THE Poor SouTH.-A Washington letter
tells how the South is to be plucked:
"The prosperity of the South warrants
the statement that the. internal revenue re-
CENTS from that section will be nearly fftv
rcr cent. greater for the present fiscal year
than FOR the last year. Among the modif-
cations al the revenue law that will un-
doubtCdly be recommended to the next Con-
rrcss will be a tax o. one cent per pound on
cotton. Il is believed that such a tax will
Weld fully fifteen millions of dollars for n
wear. This it is presumed is cogitatcd with
\ view of relieving northern manufactures,
and would find favor with congressman to
the extent Of enabling them TO repeal that
rortion Of the law imposing special taxes.
THE Ono Observation-Disclosures and
wcll-informed Ohio politicians who have
arrived in Washington say the Republicans
are sure to carry Ohio by a larger majority
than was given General Grant last year.
On the contrary, the Democrats claim
TINT OHIO and Pennsylvania will go for the
Democrats.
Secretary Cox has appointed o colorcd
man on the examining corps Of the Patent
O.hcc.
In Washington, Tuesday night, at a meet
ing Of The journcymcn House Carpenters

CINCINNATI, September 15.-The city re-
sidcnce of Mr.. Briggs Swift was entered at
an early hour yesterday morning by bur-
glars. The thieves secured in the house q
bunch Of keys, three in number ; with
these keys they gained admission to tho in
terror Of the safe in Mr.. Swift's pork-house,
and made their escape with $3.50 in cash
and $4,000 worth of notes belonging to
Mr.. Swift. They evidently hurried from
the residence on Eighth street to the pork
house, passed themselves in, locked the
door, opened both doors of the safe, and
made their search in perfect safety. They
took from its corner q tin box, which
they laid down again in another place.
1t contained so, 900 in bonds, Of which
no note of numbers had been made, equal,
therefore, to s10,0 in cash. From q cash
drawer they took $3.50; from another
drawer they took bundles of paper repre-
s%enting to Mr.. Swift one hundred and
seventy-odd thousand dollars, and with
these and the cash in their possession made
their escape, taking the duplicate keys with
them. The list of bills receivable stolen
includes notes drawn in favor of Briggs
Swift and by many of our most prominent
and wealthy commission men. One of
these is for s26, 900, two for $4,000 each,
several for $4,000 and $4,000 each, and
the twenty others in smaller sums.
