FORGERY. A man named James
Swan was yesterday arrested on the
charge of forging notes, which pur-
ported to have been signed by Mr.. r.
+. Devries, agent of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, at this point.
He was taken before Justice Johnston
for trial. The evidence against the
prisoner was sufficient to warrant his
detention, and he was committed to Jail
for . further hearing before the Circuit
Court.

MERCHANTS AND ~SuSPKEEPERs BE-
wARE.-We are reliably informed that q
"new dodge" to facilitate petty thefts
or daring robberies on q large scale in
daylight, has been resorted to and at
tempted during the past week by pro.
fessional sharps. The plan is simply
this: Two "sharps" will spot a certain
place at meal time, where they have pre-
viously ~ascertained that the proprietor
was in the habit Of leaving a boy dur
ing his absence. When the proprietor
goes away one of the sharps will enter
the store, the "pard" remaining outside
on the watch, aud tender the boy . ten
OF twenty dollar greenback Counterfeit,
Of ~course) and asks to have it changed
into small notes. If the boy said he
had not sufficient small notes, the sharp
would then offer himtwenty-five or fifty
cents to go out and get the note chang
ed at . bank or neighboring merchant.
In every Instance, however, so far rs We
can learn, the parties failed in their OBJ
ject, which evidently was, that as soon
as the boy would leave the store to get
the change, the sharp would help him.
self to whatever was valuable in reach
and depart with his booty before his
return. Look out for this dodge.

painters articles, valued at between
forty and ffty dollars. Fhe evidence
wspt-to show that Orr had left, the car
pst-sack at the hotel, and some time af-
discovered it to be missing; he
made search for It., but heard MOI saw
nothing of it until it was found in the
possession of Qninlan and Baldwin
when they were arrested at Fairmont.
On this charge the two men were COM
mitted to Jail to await trial before the
Circuit Court.
The second charge brought was for
riot, in that they had gone to Simpsons
Saloon, on Market street, broken into
the house and created great disturb
ance. Baldwin was identified as q par
ticipant in the affair, and was held on
the second charge, but Quinlan was not
identified, and was released from that
charge.
The Court room was crowded long
before the trial began, and the grea''
est interest was manifested to see the
prisoners and hear the evidence
elected. During the progress OF the
trial, Daniel Quinlan, a brother Of one
of the prisoners, appeared in the Court
room. somewhat intoxicated, and fire.
~quently INDUCED in profane language.
He was fined one dollar for each oath,
and finally committed to Jail for con-
tempt o fCourt. He was given q hear
ing last night, when he wa. f~nedtwelve
dollars for contempt of Court, five dol
lars for drunkenness, and held to- bail
in the sum of one hundred dollars for
his good behavior for n year. He
paid the fine, gave bail, and was re-
leased.

certain circumstances and conditions,
d right 10 intervene in the treaty

The Committee rose. and the Speak
er laid before the House message
from the President in commendation
of Major General Hancock.
The reading of the message created
some amusement on the Republican
side Of the House Covode was anx-
iOus 10 know whether it was genuine
or u hoax. The Speaker said it was a
message from the President of the
United States, delivered by the Presi-
dents private Secretary.
Eldridge enquired whether it was
in order no| to offer the resolution OF
thanks TO General Hancock.
The Speaker said it would require
the unanimous consent of the House.
Washbur ae, Of lii nois, wished the
resolution to be read.
Eldridge suggested a similar reso-
luton to that voted to General Sheri-
dan.
The Speaker suggested that he

Message Of the President His Com
mendatlOn of General Hancock.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-The Pres
,ident sent the following message to
Congress to-day:
Gentlemen Of the Senate and House Of
Representatives,:
An official copy of the order issued
by MaiJr General w. S. Hancock,
Commander of the Fifth Military
District, dated Headquarters, New
Orleans, on the Doth day of Novem-
Der, has reached me through the reg
ular channels of the War Depart
ment, and | herewith communicate
it to Congress for such action as may
seem to be proper in view of all the
circumstances. 1t will be perceived
that Gen. Hancock announces that he
will make the law the rule of his
conduct, and that he will uphold the
courts and other civil authoii-
ties in the performance of
their proper duties, and that he will
use his military power only to pre-
serve the peace and enforce the law
He declares very explicitly that the
sacred rights Of trial by jury and
privilege of writ of habeas corpus
shall not be crushed out or troddeu
under foot He goes further, and in
one comprehensive sentence asserts
that the principles of American loyal
ty are still the inheritance of this
people, and ever should be. When
a great soldier, with unrestricted
power in his hands to Oppress his
fellOwmen, voluntarily foregoes the
chance of gratifying his selfish
ambition, and devotes himself to the
duty of building up the liberties and
strengthening the laws of his country,
he presents an example of the highest
virtue that human nature is capable
of practiclng. The strongest claim
of Washington, to be =" first in war,
first in peace, and first in the hearts
of his countrymen," is founded on
the great fact that, in all his illustri
Gus career, he scrupulously abstained
from violating the legal and coustitu-
tional rights of his fellow-citizens
When he surrendered his commission

ing the State line between Kentucky

ton lies over one day.

character was read, making the pres
ent session extend over sixty days.

dition.
