In our local column appears brief
notice Of a recent instance of shop life.
ing in ouritown. This is but feeble
! specimen Of the thieving and dishonesty
, that are really prevailing to serious
extent at least in some portions Of the
District. Scarcely day passes that we
do not receive representations to this ef.
feet Within recent period we have
heard Of two smoke houses in the imme.
date vicinity being forcibly and auda.
ciously entered and quantities of meat
abstracted. Provisions are pilfered.
Hogs are popular subject-and are
constantly either kidnapped or impu
IDENTITY shot in open day. And horses
are stolen with frequency and bold
ness that almost justifes suspicion OF
an organized system of depreciation.
Our people cannot exercise too much
vigilance or too close supervision of
their PROPERTY. 1t is impossible to
avoid the deduction that muchS of this
results from the nature of the contracts
which some of our planters have made
with these freedmen. The great ma,
.jority of the latter in contracting to find
themselves have stipulated to do more
than they can possibly do with honesty.
They have neither the money nor in
consequence Of the stupidity and infat
nation that possessed them last summer
Che provisions for this purpose. The in.
evitable tendency and we believe the
effect already is the burglary and pillag.
ing and vagrancy of which we complains.
We areaware that many of these con.
tracts were necessitated by the exigen.
cies Of the farmers; but many of tue
evils of the system would be obviated
if in all possible cases they would now
undertake to advance the necessary
provisions to be charged on the books
and deducted from the wages OF the
freedmen so furnished. 1t would secure
much OF .he time were necessarily ex.
pended in the procurement Of supplies,
and would save many a neighbors, hogs
and cribs.

The Subjects Of Irish Complaint

John Mitchell has Published the fol,
lowing as the wrongs Of which Ireland
complains:
That Ireland is not goSerue1 by the
same laws as England. ~
That in England it. is loyal and usual
to appoint delegates TO meet in some ap.
pointed place. and consult, about their
affairs F; but in Ireland this is a penal Of.
fence. = e
That, in England it is legal to pos
.sess arms, and to practice the use of
them /; but in Ireland tits transporta.
bic crime. ~ S'.
That Englishmen. may form volun.
teer companies for national defence );
but that Irshmen may not.
That in England there is no such codc
Of laws known as '''crime and outrage
Acts" peace preservation Act" and
the like, which in Ireland place all
mems liberties and the sanctity of their
homes at the mercy Of the Viceroy and
his police.
That, in England "trial by jury"
means trial before twelve of theneigh.
bors impartially empanneled I; but in
Ireland, it means trial before twelve
sue men, skilfully packedsby the Gov.
ernment.
On any inquiry into tho causes Of
Irish discomfort, such matters as these
would become nconvenienlly notorious !;
besides the fact That the poorest country
in Europe. sus,ains the richest .clmrcl.
Comparatively on the same continent,
whose administrations, however, arc alb.
horred by the people, and whose pas.
tors are regarded by them as ravening
wolves.
Inquiry, indeed The English know
all these things already and the rest Of
mankind have got nothing to do withit.
So no wonder the Parliament voted
against the O'Donogne's motion, and
hurried through law to gag, to chain,
to choke, somehow or anyhow, to sup,
press the wretches who pretend to be
discontented with the happy condition
of Ireland.

AS AMUSING SCESE.-r-Quite an amusing
scene recently occurred under the pavilion
Of Dan Castello's Circus OF Wilmington,
which was not previously announced in tho
bills. The Dispatch says:
Dnring the display made by Castello Of
his wonderful mule, aud when little boys
were called from the audience into the ring
I" make the always vain, attempt 10
ride hirs, q big hurley sailor, somewhat
heavy, entered the ring, d advanced to
the animal for the purpose of. beytriding
him. To this the mule objected, and con-
firmed his objection by "donble loaded"
kick from both of his iron. .shod feet into
the pit of the mans stomach. To the as
tonishncnt Of every one, the man returned
the salute Of the mule, by delivering several
kicks in feiurn, and repeated the attemptio
his feet npon the mans waistcoat. And
now cnsued q fight between CASTILLO, tho
sailor and the mule; CASTILLO, who was
highly incensed ut tito conduct Of the man
endeayored to hold the mule 30 as to have
the man taken from the ring: and the man
stuck to the mule in q steady and persistent
foot fight. Which of the two latter would
have conquered Is unknown. as the trial was
soon brought to sudden termination by
tho summary ejcctment Tin very indffer-
ent manner) OF the sailor from the ring.
THIS. we think, is the greatest fight on.re-
cord, andwa certainly onesof the most in-
teresilng that We have ever seen. Castello
should certainly engage that man to exhibit
with him everywhere as the man that can
outkick mule. Strange to say, neither
animalswas % all injured by, the encounter.

Di.uuionisis ut Heart"

We are glad to observe that some OF
the members of the Republican party
are at last getting their eyes open to the
designs of their leaders, ard are for
saking the men whom they have biirdly
followed during the past few years For
instance: the New York Tines, one of
the ahIesf and best conducted journals
of the Republican party says: The re-
iatiUnship of the iactionists to the PreSl'
dent is getting to be 80 well defined that
their aim To see him driven out Of the
ranks of the great Union party will most
assnredly end in their being dricen openly
tnto the ranks of d;saai0R. WHERE THEY
HAVE ALWAYS AT HEART BELONGED
Exactly That is lust what the DEM
ocratic party ha- known all along and
has all along centeuded. SUMNER and
STEVENS and PHILLiP5 aud the whole
radical crew have boon disunionists for
years Before the war their motto
now, after the fOrcible abolition of sla
very and after involving the nation ii
untold misery, their motto is still NJ
Union with Southern men They are
determined to rule the nation for them
selves andihe negro, or failing in that
to involve the whole in ruin.
As the smoke and dust of the late con
Aict gradually clears away and The pas
sions it engondered gradually lose their
sharpness, men are beginning to see
more distinctly the position Of those
around them aud under whose leader.
ship they have been acting heretofore
aud instances are not rare IN our own
city and State of men finding ont who
the real disuuipnists are aud torsaking

The Registration Bill

The Registration act will come before
the House Of Delegates on its passage to-
day, and will doubtless meet with some
opposition, aud provoke some discus
sion. 1t has bseu amended In several
particulars since its introduction, but is
still as essentially Unconstitutional and
odious as before. The clause giving to
each Registrar authority 10 reject the
name of any person whom he might sup
pose to be disloyal, notwithstanding
such person had taken all the oaths and
complied with oil the provisions of the
law, is changed, and now the Registrar
is compelled to record the name eff every
voter who applies TO him aud takes the
requisite oaths But still this feature OF
the act is not much improved, because
the County Board of Registration is au-
thorized to carefully examine the lists
returned to them by the Registrars aud
strike therefrom the name Of any person
whom they may deem disloyai Another
amendment DISTINGUISHES all persons
who left the State ID order to avoid mill
tary duty. EFt' Il
The bill Is also changed 50 as to re-
qnire the appointment by the Governor of
Boards of Registration who shall reside
in the counties for which they are APP
pointed. We understand that it is also
amended so as to 60 into operation in
time to apply to the election Tor town.

printed, bat We are informed that the
only changes made in the,origiusI bill
are those we have noted.

The Relief OF Governor Pierpoint.
The passage by the House of Delegates


Yesterday of the bill appropriating one
hundred and twenty niue dollars and
seventy cents for the relief Of Governor
P1ERPo1NT, of Virginia, from payment OF
the costs of the suit prosecuted against
him by Judge THOMPSON, was one of the
most singular freaks of that singular
body. From the fact that the vote was
unanimous, we infer that the bill wa:
passed without discussion or investiga
ton, for certainly there are some mem
bert of the House who would not have
voted for it had they understood the his
tory of the case. Without repeating
that history here, it is only necessary to
point to the fact that PIER7oINT's con-
senting to the payment of costs proVi'
ded the suit was withdrawn, amounted
to confession by him that his proceed
ings against Judge THOMPSON were
wrong and without authority OF law
Had he believed that the courts would
sustain him, of course he would
not have been so anxious FOL
the withdrawal of the suit as to a:
sumo the payment of the costs. Then
what obligation isWest Virginia undeI
to pay for Governor PIERPoINT's mis-
takesl By what right does he demand
that the citizens of West Virginia shall
pay in taxes for the official bluuder:
committed by him? PiERPOINT never
was the Governor of West Virginia; hs
assumeds to be Governor of Virginia
presiding as such to-day. Then why
should Hest Virginia alone be compelled
10 pay for IN act done by him when this
state was an integral part of the Old
Dominion?
Ii Is very small matter at best, 80 lar
as the amount appropriated is concerned,
but the amount is not so small that it
ought to be donated 10 4 man who has
no inst claim upon the State, especially
whcu Il il given to him to relieve him
from the consequences of his violation
Of law. West Virginia would better
aay her own citizens the amount of the
legal judgments they hold against her
before paying for wrongs done by The
Governor of another State.
