our citizens have been infested with a
gang of burglars ard we have had
frequent occasion to mention their
depredations. The immunity with
which they have piled their yoeat;;5a
has rendered them bold, and their
depredations are becoming alarming.
On Tuesday night of this week Gil
let's grocery, corner of Oak ard
Fourth Streets. was entered, and q
quantity, of cigars, tobacco, and other
goods stolen. On Wednesday night
the store of Jimmy Smell, called the
Iron City Grocery" on Locust
Street. between First and Second,
was entered by prying open a side
door in the narrow alley between the
two buildings. and then breaking
through the partition door. A small
crewbar had been used, as the marks
indicated, by means of which the
hasp Of the door had been broken of.
Then the carpet strip at the bottom
Of the sliding door in the partition
was torn up, and the door removed.
The desk inside was broken open,
and one dollar and half in money
obtained, about all there was in the
store. : = = :, .c + . az.
q The next place we hear Of themis
at Dr.. George B. aiker's Office,
which they entered in like manner,
from the back yard, by prying off the
hasp that catches the latch and the
bolt.z AHthe ,desksodooFs and draw
ers inside were broken, and articles
to the value Of s5Ol6r $50 stolen. In
their work they had used a small
piece of star candle. droppings from
which were left on everything. The
safe in the Office was untouched.
Elsewhere we hear of stove and
one or two copper, boilers being
carried off, and al another place
the bold thieves had actually carried
the furniture from the parlor of a
house to the sidewalk, when they
were frightened on.
This wholesale and promiscuous
breaking of houses is enough to ex1
cite alarm, and it is not strange that
our citizens are anxiously inquiring,
is there no remedy for these evils?
We have police force of ten men on
duty, but not single arrest has been
made. and burglaries are nightly COM
mitted IN the most public parts of the
city. With the number of Migrants
and sneak thieves that infest the city,
many of them well known and seen
daily by all who walk about the
streets, it is not singular that honest
people are nightly preyed upon.
AN OBrRuDER.-1Laast evebing the
attention Of Mr-Wiliiam Brown was
directed to a. large owl that had
perched upon tree in his grounds,
and was intently and with an air of
wisdom eying a solitary chicken that
had gone to roost on the top of the
coop, and no doubt congratulatiDg his
owlship upon the dainty supper await
ing him. But there is many slip
between the cup and lip," and so in
this case. A well directed shot aimed
by Mr. Brown closed his owlship's
career and saved the chicken. The
owl measured four and alf feet
from tip to tip, and was of the largest
species.

The Force Library.


Tho librarian Of Congress, Mr. A. R. Spoford,
has just made special eport to tho Joint Com
mittee on the Library, recommending the pur-
chase o5 the large histGFesl collection belonging
membered that the Historical Society Of tn; city,
in 1856, made Mr.. Force conditional oaeF6f $780,
600, which he accepted.
Tho enterprise failed last winter for lack of
funds The same amount has since been offered
by bookseller, who desired to secure the library
that he sslp the library only upon e condition on

fire-proof public repository" He now offers it to
the Government at the same price, and Mr.. Spof-

The library contains q 52s volumes and about
these bear upon tho history of this country. Mr.
Force made the collection with special reference to
United States. His manuscript materials for that
work would make three hundred and sixty folio

Eliots Indian Bible, tho FORKS of the Mathers,
Cotton, Norton, and their cynismporares-and o
complete collection Of the publications Of Frank
OF the colonial assemblies, in some two hundred
volumes. .~
In the department OF carly printed American
newspapers, there are unusually complete files OF
the leading journals Of Massachusetts, New York,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, and other States dating
from 1855 to 1900 and covering with much fullness
the period of the Stamp Act controversy the revo-
sent Constitution.
Altogether the Force library has no less than
two hundred and forty-fve bound volumes Of
American newspapers printed prior to 1900, be-
sides about seven hundred volumes, bound and
unbound, Of Journals printed from 1900 to the pre-
sent time.
In pamphlets relating to this country the library
is very full and rich. In the library Of Congress
there are now not quite 6000 pamphlets. Mr.. Force
has collected nearly 40 1000. e1O6 were printed be-
fore 1900. As Mr. Force was so fortunate as to So
cure many years siuce, five great and unbroken
collections, formed by leading politicians Of differ
ent parties, who arranged and bound up for con.

their time. the collection is not only unmatched
but, at this day, un1natchable for completeness
The library also possesses forty ght folio vol

The Negro and the Bn11ot.

In very sensible article on the future of the ne
groes in which it is maintained that the greatest
need Of the negro is some means TO make q living,
and sustain himself in competition with the white
race, the New York World says: \; VI
Emancipation found them al paupers, and bad
harvests keep them 80. While the present condi-
tion and future of the freedmen are thus
gloomy, there is not much to encourage them in
the more distant prospect Their noisiest friends
who cry for the ballot do not soem to have reflect
ed thoughtfully on their conditcn. Ballots in The
hands Of the negroes might make quite an addition
to the erical strength Of the Republican party
but ballots will do little for tho negroes in the
petition for employment and struggle for social con-
sequence on which they must enter. The relation
OF labor to capital ls looming up into prominence
e a Sqaagh OF but
trades-unlons which have grown up within the
last few years. and have spread their ramifcations
enee elections. They are . confession Of the IN
efficacy OF the ballot to accomplish the reforms
sought by the laborins classes. Bsllots are mere
can be passed regulating the wages labor, which
is the topic Of chief interest to the aborng classes
The trades-unions associations to keep up the
price Of labor, and it needs but slight examina-
fon into their methods TO show that the. negroes
are likely to be excluded from their benefi s..
These associations are composed of skilled arti-
zans, and their tendency is to condemn all who do
not belong to them to the lowest rank ct coarse
employments. IT, through the exclusveness Of
t1adssunions and similar modern organizations,
the negroes prevented from exercising the
most Respectable and lucrative trades they viii
thereby be condemned to perpetual poverty and
degradation = The pressure or this Ban win IN
crease as thu country becomes more populous and
the competition for employment keener. The ne
groes are therefore likely, as q class, to remain
permanently in the condition Of hired farm labor-
era. Beisg, like all people Of o tropical origin,
indolent, they will be less and less
desired as laborers in proportion as the more en-
ergetic white population becomes dense; and when
they are felt by the latter TO be in the way, the
existing repugnf nee to their race viii naturally
deepen. ~ T.. .ss,sf f:.sg n M. n,
