4 CHICKEN TnTEF.-Yesterday morning
about o'clock, the chicken coop OF officer
Lawler, Of the Seventh precinct, was entered
and robbed Of twenty-five chickens, known
as the Spanish breed, and quite valuable.
officer Lawler, susplcioning colored man
named Edward Dickson, went TO his house,
and taken to the station house, and shortly
after the officer arrested Edward Dickson,
her husband, whom he Gagged also. Upon
being questioned, Dickson admitted that he
stole the chickens, but thought they belonged
to colored woman, who owed him az, and
that he took the birds to settle the bill. He
did not state what disposition he made OF
the rest OF the fowls, and the officer conls-
Gated the four defunct birds that had been
prepared for tho pot by Mrs. Dickson. The
accused parties are held for hearing before
Justice Schmidt.

President Grant on West virginia
Affairs.



Tho Wheeling InteHigsnev of Wednesday
morning says:
In brief conversation yesterday between
two or three Of our citizens and President
Grant the address recently Issued by the Re-
publicans Of this county was referred to, and
some explanations were made to His Excel.
lency respecting the character of those by
whom 1t was put forth and the purpose OF
tho general movement of which 1t was an
exponent aud part. Tho President said that
he had read the address referred to, and so
far as no understood our local affairs he
thought the policy advocated In II was "right
and proper" He thought discrimination on
account of participation In the rebellion
should now cease, and referred to the fact
that, acting upon this idea, he had " af.
forded the people Of Virginia and Mississippi
an opportunity to throw overheard the OBJ
noxlous clauses Of their constitutions" en-
forcing such Determinations. He said care
should be taken to avoid division among the
Republicans, such as had happened in Ten
nessee; but he thought the ideas advocated
In the Wheeling address were "about right"
Being asked If he had any objection to
having his approval of those ideas made
known, he replied that II would be improper
for him to interfere In any way in our local
politics; and he did not want to be mixed up
with them. But this expression of his views
