morn Thienan About.

Yesterday about 10 o'clock A. M, two
persons made their appearance at the resi-
dehce Of Mr.. Walkup, Oh Fourth street,
and stated that he had employed them to
remove the rubbish from about the house
and clean out the rooms, etc. Mr.. Walkup
was remodeling: his chimneys, windows
doors, etc, and the mechanic who had the
repairing in charge informed them that Mr..
Walkup had already hired man for that
purpose. They appeared indignant and
insisted on going up stairs to see what was
to bedone. The gentleman in charge think
ing that all was right, passed them up.
Mr.. Walkup had tore up his carpets, and
bis goods were piled up prOmiscuously 10
the rooms. No. sooner had they been adj
mitted than they. looked around to see
what they could appropriate. A valuable
pair of gold bracelets belonging to his daugh-
ter, which wasileft onsa bureau in the room,
first caught their eye and was approptiat-
ed. How much more or what articles they
secured, If any, Mr.. Walkup was unable to
tell, owing to the confusion in which his
property was placed at the time. .'v da
The bracelets were soon missed, and the
two toorkmen who, had never seen MIR.
! Walkup, were suspected of being the
thieves. The police were put upon the
ralertand MriWallup repaired to his BUSH
ness on High street. He had not been there
long until Mr.. Leonard informed him that
a man, onthe street near his doorqwas en-
Ideayoring to sell a gold bracelet. Mr.,
walkup forthwith went to the salesman,
asked him for sight Of the article, stating
that he wished to purchase one and wonld
pay an advance could he procure 1t. The
thief exhibited the bracelet, when Mr..
Walkuppocketedit it, at the same time seizing
the two scoundrels, kept them in custody
until Officer McEwen came and took them
to the calaboose. They had disposed of one
of the bracelets at saloon on Broadway,
which was recovered subsequently. Ir
They will have an examination before
the Mayor this morning. D-'"'

l.rhe RndIcaI Rlot In New OrIeans.

Armed and excited by the Radical ennis
saries of disorder in New Orleans, num-
Der of misguided negroes in that city yes
terday brought on bloody collision with
the people and the police. Those who,
with the Tribune, treat the Radical plots
and preparations for renewed civil war at
the North as 'Chinese thunder" Will hnd
it difficult, we fancy, to salve their consci-
ences with such phrases In the presence OF
the sanguinary and shocking scenes Of
which the chief city Of the South has now,
I by the Vaccinations, of their fellow,cOn-
spirators, been made the theater. That the
law will triumph in New Orleans over this
attempt at inaugurating new st. Do
mingo, we do not doubt for moment. But
we should be false TO- our duty II we hesi-
tated to enforce the appeal which Is made
by this lamentable occurrence to the con-
science and the common sense Of the Amer
lean people against the mad and selfish
policy of the Radical majority in Congress,
and of the Radical agitators through
out the North and West. These men
have but one theory of political action.
To blow upon the dying embers OF Sec
tional strife; to inflame all the passions
(which craftsmanship and Christianity alike
summoHIus to soothe and to subdue; and
to do these evil things, reckless Of all the
ruin which the doing them must entail up
ON the nation, has been their persistent eff
fort during every week and day and hour
of the Congressional session just closed.
For this they have neglected the great tis-
cal reforms which concern the daily bread,
the home comforts, the personal independ-
ence of the working millions of America;
for this they have neglected also the great
questions Of our foreign policy, in which
the honor of the American name and the
place of the Union among the great pow
ers of the earth are profoundly involved.
From New Orleans, to-day, we receive, in
blood and fire, the first red reaping of the
harvest which thee madmen have been
sowing. Are the peop'e as mad as they !;
or, having eyes, viii the peo lie now begin
TO see, and, having hearts, low begin to
understand the ineyitaDIe Issues OF passion
and corruption and fanaticism in the con-
duct of the public affairs OF thirty millions
of Americans emerging from the most des-
perate civil war of which history keeps the
dismal record ?-New York World, July 81.

uu,gbtx A. chambers, circus.

Ever since our boyhood days we have
been in the habit of attending equestrian
performances; but we acknowledge that
we never witnessed such varied, chaste
and excellent performance as that of the
talented artists connected with the Coles
sal Circus and Equescutheatron of Messrs.
Haight and Chambers, now on exhibition
in this city, near Goodale Park. The
Equestrienne Queen of theoWorld, Mile
Marie, electrifies the audience with the
grace and ease with which she
performs ,s her daring feats, aud
Misses Carroll, Rinehart and Bliss can't
be beat by the members of any other compa-
panyy that travels in the United States.
Sam Lathrop-old Sam, the dispenser of
queer, quaint aud comical sayings-is the
same jovial, jolly fellow that he was years
ago, and Ben Maginley added much to the
enjoyme1ts of the spectators.
The canvass is large and the seats well
arranged to hold crowd, but last night
there was a perfect jam-hundreds being
unable to obtain seats. The gentlemanly
proprietor, Mr.. Haight, who gives his per-
sonal attention to business connected with
the exhibitions stands at the entrance and
takes special care that all things are done
in order. He is, withal, a gentleman with
whom it is pleasure to come in contact.
There will be an exhibition this after
noon and evening, and would advise our
friends to go early. See advertisement and

It might be optional with them whether
