ARREST OF THIEvEs.-Monday morning,
early, before breakfast, two men went into the
store of Messrs. Woodman, True & Co., and
enquired for various articles. While the at
tentiOn of the clerk was attracted by one of
them, the other took the opportunity of slip
ping couple of pieces of valuable silks into a
paste-board box which he had brought with
him, and which opened at the end with a
spring that piece OF goods dropped on to
that! end would 60 into the box and the end
would close up. 20 9 1aa4qrinra
From Woedman, True & Co.'s store the
the scamps went to that of Dunn & Palmer,
where they stole two more pieces of silks.
They also visited several other shops, ard
probably did pretty extensive business before
breakfast. E.i sftt s-l,l-t " XII
The scamps packed the goods in the box
which they had with them and directed it to
some person in New York. 80 t..u
Messrs. Dunn & Palmer having discovered
their loss, sent word to the police office, and
Deputy Marshals Wentworth and Irish pro-
ceeded to work up the matter.r,In the course
Of the day they arrested two men who were
stopping at the International House, who had
forwarded package to New York that morn
ing. A telegram to Boston stop ped the pack
age in that city and it was returned here, and
when opened, it was found to contain silks
and other articles. Two pieces of the silk
were recognized by Messrs Wo edman, True &
Co., as being their property, and which had
been stolen from them. ii The other articles
have not yet found claimants D's'.i s'-d F
There are some other points in this affair
that have come to our knowledge which we
forbear to state at present, until the matter is
completely worked up. q IL = "

Prices of Pictures.

There is a class of persons VINO are ooh'
stantly telling us that the love of art is qrnte
dead among us to-day, and that all apprecia-,
ton of its masterpieces is thing OF the past
We have very simple way OF testing the cor
ractness of these assertions, and that is~by
comnaring the rewards of genius now with
those it formerly received. In 1850, Hogarth
mt ND to auction the six paintings Of the
g Marriage a la Mode" and had the mortifica-
tion to see them knocked down for no guineas.
The frames had cost him "a guineas; so that
for the pictures, the best painted, the purest
in treatment, and the noblest in purpose of all
his works, he received just Ats, or less than
$40 each. Contrast this with the prices which
Church, Bierstadt and others are accustomed
to receive; $4,000, s25,OOO, and even $4,000
are not uncommonly paid for the works OF
great painters nowadays. In 1852 picture
by Murillo-an eImmaculatc Conception,
which Marshal Soult took from the altar OF
church in Spain--was sold in Paris for over
$120,O0O. Art had never more generous en-
couragement artists had never fairer neid
or more cordial recognition than they "ee'
with now.

The issues which divide the people OF
the country with reference to the reconstruc-

clearly defined, on the one hand by the
proposition of Congress to amend the con.
stitution of the United States, and on the
other by the declaration of principles
adopted by the National Union Convention
which assembled in Philadelphia on the
l4th of August last, l invite you to meet
me in joint discussion at one or more
places in each county in the district, that
the people may have an opportunity oi
learning our views on these questions be-
fore they are called upon to vote.
lfyou accept my proposition, am pre-
pared at once to arrange with you as to
the time, places and manner in which the
discussions shall be conducted. An early
reply is respectfully requested.

ments for them to extend the privilege of
voting to them. 1t abandons the doctrine
that the Southern States are not republican
enough in form, and proposes to make a
still further disfranchisement, and give the
government of each State into the hands of
one twentieth or less of its citizens.
This report is the thing hatched by the
Reconstruction Committee after all their
avowed policies had been condemned bv
the people. Riding on the back of this
monstrous crawiish, they have crawled back
from the positions which they first took,
and are trying to hide themselves from the
gaze of gods and men. Where now is the
radical party, and what principles does it
advocate 1t attempted to create a negro
aristocracy, and by forcible revolution to
pass the government of the South into the
hands of Southern citizens of Northern
ideas. But the people who had made this
nation revolted at this political and social
equality, and compelled the politicians to
abandon it. They advocated disruption
of the Union, but there was too much loyal
ty In the nation, and the people compelled
them to make hasty retreat from that
position. Now, cameleon-like, they take
the color of their surroundings in every
community and have but one purposc-the
retention of the spoils of office. They are
attempting to usurp the functions of the
Executive, and by revolutionary means to
hold on to the Federal patronage which
they know will be transferred at the close
of the session to more loyal men-the sol
diers of the army.
