Our valued contemporary the Age has got
into trouble, we are sorry to perceive. A
X. K K is after it with big bowie knife,
the life of the age is in danger, and it is
obliged in addition to submit to various op-
probrious epithets calculated to disturb the
equanimity of its editors. While commits
Grating our contemporary upon the trouble
that has befallen it, we cannot but point to
this occurrence as warning. The Age has
hitherto figured as the apologist and not
always feeble supporter of the X. X. K,
which was all very pleasant while those mys-
terious letters were merely signs of terror and
midnight massacre to the loyalists of Ten
nessee, but it is quite horse of another color
when they turn up here in Philadelphia to
torment their friends.
The terrible offense which the Age has
committed consists in the publication of alibel
upon the memory Of the first Napoleon, upon
which an ardent, and evidently Irish, admirer
of that great man denounces the Age in the
following eloquent language:-
''FOr this signal offense your life is already in
danger now want TO tell you what / thing of you
are squirt OF the first water mean the gutter you
are also liar"
We cannot but reprobate such expressions
under any circumstances. They are certainly
nhgentlemanly in the extreme, but then the
y: NJ " not celebrated for gentlemanly
breeding, and it certainly seems like poetioal
justice that our Copperhead contemporary
should become the first victim of the Ku-
Klux Klan in these parts. We hope that the
Age will manage to tide over its present trou-
bles without loss of life or limb. for we
should be sorry to miss it from our files JUS.

CHICAGO is plagued by rats in general, and
by dead rats in particular. The ST. Louis
papers intimate that the Chicago grain is so
villainous that when the rats eat it they die,
and therefore think that the capital of the
United States should be removed from Wash
ington to st. Louis. The New York Tribune
is so stupid that it cannot see the force of
this argument, and consequently is in favor of
removing the capital to New York. There
are no rats worth mentioning, dead or alive,
in Philadelphia, and hence why not set up
the capital here, where it first was, and where
it should have been suffered to remain?

THE cASE or HAGGKRTY.

The case of Jimmy Haggerty was brought up
in the Court of Quarter Sessions again yester-,
day. and the motion of the District Attorney
to continue the case on account, OF the alb
sence of witnesses was granted BY. Judge
Brewster. The counsel of the pr1soner>put
on record their objection, as a preliminary to,
procuring the release of Haggerty under the
o-term rule. The tactics of the defense in
this case show how the ends of justice are de-
feated oftentimes in favor of some of the
most desperate scoundrels that infest the
community. The witnesses of the Common
wealth whose testimony would certainly con-
vict Haggerty have been spirited away,
and the impossibility of discovering
their whereabouts is made q pretext for
securing the release of the prisoner without
trial. The whole affair is a bold and un-
blushing attempt to prevent this desperate
from being punished as he deserves; and
while the peculiar line of defense adopted
may be acknowledged as perfectly legitimate
within the precincts of the Court of Quarter
Sessions, outsiders who only know the Quarter
Sessions by reputation, and who have old
fashioned ideas about law and justice, cannot
but be scandalized. There seems to be a
decided disposition on the part of the Court
and the District Attorney to have Haggerty
brought to trial before he has another
chance to plague the community,
and it is sincerely to be hoped
that they will manage to keep him fast in Jail
until he and his counsel are tired of playing
with justice and consent to the case being
tried in a proper manner If Haggerty's
counsel can resort to all manner of technical
bubbles to delay his trial, and if possible pro-
cure his release, we hope that the District
Attorney will, if necessary, resort to similar
tactics, and stretch the law to its utmost to
keep the prisoner in custody. The Common
wealth has Haggerty in its clutches now, and
it ought to keep him there at all hazards.

WHO WOULDN'T BE DIPLOMAT ?-At the
latest advices by mail from the German water
ing-place known as Neutrality-suspicious., the
Hon. Elihu B. Washburne, American Minis
ter to France, was among the guests. So
was the Hon. Andrew G. Curtin, American
Minister to Russia. So was the Hon. John
Jay, American Minister to Austria. So was
the Hon. j. Russell Jones, American Minister
to Belgium. These distinguished and hard
working diplomats were all entertained at
dinner in the famous Kursaal, by an eminent
banking firm of Franllfort-o on the Main, on a
certain Friday evening. The report states
that ladies were present. that many toasts
were drunk, and that some speech-making
was INDUCED in. Something is evidently in
the wind at Homburg Perhaps the world is
soon to be startled by the grandest outburst
of American diplomatic genius on record.
We shall see what we shall see.

UNHAPPY Boston Hitherto we had labored
under the belief that Gilmore the Jubilator,
had first opened his marvellous eyes at the
Hub. But Gilmore, we regret to announce,
first opened his eyes in Europe Of the rare
honor of giving birth to such discordant
genius, Boston was robbed by an unpropi-
tious fate. And now, having gotten up the
greatest racket that ever was gotten up since
the world began, and having realized both
fame and fortune thereby, Gilmore has gone
to Europe, not, as we had supposed, for the
sole purpose of permitting the people of that
section of the world to gaze upon him with
admiration, but simply for the sake of visit
ing the place of his birth. The jubilee hav-
ing shattered his health somewhat he will
also look a little towards re-establishing it.
He may also, perhaps, pick up some talent
which will be available for concerting pur-
poses on his return. But he will not engage
in anything looking towards another jubilee,
and especially towards jubilee at New York
or at any other village outside of Boston.
Whereat Boston is glad, and gives vent to her
gladness.

Gents "A persistent but unsuccessful effort was
made on the night OF May 30, 1869, to drill the
Bankers chest received from you few months ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge, it is
evident that the attempt to open it was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to
drill it useless, the effort then made to break the
lock. The hammering was heard by parties in the
neighborhood for several hours, but supposing 1t to
arise from the railroad men replacing defective
rail- excited no alarm. The TOOLS with the exception
OF the drills were left 1t is evident that they were
not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the
construction of your Chest.
That they failed is another evidence that your
