AN ABsCoNDING DEBTOR.

A carpenter who had been working fol
Leonard Conover of this city, having con
tracted number of debts at the different
stores in Bridgeton, and owing Mr. Con-
over and others, took a notion to leave
for distant parts. On Monday morning
last officer Taylor started on his track as
far as Millville, but was evaded. Mr.
Taylor returned to Bridgeton and in the
afternoon train proceeded to Glassboro'
in company with Mr.. Conover, where
they met the gentleman on his way to
Philadelphia in train from Millville
He jumped from the car and undertook
to get away, but it was of no use, as they
were close on his track. He gave them
about nine dollars declaring that was all
he had, and they insisted on his giving
them an order for his chest of tools,
which was detained at Camden.

WEST JERSEY RAIL ROAD.

1t twill be seen by the advertisements that
dividend of four per cent, clear of all taxation,
payable in at their Office. In connexion with
this announcement it is almost ludicrous to
remember the predictions of the past in re-
y. ~ncn TO this compsny. Inerc Ls.4e earu
of our citizens who would see its value to
stand that their property would be increased
in value by its establishment. A few men Of
the far seeing business ability of Horatio J.
Mulford; the late lamented Gen. David Potter:
Hon. J. 7. Nixon; R. G. Nichols; the Elmers,
and others, believed in the enterprise and
showed their faith by their works, but even
these gentlemen were dubious as to much per-
centage upon the money they invested, though
willing to invest both for the collateral benefits
and the public good. 1t will also be remember
ed that it needed the most strenuous exertions
of these gentlemen in connexion with Judge
Yorke to secure the 100000 subscribed.
upon which basis the members of the Camden
and Amboy Company offered their ssistance
in building the road. Yet, events have most
agreeably falsifed the fears which were enter
tanned in this direction. Not only has property
advanced sufficiently to compensate for the in
vestments made, but the road itself from the
receipts of its freight and travel is paying
percentage equal to what are termed first class
investments in any other business and probabili-
ties are that each succeeding year will increase
the travel and other business, and as conse-
quence the dividend must he much largor.-
We do not think the time far distant when the
stock of the West Jersey Road will command
a premium equal to that of Camden and Am
boy, and we deem the facts thus connecting
with both its present and its future to be the
highest compliment whichit is possible to pay
to the directors and officers who have SO ably
managed its interests.

RECONSTRUCTION.

The work of reconstruction in the
South goes bravely on. The different
military commanders press forward the
registration Of voters, aud where sufi-
cient number of men who can take the
required oath cannot be found. other
men from some other locality are selected
and the plan is pressed forward to com.
pletion. Besides this, just now the Re-
publican congressman are making tours
through the South explaining their ac.
tions as fnality, and southern leaders
are also addressing their constituents,
urging the recognition of the state g ov.
ernments under the military bill The
most virulent Of the newspapers have
received warning that their disloyal ut.
terances will no longer be permitted and
all things appear to be advancing to O
happy issue.

MURDER OF GENERAL BAILEY.
A Probable clue to the Assassins--they
are supposed to be on their way to
Canada,


correspondent of the Detroit Free Press, writing
from Edwsrdsburg Michigan, April 10, states that
two men. representing in every particular the MUIR
derers, passed through or near Edwsrdsburg the
OH lnst ten days after the murder. The correspon-
dent was stopping at the farmhouse of
samuel Ripple, eight miles northeast of Mshawakee,
on the back neighborhood road, running from the
last named place in north easterly direction. Just
before O'Clock two men came in and asked for some
thing to eat saying they out of money etc. Mrs
Rupe seton some viotuals, and they ate four times
as much as any two men ought to consume at one
meal. They were the most desperate looking fellows
ever saw and as soon as they came in / was fully
impressed that they were fugitves from Justice and
% %Hphotographed" them in every particular, even to
ther clothing, boots etc. They spoke but ttle only
tc answer questions, and their answers confused
and mixed. The smallest man asked "if there were
any little towns near and said they were "going to
Chicagon The largest man asked if 'ths was Mich
lgan." The men were foot, no satchel or bundle
of any kind. The evening was very dark, the road
by Mr. Ruple's running nearly. east and west. The
next morning went out, and found by their'tracks
that they Came from the west, and continted east
or rather northeast for half mile above the road
took that direction. From what got out of them
think they were heading for Canada I am sure they
will yet be caught. No person once see them
without "spotting" them as 'bushwackers"

Bible Society Operations in this State
and County.

The affairs of the Bible Society in this State
show condition of more than usual prosper
ity. They are conducted through twenty.one
well sustained County Associations, covering
the entire field. The annual meetings, which
are held with regularity, are generally largely
attended, and have become occasions of great
popular interest, eminent civilians as well as
clergymen bearing part in the proceedings.
The benevolent object of these efforts is first
to supply our own people, native-born and
foreign, with the Sacred Scriptures, and then
to aid the American Bible Society in its great
work of Bible distribution in this and in other
lands. In addition to the twenty-one County
Societies there are ten smaller Societies, max
ing thirty in all in this State. Through these
the following aggregate results are reported
for the year ending on the 1st instant, viz: !:
Families visited, 29,456. Destitute families
supplied with the Bible, 1,763. Transient
persons supplied, 544. Sunday Schools
(mostly missionary supplied, 234. Volumes
received from New York during the year, 49,
984, of which were given to poor and destitute
persons about 5000. Entire receipts for the
year, $3O,5S0 70. The distributions and con-
tributions have been largely in advance of any
previous year. isit ~
The cause is well cared for in Cumberland
County, ourpeople showing it favor from year
to year. The last Anniversary of the Cumber-
land County Bible Society, at neerield, was
we'll attended. The present officers are !;
President, Judge L. Q. G. Elmer.
Secretary, Hon. joint. Nixon.
Treasurer, James L. Whitaker, Esq.

CARPEFTERS UNION.

The carpenters and joiners of this city
will organize local carpenters union in
Bridgeton on the 7th inst. The object
of the organization is for the promotion
of the welfare of the carpenters and join
ers. They do not contemplate strike at
this time for higher wages or less num-
Der Of hours to constitute days work.
1t is to be hoped they may work harmo-
niously with their employers and have a
perfect understanding, and tha4 -stnlng
may retard the erection of buildings in
this city which are so much needed at
4,:-.-Ev We trust that plenty of work
and good wages may be the lot of the
carpenters of Bridgeton for long time
to come.

RUSSIA?

1t is now said that the Russian posses
sions, recently purchased by us, are to
be paid for by the transfer of old iron
clads. This is probably profitable bar
gain for both sides. They possessed lot
of frozen possessions which they did not
want, and we possessed a lot of old iron
clads which ace did not want and SO on
the whole the articles transferred in
either case were those of which the own.
ers were only too happy to get rid, in
order to save the expense of keeping them
up. Which party got the best of the
bargain, if indeed either party did, it will
be very difficult to tell. a

SALE OF CHEsTER.-We learn that Mr.. David
Bonner has sold his Hambletonian stallion.
Chester, to A. W. Markley, Esq.,, of Camden,
N. j., for large sum. This young horse
has been exercised in the park for the past
three or four weeks, and many of cur readers
have noticed him and remarked his extra :
ordinary beauty. He is blood bay, with the
characteristic form Of the Hambletonian stock.
His dam was by Young Bellfounder grandam
by Henry, who ran the famous race with
Eclipse, and who sired American Star 1t
will be seen that he draws the traditional
strains of trotting blood from sire and dam
He is but four years, and has never been on a
track or had days training; nevertheless, he
can show gait which foreshadows perfor-
mances not unworthy of bis lineage.
The above notice from W'slkes' Spirit of the
Times, than whom there is no better authority
in all matters pertaining to valuable horse
flesh, will be read with interest by all persons
in our State who feel an interest in the i'm
provement in the blood and speed of these
noble animals. Mr.. Markley is one of our
most prominent public spirited gentlemen, and
deserves great credit for introducing a horse
of this character into New Jersey. When but
+
q year old, Chester took the first premium at
the Hartford fair, and Mr.. Bonner who was
then his owner refused at that time 81, 500
for him. Chester is beautiful blood bay of
the Hambletonian stock and his sire commanded
at one time over $100, 900, and sired colts at
$500 each. His dam was by Young Bellfound-
er who was deemed worthy to run with the
celebrated Eclipse. He is now about four
years old, and although has never been on
the track or been favored with any special
training yet he attracted the attention of all
the sporting men in Central Park in New York
as horse whose extraordinary powers would
make their mark upon the sporting annals of
our land. He is now upon the farm of Mr..
Isaiah P. Goldey near Pemberton. in Burling-
County, though not at present in the market
as stallion Mr.. MarkIy deserves public
CONNIE ndation for his spirit in this enterprise
and we hope to see his noble horse on exhi-
bition ut the next fair of Cumberland Co.

Annual Meeting of the Camden & Am.
bow r, r, Co..

The Annual meeting of this company
was held at Bordentown, on Saturday
last and resulted in the election of the
old board Of directors with Mr.. VIM. H.
Gatzmer as president. We have before
expressed our sense of the eminent fitness
of Mr.. Gatzmer for this position, and are
glad to find that his occupancy of the
position thus far has only deepened the
appreciation of the gentlemen who form
the directing power of the road. Mr..
Ashbel Welch, the general president of
the consolidated companies was present
and stated the past policy of the compa-
ny to have been the establishment Of diff
ferent lines of travel between the great
cities of New York and Philadelphia SO
that different kinda of business might
be more easily developed, while the coun-
try was more fully opened to the facili-
ties Of travel, and announced that the
arrangements for the future of the road
contemplated the same line of policy in
the perfecting of the already existent
works and creation of new lines as the
public needs might require. This policy
was endorsed by unanimous vote of the
directors as the one to which the road
should stand committed, and it will no
doubt receive the hearty appreciation Of
the public. It was stated also that the
company paid annuities to persons who
have been injured upon the road, and
this too without the compulsion Of law.
The meeting was concluded with speech
from Mr.. Gatzmer, in which the facilities
Tor transportation in the olden time were
contrasted with those of the present age,
and G. & A. R. R. Co. shown to be one Of
the first class roads of the country. The
report Of the meeting is full Of valuable
suggestions, and in another issue we hope
to discuss it more fully than our space
allows us to do in this.
