u RnrrInrx nt Springfield.


The house of NJ. p. Davis, jeweler at
Springfield, Ohio, was entered by burglars
just before daylight on last Friday morn
ing, through back window. A sister-in-
law of Mr.. Davis was sleeping in the apart
ment entered by the robbers, and her first
knowledge of their presence was derived
from waking up and finding their hands
upon her throat. She was severely chOked,
but managed to utter a scream, and Mr..
Davis being reused, came to the rescue, too
late, however, to arrest the robbers, who
made hasty escape through the adjoining
room. 1t was found that they had raised
the window, in spite of its being nailed
down, by standing on a saw-buck and pry-
ing the sash. The mark left by the nail in
the side of the window as it was being rails
ed, was plainly apparent. The thieves had
taken the lady's dress, removed pocket
book from it, and hung it against the win
dow to prevent, it is presumed, the cold air
from awakening the sleeper while they ex-
plored the house. She probably showed
signs of wakefulness which interrupted
their proceedings and led to the stranglng
expedient which was adopted. The bur-
glars carried off the pocket-book, contain
ing about So, but left behind the lady's
shoes, new pair, which they dropped in
their flight just outside the door.

BurRIarfes.

We heard yesterday of some five or six
burglaries committed, or attempted to be
committed, on Sunday night in different
parts of the city. In no case was much
booty obtained; but these raids show that
there are scamps among us who need watch
ing. Three stores were broken into on
High street, and grocery on Cleveland ay-
enue. From the last, bacon and other pro-
visions were purloined. SOME of these
nightly prowlers on Saturday night en-
tered the kitchen Of a dwelling on WASH
ington avenue, while ,the family were
asleepin the house, kindled fire In the
stove, and got themselves warm supper,
with hot coffee and other things, and, after
feasting, departed, carrying off a quantity
of provisions laid up for family use. We
understand that two negro boys were ar
rested yesterday who broke into store on
Sunday night and stole some small change
which was identified. '1' g ''' 4,

wbat is Enough For.

A Republican exchange affects to find
satisfaction in its allegation, that "fortu-
nately for the country, the numberofDem-
ocratic members of Congress is small, there
hardly being enough of them to constitute
a minority" There does, however, appear
to be enough of them, with the aid of few
Conservative Republican members and
Senators, to enable President JOHNSON to
prevent the Rad Gals from forcing upon the
country their Revolutionary schemes. In
this circumstance patriots behold cause for
sincere satisfaction.

The Court Of Common Pleas for Williams

one for that county, and brisk term was
anticipated. But some attorneys who had
been engaged to defend in criminal cases,
submitted motion that all the indictments
found by the Grand Jury at the previous
term be quashed, and the Grand Jury for
the (then) present term be discharged, on
the ground that both Grand Juries had been
Illegally impanneled. Judge Latty grant,

Onera HOmae.

There was Jmuch larger audience at the Opera
House last evening than We expected to find on so
inclement night. But so great was the attraction
Of the distinguished actress Hnd equestrenne, Miss
Kate Fisher, that her opening night was honored by
a large house. We hardly need say that her rendi-
ton of Mazepps and her equestrian feats with Min
nehaha, representing the wild horse Of Tartary'
ELECTED admiration and applause. This is pretty
certain to be the case whom she appears in that or
similar character.
Mr.. R. Z. Johnston, the well known popular ac-
tor appeared last night inthe Play of Mazepps, as
the representative of Abdel Kuhn whom he por-
trayed with his accustomed energy and skill. The
other characters generally in competent hands.

The Inconsistency Of the Radicals.
A man who at the outset of the war had
the temerity to say that the Southern peo-
pie could not be disaImed of their hostility
to the Federal Government by the exercise
ofthe military power alone, stood in very
considerable danger of being strung up to
a lamp post or of being shot down in his
tracks. The war has been over for nearly
a year; with surprising docility, the South
ern people have accepted the issue of the
war; secession is dead beyond the power Of
resurrection, and that which now engrosses
the consideration of the Southern people
chiefly, is as to how they shall better their
material condition. DisafFection towards
the Union or the Federal Government does
not exist, save in rare exceptional cases.
To the patriot, the temper Of the Southern
people is most admirable, when the goadings
they have been subjected to since the con-
vening OF Congress by the dominant party
of the North, is taken into consideration.
Yet in the face OF this, IL man shall say
that the Southern people have had their an
imosity toward the Federal Government
and the Union disarmed by military force,
many Of the same men who four years ago
would have strung him up to a lamp post
or shot him down in his tracks for seriously
declaring that they could not be thus dis
armed of that animosity, would now hang
him up or shoot him down for his present
declaration. AT any rate, they denounce
President JOHNSON as a traitor to his par
ty, and speak contemptuously of him as "a
drunken tailor" because he has the honesty
to conduct his Administration conformably
20 the fact that the military power has done
its work so completely and fully that the
Union can be rendered enduring through
the exercise Of broad and enlightened
craftsmanship,

Of the next Congress for the purpose referred
to above And by nearly the whole Union
party. as represented here, it is believed that
its object is to break up the Union organiza-
ton and form a new party which shall en-
brace northern Democrats, southern rebels
and such portions Of the Union party as may
be detached from the old organization. It
seems to be overlooked that the Convention
is called simply for consolation, that It IS not
proposed to make nominations for any Office,
to organize any new party or 10 interfere in
any with the existing political parties. Any
one or oil of these things may be done by
the Convention, but none of them are en-
braced OF proposed in the call for it. Those
who may do them in Convention, or support
them when done, viii, of course, be respon-
sible for their action If the Convention
should take steps hostile to the Union party,
no one could longer adhere to both If it
should make hostile nominations, or adopt a
hostile platform, no one could support both.
But until something of that sort is actually
done, it is not easy to see why any man of
any party may not 90 into consultation with
his fellow citizens from every party and
from every section, without forfeiting mis-
party relations. The idea that members of
Congress- have any right in caucus or else
where, to issue DEGREES of expulsion or ex-
clusion in such a case, Is simply absurd.
