The citizens of Saltillo gaining an inkling
of the matter, set detectives ON their track,
and readily ferreted out their entire system of
plundering. A week ago last Friday, this
gang, headed by one Bowly, who resides
about three miles outside this city on the
Germantown plank road, entered the town of
Saltillo and were Immediately arrested by the
citizens, who, upon consultation, determined
upon Kidding the community OF such rufiians
and in short time thereafter Bowly, with
his six confederaies, were ordered to be shot
This sentence was carried into immediate
execution, and these bad men thus expiated
the folly of their manifold crimes"

TIE HEBDEN MANDAMus CAsE.-The Balti-
more Gazette, of Monday last, says: In the
mdndamus case of VIM. Fl. Hebden, former
Magistrate of the Second ward, who claims to
be reinstated in his late Office and position,
now occupied by James w. w. Taylor, APP
pointed in his place by Gov Bradford, the
following decree was on Saturday passed by
Judge Martin, in the Supreme Court:
This cause being ready for 4 hearing, and
being submitted without argument, the petit
ton, answer and other proceeding were by the
Court read and considered. And it appear
ing to the Court that the appointment of the
said James w. W. Taylor was without war
rant of law, and that the said VIM. II. Hebden
was illegally ousted of his said Office. II is,
therefore, this 10th day ofFebruary, 1866, by
this Court adjudged, ordered and decreed pro
Jor'na, that the said James W. w. Taylor do
vacate the said office of Justice of the Peace Of
the Second ward of the city of Baltimore, and
that the said VIM. II. Hebden be admitted and
restored to the said Office, and to the fees and
emoluments thereof"
The above decree was taken, pro lorna, for
the purpose of obtaining the Judgment of the
Court Of Appeals upon the question of the
legality and Validity Of the late appointments
Of Justices of the Peace within this State.

The five persons who voted in the negative
represent the three counties constituting ex-
Governor Thomas district, and two of the

A SAFEGUARD AGAINST THE CATTLE PLAGUE
Official reports in England show that vac

guard to cattle against the plague which has

disease continues there, vaccination having
been practised by only par: of the cattle
owners. The danger 10 cattle in America,
therefore, continues Would it not be well
for agricultural societies in the different States
to urge the immediate vaccination of cattle
and sheep2 The war actually lessened the
number Of cattle in the Southern States; the
country cannot afford to lose still more of its
stock by plague, to which, nevertheless it
is exposed and which may spread to our
shores at any moment. Every precaution
should be taken TO guard against such "a ter
rible misfortune; and now that sure, cheap,
and everywhere attainable safeguard has
been discovered, it ought to be applied to all
our stock as quickly as possihle.-N Y. Post.

woman and Child shipped
hn EXDreSS

A few days since, one Of the express
companies doing business in Cincinnati
ii, received as freight, a young mulat-
to woman and her babe from Troy,
Ohio. The facts which led to this
queer proceeding are as follows: Some
three weeks since, the young woman
referred to gave birth to an illigitimate
child, and last week sued its father
who, by the way is a white man-on
the charge of bastardy, and also for
money for the child's support. The
woman was successful In her suits,
obtaining verdiets in both cases. The
father then stated publicly that he
would be reyeng9d and threatened to
kill the young woman. Her friends,
fearing that some violence might pos
sibly be done, came to the conclusion
that she had better leave the place.
and accordingly made arrangements
for her to take uD her residence in
Athens county. The man hearing Of
this, made a declaration that if she
left Troy he would meet her on the
train and kill her on sight. Her friends,
after thinking the matter over, came
to the conclusion that the best way
for her to travel would be in the ex-
press car, in charge of the messenger,
and they therefore made the necessary
arrangements. She was taken to the
Office of the company, her weight aver
aged, bill of lading made out and the
usual label for packages tied around
her neck with a string. When the
train started she was placed in charge
of the messengers, and arrived in Gin
cinnatti at the company's office safely
From there she was sent as a passen-
ger to her destination IN Athens coun-
