A REMARKABLE ROBBERY. -

A REMARKABLE ROBBERY. "A
most remarkable robbery took place
at the house of Mr.. Nicholas Hirsh,
on First Avenue, Lamasco, on Sun
day afternoon, of which we gather
the following particulars: Mrs. Hirsh
had left a pocket book, containing
$62, in dress pocket, hanging in an
upper room. Some neighboring chill
dren came to play with her children,
and she gave the key of the room to
her little daughter, and the children
played together for some time up
stairs, when Mrs FL. told them to go
outside and play. Towards evening
Mrs lei. went upstairs and dlscov-
cred the pocket of her dress turned
Inside out and the pocket-book and
contents gone. She at once instituted
an investigation and tried to see the
Fchildren who had been playing with
her children, but they avoided her
for astime, and when she found them
/ the girl cried with fright and the boy
turned very pale. The mother of the
children naturally took their part,
and would hear no explanation and
allow no search, though the little girl
turned her pockets inside out to show
that she had not the pocket-book.
l. Yesterday morning at daylight the
pocket book was found inside the
front gate and in it two ten and one
two dollar notes, which had been
overlooked by the thief. There is no
good reason to suspect any one, ex-
cept the fact that the children were
playing in the room from which the
money was taken, and no one but the
children were known to have entered
the room during the day. Mr.. Hirst
is an Industrious, hard working, repu-
table German. and the loss of $50 to
him is quite a misfortune. The pa
rents of both families should make a
thorough Investigation of the matter,
as the children are quite young and
scarcely old enough to know the tur-
pitude of. taking money that lies in
their way, and may have got possess
sion of it, and dread to make confess
sion for fear of punishment. All the
children that played in the room have
always borne a good reputation. We
give the principal facts as we obtain
them from Mr.. Hirst himself.

TEACHERS lNsTITUTE.-This As
ISOLATION met yesterday at 9 o'clock,
A. NJ. A large number of teachers
were In attendance, and manifested a
deep interest in all the proceedings.
The best of order prevailed during the
day. Prof. j. w. knight made few
pertinent remarks about the necessity
and utility of Teachers Institutes,
after which Prof. Z. w. Harvey ad-
dressed the Association on the sub
ject of Geography. He spoke of the
stages of mental development, and
the manner of instruction suitable for
each stage; also, of the Importance of
studying the facts of Physical Geogra-
ply before entering uron the study of
Local Geography. His remarks
throughout we're received with the
greatest attention. The subject of
Arithmetic was then taken up by
Prof. D. Hough. He spoke of the
necessity of accuracy and rapidity in
the study thereof; also, of repeating
the tables in irregular order-of test
examples, of concrete examples, and
written examples. His illustrations
were very interesting Miss Brown

collected about her. A bunch of
grapes was held out and questions
asked about the berries, stem. stem
lets and the growth of the grapes.
After this an interesting discussion
about the use of common and
scientific terms took place. Miss
Locke then addressed the Associa
ton on the subject of Object Lessons
and discussed the following princi-

THE FIRST VOTE.

1t is stated that there viii be about
fOrty-fye thousand votes polled in this
State next August, by a class of persons
who never cast ballot before. By this
act they become a part of the governing
power of the State. In republics the
government partakes of the character of
the citizens, and the agents they may
choose to administer it. If they are cor
rupt, dishonest and icentiOus, the gov
eminent will be the same-if they are
wise, virtuous and honest the govern
ment will be just and equal The laws
viii be wise and tolerant, the citizen will
be protected in all his rights and prigi~
leges, aud prosperity will wait upon
peace and industry Everything will
move smoothly and tremendously But
where faction prevails, and injustice and
oppression takes the place of liberty
regulated by law, there will necessarily
be strife, and contention and violence.
ia casting their first vote, therefore,
the colored people should be careful that it
should be on the side of freedom, equality,
Justice, constitution and law. They
should set out right; and vote only for
good and true men-men whose patriot
ism and sense of justice are well known,
and whose honesty of purpose cannot be
questioned They should especially turn
a deaf ear to the oppressors of any por-
ton of their fellow-citizens, and place
themselves upon the platform of univer-
sal suffrage, and peace to all 1t is no
time for the colored man to follow violent
and designing men, who stir up strife and
who would lead the country to violence
and bloodshed They should remember
that their own and the liberties Of all the
people are at an end, when a partisan
faction maintains its power by the sword
They should think Of these things for
themselves-and not allow themselves to
be driven or persuaded to vote away the
liberties and property of other people
They will thus become themselves OPP
pressors viii they deliberately assume
this character in casting their first vote
We hope not, and we solemnly warn them
against it-warn them against Radicalism
and all its bloody purposes,

Miss Narcissa Saunders:
"The surroundings are incomparably

beautiful, magnificent and gorgeous. The
vicinity is peculiarly Italian in its variety
of mountain, hill, dale and valley. The
elegant ladies who maintain this princely
establishment dispense a munifcent hos
pitality to their innumerable friends and
visitors, with charming grace that would
do honor to a baronial mansion of the
English courtly style. The favorable issue
OF their late protraeted and harrassing liti-
cation, that excited such an extraordinary
amount of attention in this section and
elsewhere, has brought them innumerable
visitors and congratulations on their well
coined and gratifying success. Mrs. Brown
Is suffering at present very much from the

eumstanees attending the trial, but in this
Injurious atmosphere and the repose of her

WASHINGTON, June pa bill was in
troduced to-day by Mr.. Stevens to enable
the inhabitants of the Rebel States con
quered by the United States to form State
governments. The bill declares that all
governments and pretended governments
in Southern territory are null and void and
of no effect, other thar that which they
shall derive from the action Of Congress.
The corporations and offices existing for
de facto purposes are to be continued until
Congress, or those authorized by Congress,
shall determine their existence with proper
constitutions. Until admitted into the
Union, each district, as now existing, shall
be governed by three commissioners, civil
ians chosen by the joint action Of Congress.
The present registration is to be continued
with view to forming the State constitu-
tions, which must be submitted to the APP
proval Of Congress.
The bill declares the admission of new
States into the Union aud the reconstruc-
ton Of old ones, is the sole duty and work
of Congress, and neither the President or
any head of department, nor the Judiciary,
nor the military have any right TO inter
iere IN such matters, unless required by
Congress The opinion of the Attorney
General on any point connected with the
admission of new States, or reconstruction
is destroyed, and is Unauthorized, and
ought not TO be obtruded on the government.
Nothing will be done in the House with
the several contested election cases until
next session. Owing 10 the departure for
home Of members, the House has scarcely
quorum present.

WHO WOULD ENsLAvE THE NEGRO.


The Radicals have constantly and in
dustriously endeavored to convince the
colored people that the Conservatives de
sire to re~enslaye them. This is an I'M
mitigated lie, without a word, or the
shadow of a word of truth to rest upon
1t should be answered everywhere and on
all occasions, not with argument but by
the plain and emphatic monosyllable,
above used.
But the truth is that the Radicals are
at this moment striving to reduce the
negro 60 condition of mental slavery,
and Of slavery to party, even more de-
grading than that of the body They are
attempting to use him and to force him
to take political position for the benefit
of the leaders, and contrary 10 his own.
They dictate to him as imperiously as if
he were the slave of slave, and try
to place him under the political
rod of their would>be Radical
masters. They dictate to him the
party and the person for whom he shall
vote This dictation may be seen in the
open action Of the Radical party it may
be heard in every speech of the candi-
dates for office. You are constantly re-
minded of your obligations from the

cal leaders shows that they do not re-
gard you as freemen You are but
their slaves to minister to their own

sons know, are not binding upon the
members Of the ieague-neither in law
nor in morals 1t is more honorable to
assert their freedom by abandoning the
