1t has come to light, by the testimony
Of Werles and Furniss, before the Com
hitting Court, that John NJ. Langston,
who is styled ''Law Professor of Howard
College" Washington City, was to have
been recipient Of portion of the books
stolen from the State Library; that they
we're actually boxed up for him, and they
were to have been sent to him by his own
connivance. The testimony 50 far, con-
meets him with the crime, as to make it
the duty Of the Governor to send on his
requisition for him. VIII he do it; or is
Werles to serve as a scape- goat for all the
rest?

The Washington Chronicle, the Ad-
lministration mouth-piece, never grows
weary of declaiming against the policy OF
universal amnesty" 1t reproaches the
|Schurz-Brown movement in Missouri,
for which its leaders have been read out
of the Republican party by Grant him
self, and bewails that by similar stroke
|.fevery resident is permitted to register
and vote in Tennessee, and that in con-
sequence the Radical plunderers have
been dismissed from office. On the
subject of this policy, it says:
The effect of this practical application OF
the "universal amnesty and universal suf-
|frage" dodge is just lohat may be expected in
other Southern States should a similar unsrise
police be adopted. Tennessee Is almost as
at the mercy of disloyal men To-
day as South Carolina was in 1851.
In this jeremiad of the Administra-
ton organ there is comfort for the out
ragged and prescribed people of the South.

Gay Young Citizen Arrested for Being
With q Young Actress in Hotel.

From the LeayenwOrth Commercial
For some time past theatrical troupe
have been playing in this city, one of whom
was married lady, who was attended by
her husband, who also belonged to the the
atrical profession. This pair, together with
others Of the troupe, put up at hotel in this
city, but on the departure Of the company
the lady was left behind for day or two,
her husband promising to send for her. The
landlord of the house, on the occasion of his
return from the celebration Of the Fourth Of
July, fancied he heard footsteps on the floor,
and shortly after saw a gentleman gliding
to my lady's chamber" He waited a little,
and then, not hearing the lady shout for the
police, he determined himself to do so. The
police soon came, and demanded admit
lance. The lady asked, why this untimely
uproars" That reply not being satisfactory,
the lady was constrained to admit that
friend was with her, and straightway
opened the door. Then, when the hero
OF the little drama was brought to light, he
was seen to be well-knOwn citizen, who
was led away by the police, a gentle cap
tive.
The dame who caused this trouble then
packed her trunk, and beneath the soft light
of the moon sped away. Whether the paths
of the twain have diverged for ever, or
whether they will meet again under more
prOpitious stars, is only known to the angels
who watch and weep over the ways of the
children of men.

The contractor for furnishing eight new
boilers to the Waterworks is pushing for
ward his work with cOmmendable zeal, two
of the boilers being very near completion.
Thus fear, seriously entertained, that by
an accident to the old boilers the water
supply of the whole city might be stopped,
is being happily dissipated.
The contract for the repair OF the house
inclOsing the old engine of the WaterwOrks,
has been completed, its execution being
very creditable indeed, the work is in
marked contrast to the work usually exc
stands, will serve the purposes of the de-
partment equally as well as the new build
ing the late POard of Commissioners de-
signed erecting-the expense in comparison
being merely nominal. The cementing Of
the reservoir, rendered necessary by leak
ages of serious nature, has also been COM
pleted.
Tchoupitoulas streets (Waterworks in
clOsure), has been remOdeled, to place it at
the service of the engineer for residence
the building hitherto used by him being in
an untenantable condition.

The report of the Superintendent Of this
institution for the month of June shows the
number of patients to be one hundred and
twenty-seven, decrease of three since the
last report.
The patients during the month have been
supplied with clothing suitable to the
weather, which has much improved their
appearance, and added to their comfort;
though, reduced as they were in the matter
of apparel, further appropriation will be
necessary.
The appearance Of the gloomy old pile in
which the patients are immured, will, it is
hoped, be somewhat improved after the re-
pairing, whitewashing, etc, now contracted
for, is finished; but as | have remarked in a
previous report, to set apart such a building
for such q purpose is unworthy a Christian
community.
