A Burglar CaughtIn the Act.

John Cassidy, brother of the notorious
Jim Cassidy, entered the shoe store of Ma
than Davis, No. 15S North High street, at
about twelve o'clock on Friday night. He
effected an entrance by breaking a large
glass in the front window, and thus making
an aperture large enough to admit his body,
Luckily, police Officer Huffman was near
enough to witness Cassidy's performance,
and waited for him to come out.
Shortly he was seen to emerge from the
store with his arms full of boots and shoes.
The officer nabbed him forthwith. But
Cassidy made fight, and got away from the
officer. Huffman fired at him with his re-
volver, and gave chase. A gentleman pass
ing at the time, hearing the report of the
pistol, and seeing the thief running and the
officer pursuing, also fired at the runaway.
Officer Huffman coming up, the two secured
Cassidy and took him to the lookup. He
had treated his legs and feet while in the
store to o pair Of new boots, which Of course
he had to take off when he entered the cal
aboose.
Cassidy will have an examination before
the Mayor at eight o'clock this morning.
We understand he relies upon being able

Not the Issue.

The SrEvENsITEs, the SUMNE RITES and
the PHILLIPsIrEs assert, with unblushing
effrontery, that the issue presented by the
President, is whether the traitors Of the
South, whose hands are red with the blood
ofour murdered fathers, brothers an sons,
shall be admitted into the councils of the
Federal Government for the purpose Of
ruling us. Such is not the issue, nor any
thing like it. The issue is, whether this
Government shall be RevOlutIonized and
disarmed by disregard and destruction
of the safeguards thrown around the liber-
ties Of the people in the Constitution."-
That's the issue, narrowed down to COM
prehensible point. If the people want to
throw away their safeguards of liberty as
secured to them in the Constitution, all
they have got to do is to follow the lead of
STEVENS, SUMNER and PHILLIPS. III pre-
scription will be found to be infallib.

our fellow citizen, fellow member of the

RESOLVED, That as lawyer the deceased
secured merited prominence at the Bar of
Ohio by talents, attainments and skill pc
culiarly adapted to the profession, and won

nitied lawyer.
Resolved, That as Judge he magnified
his calling and adorned the Bench by an

A Runaway.

Rather a serious runaway occurred on
High street, between Broad and Long
streets on Saturday afternoon. A gentle
man by the name of Hess was riding along
in buggy, when his horse became sudden
ly frightened and reared, kicked and
plunged in most obstreperous style. The
gentleman's efforts to restrain the furious
animal were frnitless. The buggy was
overturned and fell upon the rider, who
was dragged considerable distance, but
though severely bruised, was not seriously
injured. The buggy was made almost a
complete wreck.

Franklin Democratic Association.

The regular weekly meeting of this As
ssciation takes place tomorrow (ruesday)
evening, at No. 227 South High street (up
stairs). The discussion of the "Monroe
Doctrine" having been laid aside for the
present, a new subject, we understand, will
be broached tomorrow evening. 1t is that
of the nature of our National Union. r,
Hutcheson, Esq, will, we learn, lead off in
the discussion tomorrow evening, when
any other member, or Democrat present,
will be at liberty to express his views. AS
there cannot be found, in the whole range
of politics, topic SO interesting as this,
and one on whichlight is more needed at the
present time, we hope there will be large
meeting at the rooms of the Association
tomorrow night.

COrOner,s Inquest.

A Coroner's Inquest was held yesterday
on the body OF male child found on va
cant lot on Third street, between Long and
Spring streets. Several persons were ex-
amined as witnesses without eliciting any
light on the subject. The jury came to the
conclusion that it was case of abortion
the mother being to them unknown.
There was large pitcher found near the
body of the child, which the owner can
have by calling on Coroner Gaver at No.
243 South High street.

speech by Thnddews eteveu..

Saturday was speech-making day in the
lower House Of Congress, a thing they have
been pretty generally engaged in since the
commencement of the session, and Hon.
THADDEUs STEVENS took occasion to deliv-
er speech. A good portion Of the speech
was devoted to disparagement and rldi-
cule of the President. Finding it impossi-
BILE to bully the President into following
his leadership, he now proposes to ascertain
what effect sneers and ridicule viii have
upon the President. AS the President has
given the country notice that he shall take
no step backward in his restoration policy,
this mode Of warfare upon him will un-
doubtedly prove abortive. i $1,000

PrUsidlena johnson An the HGrPub-
IIcan Convention OF PemnsyI.

nwnnin. e. 1a vrof srn.-sts
The Republican State Convention of
Pennsylvania could not be induced to de-
clare that they reposed ''fall confidence
in the liability, integrity and patriotism of
President JOHNSON. Mr.. CARNAHAN, the
United States District attorney of Alle-
gheny county, offered the following for
adoption; ..tsl
ai"Thatrelying on the well-tried loyalty
and devotion Of Andrew johnson to the
cause of the Union in the dark days of
treason and rebellion, and remembering
his patriotic conduct, services, and suffer-
ings, which In times past endeared his
name TO the Union party and now repOs-
ing full confidence in his ability, integrity
and patriotism, we express the hope and
confidence that the policy of his admins
tratiOn will be so shaped and conducted as
20 save the nation from the perils which
still surround it." f-t
Hon.J. AUDLEY BROWNE moved to strike
out the words sand now reposing full con-
hdence In his ability, integrity and patriot
ism." Hon. Mr.. LAWRENCE appealed TO
Mr., CARNAHAN to withdraw his resolution,
which Mr., CARNAHAN declined to do Mr..
DTcKEY grew indignant. He declared that
the committee on Resolutions had gone as
far as they could go, and that If United
States officer came there aud asked that
body to go farther, he could be aecommoda-
ted to his hearts content.
Mr.. McCLURE supposed that Mr.. CARNA-
HAN had reached Harrisburg two days too
late to offer his resolution, as the Demo-
critic Convention had adjourned. In that |
Convention, it would have been passed |
wi h yell and would have been in
aorsed by every Rebel in the land. After
considerable exciting discussion Mr.. CAR
NAHAN Withdrew his resolution, in doing |
which he said that he had not intended to |
commit the Convention to the support of
the policy of President JOHNSON; but |
merely to say that he ,Oas neither tool nor
traitor"
Matters have certainly come to pretty |
pass when Republican State Convention
can not be induced to declare that, in their
opinion, President JOHNSON is neither
fool nor traitor" Last fall all over the
country, they declared that they, and they
alone, were the special friends of Presi-
dent JOHNSON, and yet President JOHN
SON stands to-day politically where he
stood last fall. 1t was necessary to their
success then to assert an abiding faith in
his liability, integrity and patriotism"
VIII their open reputation of him and
their implied declaration that he has no
" ability no "integrity" and no "patriot-
ism" win them success in the approaching
fall election?

No Sten nRncI.wnrh.

President JOHNSON, in response to the
Kentucky Delegation, on the 9Th inst said
he should take no step backward in his
policy. The clamorS of the Radicals, and
the reputation of his policy by the Re
publican members of Legislatures and by
the Republican Convention Of Pennsylva-
MIA do not appear to have any other influ-
ence on him, than to make him more de-
termined and unfaltering.

The Way the Issue ShOaId be Pre-
g - senreG.

Democrats this Spring, in their City and
Township Conventions, should present the
issue to the people in some such form as
this:
ResolUed, That we indorse President
johnson in his veto, in his understood OPP
position 10 negro suffrage; in his opposi-
tiOn to patching the Constitution, and in
his assertion of the rights of the Southern
States to their representation.
II these points can be put into a resolu-
tion Of more brevity, SO much the better.
1t would be a good idea to print che reso-
luton atthe head Of the tickets. No bet
ter way than this can be devised to take
the sense Of the people on the issue be-
tween the President and the STEVENS,
SUMNER and PHILLIPs Disunionists.

When the people responded with patri-
otic zeal to the call of the Federal Govern

belllOn, did they respond with the UNDER
standing that the representative form OF

New England consolidatlonists could rule

hardships, 70 the end that the white people

The CATTLE DISEASE IN New YoRK.--Hon.
j. Stanton Gould, President, and Colonel P.
B. johnson, Secretary, OF the New York State
Agricultural Society, have prepared a most
important circular, from which the following
extract is taken:
" We do hereby make known the existence
Of the rinderpest or pleura pnnemonia among
the cows in the stables of New York and
BROOKLYN. and earnestly vise all purchasers
of stock TO examine those which are offered
for sale, with reference to this disease. We
also advise, that in case the disease makes its
appearance in any herd, the sick animal be
Immediately and rigidly excluded from the
rest. The period of incubation Of this disease
varies from forty-two to sixty days"
1t is we'll asccrtained that this disease is
strictly infectious. 1t never occurs when the
animal has not come into contact with the
diseased animal. The meat of animals suffer
ing from pleuro- pneumonia is dangerous when
used rs human food. 1t is very probable that
the diseased herds which are now being ex-
cluded from the city, will be offered for sale
at very low prices TO farmers This contin-
gency calls for additional precautions on the
part of purchasers.
