A Jerseyman Outwitted

A cunning trick was performed
at Newark, New Jersey, one day
last week. A stranger, pre-
tending to be tipsy, slipped on the
step in front of a machinery ware
room near the depot and broke a
large plate glass window. The pro-
prietors demanded payment, but
the man pretended that he had no
money. One Of the partners then
proposed that the culprit be search
ed. This was done and the owner
of the window was rewarded by
finding one-hundred dollar bill
in his pocket. He Immediately
changed the bill, and after taking
out twenty dollars for damages,
handed the inebriate eighty dol
lars. To this the stranger made
no objection, but staggered off and
was soon lost to sight. In short
time the machinest had occasion
to make a deposit, and the one hun
dred dollar bill was sent to the
bank. It was returned as coun-
tcrfeit. The stranger has not
been seen since, and, if arrested,
he could not be prosecuted, as he
did not attempt to pass the BILL
This is a new "dodge."

Restitution.

The New Orleans Ptcayune
of the End instant, says:
The decision of the Supreme
Court, communicated to US yes
terday from Washington, com
pletely sets aside all the confs.
cations decreed by the United
States District Court for louisa
ma during the last four years.
Proceedings ia rem, for disloyalty,
are therefore all illegal and void,
and the property thus condemned
can all be recovered back from the
present possessors.
There will be doubtless much
hiding of spoons and furniture,
and other portable things thus
procured in times past, and yet
remaining hid, and many trafick-
ers in spoil will leave for places
more secure wherein to hide their
gains; but real estate, which can
not run away, will necessarily go
back into the hands of its former
possessor.

The good people of Antwerp, in
Belgium, recently became alarmed
at the rapid and mysterious man.
ner in which their dogs were dis
appearing. These disappearance
were so numerous that special
efforts were made to nnravel the
mystery, and the result was the
arrest of two persons. who turned
out to be dog stealers by profess
sion. They confessed that during
one year they stole no less than
200 dogs, the skins of which, sold
to toy-makers, went for the manu-
facture of children's drums; the
grease made excellent pomade, and
the carcasses were passed through
the sausage making machines. So
at once became incredu-
lous on the sausage question, and
dogs thereafter held
charmed lives.

An Effort to Quiet an Up
braiding Conscience.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says,
Judge POLAND, one of Vermont's
representatives in Congress, writes
a letter to justify his vote on i'm
parchment. 1t is the effort of a
guilty conscience trying to quiet
its upbraidings. He acknowledges
the shock to Republican institu-
tons the impeachment involves,
but has, SO he says, no fears of
''present political evils" from it !;
and trusts that ''no political lesson
will be taught by it except that,
under our Constitution, the Gov
eminent is in the hands of the peo-
pie" The statesman that sows
evil in the expectation that it will
not produce its like, is filter for a
lunatic asylum than legislative
hall. This letter, we have said,
is an effort to quiet an upbraiding
conscience. Judge POLAND was
asked the day after the articles of
impeachment had been adopted,
and for which he voted, how he felt
after yesterdays work, when he
replied: 'Ifeel asst l had impeach-
ed myself" Every honorable,
conscientious man would have felt
in the same way.

Merited Fate.

The Cambridge (Md.) Democrat
thus alludes to the infamous wit
nesses for the Government upon
whose testimony an innocent wo-
man, Mrs. Surratt, was murdered
upon the gallows, by the order of
an illegal packed military tribunal.
1t says:
"Conover, the particular friend
and associate of Ashley, is now re.
siding in the Penitentiary; Clea.
yer has been once convicted of an
infamous crime, and is awaiting a
new trial; Baker is an absconding
criminal and fugitive from justice.
and Richard Montgomery has been
arrested, and is to be tried for en-
bezzlement and swindling."
And Preston King, who, it is
said, prevented Miss Anna Sur
raft from having an interview with
President Johnson on the morning
/. her mother was executed, commit
ted suicide a few months after, by
throwing himself into the Hudson
River. There arc others in the
bloody drama who will have for
tunes equally bad with those al
ready spoken of There is a retri
button always in the moral as well
as in the physical world for those
who commit outrages against hui
mainly, and sin against the laws
of justice.

Wayne Van Tuyl, a brakeman,
