WANTED--A7 VIGILANCE CoMMIrrEE.-l
While we are uncompromising advocates
of peace, quiet and good order, we never
theless feel constrained at times to lean to
the side of summary dealings with con-
firmed edlaw-breakers, whose sole time seems
to be occupied in devising and carrying
out schemes of rascality, There can be
no doubt that there now exists In this city
an organized gang of scoundrels, who are
making a business of systematic burglary,
and who BY their persistent and successful
attempts to enter the dwellings Of our cit
izens 10 q foreible manner, are becoming a
terror to all law abiding people. They ap-

lowing them up to their haunts, and in

native of recording their misdoiugs, with
out SO muctas the pleasure of announcing
that there Is q prospect for their capture
and punishment. Elsewhere, we give in,
this days paper, accounts of no less than
eight burglarious operations in this city on
Friday night last. We were asked by some
