Rocco HALL.-None Of the festivals
were well attended last night ON ao'
count lofinclement weather. However,
for those who did attend, the pleasure
was in no degree stinted by the paucity
Of numbers, but on the contrary gave

display oil their peculiar powers OF en-
joyment. The various articles to be
voted at Rocco Hall will attract deal
of interest this and tomorrow evening,
as the voting is to close Saturday night.

watch destined for one of your number
is something handsome. The fine gold

That safe Robbery.

Up to this time no parties have been
arrested for robbing the Office Of the
Chief of Police and plundering the safe.
The history of the safe is curious 1t
originally belonged to the old Metropoli-
tan police commissioners, and while in
their possession was opened and plum
dered of its contents by "a detec-
tive who had been on the force.
After passing through the hands Of Col
onel Beaumont, Mr.. Burdett and Brother
Pearne, it passed into the possession Of
safe-mover, who carried it to Chief
O'Donnell's Office and gave one key to his
clerk, Mr.. Eugene Finn. No other key
was turned over by the Commissioners
or parties having it in possession prior
to the time it was transferred to Mr..
0DonRell. When the latter went
out of Office the safe and single
key were transferred by his clerk to
the present Chief Of Police or his clerk.
The factI that the safe was robbed be-
fore and the loss Of the key places the
matter in a new light, and connects the
late crime with those who had hand in
the former raid. There were men on
the old Metropolitan detective and pa
troll force who had graduated in plum
dering during the war, and carried the
system on while acting as Metropolitans,
and it may be that the clue now given
will place the chief and his detectives
on trail that will cause something TO
turn up.

The Senate committee on foreign relations
yesterday held protraeted meeting on the sub
ject of the supplemental treaty. From all
that can be learned the meeting was stormy
one, and ended without having arrived at any
conclusion. There has been decided change
in the sentiment Of political circles here since
yesterday, and many who then conceded the
passage of the supplemental treaty as fore
gone conclusion are now in doubt.
Last night Colonel George McDougal, one
of the earliest California pioneers. took pills
containing eleven grains of morphine. In the
presence of Edward ByTne he remarked; II

A physician was sent for but his efforts to re-
store McDOugal proved unsuccessful, and he
died several hours after swallowing the poi
son. He had been engaged in prosecuting a
claim before Congress for $4,000. upon which
a favorable report was expected. The deceased
had been drinking freely for some days past.

THE ISSUE MADE.

Colonel Mosby called on Grant I'M
other day, and the two spent couple o
hours in conversation. Mosby comes
out strong for his prosecutor and implac
able enemy for reelection. He likes a
military government, and told Grant so.
He thinks Grant can conciliate the peo-
ple of the South, and told him so. Grant
appeared pleased with Mosby's talk. The
interview was a sort of love feast. Mos
by's influence in Virginia will be small.
He is a good fighter, but he has no poll
teal status. Virginia will vote just the
same as if Mosby had never been born.
The Southern people cannot be induced
10 vote for Grant so long as they remem-
Der how he has protected the carpet
baggers who have nearly ruined the
South. Mr.. Voorhees,, of Indiana, is
man of a pattern quite different. He is
a politician, an orator, and one OF the
ablest men of the day. He has been
admired in all parts Of the country
where there is Democrat, or an I'M
prejudiced man of any party. But
something is the matter with him. He
has denounced the present administra-
ton as thoroughly corrupt He has de-
nounced the Radical party with all the
terms of bitterness his eloquent tongue
could command. He has in Congress
and out of Congress proclaimed his as
pirations for its overthrow, but when the
honest portion of it offers him and the
country an opportunity of destroying
the corrupt part, he announces that he
prefers Grant to Greeley, the corrup-
ZIONIST to the honest man. Mr.. Voor-
bees may have motives, greater than
any that mere political sentiment can
create, for his course. But he stands in
the attitude of regarding Greeley and
the Liberal Republicans as more corrupt
than Grant and the Radicals, or Of ad-
hitting that his former opposition to the
latter was insincere. Mr.. Voorhees, may
control his district, but that will be
about the extent of his influence. Pen
dleton, Hendricks and other great Dem
ocratic leaders stand out in splendid
contrast to him. We do not know
whether the Democratic party is dead or
alive, but we are free to say on our own
account that that portion of it which
prefers Grant to Greeley cannot die too
soon. The issue is made up. Tennes-
see and New York have blocked up the
little game of Belmont and others, and
rendered nomination at Baltimore i'm
possible. 1t is Greeley or Grant. 1t is
reform in the government under the for
mer, or corruption under the latter.

MASS MEETINGS.

Mass meetings among politicians are
intended mere to produce enthusiasm
than to correct or form mems opinions.
And even then, they are delayed until
the last days Of canvass, so that the
enthusiasm will keep to the end Men
who wish to accomplish great ends 90
about it quietly, and it is quite probable
that the reformers who held several
meetings here might have effected greater
results by some other means Wher-
ever there is opposition to measure,
there is nothing like mass meeting TO
bring it out. No doubt great majority
of the people Of the city are for reform.
They have no sort Of interest in an
extravagant administration of the civil
service, but it strikes us that a proms-
cuous meeting in which Incorporate
language is employed and passion
aroused, is not the best mode Of consol-
idating their sentiments, aud making
them effective. An address to the Leg
islature carries greater force when pre-
sented with the names of the people to
it, than when it comes as the product of
a mass meeting. The resolutions adopted
yesterday at the Greenlaw meeting and
intended to be presented to the Legisla-
ture, should, to give them additional
force, be signed by those who are in favor

Confederate RELIEF Picnic.

Tomorrow James Park will be filed

casion of the annual picnic OF the Con
federate Relief and Historical Associa-
ton. The gentlemen whose names are
ON the different committees are our best
citizens, and guarantee most pleasur-
able time to all visitors. The rain last
night was most fortunate, as it cooled
the atmosphere and relieved the park of
dust. Splendid brass aid string bands
will discourse music for the dancers.
The most complete arrangements have
been made to convey visitors to and
from the grounds. What adds materially
to the popularity Of the picnic is the
fact that the funds collected viii be
faithfully and sacredly applied to the re-
lief of worthy ex-Confederate soldiers,
and to assist the families of deceased
comrades.
