TIE PARADE AND PROCESSION OF THE
KNIGHTS TEMpLAR, in Baltimore, yesterday,
was one of the grandest demonstrations ever
witnessed in this country. The line OF march
extended, it is said, nearly five miles. There
were nearly five thousand members of the
Order in the procession and the streets were
thronged with thousands of spectators. Each
of the seventy Communicates bore handsome
banner, and the number of full bands OF music
in line was thirty-three, with seven drum corps.
The Baltimore American says many OF the
Communicates went through various evolutlons
along the line of march, forming crosses, dla-
monds, and one from Philadelphia, without
hating or breaking the line Of march, formed
the figures signifying the number of the Com
mandery. There were delegates from almost
all the Suites and Territories All public bust
ness in Baltimore was suspended on the occa-
sion Everything was conducted i'll the most
orderly manner.

of the vouchers from the Comptroller's Office,
IN New York, has been fixed upon the janltor
and sub-ianitor of the County Court House, IN
which the Comptrollers office, from which the
documents were distracted, is located. 1t was
on Sunday, September 10th, that they were
taken, and the detection OF the theft was by a
servant girl in the employ Of the janitor. The
papers were burned rs soon rs removed from
the eases. Information came to the Police
Department, and the Citizens Committee
caused the arrest of the criminals, Haggerty
and Baulch. They were to be taken before
Judge Lcdwith, but BY some legal process Ia
ken out of his hands, and sent up to Judge
Bowling The committee, however, managed
to secure the girl, who is the most important
witness in the affair.

The National Republican, u Jealous political
friend of the present administration and of
Gen. Grant, says that If there was 4 constiu-

of it. The madness Of party" with some,
would 50 TO any lensths-eveu to the sweeping
away Of constitutional provisions to accomplish
some temporary party purpose. We are far
from thinking the Republican would agree to
this. But we have seen provisions of the Con-

war; when the interest of party, or the designs
Of party, were weights in the opposite scale.

kinds of sickness will continue 1t is no doubt
true,as we see suggested in one of our exchange
papers, that the best means Of prevention of
attacks is by avoiding Exposure to the heat of
the sun in the middle Of the carly autumn
days, and also by sitting within doors, and not
outside of them in the evening. Windows
