TIE BALL SEASON.
ceptiou.

The ball season may now be considered to be fairly
inauguracd. The votaries of the nmble Terpschore,
and they number thousands, from now until the re-
turn OF warm weather will remain plunged In the
blissiu delights OF the giddy waltz and the fascnat
ing intrcacies Of the tresome German and the more
staid and sober Lancers. Our naodistes are all busy
engaged night and day constructing rare and beaut-
full toilets for the adjournment Of Gotham's lovely
daughters, and the perfumed tonsoria disciples are
Just busily employed in puzzling their brains with
ncw-fangied twists, plaits curls and curousy
contrived chignons for the GROWING glory
of the fair ediaccs. Tickle fashion during
the winter months generally toys with her victims
with wantonness which Is truly refreshing; bat
nowhere does she display such marvellous power
and fantastic waggeres as In the ballroom. There,
rugged out in all the fancfu toggery Of the latest
modes, her dutiful worshippers prance and whir
about over the polished noor and shiver and shake
and pcrspre IN thin slippers and decoiee satins and
silks catching dreadful colds and otherwise enjoy
ing themselves 10 the dulcet strains OF consumptive
anu other music. This year the ball season opens

Most ballrooms ore already engaged for every
might iromthe present time until far into March and
April SO II VIII be seen that there are lively times
ahead for heels and toes AZ well hearts, despite
the financial policy OF President johnson.
Among the balls which have already been held
the receptions OF the seventh and Twenty-s
regiments take precedence FOR fashion beauty and
iudicious management. Tho Charity Bali will be

the annual bal OF the Fire Department. Among the
other entertainments OF this kind announced to
come or during the present season are the balls Of
the Light Guard, Americas Club Lindsey Blues

La Cotcrie Club and the Neptune Club. Besides
these there are nm infinite number OF smaller but
none the less ENJOYABLE reunions and soiree5 or mill.

place, that upon the whole New 0rk promises to
be rather lively In the matter OF balls for months to
come which, I'm addition TO the pleasure Afforded Will

which. after ALL may be reckoned as so much good

An ALLEGED THIEF BROUGHT FROM prrssuaa.

On the 9Th OF December Justice Ledwith, OF this
CITY, on petition OF James A. Lynch, No. GO East
Twelfth street. issued q warrant for the arrest OF
one George II. Hemming, whom he charged with
stealing from a friend OF his, to whom he loaned
them, a pair or diamond earrings valued at $500.
The particulars OF the case were OF u peculiar
character ana so detailed to officer Aaron
r. Young OF the Eighteenth precinct, who was
empowered three days thereafter with the necessary
authority from Governor Fenton to proceed TO Pitts
burg. Pa, where Hemmng was residing aud dong
business az the agent OF Kate Fisher, the actress.
This place he immediately started for, but was CON-
pellcd 10 stop at Harrisburg to obtain necessary
documents from Governor Geary. where he
was detained three days. Meanwhile the friend
OF Lynch, who lost the diamonds, had pro-
ceeded to Pittsburg and upon his arrival apprised
Hemming OF what was In store for him, when his
friends anticipating detective Young's arrival, OBJ
tained writ Of nabeas corpus; but, rather to the
alleged theirs cnagrtn, just as 1t was being served

THREE MORE BY LYNCH LAW. We have the
news that the four express robbers lately con-
fined in Jail at New Albany, Ind, were taken
out the other day by the vigilance committee
from Seymour and hanged. This batch, we be-
lieve, makes seven of the express robber gang
thus unlawfllly disposed of by this Seymour
posse of vigiants All this, too, in Indiana.
Is it surprising, then, that in the Southern
States, laid waste and demoralized by the war,
society is in some measure regulated by the
Ku Klux Khan, and that the Khan is only re-
strained by the soldiers baypnet? The truth
is that the general demoralzations resulting
from the war, in every shape and form, and
the general tendencies to frauds, robberies,
spoliations, corruptions and crimes of all sorts
have natural tendency to vigilance commit
tees. In truth, from the present appearance
of things, we know not how soon some Of these
dreadful and remorseless committees may
spring up east Of the mountains. When rings
of public robbers, for instance, continue from
month to month and from year to year to snap
their fingers at the law Judge Lynch is apt at
last to be called to the rescue.

How Railroad Wars are Settled.

How Railroad wars are Settled
When the Erie Railroad war which ragged
in the dog days last summer was finally settled
by treaty of peace between the belligerents
and the evacuation of the Jersey fort the
terms of the treaty did not transpire. They
are now brought to light by a suit brought by
the Erie Railway Company, plaintiff, against
Cornelius Vanderbilt, President, for the re-
cOvery OF four and half million dollars. It
is alleged that by the terms of settlement the
former president, vice president and directors
of the company, in Consideration of settle
ment of the actions then brought against them,
paid to the defendant two million and half
in cash and one million and quarter in bonds
of the Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad
Company, belonging to the Erie Railway, in
consideration of fifty thousand shares of Erie
Railway stock, and also one million dollars in
cash, without any lawful, valuable or sufficient
consideration" 1t is claimed by the plaintiff
in the present action that the former officers
of the Erie Railway Company had no right to
pay out of the company's funds SO liberal
price for peace, even though it released the
prosecuted officers from the tolls of the law
and enabled them to eat their mutton at their
own tables, instead of trusting. to the hospi-
talities of Jersey hotel.
