JUVENILE BURGLARS.
Bold OperRtiOns-1heir Capture and Recover
of the Stolen PrOpPrty.


The art OF burglary, so far as Philadelphia is con-
cerned, is being rapidly adopted as livelihood by
the rising generation. But week or two ago num-
Der OF juveniles forced an entrance into the eXen-
sive hardware and cutlery establishment OF Messrs.
Buehler, Howard Co., 421 Markrt street. and alb
stracted therefrOm large and valuable lot OF cut
lery, which they carried TO New York for sale The
lads were soon after their return captured, and are
now in Moyamensing, awaiting trial. This, how
ever has not deferred others from following theireX
ample. Last night two boys named Joseph Riley
and Thomas Hasson, perpetrated q burglary that
will place them high in the temple OF their compa-
Mons in crime, and also in theiPententary. Running
off Filbert street, between Seventh and Eighth
streets is an alley which leads directly to the rear
OF the store No. 123 Market street, occupied by
John Melloy, tin manufacturer through this alley
the lads passed, and forcing door, effected an en-
trance to the store which they rarsacked from one
end to the other. What booty they obtained is at
present unknown but from their subsequent actions,
IL is evident that it was not TO them sufficient I'm

soon found themselves amidst tobacco, pipes, and
cigars With an eye to business, they at once com-
menced sorting out and packing up the most valua-
BILE portions OF the stock, and having gathered to-
gether about $500 worth or pipes and cigars, left
The fact Of the burgares having been committed
was not discovered until this morning, when the
occupants visited their respective establishments
BY some singularity OF circumstances the rascals
were destined for capture, for the sequel will
show, they ran straight into the jaws OF the law.
Between and O'Clock this morning, Detective
Miller and Special Oflcer Merito CHANGING to be in
the neighborhood Of Thirteenth and Market Streets
observed The two lads trudging along under the
weight Of the we-lled bags. They at once followed
and captured them IN pawn shop, which they had
entered for the purpose OF dsposing OF their pun
der, on Thirteenth street, below Vine. The officers
at once conducted them to the Central Station,
where Of their previous actions had been regis
tered, and examination showed that all but about
$50 worth OF Mr.. Flte's goods had been recovered.

A MOCK MARRIAGE BROUGHT TO
LIGHT.
An UnlaWidl Husband has his wife
Arrested for Larceny

A rather interesting case was brought
before Justice Wilkinson, acting Police
Commissioner, yesterday morning. The
facts derived from the case are as follows:
About three years ago man named James
B. Tierney married woman named Bar
bara Stafford. They lived pretty happily
together about seven miles from the city
until yesterday, when his wife needing
some pocket change gathered some corn
from the field and brought it TO the city
yesterday and disposed of it. Her husband
came 10 the city and had her and
another woman named Sallie Duncan ar.
rested on a charge of larceny. The
case was taken before the Commissioner,
and some very startling facts were de-
veloped. The unlawful husband swore
that she was not his wife in legal way.
Other witnesses testified that the marriage
was a mock marriage; that TierDey en-
ployed person to officiate as priest, anc
that they were married upon shan
license. After full investigation OF thu
case, the two women were discharged, anC
a warrant. was Issued for Tierney, charging

NASHVILLE, July l, 1S69.-To the peo-
pie of Davidson, Robertson, Montgomery
and Cheatham counties: Solicitations by
letter and in person received for the past
few weeks from every county in this foate-
rial district, and representative, ss | am
induced to believe, of the solid and sub
stanlial portion of the constituency, have
brought me forward as candidate for
your suffrage for seat in the next Legis-
lslure.
In obedience to these calls, hereby au-
nounce myself candidate, and propose
to meet assemblies Of the people on every
proper occasion before the 9Th of August
| do not affect that | do not desire to be
elected, though, for myself, | could more
profitably employ the time. But, belieV-
| ing that understand the immediate busi-
ness necessary for the promotion Of the
| interest of the people of the district and that
some previous legislative experience has
qualified me for the position, | offer myself.
am in favor of the most prompt action
that can be had by the Governor, the
Legislature, or the people in their soVer-
eign capacity under the Bill of Rights, or
| all conjoined, to secure the assembling Of
convention II tue tdIllcSL pTdCtICdUlh
moment, to amend the constitution and
laws, and remove all existing disabilities
in regard TO the elective franchise. The
most feasible plan conformable TO law, is
the beat, and the one will favor by vote
and voice. The privileges now enjoyed
by any portion of the community, do
not propose to disturb
The business interests of this constitu-
ency in several important features demand
| legislation. The mercantile community,
in my Judgment, needs a representative
who comprehendd their wants and sympa-
thise5 with their condition under present
laws. The general economic interests of
the people in every pursuit, while requir-
| ing broader and more liberal legislation,
should be under the discipline of stricter
statutes, and such measures shall receive
my support.
In this brief card, these are all the
points necessary to allude to, but in be-
cominga candidate expect to meet voters
Of every kind and deal frankly, and with
| this view, lay my name before you.

A negro man arrested and imprisoned
in this city the other dry for having too
many wives, complains that the govern
ment is not acting by him in good faith.
He received freedom and citizenship with
the distinct understanding that he was to
have AZ many rights as any other man,
and therefore thinks he ought to be allowed
to have az many wives as any body else.
Brigham Young, who lives under the
same government as himself, has as many
wives as he wants, and there is no talk OF
putting him in jail. The colored bigamlst
would like to know why this thusness is
thus, and who is responsible for this,
