continental Congress and the
Constitutional Convention are venerable land
monks in American history. We look back
to them with mingled reverence and admi-
ration. -..-.. .....
The Congress and the statesmen who shall
re-estabIish national unity, with the terri
bic scourge, slavery, destroyed, who shall
heal the wounds of this terrible war; will
have rendered a service to our country and
humanity equally memorable and still more
imDOrtant

DUTY or THE EXECUTIVE.


It is tie duty Of the Executive to see that
the laws are faithfully executed in every part
of the United States. 1t is his duty by the
sword and by the power Of war to destroy all
armed opposition to the Government. Ev-
erything necessary to accomplish this, and in
accordance with the rules Of war as recog-
nized by civilized nations he may rightfully
do lie may euancipate and arm slaves, ar
rest and con6ne dangerous public enemies, to
prevent the execution of reasonable designs;
and suppress for the time reasonable publ
cations; all this to be done under the rules
of war and the legitimate powers vested in
the Executive Of carrying on war against
public enemies and traitors. 1t is his duty
also to see that the constitutional guarantee
of a republican form of government under
the Federal Union shall be carried out. In
the absence of the action of Congress, he may
do all that it may be necessary to carry out
these purposes. He may appoint military
Governors. He may levy and collect taxes
and assessments He may institute tempo
rary tribunals to administer justice. He may
preserve the peace, prevent anarchy, and see
that Justice is done to all. In word, he
may and must govern the country in its
transition state from a rebel to loyal con-
dition, or until Congress provides by Law for
its government, or until the people organ
ize loyal State governments and are read
mitted into the Union. These principles are
sanctioned by the Supreme Court in the
California case, so often cited in this
House. #
These powers or most of them the Presi-
dent has exercised in Louisiana, in Arkan-
sas, and in Tennessee. He has done this I'M
der the advice and with the aid Of such men
as Andrew johnson, Generals Butler and
Banks; and the results are beginning to de-
yelop themselves in the disposition Of the
people of these States to return to the I'm
ion.
WHAT ARE THE POWERS OF CONGRESS?
Congress may and ought to pass all laws
which may be necessary to carry into effect
the power lodged in the Executive to admin
lister for the time being the government in
the territory in rebellion. Congress may reg

RECONSTRUCTION.

approach this question of reconstruction
with diflidence, conscious alike of its diff
cuties and of the fearful responsibilities rest
ing upon those by whom it is to be solved.
One thing, | think, may be regarded as set
tied. We can have no national union and
harmony without freedom. The fearful err
ror of uniting free and slave States we shall
never repeat .a. ..
But If the grand idea can be realized Of a
free, homogeneous people, united in a CONT
mental republic based on liberty to all, and
retaining the great principles of Magma
Charta as living principles Of our Govern
ment, we shall see realized the noblest struc-
ture Of government and national polity ever
organized upon earth. This is a great aim
to struggle for; it is glorious purpose to die
for. Is it practicable? Are we equal to it
Ifso, the terrible ordeal through which we
are passing, the trial by fire, and the bap-
tism Of blood, will be compensated by the
glorious future.
In discussing this subject Of reconstruc-
ton, | will only venture to-day to make sug-
gestions. The subject naturally divides it.
self into three parts
l. What are the relations of the rebel
States to the National Government?
2. What the duty of the Executive?
3. What the duty of Congress?
The status of the rebelious states is, that
they are portion of our country in revolt.
The Constitution and laws of the United
States are legally binding upon every person
within the rebel territory.
Every person who has violated his duty to
the Government, or broken it's laws and lev
led war upon it, is liable to be dealt with as
a criminal and traitor
The peoplein rebellion who have made wal
upon the nation are also i'll the position OF
public enemies, and liable to be treated as
such. The Government may proceed against
them, both as rebels, amenable to our laws
or as public enemies, subject to all the LA
bilities Of such. So much of this rebel terri
tory as we have brought by our arms
within our lines, is rightfulIy held under
military government and it is subject, fol-
the time being, to the government of the

have of skill and bravery in the field of
wisdom and integrity and patriotism and
craftsmanship in the cabinet, before we can
feel that our country "has weathered the
Storm" and call is we'll" Our greatest
danger arises from insane divisions among
ourselves With Lincoln at the helm Of
State with Grant commanding our armies,
and Chase holding the scarcely less difficult
and responsible position at the head Of the
Treasury, and cordial union of the friends
of these great leaders, and all loyal men our

The London Telegraph says that the paper left
by the murderer Muller has been opened and read
by the sherifTs of London, but It contained no
confession. Its object was to account for the
emFlOyme OF Mulers time on the night of the
murder, and the circumstances under which he
became possessed of the watch and chain aud hat,
30 as 10 appear consistent with his innocence, but
1t old not contain any statement suggesting the
guilt Of any party. AS a confession was after
wards made by the prisoner, the sheritfs sealed
that its publication would not answer any useful
purpose, but in matter Of so much importance
they wished to avail themselves OF the advice OF
their brother magistrates. The Lord Mayor
said that in reference to this subject an applica-
ton bad been made to him by DR.. Cappel, the
German clergyman who had been in attendance
upon the prisoner down 10 the time of his exc.
Cntiou, asking that any documents left by Muller
might be handed over to him. After some dis
cuss,on the Lord Mayors motion was agreedIo.
