Detection of Pulgar's Troops-PuIgar and
Fifteen Adherents Seek Refuge on Board

clined-More RevOlfs.
CURRACAs, Nov. 8, 1869.
On the 23d ult the government forces, to o con-
siderable number, made their appearance before
Maracabo. As soon as the troops got wind OF this
they deserted Pulgar mdSse, ana hOisted white
flag. Pugar naturally alarmed for his safety sought
refuge on board the British steamer Cherub, then in
port. Fifteen OF his adherents accompanied him.
On their first making application the commander
of the Cherub refused to receive Them but on their
agreeing subsequently to being dsarmed, he yielded
to their request for protection.
Very shortly after this arrangement had been ef-
rected the government steamer Bolivar appeared in
sight, and on Pulgar's being aware OF this he man.
aged to opportunity OF privately convers-
ing with one OF his followers This man. who was
named Garcia, thereupOh requested permission OF
the commander to go on shore. At first this request
was not granted, but afterwards permission was
given and boat with two men sent to convey Garcia
on Shore
aroused, and the boat was narrowly watched from
the time OF her leaving the ship. When they had
nearlpreached the shore the sailors were observed
TO cease rowing, whereupon the commander put or
In boat for the purpose OF overhauling them. ON
the boats approach Garcia rose up In the stern Of
his boat ana fired at the commander, the ball pass-
ing close to his head, The commander made stroke
at Garcia with his sword, ana inflicted q severe
wound In the lace. Garcia being thus disabled, the
commander proceeded to inquire into the cause of
the boats stopping, and learned that Garcia had
ordered the sailors TO take him on board the Bolivar
instead OF on shore. This the sailors had positively
refused to do.
Garcia was then secured and taken on board the
CheruD az prisoner. 1t was the intention OF the
commander to hang him as pirate but as Garcia
said he had important revelations to make his life
was spared. The purport OF these revelations was
to the effect that Pulgar aud his fifteen adherents
had intended to seize the Cherub-for what object
does not at present appear.
Pulgar and his followers were summoned aft ana
told In pretty plain terms that they deserved hang

them, either TO be taken TO Jamaica and tried there
as pirates by court martial to be bound and de-

TRADE AND RENTING SYSTEM.

Half the world rides through life on
the shoulders of the other half, COM
mercial as well as political trulsm.
Probable losses in business from "bad
debts " are, as we all know, averaged,
and put upon the prices; that IS to say,
the responsible and honest part of the
community not only pay their own ex-
penses, but those of the irresponsible
and dishonest. OF course credit is I'M
necessary to commerce; and the result
ing evil of high prices cannot be laid to
thecharge of the credit system ''per Sc,
but the reckless abuse of it. Most pet
ty tradesmen would rather risk run
ming account with some bullying pre-
tentious fellow, of whose responsibility
they know nothing, but who never
questions their exhorbitant prices, than
have the steady patronage of " closer"
man.
There is nothing your tradesman de-
spises like " niggardness " in his Gus
toners, and so long as he can charge
them all double profit, he can afford
to lose by the lordly few who are not
"mean," and don't pay. Or take the
current topic of rents; to judge from
appearances, most landlords would rath-
er squeeze out 80, 900 year for house
which would pay well ut 81 800, and
never collect the fourth quarters rent,
than to let it for 81 800 to trustworthy
tenant. A large proportion OF the
dwellings leased in and around New
ark last year, We're not paid for accord
ing to the written agreement, q quar-
ter's rent was lost, or there was much
cost of time, trouble, and legal or
agents expenses in running for the due.
But what remedy suggests itself to
most landlords To gather a good and
permanent tenantry at fair return for
capital ? No, but to take the men who
offer most, if that "most" be enough
to cover possible loss of month or q
quarters rent. In this way, prices range
high, the good tenants have no advan-
tage over the irresponsible, and the lat.
ter ride on the formers shoulders. A
man who does not intend to pay any
more of his rent than he can help, cares
little how high the rent may be. He
will delight the landlords heart by the
profuse liberality of his proposals; but
some tenant who pays can hereafter gel
a similar house only at similar rate
