BURGLARY.-On the night of the 22d Feb
ruary, the stable of Moylen Northrup, 5l5
East Town street, was broken open and
two sets of harness stolen therefrom. On
Sunday last one of the delegates to the
Homeopathic Convention in Cleveland was
dining with Mr.. Northrup and heard of the
robbery. On returning to- Cleveland the
gentleman saw an advertisement of harness
awaiting an owner at the Chief of Policies
Office and sent word here of the fact. Mr..
N. and others went at once to that city and
there found his harness, which had been
stolen by fellow calling himself John A.
Taylor, and offered for sale at one of the
auction stores there. 1t happened that the
detectives were on the wacth for some other
harness thief at the time, and gathered
Taylor in as matter of course. The prop
erty comprised one set of single and one
set of double harness, and is valued at $50.
Night before last Taylor was brought here
by detective Samuel Grove, and on hear
ing before the Mayor was charged with the
two offenses of burglary and grand larceny.
He waived an examination with the air of
an old hand, and was bound over in the
sum of $500 on each charge. In default he
went to board at the Hotel de la Domigan.

that the scroll work around the figures

the fine lines around the edges of the note
which form the bordering, while on the
genuine no part of the scroll work touches
the line. When these notes become worn

WASHINGTON, October 20.-From official sources
it Is learned that the case OF Jefferson Davis will
undoubtedly be tried neIt month, whother Chiof
Justice Chase shall preside or not. Each party
desires and expects Judge Chase to bear the case,
and there is at this time no good reason known
that would prevent his presence, should there be
no extraordinary delay in bringing the case before
tho court. But it is expected that the trial will
last for four or five weeks, thus running over =
part OF the term Of the Supreme Court, which
barely possible that Judge Chase may not feel
warranted in entering upon hearing, lest he shall
be prevented in the meantime from attending to
his imperative duties in the Supreme Court.
Legal questions OF vast importance arc prepared
for argument before the Circuit Court, which it il
desired shall be decided by the Chief Justice.
But rather than this case shall again be continued,
both parties aye represented as willing to submit
their points to Judge Underwood, trusting to
getting them before the Supreme Court finally by
writ OF error.
The Code Commissioners, Msssrs. Cushing
johnson and James, are prepared to make their
first report to Congress, and wiz submit the same
during tue first week OF the coming session.
Patent and military laws, which are greatly re-
duced and simplifed from the principal features
of the report.
General Grant reports that General Pope has
ordered that Captain Morris schaif commanding
the Unltod States arsenal at Mount Vernon, Ala
bama, be tried upon charge OF the murder OF
Frederick B. Shepard, citizen of that State. 1t
will be reconscted that the homicide grew out of
an acrimonious correspondence between Schaa
and Shepard, which ended in the atter challeng-
ing the former to fight duel Schaff had Shepard
arrested and brought within the arsenal, and, it
is alleged instantly shot him, the ball taking
effect in the neck Shepard fingered somo days
and died In the meantime, Scl,aif was tried before
a court-martial for conduct unbecoming an officer
and found guilty. These proceedings will be
annuled, and the trial for murder go on.
There is reason to believe the Secretary OF the
Treaury will appoint ]. E. Risley, Esq, deputy
commissioner OF internal revenue Oice Messmore,
removed. MIR. Hisley is lawyer and citizen OF
Indiana. He will take position in the bureau hers
instead of going to New York III Mr.. Messmores
place. and thus put an end to tho strife that has
been going on for some time to secure the office
and get control of the Metropolitan Revenue Board
in New York.
