The Baltimore sun Of this morning says OF the re-
turn OF EX-Minister Johnson
The North German steamsip ohio, Captain Bosse,
having on board the Hon Reverdy Johnson late
Minister TO England his wife and son. arrived at this
port yesterday morning. The cordial satisfaction
with which the people OF his own state and city wei
come Mr.. johnson on his return to this country is
increased by the pleasure of seeing the
veteran jurist and statesman looking
hale and vigorous after the ordeal of a sea
voyage and the more trying political buhetings
to which he has been subjected in his efforts to pro-
mote amcabe adjustment OF the questions at
issue between Great Britain and the United States.
Mr. johnson looks as if he might live long enough
yet to the establishment Of perpetual bond of
peace between the two countries on the fundamental
elements of his own action. Indeed, the friendly
response with which the English journals acknow
ledge the concatOry tone Of our new minister's
addresses is in itself indication OF tho result Of
Mr.. Johnson's labors to cultivate friendly
feeling in Great Britain for the United States on
the eve OF his departure from Southampton, Mr.
johnson, in reply to an invitation to the banquet,
said IN letter to the Mayor, 81 shall return to my
home with the assurance that the amicable relations
between the two nations not TO be seriously dis
turbed" And he finds on his arrival, that the tenn
porary excitement both sides of the Atlantic has
subsidized under the influence of the adoption by Mr..
Motley OF the same-as inspired, OF course, at Wash
ngton-ratonal and pacific spirit towards kindred
nation which was manifested by Mr. johnson.

GEORGE PEABODY.
What is said Of his Anticipated Return to this


What is said Of his Anticipated Return to this
The Liberal Christian, announcing the speedy re-
turn OF George Peabody to spend the remainder of
his days in his native land, forcbly adds
''We sincerely hope that he will be spared the
necessity Of living under lock and key to protect
himself from beggars, aud Of keeping a private
secretary to burn the appeals to his generosity sent
through the mails. Having given away seven mil
lions two hundred and five thousand dollars in
money, at a gold valuation, for public and charitable
purposes he has certainly earned the privilege Of
spending the remainder of his useful life as he
OF his fortune to whom and what he will, He has
set noble example to our rich men, and has done
more than any one to make public spritedness and
beneGCenCe popular. We are largely indebted TO
him for the public sentiment I'm favor OF Charity-a
sentiment which grows with what il feeds upon, and
resist its demands We hope our people will not
punish him for his munitiConCe by teasing MIN for
more and greater gifts thus doing what they can to
neutraliZe the force of his example
''Many rich men are deferred from acts OF gene
rOsy by the fact That no sooner ls u known that q
man is generous than he il beseged with an army Of
mendcants, and his dOOr-bell Is rung to pieces, MS
countngrOOm is filled with INSCRIPTIONS applicants,
and his steps are dOgged by men who make up in
impertinence what they lack in everything else. The
few rich men who are generous Notwithstanding the
evil il exposes them to and the trouble it tnCurs are
all the more deserving OF respect and gratltude II
we would have class OF generous, pubHc-splrted
rich men, must see to it That the path OF benel-
CCnCe is not hedged about with too many thOrns, aud
made impossible with unnecessary distractions.
But the worst beggars are not paupers VINO ask
for few pennies to buy breakfast or Loaf
OF bread. They are men and women who
solicit endowments for impecunious institutions,
and make appeals for all sorts OF causes They
are respectable people who have mission and
sacrifice all their own modesty and make everybody
else miserable in its behalf. They are the religious
beggGrs who have sectaran axe TO grind or an ec
Clesiastcal object to further. When men beg on
their own account they are somewhat retcent and
humble; but the respectable solicitor for sectarial
enterprise throws away all such weaknesses, and
when once fairly hold OF rich man Of known gene

Such people do more to make rich men unchartable

Back their Stolen Securities.

The Beneficial Savings Fund Society Receive
Back their Stolen Securities.
1t will be remembered by our readers that some
time since the ONCE of the Beneficial Savings Fund,
at the southwest corner Of Twelfth and Chestnut
streets, was entered 10y burglars who quietly and
systematically devoted the labors OF an entire Sun
day to the task OF opening and riiing the safe.
The total value OF the money securities, and other
valuables secured by the thieves was over 100000,
including $4,000 in greenbacks belonging to the
Society, and $4,000 in diamonds and about S25O,O0O
in securities belonging to outs ie parties, placed In
the custody OF the society for safe Keeping
AS soon as the loss was discovered large reward
was offered by the Society for the recovery OF the
stolen property. The directors also appointed
committee from among their number to make every
endeavor and all necessary arrangements for secur-
ing the return of the property. We are not familiar,
OF course, with the measures adopted by this COM
mittee for accomplishing their task but whatever
they they have at last been crowned with sue
cess. Last night the officers OF the Savings Fund
received by the Adams Express Company pack
age which, on examination, proved to contain nearly
everything that had been taken from the safe. All
the securities belonging to the society, and the
of this character which had been placed on
Qeposlt Tor safe keeping by outside parties, were
found IN good condition in the package. The only
tnmgs that were lacking were the $4,000 in green
Dacks ana the $4,000 worth of diamonds, which
cure in their safe.
