Our FINANCIAL CoNDlrIoN.-The National
1ntelligencer says the condition of the money
market shows that much uneasiness is felt in re-
gard to the immediate future of our national pol
tiles. 1t announces that letters are daily received
at Washington from prominent men ipquiring
what is to be the issue of the contest between
Congress and the President These inquiries are
based on the superstition that the Radicals will
carry the November elections, and that the Pres.
ident viii not yield any of his convictions on the
subject In that event, it is believed generally
by the business men and capitalists of the North
that the impeachment will take place, and that
Congress will carry out all the other extreme
views of the Radicals.
The lntelligencer thinks that political adjust
ment would opeu the way for the employment of
capital at the South, and this of itself would
greatly relieve the arrangement in business and
values. The confidence thus given would speedily
bring our national securities up to specie par at
home and abroad. This, we think, is as plain as
anything can be. If the political troubles CON-
tiuue, our fuanc;al condition must become worse
add worse; but as soon as the former are removed
by reconstructon-if it be not deferred too long
the latter will begin to improve

THR rREBELs" CHEER FEDERAL SoLp1ER.-
Alta recent tournament in Tuscumbia, Alabama,
the prize was won by an, x-officer of the Federal
army. The Huntsville Independent thus describes
the manner in which his victory was received !:
The thickest ice must melt. Cheer after cheer
burst forth for the knghtly victor. The judges,
the president, General Forrest, and K of Q said
hurrah for him end took him b.. the hands. The
silver spurs were his-there was not a dissenting
voice. And just here we have the pleasure Of
recording an impromptu act by the of.hand
knight which does credit to the heart. Through
General Forrest he announced to the crowd that
the spurs were offered as present to the as
sociation for the cause of sepuItuse to the Con
federate dead. Well done, son of the North.
You fought for your side IN the wal, we for ours

SINGULAR CASE OF POCKET
PICKING.

The following tatement appears in the N. Y.
Times CT the Sd inst (:
One of the most remarkable cases of pocket
picking that has ever come to the knowledge Of
the Police authorities occurred yesterday after
noon, in Broadway stage. It appears that
about 8 o'clock Mrs Bloomfield H Moore en-
tered Fifth-avenue stage at fourteenth street,
on her way down town. Soon after a CLERICAL
looking gentleman entered the stage and seated
himself close beside Mrs. Moore, although there
was abundant room on the other side of the We
hce. This was not noticed at the time, how
ever, as the stranger was of SO respectable an
appearance.
As the stage proceeded down Broadway, Mrs
Moore noticed lady sitting opposite her max
ing sundry gestures, as though che wished to
attract her attention. Although Mrs. Moore
thought this conduct very singular, she paid
no attention to it, and it was not until the cleri-
cal passenger had hastily left the stage that she
became aware of the motive Of the other lady,
for the latter exclaimed: sMadam, that man
has picked your pocket" One of the male
passengers immediately sprang from the stage
and overlook the fugitive. The latter broke
away and attempted to escape, but was a second
time secured Mrs. Moore then accused him
of having stolen her pocket-book, containing
S2S, when the man produced the property and
gave it back to the owner, imploring her not to
give him in custody of an officer. Quite crowd
bad by this time collected in the vicinity, which
attracted the attention of Roundsman Delama-
ter, who, on reaching the scene arrested the
pick-pocket and escorted him to Police Head
quarters. On reaching the Inspectors Office,
MIR Carpenter was informed Of the eircum-
stances attending the case by both Mrs Moore
aud the officer.
The prisoner stated that he was Rev. Geo. r.
Williams and the Rector of the Episcopal
Church at Suffolk, Va. He claimed that he
had found the pocketbook claimed by Mrs.
Moore on the seat between the lady aud himself
and that he only took possession of the wallet
for the purpose of advertising for an owner.
This ingenious statement caused broad smile
upon the face OF the veteran Inspector, who
quietly Informed the prisoner that he did not
believe word oft On the person of Williams
was found about 500 in greepbacks and a letter
of recommendation from several clereymen in
Richmond. He was committed to Jail The
subsequent evidence showed that he was euihv.

LAwLEssNEss IN EASTERN N. G.

From the Newbe.n Journal of Commerce.
We regret to see the spirit of lawlessness 50
rife 10 North Carolina, as it is at present and
though We may lay ourselves liable to the re-
bearsal of an oft told tale, We will again bring
it prominently before our people. This spirit
must be put down. Murder, arson, highway
robbery and general destruction Of property, are
crimes of blacklist magnitude, of which North
Carolina has long been comparatively guiltless;
and she owes it to her fair fame to prevent the
continued recurrence of such acts of villany.
The perpetrators of these outrages must be
brought to justice. 1t can be done without
military interference; but unless the civil au-
thorities bestir themselves, and the best mea of
every locality render aid, we fear the military
will again be sent among US in numbers.
Crimes such as have been committed among
us for the last twelve months, were almost un-
known before the war; and although We are nov
far behind many of the States, in the catalogue
of crime, We have made such rapid strides in
that direction recently, as to lead the true lover
of the States to mourn over the degeneracy aud
evil of the times.
We do not believe anything other than spirit
of plumber actuates, generally, the parties en-
gagged in the nefarious transactions. The bands
are composed of the worst men of the several
communities in which they are organized
Some of them are doubtless around US daily
They read the articles penDed against them in
the morning papers; they note the money paid
to the man who sells bis produce in market;
they visit the plantations and select the stock
for theft; and then give notice to their brother
robbers Of the information they have gathered,
and lay their plans for the preparation of the
crime determined upon. -4
They are no respecters Of persons. They take
all kinds of fish in their nets. To-day negro
is plundered, to morrow a northern mans farm
is invaded, and his stock driven off; while the
day after the little which Confederate officer,
or soldier, has saved from the wreck is taken
from him.
Justice demands that these villains be pun.
ished, surely, swiftly and severely. They are
doing incalculable mischief-mischief far be-
yond the mere injury which they infict, from
time to time, upon individuals whom they plum
der. The mischief they are working will surely
reach every person in the State. None can feel
safe while they are permitted to nfest the land,
plumber the people, and invade the sanctiry of
meas bones. 1t needs but prompt energetic
move on the part of our people to bring these
men to punishment Will they not make III
