A COUNTY WORKHOUSE.

We rejoice that Union County has at
last an Aims House. But there is
another institution that is needed quite
as much as an Aims House. and that is
a Workhouse for the County, where
criminals committed by police magis
trates can be kept during the term of
of their sentences at some useful labor.
What sense is there in sendinga lot able
bodied men and women, and youth of
both sexes to the County Jail to lie
there from ten to ninety day in idleness :?
They might all be kept at some sort of
remunerative labor, and in this way the
taxes of the citizens might be dimin-
ished. There are plenty of occupations
at which prisoners labor is made to pay
is proved by ample experience. 1t
would be far better for the prisoners to
be employed in such work than to be
left as now entirely idle. We do not
know of any persons to whom the scrip
ture INDUCTION applies with more force-
"If any will not work, neither shall he
eat'-than to such criminals. But as
we treat our prisoners, it is not their
fault that they do not work while they
are undergoing the sentence of the law.
We do not give them any work to do,
and the fact, that most of them gel
back again into some place OF confine
nent soon after being released from
,ail, proves that for the idle hands in
prison, Satan finds something to do
they are left with all their leisure time
10 concoct new rogueries to be perpe
trated when they are set at liberty
Then there are others who are regular
rovoIvers," committing some offence
deliberately and with an intent of get
ting back to their old prison quarters
Ii they knew that while in prison they
would have to pick oakum, make drain
tile, bottom chairs, make shoes or be
kept close at some hard work, they
would not be so ready to get into Jail.
Let the subject be discussed and
measures be taken to provide a good
workhouse for Union county. Public
economy and the welfare of the crimi-
nails alike demand the establishment Of
such am institution. The MoNIToF
makest the motion. Who seconds it I?

Senator Cameron, i'll insisting that
the Senate should not hear the Presi-
dents Message read, took II proper view
of the dignity of that body. 1t is not
necessary that the ordinary forms OF
legislation should give point and en-
phasis to gross insult. 1t constantly
occurs that official documents are not
read, but ordered to be printed, and we
don't see why the Senate should be con-
sidered spiteful because it is unwilling
to sit still and hear Andrew johnson
abuse it.

The Military Committee of the
House has still some important and
delicate questions to consider, notwith-
standing the close Of the war. The Of
ficers of the army are making strenn-
Gus efforts for an increase of 33 per
cent. in their pay. The question of
abolishing brevet ranks has also to be
considered.

The Senate, it seems, are not wholly
pleased with the summary manner in
which the House disposed of the In
dian Bureau, and the reform will meet
with some opposition there, notwith
standing the recommendations of Gen.
Grant, Gen. Sherman, Gen. Sheridan
in its favor, and the notorious infamy
of the " Indian Ring.

who Is we'll known TO che police "A an expert and
most dangerous sneak and boarding house thief

Mrs. Weaver Is almost six feet In height has coarse
masculine features, mixed brown and gray hair and
large wart on her right cheek. Her plan OF opera
tons Is to call af house In which rooms are
advertised to rent and represent herself as a widow
She is most accomplished conversationist and lar
and generally succeeds in creating good impression
and II taken on the strength OF her genteel appear
ances and plausible representations. She does not
remain pery long In the house, and after she leaves
there Is always large quantity OF property missing
but no clue is left by which the thief be success
fully traced At 1853 Allen street she boarded week,
and then disappeared with some gentlemen's clothing
and furnishing goods. At No. 20 Ridge street she
boarded three days, and then disappeared with about
$40 worth Of dress goods and jewery. Az the house
OF Mr.. George, 21 East Twentyhrst street she hred
furnished room, and In day or two after en WIN
