21st, and robbed Of large amount OF groceries.
Lieutenant HENDR1dKs, being notified Of the fact
put the case in Officer CHAPa1AN's hands, who soon
succeeded in arresting the parties. It appeared
that one Of the thieves had concealed himself in
The store and opened it to his conferes about the
middle OF the night, and the robbery was then
easy. One oft robbers was captured by the up
town police, and the remaining three were arrested
by Officer CHAPMAN. The goods have been mostly
recovered, and the robbers will have chance of

Rather Costly.

The tariff and high taxation policy
of New England is rather costly to
the country, as shown by aparagrnpli
in the New York Erening Fost, n
journal which occupies n high posi-
ton in commercial circles. The Posi-
says that so long as tariff duties are
levied on 5000 different articles, SO
long the Government will have to keep
up costly standing army Of coast
guardsmen to keep out smugglers; so
long as internal duties on 10, 600 differ
ent articles, so long the Government
must keep up costly standing army
of spies, informers, searchers and
other agents. All these officers live
we'll, have large salaries, and grow
rich of the savings of the people,
who are obliged to pay taxes on
1G, 600 different articles, under n
stupid, wasteful and oppressive sys-
tenn of taxation, which Congress
ought at once to abolish in favor of a
sensible system.
But, if we mistake not, the Post
aided in the establishment of the
"Congressional" Government with
which the country is now afflicted.
Mr.. Calhoun once said that there
were 100000 officc-holders Of the
Government who lived upon spoils,
and whose influence controlled the
elections. How fenrfully increased
has this class become since his day!
The truth is, that the country is fast
driving upon the breakers of bank
ruptcy, unless some hand is put forth
to save-some reaction in the politi-
cal sentiment of the people, who
now solely control the destinies Of the
country. We have no doubt but
that there are nearly half million of
officers engaged in the collection of
tariff and internal revenue, in one
way or other, whose support must
come out of the honest earnings of
the industrious of onr people. Such
state of things cannot last long

A WORD TO RAILRoADs.-Pe
postage largely increased the reve-
nue., and the same policy applied to
railroads works we'll. Two lines be-
tween Boston and Portland are now
engaged in competition as to which
can carry passengers at the cheapest
rates. They have reduced their fares
to some points to less than half what
was charged before tho war, and ench
is making every effort to induce pas
sengers to prefer one route over the
other. The consequence is, that the
number OF passengers have trebled on
both roads, and they are making
more money than ever before. Can't
our railway companies take lesson
from the experience Of their Eastern
rivals?

Another fiendish child-murder hns
