HOn...G. w. McCranir.

We were favored yesterday with 4
call from the Hon. G.. w. McCranic,
editor Of the Monroe I.a.) TELEGRAPH
and the Fusion candidate for Congress
in the District Of Louisiana lying across
the river. Mr.. McCranic, being Il ma
tive of one Of our eastern counties, feels
a just and natural pride in the State of
Mississippi, and Mississippi will not
hesitate to own a son who has so well
attested his claim to her recognition.
We are pleased to know that in the
| western and central portion Of his Dis
trict, where he has been actively GU
gagged in the canvass, Mr.. Mctranic
will receive Il heavy majority ut the
polls, and we would urge the Conscr-
natives on the Eastern side OF the dis
trict, along the Mississippi river, to
aid him in securing all the votes posi-
BILE. 1t may be Of great importance
that the opposition to Gen. Grant
should control the next House Of Rep
rcscntativcs, and each Congressional
district ought to be fully alive To the
value of his check. Mr.. McCr;uic's
opponent belongs to the worst class Of
of the carpct-bag element. His record,
as 4 pretended friend of the colored
people, is simply infamous, us was
shown by his course rs an agent of
tho F'reedmen's Bureau in our neigh
boring State; while, as Il citizen Of
Louisiana, his entire history is that of
4 Spectator, advcnturcr and Office
seeker. We hope our friend McCranic
will be triumpEantly elected, and
urge our Louisiana friends along the
support. - Iicksb,ny Uc,rtiH.

Our Police.

On Wednesday, ~ early ~ . i. NJ,
an alarm discovered an unoccupicl
by some vagabond
for the night-hclonGinG 10 Mr.. W. II.
Atkins, to be on fire and That lis pro-
gross was such az to render useless amy
efforts to save it. Fortunately the
house was old and worthless except
for the wood that was in it. But had
it been valuable the result would have
been the same 50 far as the efficiency
of our Police is concerned. Now. the
question arises, where was the Watch
man of that beat:
We contend that there il but little
if any use for y Police during the day,
but at night they should not only DO
assigned to thcirbca but the proper
officers should employ such means rs
to know that the duty is faithfully and
efficiently performed.
No city in the United States has
paid lcarcr for the experience of the
necessity Of 4 vigit,nt Police us 4 pro-
lection and preventive against further
calamity. They should DC also alive to
tn" magnitude of their trust-n city
sleeping under their curc-anu wal<ci,l,
faithful and watchful accordingly.

BURGLARS AT WORK = THE CRAOKSMEN
ESCAPE

About fifteen minutes after six O'Clock on satur
day morning Ofricer Patrick Conner, Of the Fourth
precinct, was trying the doors on his beat
when he discovered that the premises Of
Messrs. D. K. Hall Sons, at 100 Chat
ham street. had been entered by burglars
during the night. After obtaining assistance he
made an examination OF the house and found that
the thieves had gained admission by scaling fence
In the rear on James street. passed through alley
and then torn open window on the store door OF
Hall sons building. They then attacked q safe
In the once and drilled q hole about one and q half
inches In diameter In the middle Of the safe door
behind the lock. Nitro-gIycerine was poured into
the hole and exploded. The report must have been
heavy, for the ponderous door was torn from It's
fastenlngs and almost doubled up. It was then
robbed or $500 In money, half Of which belonged
to the bookkeeper; some bonds and mort
cages ana other documents. The burglars
then gathered up their tools, leaving only q safe
Jimmy about four feet long, and then forcing OF
the nOsing OF the lock on the front door, quietly
walked into Chatham street and escaped. The
police are actively at work, but at late hour last
night had not made any arrest, and refused to give
any Information TO reporters.
