NEws.-The Rim Union charges the
radical Rump at Washington, with having
practised economy in public expenditures.
If this was meant to be "sarcastical, its edi-
tor made better point than he is In the
habit of doing. 1t also says that the demo-
cratic party is the only one which ever at
tempted to violate the Constitution. We
recommend its editor to read few Of the
speeches of the dying swan" where he de-
clares that all the acts OF the radicals are
| being done "out-side of the constitution" and
makes tolerably able Justification of the
same In regard to the removal of the tax
of $S0,000,000 from the manufacturing ma
hobs of New England, by the Washington
Junta. We have only to remind him that this
will have to be paid by the masses, and that
when the radical 6ddlers play, they are very
careful to see that some one foots their bill.
1t wishes to know where democratic legis-
iatures ''get the right.to cut off half the peo-
pie from political rights" If by 'people"
he means white men, We would inquire in
what states this is being done, land would also
inquire where the radical congress gets the
| right to deprive half the nation of liberty,
independence, and representation. In re-
gard to the faithful performance of their
duties "by city and county officials, we
would respectfully refer the editor of that
| sheet to numerous of his own bills for board
| ing prisoners when he was. Sheriff, now on
file at the county archives.
RoBBERY.-On Saturday, German car
penter from Geneseo, H., came to this city
to purchase lumber and material for the
manufacture of furniture, having in his pos.
session about 5000. His story is briefly as
follows: After taking several glasses of
| beer, he called at Pierces saloon, and while
| there large woman came out of back
| room and put her arms around his neck, at
the same time asking him to treat. This he
| did, and then accepted an invitation to a
seat at a side table in the back room, where
| the woman treated him several times from a
| bottle. The last he recollects of their low
ing tefe a tete, was feeling sleepy, until he
found himself kicked out into the street. He
| says he had his money, then about $l75, in
| large pocket book, and a watch worth $25
| IN his pocket, both OF which are gone. He
| returned yesterday and asked for his watch
and money, and was told they knew nothing
about either. On saying that he had nc
money to pay for his dinner, he was told
that he could have oil he wanted to eat and
drink for nothing-a very kind offer, in.

this morning a. Justice Peters. IT'S the
old story, and the probabilities are that moth,
