ARREST OF THIEVES IN WASHINGTON
Pa.-For some time past a system OF
thieYing has been going on in Wash
ington, in which the merchants OF the
town were the principal sufferers
Business houses were pilfered, and
goods stolen, without any clue to the
Perpetrators, Some of the victims,
who had suffered peenniary loss at the
hands of this band of outlaws, secret
ly sept for q well known detective of
Cincinnati. The detective, under the
guise of a fast young man, took lodg-
ings at the hotel in Washington, ore
fine clothes, made s big shoY Of mon
ey and had the every semblance OF a
sporting character. The bait took
with the unknown thieves, who soon
made the acquaintance of the detect
i've. and took him into their conf
dence. 4 store room had Geen rented
for the purchase Of grain, in which the
detective was duly initiated. The mo
dus operandi being to ~seorete the stolen
goods, such as boots and shoes, dry
goods, groceries, &C., under a pile OF
oats in the rear of the store room, until
an opportunity to ship them to market.
The ruGe vas kept Up BY the detective
until arrangements we're made for the
arrest of the whole party, the detective
among the number. The denoument
created considerable excitementin the
town and county, as a number ofyoung
men of respectable connections resi-
dents of the county we're implicated in
the affair. This, together with the nu-
merops murders and deeds OF crime,
has given the old county q very crlml-
nal notoriety-S teubenviHe Herald.

n- Nh. GREELT, of the Tribune, is
evidently in an uneasy state Of mind,
and frets and chafes p~rodigiously. He
complains that the Mosquitoes, or some
other f~erocious ~"insects," are after his
blood, and he can't bar them out
The Republican Club of New York
city, of which Mr.. q. is amember, does
not approve of his iberality toward
jeff. Davis, and hiss so informed him.
Greedy snappishly replies that he don't
care what they may think, 80, or say
about it. Ni~nety-nine out of every
hundred Union papers in the North
condemn his Conduct as indiscrete and
unnecessary and he retorts on them
with angry epithets. Mr.. G., in the SUI
perabundance of his kindness, allowed
himself to be taken in by the counsel
and friends of JEFF. Davis, and to 6e
used as a sort of seape-goat, to relieve
Davis of some of his guilt. This is re-
garded by some, as being msgnanimous,
but it is not so great a thing after all.
Magnanimity supposes an overlooking
or forgiYing of some wrong or offence.
Now, Mr.. Greedy did not view Davis in
the light of a great offender; did not
consider him guilty of any serious
crime; but regarded him as only a de
feated political aspirant. 1t required
no marvellous draught on his stock of
nagnanimity to enable Mr.. Greedy to
step up and help bear part of Davis
offence. We cannot give him credit
for any magnaminity. Mr.. Greedy
wrote to the publisher of the n. Y.
Ledger, a short time since, that he had
misgivings as to what p%osterity would
say about him. he has gone and done
it now, and may rest pretty well assu-
red that succeeding generations will
contemplate his photograph suspended
side by side on the identical ''sour APP
pie tree" with that of JEFF Davis.

s.The south VICTORIOUS

With the earliest %perceptible defec-
ton of kndreR johnson, Wendell
Phillips, in speeches made at that time,
ave a forecast of our political future,
and seeing the ultimate working of
events, as they were shaping under the
deeeitful manipulation of Johnson and
Seward, then declared the South to be
ss yet practically victorious. Instead
of promptly bringing LAWS to judg-
ment and eondign punishment, and
instead of inpeaching Andrew johnson
and putting prominent rebels, general
ly, where they could exert no hurtful
influence. the North stopped with its
work half done. of which lenieney the
South Immediately took advantage,
commenced quietly and inEiduously on
the aggressive. In less than two years
after the military power of the great
rebellion was put down, the conquer
ing power is too feeble to resist the
ESTABLISHMENTS and ehicanery of rebel
influence. 1t does appear As if there
Is either shocking stupidity or over
whelming moral coEardice where there
should be keenness and courage. The
idea that politics is a thing essentially
devoid of the least shade of morality
of all moral obligation and response
bility, is an internal conception, good
enough perhaps for Southern traitors,
cast iron Democrats and political va
grants generally, but which every de-
cent Union man ~instinctiyely puts I'M
der his heel.
It is attempted to be taught now,
that mel can be great traitors, devilish
conspIrators against liberty, and at
tempt to establish slavery on the ruins
of Republicanism, steal, murder, ruin,
rsyage and destroy far and vide, yet
be guilty Of but q mere political offence.
II an attempt to rob men Of their
natural rights, and bind them in chains
forever. is not a moral wrong and out
rage in the sight Of Heaven, We can
conceive of none. Away with your
atheistieal politics.

S1~ The use of all kinds of fireworks
is to be prohibited in Boston, and other
eastern cities, on the coming 4th of
July. The city of Boston alone has,
heretofore, annually expended SEQ, 1000,
for fireworks.
The public begin to learn that men
can be patriotic without getting drunk
and burning powder, tar-barrels and
f-re-crackers. By looking ever the pa
peIs published the week following the
last 4th of July, it will be seen, that a
number of very disasterous fires origi-
mated from the use of these little and
worthless Chinese fre-crackers. BY
one FIRE at Portland, started from a FIRE
cracker IN that day, three hundred
snd twenty-seven acres of houses and
seats of industry and commerce, extend
ing along streets to the length of eight
and a half miles, were devoured by that
element, which iran like wild horses,
from point TO point" leaving thous-
ands Of men, women and children,
rooAess and pennies, gazing helplessly
upon the ruins of their once happy
homes. And all from a small Chinese
fre-cracker.

Even Wendell Phillips gives poor
Horace Greeley a slap in the face. He
says:
Of Mr.. Greeley's part in this melan-
choly farce we want words to express
our opinion. Sorrow masters indigna-
ton. He has done many things to try
the patience of his friends; but we
think nothing has aver proved go con-
clusively his entire lack of judgment
and common sense, his utter inability
TO comprehend the epochi the strug-
gle through which the nation has
passed, or the STATEN which it stands.
Generally obtuse in his moral sense,
we confess we are obliged to believe
him more lacking in the power to dis
criminste between right and wrong
than we had fancied, in order to pre-
serve our faith in his honesty of inten-
ton. IF his friends can make out his
claim to average intelligence in politi-
cal matters, then be is responsible for
an amount of guilt in this efort-Vain,
we trust, to mislead and confuse the
nation-which all his welEmeant efforts
in times past can hardly outweigh.

The Springfield I'LL Journal says that
within the last ten days, in that market,
wheat has declined forty-fve cents per
bushel, and flour two dollars per barrel.-
The journal adds: 'The prospects for
an abundant wheat crop in this section.
we're never better, aud we confidently
look for a still further decline in both
wheat and flour. The large quantities of
wheat said to be stored by spectators
must now be brought cut, aud they must
reap the fruits of their efforts to keep the
price of -four to twenty dollars per barrel"
