The QUESTION OF WAITS AND STRAYS.-The To-
lice Commissioners have issued curious de-
cree with regard to the right of property in
articles picked up in the streets. It appears
that lady picked up some article of property
which q policeman, observing, very rhdely
attempted to take from her. She claimed her
right to 1t, as there was no legal owner forth
coming, but the policeman took the article of
to the station house. This incident furnished
an opportunity for sagacious decision on the
part Of the Commissioners to the effect that
waits and strays, picked up on the street, or In
stages, cars, or ferryboats, are the property or
the Commissioners, and must be delivered up to
them. Conscientious people were generally In
the habit when they found anything on . ferry
boat or in 8 car or stage Of giving it mp to the
officials Of these institutions, where the owner
woaid be likely to apply for 1t. People with
out consciences of course had the habit Of put
ting the same in their pocket; but now
il appears that pocketbcok, or parasoi,
or handkerchief or cane, found without an
owner must be delivered to the property man
at police headquarters, and, If not claimed, will
be sold for the benefit Of what we really do not
know, except it be for the benefit Of the Police
Commissioners. There was an old proverb
that "Hnders should be keepers" where no
rightful owner appeared. Henceforth the Po-
lice. Commissioners are to be keepers; and il
there are great many honest people in the
community the property man will have plenty
Of work to do, to say nothing of tho handsome
thing the Commissioners or the police fund will
realize. All lost children are sent to the Com.
missioners. Why not the pocketbooks and
watches?

MEUOO-"MAsTERLY INACrIvrrY."-Presiden
johnson is just now absorbed in the great work
of. the reorganization of the late rebellious
States OF the South, on the platform Of the
abolition Of slavery and loyalty to the Union.
He knows that he can settle the Mexican ques-
ton at any time; but he knows. too, that the
elephant Is getting so troublesome and costly
to Louis Napoleon that "masterly inactivity"
ON our part will probably serve the Monroe
doctrine as efectually and as quickly as any
other policy. The debate in tho French Cham-
Der which we published yesterday very plainly
signifies that Louis Napoleon must very soon
abandon Mexico, unless he can get recognition
of Macmillan from President johnson. That
recognition Napoleon will not obtain. Presi-
dent johnson and the people of the United
States, who stand at his back, are bound and
resolved to give no countenance in any way to
this European monarchical establishment set
up over Mexico. But as the question between
the European usurpation and the Canning
Monroe doctrine is working very satisfactorily
at present. we dare say that President johnson
will adhere to the policy Of mastery inac-
tivity" yet little longer, in order to give to
Napoleon . fair opportunity TO make virtue Of
necessity, and gracefully retire with bis prot<gt
from hostile country, the holding of which
by France has depended from the beginning
upon the success of JEFF. Davis and his so-called
Southern confederacy.

A LITTLE Too FAsr.-C. H. Wynne, the
proprietor Of the Richmond Times, who has
been lately threatening what the State Of vir-
ginia will do or will not permit to be done In
the work Of reconstruction, just as II she were
meditating upon another rebellion for State
rights, has been suddenly admonished that he
is driving his new wagon q little too fast for the
public safety. He says, in bis issue of the 22d
instant that "having been sent fer and notified
by tho proper military authority that our edito-
rails for the past month, and more especially
for the last few days, are only calculated TO
excite anger and bitterness, and that unless the
tone and policy Of the Times are changed 1t
will be suppressed" the proprietor asks tho
kind indulgence Of his readers "for the absence
ofmatter pertaining to national and State public
policy" The particular mistake of this Southern
rights editor has been, we, suspect, rather too
violent agitation from Southern point ofview OF
negro suffrage as an outrage which Old Vir-
pinia, with "her honor untarnished and her
spirit unbroken," never will permit within her
borders. This is cutting it rather fat; and the
silly editor, thus thrusting himself, in the midst
Of the ruins of the rebel capital into this negro
suffrage agitation, we presume will now under
stand that his instructions and threats upon
this subject are not wanted, and that the bust
ness of providing q republican form Of govern
ment for the State of Virginia has, from the
failure of Jeff Davis, devolved upon President
| Johnson.

was a crowd of not less than fifteen hun

was the most intelligent assemblage of
people seen here for years. There were
about one hundred and forty Masons

Altogether the celebration was very

bar One day recently man named
Luther Dunn was working in the field in
st. Francis county. Arkansas, when a
neighbor named David Wilds came and
called on him to halt, and before he could
make any response shot him dead. Thirty
of the neighbors met at once, and going
to Wild's house, they seized him. They
then asked him if he wanted to pray. He
said that he did, and kneeled down. In
a few minutes they fred simultaneously,
and Wild's body was blown to pieces.
