Daring Robbery.

At an early hour on yesterday
morning, says the Columbia Union,
burglars ctf.otcd au entrance into tho
store Of Mr.. a. g. Squicr, on Sumtor
street, between Lady and Washington
streets, and took thcrcfrom about
twenty dollars worth of knives, forks,
hats, aud other light articles. 1t was
evidently their design to have mado
u cleaner sweep of the contents of the
store, had they not beon frightened
in their operations by n passer-by
along the street. The burglars ut.
tempted first to gain admittanco by
breaking in the side door of the storo
but did not succeed. They then
went to tho front Of tho building, and
cut their way through tho brick wall
beneath one of tho windows, and thence
through the wood wcrk on tho inside.
The tools with which tho work was
done Iwcro found on the premises, be-
ing mortice chiscl, fircmcn chiscl
and screwdriver made from an old
sabre. Tho rascals passed out
through this npcratns large amount
of crockery, which was piled on tho
sidewalk, and upon tho tops Of fence
posts in the vicinity. But before
they had carried off much of this, a
htmeward bound typo of the Union
office oamc upon them, and they took
leg bail across the street, and made
their escape. Both of tho burglars
are described as colorcd men, and one
of them as being dressed in soldiers
clothes. 1t is also stated that MIR.

yard. went to the window and caught
a glimpse Of them as they were cscap-
ing. MIR. Squicr lives in the rear and
adjoining store, but the thick walls
prevented him from hearing anything
of the operations. There was but u
small sum Of money in tho drawer,
and this remained untouched.
1t will be we'll if store keepers and
others keep sharp lookout, rs this
class of thieves arc operating extcn.

WASHINGTON. W
Resignation nAccep,cd-Ku-klux Cases in
Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-The resignation
Of Joseph Belknap, supervising steamboat
inspector, has been accepted.
In the Supreme Court to-day. in the ku-
hluS cases. No. SIS, the United States VS..
Avery and others, on a certificate of divi-
sion from the Circuit Court Of South Caro-
lima. the motion to dismiss made by the gov
ernment on this case was not granted.
The Chief Justice announced that the
case Of the United States Va. Rosenberg, in
the Judgment of the. court. controls this.
See that case in Wallace, $50. The mo-
ton to quash was clearly determinable as
a matter of discretion; it was preliminary
III its character, and the denial of it could
not finally decide any right OF the defend
ant: when such motion is made by de-
fendant it is usually refused. unless in the
CIearest cases. and the grounds of it, If
available. may be used on demurrer Of mo-
ton in an arrest of judgment.
1T is established, therefore, that the :
motion to quash falls within this
principle which excludes all matters
of discretion from the jurisdiction to
review. This case can not probably
come to this court on a writ of error to final
judgment under about two years; but a
writ of habeas BUS having been issued
for the relief of tn prisoners. and their dis
charge being denied, that Judgment has
been brought here for review, and the case
so presented will involve the constitutional
question whose hearing is deferred by this
decision. 1t is expected motion will be
made tomorrow to set day for the argu-
nent.

THE CITY HALL.

The subject at present deemed of most
import consideration by the city Admins
traitors is the enforcement of the ordinance
authorizing the removal Of all distractions
from the streets and leyees. This would
include the removal Of the iron building at
the foot of Canal street, and the One-story
buildings on the river front. 1t is a mis-
take to suppose that the proposition in
wolves the removal of the Clay statue.
There can be 10 possible objection to its re-
naming as it is-an ornament to the street.
The present low rate of foreign freights
has greatly decreased the receipts from
levee dues. A fleet of vessels destined for
this port, upon learning, at the bar, of the
condition OF affairs, left for Pensacola, the
masters concluding that the cost of towage
up and down the river could not be paid
by the prospects for return cargoes.
The Administrator OF Waterworks has
just completed the laying of 1920 feet of
six-inch water pipe on Greatmen street,
and 3lS feet of four-ineh pipe on Piety

been dug at the corner of Louisa and
Dauphine streets. Tie entire work cost
$4774 60.
The City Council met at II NJ. yesterday

subjects. which came up for discussion was
the proposition to dig draining canal on

Tariff Bill-Amendment to Repeal all
Domestic Taxes bur Liquor and TObac-
co. Retaining the Rice Duty-Chinese
Trading Company Bill Lost-Mail
Steamship Service Between New Or.
leans and Mexican Ports.
WASHINGTON, March 2l-Senate-The
tariff bill considered, Mr.. Morton save ne
tice Of an amendment repeating all domestic
taxes except ON liquor and tobacco, after
October l, 1872.
Mr.. Sawyer gave notice of motion to
retain the present duty ON rice He said
there were four branches of industry in the
rice producing States which are aided by
protective duties. while tba people of those
States paid taxes almost for the benefit of
the industries of other States. There were
peculiar reasons for aiding Southern indus
try at the present time.
The land owners had nothing else left
after the war. The freedmen were the only
class who had gained material wealth. The
land owners had to borrow money at enOr-
nous rs les to carry on planting operations.
The South, therefore, asked the same pro-
lection for her labor that had been so freely
extended elsewhere; they asked for the re-
tentiOn of the duty on rice. He described
at length the extensive, complicated and
expensive process required for the produc-
ton of rice.
generally aba udoned, being near the theatre
of war. This neglect of four years almost
threw the lands back into the valueless
swamps from which the labors of genera
tions had reclaimed them. Without the
duty it would have been impossible to re-
store the rice fields to cultivation after
the war. Continue the duty for few years,
and the old rice lands would again be
brought into cultivation, and new fields
added. and the planters could then prosper
without it.
There were probably 10000 families in
Georgia and South Carolina depending
upon this culture for support. Almost the
entire benefit from the prop ,sed reduction
would accrue to the ben-nt of few i'm
porters and dealers in foreign rice.
Adjourned without action.
House-The bill Incorporating Chinese
trading company, with capital of
s.. 900, failed by large majority.
Mr.. Sheldon, from the Committee on Com
merce. reported bill authorizing mail
steamship service between New Orleans
and certain Mexican ports. On objection
by Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania. that the
bill be made an appropriation, it was re-
ferred to the committee OF the whole.
The Chicago relief bill was referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means.
The House considered the army appro-
priation bill. 1t involves SO, 800 900.

If the Cincinnati convention goes for free
