SAFE ROBBERs.-Last Friday night the wood
and coal Office of Mr.. W. II. NARROW, on eth
street, south OF the canal, was entered by
thieves, who cut panel out of a safe, using a
cold chisel in the operation. After making an
examination and finding no money in the safe
they exhibited their malice by smashing 8

going 70 the stable and turning Mr.. Marlow's
horses loose. The thieves took nothing and
have escaped detection.

PETITION OF COLORED PEOPLE OF THE
DIsTGICT.-The petition presented by MIR. Will
son in the Senate from Francis Cook and $500
other colored Inhabitants Of Washington, ask
ing for the right of suffrage, sets forth that q
large proportion OF them are property holders
and tax payers. They claim that as they are
sufficiently intelligent 10 build and sustain
churches and institutions of learning and TO
accumulate property, they are also sufficiently
intelligent TO vote; that for years they have
been Obliged not only to educate their own
children, but 10 contribute to the support ofthe
schools in which only white children were
taught; that the record of the colored people as
TO crime and pauperism is as far as any other
class in the country. Out of population OF
less than IS 600 they sent 500 soldiers into the
field, while the white population (oyer 6,0O0)
furnished only 1,5OO, and colored soldiers VOL
unteered without the incentives OF large boun-
tes, pay, or promotion.

the mare from Gibson as mare stolen from a

was bought by Gibson from Oliver was the
mare Oliver bought AZ the bazaar, but she is a
bay or brown mare. and the clerks al the b.
zaar testify that she is not the animal bought

hold the prisoner TO await a requisition; and in
order 10 consider the testimony, he ordered
