GREAT ROBBERY IN PHILADELPHIA
OVER 500, 900 SroLEN.-One of the heaviest
burglaries ever perpetrated in Philadel-
phia occurred on Friday night at the store
of Messrs. W. S. Cochran s Co., wine mcr-
chants, No. 32i Walnut street. The Bd-
ietiu says:
During the night the premises were en-
tered, and the fire. proof safe, which is
built into the wall in the ordinary way,
was entered, not by picking or blowing
open the lock, but by breaking through
the solid brick wall, an operation which
must have required an hour or two OF hard
work.
The boxes, drawers, etc, containing the
valuable property Of the firm were carried
into the store, broken open, and their con-
tents thoroughly overhauled, and the rob
bers made their escape with booty amount
ing to about $4,000. The principal part
of the plumber consisted Of coupon bonds
and railroad and other stocks. Most OF
these securities were enclosed in envelopes,
on which the numbers were endorsed, and
the burglars, whose work was otherwise
done with all the delibcration Of old and
experienced hands, seem TO have over
looked this most important clue 10 the re-
covery of the property.

"MARRIAGE AT ANY PRICE "-COOL Pro
CEEDINGS IN ALLEGHANY.-The doors Of
evil in our sister city have most undoubt-
eddy got the thing down to science, and
perpctrate frauds with q cool audacity
which is really refreshing to behold, pro-
yided one is not the victim of the sharp
practice. One day last week a. crcum-
stance occurred to a worthy divine, resi-
dent Of that city, 2nd pastor of one OF our
own churches, which, from the magnitude
OF its conception and the boldncSs of its
execution, should have been productive Of
more substantial and lucrative results to
the perpetrator. As an instance of inge-
NOUS thieving, il is well worth recording.
Early one morning during the latter part
of last week a gentleman Thy courtesy
such, as he had rather rough appearance
called at the before mentioned minister's
residence, and requested to see him. The
reverend gentleman's amiablc lady, who
came to the door, answered that her hus-
band was absent, but that she would I'M
dertake to deliver any message which
might be left for him. The man then eX-
planned that his visit was as an agent for
couple who desired to be married in the
afternoon, and wished the ceremony to be
performed at the pastors house, where
they would like to get a private roomfor the
purpose. AS there were visitors present,
the lady deprecatingly assured him that 1t
would be quite announcement to have the
ceremony performed there, and begged that
he would apply somewhere else, but still
undertook TO deliver the message.
Nothing more was heard OF the matter
until in the afternoon two carriages drove
up 10 the door, from which emerged three
gentlemen and two ladies, among the for
mer our acquaintance OF the morning.
After some parley with the daughter Of
the clergyman, it was decided that the la
dies should have her room, while the gen.
tlemen should occupy the apartment OF the
pastor himself, while making their toilet
in preparation for the occasion. This was
soon done. One of the ladies joined hands
with the chosen of her heart, the remain
der of the party acted as witnesses, and
soon, after the most solemn and approved
form Of the church, the parties were fast
bound in the holy bonds of matrimony.
The rite concluded, the clergyman was pro-
perly remunerated, and the party departed,
accompanied by two trunks, as ifthey were
just about to leave town. We do not doubt
that they did SO, for upon examination oil
the vacated chamber handsome breast
pin, valued at thirty-tive dollars, together
with several other valuable articles, readily
portable, were discovered missing. Not
only these, but the inner-man had been
cared for, as in the room occupied by the
men the contents of flask Of rare liquor,
kept for medical purposes by the family,
were entirely distracted, leaving only the
bottle.
For a specimen ofcool impotence, apart
from the crime, this little surpasses any
thing of which we have heard for long
ime.-PittSt,Ug Post.

SUPREME CoURT-INroRTANT DECISIONS
ExrECTEp-TRE TEsT OATH TO BE De
CLAREp UNCoNsTITUTIoNAL-W Tur
PRESIDENT EXPECTs.-It is confidently ex.
pectcd that the iron-clad test oath which
all practitioners before the Supreme Court
Of the United States have been compelled
TO take will, IN the course of few DAYS
be declared unconstitutional by The same
majority that decided against Tie military
trials.
Judge Grier, who is assigned to de-
liver the decision, is now engaged in
the preparation of the opinion of the ma
jority OF the court. The ground taken is
that the profession of the law is trade,
and therefore an inalienable right, not to
he given by Government or taken away by
the act of rebellion, like the privilege of
voting. The distinction is laughed at by
sensible men. The privilege of refusing
toreSworn traitors to practice in the courts
of government they have attempted TO
overthrow is one of the highest duties of o
loyal magistracy. The rapid tendency of
the Supreme Court to the disloyal side of
great questions is creating strong feeling
of diStruSt in regard TO that institution.
Although some of the defenders of the
deny that such is the fact. there can he no
doubt that the President relies upon that
majority TO decide in his favor when he
takes issue against his own plan of giving
republican governments to the ten seeded
States. That question is itself purely po-
litical, and the court in the Dorr case de-
cided that all subjects ofthat kind belonged
TO Congress, and not to the courts. Yet, as
Johnson believes himself n second Jack
son, and attempts to construc the conStitu-
tion As he understands it, you may look out
for another bred Scott, with very much
longer and more poisonous tail. Reverdy
Johnson'sspeech on Wednesday last, in
which he took very bold issue with the plan
TO give republican governments to the old
despotic slave communities, and INDUCED
in the most revolutionary language, is re-
garded here rs the forerunner Of pre-
ciSely such decision as have anticipated.

The Civil, Rights Bill in Maryland.

BALTIMORE, December 23.-It is generally
understood that some action will be taken
shortly in the United States District Courts OF
this city in reference to the alleged disregard
of the Civil Rights bill by Judge Magruder, at
Anne Arundel county, in sentencing negroes
convicted of larceny to be sold, in accordance
with the Maryland Code-a provision which
has not been repealed since Maryland became
n free State. This law authorizing the sale OF
negroes rs punishment for crime Is claimed
to be in direct conflict with the Civil Rights
bill, which makes the infliction of any punish
ment upon blacks other than that prescribed
FOR whites convicted OF the same offence n
crime TO be punished by fine and imprison-
ment. There is much speculation upon the
course likely TO be pursued.

Military Commissions.

WAsHIyoroS, December 24.-Tne considera-
ton Of trials by military commissions was
first brought 10 the notice OF the Cabinet on
Friday last by the case OF DIR. Watson, of Nir-
ginia which was presented by Governor
Letcher. The President and Cabinet, in view
of the recent decision of the Supreme Court,
determined that no more civilians should be
tried by military tribunals on any pretence
whatever, and the Secretary of War was adj
yised 10 issue an order to the military COM
manders accordingly, with instructions that
when they make arrests of civilians on any
ground they shall report the matter to War
Department instanter, and await instructions
before proceeding further. The Secretary Will
issue an order conformable with the instruc-
tions of the Cabinet.

THE SwINDLER-Is HE DEAD "A few
months ago, person, who was formerly q
claim agent, was charged with forgeries Of
bounty claims and final discharge papers
on which he received large sums of money
from the Pay Department. He was en-
gagged in business in New Orleans at the
time the alleged frauds were discovered
but avoided arrest there, and came here
and proposed to give himself up to the OH
GERS for trial, but his offer was declined, as
there was no proof here against him. A
short time ago it was announced that this
person had died suddenly in this city OF
cholera, and it now appears he died at mid
night, aud the funeral took place early the
next morning-sOmc relatives being about
the only persons in attendance.
The Second Auditor, it is alleged, has
made discoveries which indicate frauds OH
soldiers amounting to about 100000, and
that the Cove 'nment will lose altogether
