Fas in itself eminently suggestive of

r. The high water for some time
past has set us to thinking seriously
whether we ought not to report river
news. Town creek has been present
ing the appearance of very earnest
md respectable river, but the sudden

would require the services of a most
Efficient corps of reporters. Imagine
how it would read:
"The river rising rapidly; it rose

would rise 12O feet in "A hours and

Perhaps it would be as well not to
report it, but let Town creek rise and
all without alarming any one.

~ Among the bitter experiences
Of the last few days, we chronicle the
fact that we must this morning say
good bye to our old friend, Captain
J. B. johnson, of the firm of Craft
L Johnson, who leaves our city to en-
ter INTO business in New Orleans.
We have known him for years, and
have ever found him the gallant sol
|dier and the afable and courteous
gentleman. Among the many brave
men who made the army of General
Lee, great and glorious, no more
gallant officer could have been found
than Captain Johnson, and when
the blessed white winged messen-
ger alighted upon our land
and We found him located at Jackson
we did not allow ourselves to consider
the prospect of his leaving. We can
trnlysay,

May kind friends greet and fortune

The idea of burning down tree six or
eight feet in diameter, and green, would
have seemed to be as simply absurd and
ridiculous But the thing is done in Ore
gon every day at q vast saving of time
and labor. The operation is done in this
wise: @ -l = u
A hole is bored into the tree horizont-
ally, the nearer the center the better.
Then directly under this hole smother is
bored at sn angle of elevation such that
the holes meet together near the center Of
the tree A coal of fire with little kind
ling is introduced into the orifce thus
formed, and the upper one performs the
functions Of chimney. The heart of
the tree is dry and contains considera-
bic amount Of pitch, and when manipu-
lated as / have described, burns briskly-
1t IS generally necessary TO feed this
FIRE with some fresh fuel from time to
time. But one man can keep large
number of trees thus burning, and viii get
twenty OF q hundred trees down muen
Quicker and easier than he could other
wise do In similar manner, when the
tree ia cut down, il Is cut into pieces By
beinr burned in two. "A hole is burned

The chief JustIee and JeG. Davis, Trial

Washington Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette. !
1t was stated in this correspondence,
some days ago that Chief Justice Chase
had expressly said he could not hold Court
in Virginia while the State was under
martial law. 1t may now be added that
he had an interview with the President
on Saturday evening last, during which
he urged upon the Executive the propriety
of removing the suspension of the priv
ileges Of the writ of habeas corpus, and of
Withdrawing martial law at least in Vir-
ginia, so far as relates to cases in which
the Courts of the United States have iu-
risdiction His object in making this re-
commendation is, of course, to have the
Court in such condition that it can con-
sistently with its own dignity and inde-
pendclce, proceed with the trials for trea-
son and other crimes. The recent pro-
ceedings at New Orleans made the Chief
Justice particularly unwilling to enter
upon trials for treason where the action of
his Court might be interrupted by the mil
itary authorities The orders in that case,
as well as other recent orders, clearly
enough demonstrate that the peace pro-
clamstion does not remove martial law,
and the Chief Justice desires the assur-
ance of a Presidential order or proelama-
ton to the effect that the Court will not
be interfered with by the military in case
proceedings in the treason cases are begun.
What the President will do in the mat
ter is not yet known, but there are hints
that he will soon issue a proclamation to
the purport that martial law is sbrogated
in all matters whereof the civil courts
have jurisdiction.
The spring term Of the Virginia Circuit
Court has opened at Norfolk, Judge Un-
derwood presiding, and it is expected that
the Grand Jury will bring in true bill
for treason against Jefferson Davis. Prior
to the rebellion this court was held
st Richmond, as being a more
central and convenient point, and
the House passed bill to-day allowing
it to be returned to that city. Whether
Judge Underwood will take any steps in
the Davis business is not known. MIR.
Chase will probably visit Norfolk, and
attend the Court next week. So much
interest attaches to the question of treason
trials in Virginia, that it may be men
toned in this connection that the House
Judiciary Committee has under consid-
Grafton bill drawn by Judge Lawrence,
of Ohio, quite materially regulating the
qualification and selection of jurors for
such trials, which, it is believed, they will
agree TO report in some form.

A Gooxraphical Hoax ExDosed.

For many years geographers haveaceept-
ed as a standard authority in regard to
that part of Central Asia which lies be-
tween Cashmere and the Russian terri
tory, certain documents, charts, sketches
and records of astronomical observations
made by s,German gentleman about sixty
years ago. This person claimed to have
thoroughly explored that part of Asia in
the services of the Indian government, for
the purpose of purchasing horses; quar-
relling with his employers, he laid the re-
suit of his travels before the government
of Russia, and they have since been pre-
served in the archives of the Empire at St.
Petersburg. These statistics have been
uniformly assumed to be correct, the docu-
ments have been translated into different
languages, and the delineations of the
country have been used by the map-mak-
ers. Sir Henry Rawlinson has lately had
reason, however, to doubt their snthen-
ticity, and having given the matter q
thorough investigation, has announced at
q recent meeting of the Royal Geographi-
cal Society in London that the whole
statement of the anonymous German is an
elaborate hoax, and that no reliance WHIST
ever can be placed on his assertions.

XXXIXth Congress
WAsH1xerox, May 8.

WASHINGTON, May 8.
HOUSE.
After the reading of the journal Mr.. GAR
FIELD, of Ohio, moved to postpone the
special order, being the constitutional
amendment reported by the Committee on
Reconstruction, until the tax bill shall be
disposed of. He said It would be national
calamity to have the tax bill delayed.
Mr.. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, hoped
that no such disposition would be made of
it. He had no idea that the discussion of
the constitutional amendment would oc-
cupy two or three days, and it was not the
purpose of the Committee to have the other
Two measures acted on until it was seen
what disposition the Senate would make Of
the constitutional amendment
Mr.. LEBLOND, of Ohio, called for the
yeas and nays on Mr.. Garfeld's motion,
saving he wanted to see who were in favor
of giving the negro the preference over i'm
portant interests Of the country.
The vote was taken and resulted as fol-
lows: Yeas 81, nays 50. So the motion was
lost.
Mr.. WASHBURNE, of Illinois, offered a
resolution, which was adopted, directing the

CRAWFORD COUNTY.
From the Bucyrus Journal:

from the DuCyrus OOhIHus
On last Monday night, about 2 o'clock
| A. NJ, a party of six robbers made
forcible entrance into the dwelling of Mr..
John Albright, near New Winchester in
this county, by knocking thedoor in with
q fence post They Immediately rushed
into the house in body, and notified the
old man that they wanted his money, and
that he should lie still and they would
help themselves. Theold man refused to
do so and attempted to get up, when one
of the robbers struck him over the head
with club, rendering him unable to get
up. About this time, a son, young
man, hearing the noise rushed into the
room, and at once seized the first one OF
the thieves, and got the better Of him,
when a second one attacked him; but as
he was proving himself toe much for the
two, a third one came up and attacked
him, striking him over the head and rem
dering him insensible. The women then
made their appearance, when the robbers
told them if they made the least outcry
they would murder them. The robbers
then proceeded 10 ransack the house, and
succeeded in obtaining about $500 and a
gold watch, when they departed, leaving
their dark lanterns. The two Albrights,
father and son, are suffering considerably
from their injuries, and fears are enter
tanned that in the case of the old man
they may prove fatal. It was certainly a
bold robbery.
On Monday last rather well dressed
man coolly walked in the front rosm of
the residence of Mr.. W. G. Trimble, in
this place. Going up to the looking glass
he adjusted his hair and then calmly seated
himself on the sofa. After resting COM
placently, he got up and commenced OBJ
servations, in the most composed manner.
On being asked what he wanted he dryly !
replied Zone hundred and fifty dollars in |
greenbacks." He was told he had got into |
the wrong place for those commodities"
that his roOmwas better than |
company. He then went to the livery |
stable of Mr.. VIM. Lewis and endeavored |
TO hire team, but was prevented by Mr..
who had followed him. The |
man was evidently insane.

All the parties implicated in the Adams
Express robbery, in January last, have
been arrested, and all of the half-million
dollars, except about forty thousand dollars,
recovered. The originator of the robbery,
Jno. Grady, a brakeman on the New Ha-
ven train, was recently arrested at Bridge
port, Connecticut. Martin Allen, the en-
gineer of the robbery, was arrested in
Brooklyn last Saturday. Gilbert McGlan,
alias Oily McGlory, a well known sneak
thief, was arrested in this city last Friday
night. James Wells, a brother-inlaw of
Martin Allen, was also arrested in this city
on the same night. They were all taken to
Bridgeport and committed. The proof
against them is conclusive. 1t is said that
the police in this city knew who the rob-
bers were Immediately after the facts of the
robbery were known, but made very little
or no effort to arrest them. The arrests
were effected through the agency Of Pink
erton's National Police.
