COLONEL O. T. BEARD, renegade
carpet-bagger, having joined the ranks Of
the sham Conservatives in Virginia, is now
the recipient Of many hattering notices at
the hands Of the Democratic press of the
state. Less than year ago, when Beard
accompanied Vice, President Wilson in a
portion of his tour through the state, he
was the object Of most intense disgust to
them. Having got into trouble with the
revenue officers regarding illicit operations
in whiskey it is quite natural that Beard
should not only join the Democracy, but
that he should become popular with them

New York Warehouse and Security
Company.
NEW YORK, September 9.-It appears
that the trouble in the Warehouse and
Security company arose from relations
with two of its directors--Francis Skiddy,
importer, of No. l0l Wall street, and
Sheppard Gaudy, No. 60 Wall street,
both heavy sugar importers. They were
directors in the above company and also
directors Of the Missouri, Kansas, and
Texas railroad company, now in course of
construction. They had invested so
heavily in this road and elsewhere that
their large resources and excellent
credit could not carry them
through, and they therefore obtained loans
from the Security company and other
corporations. The Warehouse and Sc
curity company, however, had a large
amount of paper in circulation, which was
about to mature, and unless some of the
loans which it had made to Skiddy &
Gaudy, were taken up, they could not meet

bandits, &c.

New ORLEANS, September "a
party OF Bandits, headed by Alberto
Garcia, are committing depredations on the
roads near Mier and Guerrero. Garcia
and his followers were lately stealing cattle
in Texas, and being too hotly pursued by
United States cavalry, returned to Mexico,
where Garcia was appointed customs
officer. Upon losing his office, and fearing
to return to Texas to steal cattle, he turned
highwayman in Mexico.
The Vox Publico newspaper, of this city,
states that Garcia is an American, and
claims that reparation should be demanded
for his depredations.
The Mexican authorities, however, recently
refused to extradte him for the robberies
committed in Texas, on the ground that he
was Mexican citizen.

LIGHT HARNESS. s,s.-Fam-work, during
the hot summer months, requires only the
lightest harness. In the cities the harness
worn by street railroad horses is as scant
as is consistent with the work they have to
perform. No breeching is used, and hip
straps are dipensed with. Teams may
often be seen in the hot days of July and
August, ploughing in the same harness
they wore during the winter. This is
unnecessary nay, sometimes it amounts to
positive cruelty. Remove every super
Huous strap, take away the bacl-strap and
crupper band, and let the air circulate
freely around the body. At night when the
work is over, wash the sweat and dust
from the legs and thighs of the horse a
dash Of water on his flanks would be
grateful to him. Let his stable be airy
and clean, with bed of clean straw.
Kindness to these serviceable animals is
the truest economy. Besides, we feel far
better when our horses are made comfort
able. The sensation is akin to that derived
from doing benevolent action. A sensi-
tive man cannot see horse sweating
under and CALLED by a heavy harness dur
ing the intense heat of q summers day,
without sympathy and pity, nor can he
retire to rest with an easy conscience,
knowing that his faithful servants in the
stable are not properly cared for.

tacle was exhibited last night at meeting

Of the corporation employees. A few
years ago these policemen thought
themselves. as they were for the
work performed, we'll paid at two
dollars per diem. Then they were re-
quired to light and extinguish the city gas
lamps. and for this triiiing duty fifty cents
per diem was added to their pay. Now
they want 81 per day, and proposition is
pending IN the council to give them 81 ,OOC

| REASON OF THE RECENT IRREGU.
LARITY IN THE DELIVERING OF THE
MAIL.-The continued want of continuity
in the delivery of the northern mail at
Washington and points further south,
Richmond included, is thus explained (:
Inquiry at the postofice department shows
that the detention is entirely north Of
Baltimore, and that the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, instead of being at fault, is
the only scompany--barring unavoidable
detentlons by accident---that has promptly
fulfilled its part of the contract. 1t is also
said, in defence of the postal arrangements,
that these delays were very seldom known
until the Pennsylvania Central railroad,
which controls and owns the route from
Philadelphia to New York, and the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad from Bal
timore to Washington, ten days ago begun
its proscriptive action against the Balti.
more and Ohio railroad company. The
object, it is said, is undoubtedly to compel
the postmaster-general to annul the con-
tract with the Baltimore and Ohio company
and giyeit to the Baltimore and Potomac,
or else make the public endure the
detention of the postal car north of
Baltimore. Since the order forbidding the
cars Of the. Baltimore and Ohio road to
proceed north beyond Gray's ferry, near
Philadelphia, there has hardly been
mail from Washington that has not been
five or six hours behind, either going north
or coming south.
No mail north of Baltimore again to-
uay. 9&st1s ~

THE ALMS-HoUsE.-At the meeting
last evening of the city council the chair
man Of the committee on the Alms-ho
reported to that body statement in refer
ence to its affairs so general in character as
to be hardly worth the making. What the
council cared about knowing the number of
inmates in the Alms-house it would be diff
ficult to imagine, especially as that informa-
ton is published every month in THE
STATE JOURNAL, and can be obtained
also at any time from the oblging superin-
.tendent simply for the asking. It seems to
us that the information which the council
should most desire would be d detailed
statement of the monthly cost of carrying
on the institution, SO as not to wait
till the end of the year and then pro-
fess to be very much startled at
the enormous aggregate. The people
who foot the bill want to know how much
it costs to take care of the poor monthly.
The figures are said to aggregate $40, 900
per annum, which is at the rate of 5000 for
each individual taken care of. This does
not include free lodgings, gas and water
or the various other little concomitants
of a well-ordered household which the
"poor nnfortunates " receive from the
city. The paupers of this city can be
boarded at the Exchange hotel by the
year for the same money it costs the city
to take care of them at the Aims house
the same length of time.
