THE NEW PARTY.

The avowed purpose Of the Indiana
Democracy to take the initial step in the
formation of "a new liberal party based
on the living Issues Of the day" calls
forth the following true words from the
Chicago Tribune:
Neither the Republican nor the Demo
ocratic party being able TO check corrup-
ton, il follows that this work must DO ac-
complished BY new party. The Demo
cratic leaders Of Indiana have at least re-
cognized the necessities OF the situation,
and have concluded TO abandon the old or.
gAnizatiop, and organize new liberal
party on the living issues Of the day.
That is the first step toward success, and
its influence, coming from Indiana, must
tend to convince Democratic leaders else
where Of the futility Of longer attempting
to maintain the Democratic organization,
as we'll as the folly of expecting to be
successful, working under dual organi.
cation, a. OF the last general election. "a
new liberal party, based upon the living
issues OF the day." ia the only
party which can successfully contend
with the evils Of the day, and overcome
them. That new liberal party will en-
brace all the honest men Of the old parties
1t will be the party of the people organ
lied together against monopolies agains
abuses Of power, against corruption anC
frauds in Office, and in favor Of immediat,
reform in the administration of the gov
eminent. The Democratic party of Indi
ana have set noble example in abandon
ing their old organization, and buryin,
the old threadbare issues out Of sight. /
is the only way in which reforms can b
made. It is an example which the Demo
crats Of New Hampshire can now well al
ford 10 contemplate and follow. 1t is
concession made in the interests Of hor
esty, economy and public probity, and
will commend itself to all who desire I
see the government administered upon
true Republican basis.

RAIDERS PROM WAsHINGToN,-Fiye colored
roughs from Washington came here yesterday
and INDUCED in series of offences that resulted
in the arrest of two of them and the fight of
the others. One of those arrested named John
Lee-who was a deserter from the chain gang
OF this city, and has now been rejOined to that
corps-is well known here, having been de-
tected some time ago in stealing roll of cloth
from the store of Mr.. Eolmes and some hats
from Mr.. Arnold. Three of them went into the
store OF Mr.. Tolson, at the ferry slip, Yesterday
afternoon, and while the clerk was waiting upon
enc, the other two attempted to rob the money
drawer, but being detected, they all went out
without buying anything. They visited the
store of Mr.. John McGaffey, corner of King and
Patrick streets, and attempted to steal three
pieces OF bacon, but being detected ran of,
dropping in their flight a large butchers knife.
They also, at later hour, entered the millin ery
store of Mrs G. l.. Simpson, greatly alarmed the
young lady who offered to wait on them, and
later in the night, at DEVILS Row, Fishtown,
they and colored woman named Mary Odell
robbed white man named Robert Scott, hail
ing from Chester, Pennsylvania, who was
drunk, of watch and fifty-fve dollars IN
money, and later still they attempted to break
into and rob several stores in the neighbOrhoOd
of the ferry slip. Two Of them, John w john
son and John Lee. were arrested-throwing
away large butchers knife as they were
taken in custody-but the other three managed
to escape.

POTOMAC WArER IN UPPER GRORGErowy
On Wednesday of this week the connection be-
tween the new twelve-inch pipe and the steam
pump will be made, and residents of George
town, supplied with water from the high service
reservoir, who do not have a sufficieney after
that day, may be sure that the trouble is with
their service pipe. Col. Lubey, the water reg
istrar, states that in many cases of complaint
about scarcity of water, examination has re-
vealed the fact that the supply pipe to houses
was obstructed either by rust or other deposits
of solid matter. Where the service-pipes have
been in use a long time this is likely to be the
case.
