CRIME AT THE NORTH. -
In every Northern paper We have seen,
since the war closed 1--WE do not remember
an exception-we find recorded crime of al
most every character. 1t is.not confined as
would be supposed, to the ssreturned sol.
der" whose feelings are supposed to be.
hardened by familiarity with scenes of
blood and carnage, but in the highest;and
humblest wallis of private life, the grim
record stares us in the face. 1t would oc-
eupy too much space, for us to enumerate
those now before us, and We have not space
or inclination to publish themiu full. The
greatest swindle is that of young KEroHUM,
of the firm of MORRIS, KETcHUM, Son &
Co., of New York, who has forged gold
certificates, and other securities to the
amount Of 81, 900, 600. He has been ar:
rested, takes matters coolly, and doubtless
feels himself quite q noted character-the
papers think so, for his movements occupy
much of theirspace. - s-s =
Again, we have in humber life, tragic
account of the murder of mother and
sister BY. the SON and brother, with view
of obtaining few paltry dollars, to enable
him to marry young woman to whom he
was engaged,
Then we have besides many other brutal
murders, the more fashionable lists of 'tdis.
asters, !" arailroad accidents" "afrays,"s So,
which seems to overflow the coveted cup Of
criminal gossip. This listdoes not include
the garroters, the burglars,and the reckless
rufians that infest the neighborhood oflarge
cities, yet how is this great increase of
crime to. be accounted for /? In New York,
Fa.one, 10000 arrests were made inthres
months, and it Is said to arise from the vast
foreign population brought to the assistance
of the Federal army, and now being dis
banded. On this subject the Ne,o FORK
Tunes says :55s= s,. 1as
Toward the close of the war the Chief
incentive to enlistment was money, aud the
enormous bounties paid attracted the mer.
cenary spirits Of the world to the Federal
standard. A new branch Sof yillainy was
created by this circumstance, and bounty
brokerage and bounty jumping became a
profession that was pursued With consum-
mate tact and great success. Those men
now find their occupation gone. When
their trade was lively they made great
tgains, and became infatuated to aoostly
and luxurious existence. Such fellows will
keep up their routine of life at all hazards,
Honest labor, Of course, is out of the ques'
ton; and finding the fountain Of theil
4 profits suddenly sealed, they do not soruple
: to enter other channels of professional
knavery. a2arf 1-If'' - - =. -. -

pany in our columns. Daniel S. Dick
inson is the President and he is asso
ciated with gentlemen of experience in
the business a careful study Of the
prospectus will reveal the advantages
of the investment The discovery of
petroleum is so recent, and the neees-
sary demand so large and increasing,
that this company may be said 70 pro-
ceed upon q permanent basis. Their
prospectus speaks frankly and fairly,
and the name of Mr. Dickinson, who
has here, we believe, for the FIRST time,
associated his name with any corporate
enterprise, should satisfy the inquirer
that it is not mere speculation. all
the funds paid in form the working
capital of the Company, and no one
connected with it is interested in selling
the Companys land or property at
fictitious value or at any profit. Stock
holders sre mutually interested in all
the profits of the Company. Several Of
the Trustees are located in the oil re-
gion, and have acquired their wealth
and experience in the business, and
have 3 personal supervision over the
Companys affairs, and it is expected
that large quarterly dividends will be
regularly paid from the first of January.

SATURDAY, MARCH II. 1865.
Renort Of the seeretarf or var.

Secretary Stanton sent in, March 3,
his report, dated the lst OF March, sta
ting that it has been DELAYED, until
General Grant should send in his report
of military operations. But this has
not been received, as the activity of the
campaign In progress demands his un-
ceasing attention.
The military events of the past year,
the Secretary says, have been officially
published as they trsnspired, and are
as fully known in every branch of this
Government As throughout the civilized
world. They constitute a series of suc-
eessful marches, sieges, and battles at
testing the endurance and courage Of
the soldiers of the United States, and
the gallantry and militaryskill of their
commanders.
This report gives summary of the
operations and estimates of the heads
OF the several bureaus of the War De-
partment, in which, among other things,
It is stated that despite the superior
advantages for recruiting volunteers,
greater success has been reached in re-
cruiting men in the regular service
than has been anticipated.
The results of the volunteer and re-
cruiting service under the different
calls for troops, dated February /,
March IA, and July Is, 1864, are given.
In reference to the e-enlistment of
veteran volunteers during the autumn
of 1868, the Provost Marshal General
saws over one hundred and thiFty-six
who would otherwise ere this have
been discharged were secured for three
years longer, Organizations which
would have been lost to the service
were preserved and recruited, and o.
pable and experienced officers retained
in command The business of arrest
ing deserters and stragglers is progress
ing actively. 1892 have been arrested
between October l, 1868, and October
l, 1864. The total number arrested
from the establishment of the bureau
