PEDLER THIEF IN TROUBLE.-Yesterday fore
noon young man giving his name as John
HitZ, and halls from Boston, in his capacity of
button aud shoe-string pedler, called at the
house OF Mr.. Adams q. Merrill, on Boyd street,
and exposed his wares for ale. No one want
ed to buy, and he was left in the entry to 60

time after Mr.. Merrill went out but he had then
gone. Looking into the pocket of his ovorcoat
which was banging there, be found bis pocket
book missing. His suspicious were aroused,
and be and his son Milton gave chase to the
pedler. Seeing them in pursuit he took to bis
heels down'the street to Lincoln and along this
latter street to Wilmot, which he turned up,
throwing shoe-strinss ON one side and buttons
on the other. Milton seeing that the pedler
was swifter than he, at the corner OF Wilmot
street confscated team and pursued him. On
Exchange street he overlook him, and with the
assistance of Mr. Joseph Ramsay, captured
him in Sawyer S fruit store, put him into the
wagon and delivered him to officer Burnham
who carried him TO the station. The pocket
book was found by a small boy in yard where
he saw the ;h;ci throw it in his headlong fight
It contained $1260 U. S. currency, and notes
and pagers of the value of about $4,000.
Deputy Marshal Decelle and officer Burn
ham afterwards went down to boarding house
near the Boston depot, kept by one Seely, a
hackman, where Hiltz lived, and examined his
trunk. There were found in his trunk six sill

IN. A. W. silver butter knife, two empty
wallets AMI a letter from Somelville, Mass +,

1t is evidently a genuine letter from the boy s
mother, and contains several illusions to pre-

An IntolerabIe Nuisance.

To the Editor Of the Press.
For some time past have suffered extremely
from nuisance, almost under my windows,
which is repeated night after night, and am
not alone in my grievance, for my neighbo-s
complain bitterly of the same trouble. Every
night dog in the vicinity of Congress street,
between Park and State streets, commences to
bark and keeps it up at intervals all night long.
His barking excites another dog over on Deer
ing street, and between them the slumbers Of
many good citizens is ruthlessly broken, some
of them too invalids or of infirm age, who al
thus kept awake when they need natures
sweet restorer." If you will give this place
in your columns you will greatly oblige
SUFFERER.
1--WE give place to the communication with
pleasure, for we have also BEEN among the at
ficted. We have spoken to the police auihori-
ties on the subject, but as get have not received
any relief. Who the owners of the dogs are
we do not know, but one of the dogs COM
mences his concert between Park and State
streets about II p. M, and continues at regular
intervals till a. m. 1t seems as if any dog
that is complained II by citizens as nuisance
should be put out of his misery at once, either
by the owners keeping him in the house or
else by the police taking care of him. At all
hood should be annoyed. If we knew whose
dog it was we would see if some stop could not
be put to the barking.-ED.]

GRAFTON the tariff Of rates and adopting such
measures as might be deemed necessary for
theil interest. There was very good attend
ance.

scented, amended and adopted, and 1000 copies

contempt by all present. The tariff raises the
rates on some articles, but not to great de-

REVOLUTION IN THE EASTERN STATES
MAzATLAN, Nov. %, via Havana 2S.zDisor-
der continues throughout the country. A con-
ing its origin in Mazatlan, has been discovered
and the ringleaders arrested. Claeedo Vega re-
fuses to obey the order of Gen. Losada to dis
arm and has accepted the leadership of another
expedition. Dissraceful scenes are of daily
occurrence along the frontiers of the States of
Jalisco and sinaloa. The troops at Rosario
mutined and plundered the town.
In the State of JAllico, Governors Guerro
and Stenmore, the latter assisted by the legis-
iature aud federal troops, have taken up arms.
State is in condition of anarchy. In the
State OF Sonora the federal troops nave been
ordered to assist in the warfare against the
Apache Indians.
The survey of the Guaymas and Pasa del
Norte railroad has been completed and work
will soon be commenced on both ends via

Especial to N. Y. Herald. 1.-The Cabinet,
up again decision to meet on Wednesday.
Gortschakoff's last bombshell has created a
terrible CONSERVATION, and the Cabinet at least
feels disinclned to answer it as speedily as
Granville replied to the first. A rumor now
prevails that Messrs. Lowe, Bright and Card
we'll are likely to go out of the Cabinet They
refuse to make war at any price while Granville
insists that Russia must be compelled to with
draw her letters before even congress can be
conse nted to by Eogland. 1t is said that the
Council to- morrow is to presided over by the
Queen as a formal meeting for business, and
will have no connection with Russian affairs.
Prussias reply is nervously and anxiously
awaited. The rumors OF Russas willingness
to submit to congress are believed to be
groundless.

MONTGOMERY, Nov. 28.-The city is full of
excitement. and the wheels Of the State gov
eminent are entirely locked. Smith and Bling.
ham still claim to be Governor and Treasurer
respectively, and each claims possession of his
office. Smi has obtained number of troops
from the commanding officer here, and they
are posted in frost of the executive room and
the Treasurer's Office. This morning the SEN
ate met and Immediately adjourned until to-
morrow. In the House the presence of U. S.
troops in the capitol was denounced and reso-
lutons were passed that a committee of six,
three from the Senate and three from the
House, be appointed to ascertain without de-
lay upon whose application and order and for
what purpose military force was quartered in
the capitol, and that the general assembly will
desist from all further proceedings till the re-
port Of the committee is received and acted up
on. Only two Republicans voted against the
action. The Board OF Education has also sus.
pended business for the present. Many Re-
publieans denounce the action OF Gov. Smith
as high-handed usurpation, and.a grand in
dignation meeting of all parties opposed to this
proceeding will be held tonight and will be
addressed by many speakers who supported
GOV. Smith in the late election.

mining districts heretofore considered in Ne
