Rurglary md Robbery.

On Friday night last, about eight
o'clock, burglar entered the dwelling
house of Mr.. G. H. Blood, on Union
street, below Third, and carried off lot
of valuable jewelry, number of yards
of black silk lace, pair of gold specta.
cles, purse containing fifteen dollars,
and several other articles Of value, the
whole amounting to nearly two hundred
dollars. The robbery was of the most
daring character, and was performed by
an artist in the profession Mr.. Blood
and family were at supper at the time
when his daughter who was in the sec
ond story of the dwelling, heard some one
in the front bedroom. She tried to enter
the room, but found the door locked on
the inside. She at once gave the alarm,
and when Mr.. Blood forced open the
door the robber was seen descending to
the street by way of the iron portico
which extends up to the second story in
front of the house. Several persons saw
him ascend to the sec ond story by climb
ing up this portico, but gave no alarm.
The robbery was com mitted on one OF
our principal streets, short time after
dark, in the most public and daring man.
Der, and the robber escaped with his
booty unrecognized. A negro woman
who saw him run down Union street says
he was white man and wore gray
clothes. No arrests have as yet been
made by the police.

showing an excess for November this
year over last year of l22, 767 bales The
gradual diminution of these receipts
since the 18th ult., is probably accounted
for by the fine weather for gathering the
crop, extending so late into the season,
of which, in anticipation Of an early and
Sudden adverse change, the planters
have availed themselves with most OF
their labor to the partial neglect of for
warding their crops to market. When
the winter fairly sets in we may there
fore expect a further increase Of these
receipts, at least through the months OF
December and January.
1t will also be noticed that our stocks
are more than double what they were a
year ago, while they are in excess at all
the ports, except New Orleans and Gal
weston, in the former Of which there is,
however, but a slight difference.
The business Of the month has been
large, both in spot cottons and contracts,
though in the latter something less than
in October. The prices for futures have
borne the usual relation to spots through
out the month, but the former claimed a
decided preference among dealers.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
An italian Confectioner shot.

About the hour Of ten last night, q
little man having on a black cap was
tleen lettering around the confectionery
establishment of p. Maggiolo, on Wash
ington street, between Main and Front
streets. Mr. Charles Brizzolara, who is
an employee in the establishment, states
that he was behind the counter, about
ten feet from the door, when he heard @
report of pistol, and was struck by the
ball The ball passed through the sleeve
of his coat, entered the flesh under the
shoulder blade, and passed out near the
spine, inhicting a severe but not danger
GUS wound. Mr.. Brizzolara seized sew
eral weights that were upon the counter
and threw them through the glass door
at the would-be assassin. The little man
ran down to Front street and disappeared
up an alley. Mr.. Brizzolara did not rec
otnize his assailant, and has had no diff
fculty with any person, so the cause O.
the attempted assassination remains q
mystery. No arrest has been made by
the police, as Mr.. Brizzolara could moi
describe the assassin. alt'

The famous Dexter, Captain j. II.

consequently she will go through on the

A Pittsburg telegram of the LIST says:
"The towboat Wild Cat struck rock

an easy position, and it is thought can
be raised without much trouble She be-

On her trial trip at Cincinnati, the
new steamer Charles Bodmann ran from
the foot of Broadway to Marks mill in
forty minutes, and, coming down, ran
below the foot of Fifth street in thirty
minutes, her speed being estimated at
ten miles per hour. Her wheels made
fifteen and half revolutions per minute
with one hundred and thirty pounds of
steam.

RUN OVER.
Another Case Of Reckless Driving.

Another Case of Reckless Driving.
About nine o'clock last night man,
driving buggy down Second street. ran
over Swiss at the corner of Second
and Union streets. The Swiss was cross
ing Union street at the time, and was
struck on the head by the shaft OF the
buggy. After running over the man, the
driver whipped his horse into n run
down Union street. A citizen, who tried
to stop him. received blow on the head
from the heavy whip Of the reckless
driver, who seemed determined to escape.
Officers Kuhnholst and Duffy, who were
on the beat, gave chase to the runaway
and fred two shots at him, but the fugi-
tive escaped. The Swiss, whose name
we we're unable TO learn, was severely
but not dangerously hurt. 1t is high
time this reckless driving was stopped.
The police should arrest every fast driver
seen on our streets. Pedestrians have
some rights which ought to be respected,
and fast driving on Main and Second
streets, especially late in the evening, is
becoming a nuisance which must be
abated. We have heard several citizens
say that they are determined to protect
themselves from these reckless and
sometimes drunken drivers. We would
not be surprised to hear Of some of these
fast characters getting shot while at
tempting to drive over some unfortunate
pedestrian who is compelled to cross the
streets at the risk of his life. We are
certain that our Recorder will severely
punish all parties brought before him on
the charge Of fast driving. The man
who shoots a reckless driver that at
tempts to run over him will receive the
congratulations of every respectable cit
izen in the community. Not only those
driving buggies have been violators of
law in this respect, but hackmen and
draymen drive furiously through our
streets after dark TO the great danger of
every man, woman and child ON our
streets,

GRAND BALL at Schooles' old Varietie
Theater tonight, December 8, 1870.

ROBBERY OF SAPE.-A negro named
Charles Crook, in the employ of Mr..
John Overton, as porter, was in the
act of robbing the safe belonging to Mr..
Oyerton, on Friday night last, when he
was arrested by Mr.. Charles Grosvenor,
book-keeper to Mr.. Overton. Crook had
opened the safe with false keys, and had
taken therefrom about three hundred
dollars, when he was arrested by Mr..
Grosvenor. Several sums of money had
been missed sometime before. and Crook
was suspected of committing the larceny.
Mr.. Overton's office is in the alley, in
rear of the Stillman Block, on Second
street. The negro was arrested and
confined in the Adams street station
house. This morning the Recorder sent
him to Jail in default of bonds for his
appearance before the Criminal Court.

OUR CHINESE POLICY

OOh CHlHhDh I-OLIC i.
FROM China comes the report of another
outrage upon foreigners in the shape of the
destruction of the Catholic mission buildings
in Pekin, and that the Government refuses 10
take any action to prevent such occurrences
in the future. 1t is not at all improbable
that when the full information of this affair
is received it will be but a repetition of the
story of the Tientsin massacre; and while
we believe in carrying out the Burlingame
treaty in letter and spirit, every consideration
of commercial interest as we'll as humanity
demands that some measures should be
taken by the United States in con-
junction with the other civilized powers, to
prevent such occurrences in the future, and
to make the Chinese understand that the
negotiations of Mr.. Burlingame will not
shield them from the indignation of the peo-
pie of America and Europe. The English
merchants and politicians both regarded Mr..
Burlingames mission with distrust and sus-
picion, and the Tientsin massacre gave them
a ready pretext to reiterate their first asser-
tions that he was either an impostor or that
he had easily permitted himself to be hood
winked by the Chinese. They contend now
with greater force than ever that the only
method of dealing with the Chinese is through
their fears, and while eagerly urging the ne
cessity for going back to the old bullying
system, they lose sight altogether of the fact
that the present troubles in China are but
the natural results of long series of outrages
perpetrated by English arms for the exten-
sion of English commerce and influence in
the East. AS English rule in India brought
about the Sepoy rebellion, with all its atrocities,
so English policy in China has produced its
natural fruits in the Tientsin massacre and
other similar occurrences so soon as the Chi
nese thought themselves free from the re-
straints that had so long been imposed upon
them. The expectation of coolies to the
United States and other parts of the
world was another exciting cause, and
it was this feature of Christian
intercourse with heather China that was
made use of to excite the population in the
case of the affair at Tientsin.
The Christian nations, therefore, cannot
hold themselves guiltless in case the preju-
dices of the Chinese culminate in indiscrimi-
nate massacre of foreigners and while the
most decided stand should be taken to pre-
vent such occurrences in the future, the peo-
pie of the United States in particular should
enter an emphatic protest against returning
to the old fire-and-sword method of settling
difficulties of every description that may arise
between the Chinese and the strangers who
visit their shores, at least until every other
effort to establish peaceable relations has
failed. We do not believe, however, that
there will be failure if there is sincere and
earnest desire to carry out Mr.. Burlingames
programme, and there will be much better
and more permanent results achieved if an
enlightened Christian policy is pursued, in
stead of one of barbarism, that will sink the
Christians who participate in it below the
victims
