Arrest OF Respectable Ladies' an PniIa-
dslphAA.

The Philadelphia Ledger of Saturday says;
On Thursday evening last about o'clock,
two married women were arrested by Reserve
Sergeant Buchanan. They passed the night
la me cel win OtDer women arrested for street
walking, disorderly cOndHct, &C., and yester.
day morning they were given hearing by Al
dermAn Bletler. Gen. VIM. McCandless hav-
ing G0r long time known one OF these ladies'
as reputable woman, became her surety and
sna was discharged upon the payment of costs.
The other was committed, and subsequently,
when member of the bar became her surety,
the discharge that was given for her release
from custody set forth that she had been com
lnlessa for being ''drunk and dlsoFJeFly, street
walking" &c.
the one who was first discharged resides
with her husband, In the interior of the State,
aud Is at present on visit to her mOther-n-
law, In this city. The other is the wife of a
physician, practising in this city.
Ihe story,as told by the ladies, is, that COM
ing from up town to Chestnut street to buy
some trinkets at the One Dollar store they
got out OF car at Tenth and Chestnut streets;
when they reached Ninth street man in citi-
zen's clothes, bade them good evening, and
tney returned IL, and, pressing on, stopped in
front OF store ON Chestnut street to look at
some trinkets; while they were discussing the
prODaDte price, and, just as one remarked''a 'af-
ter We are through we will get some oysters, "
the man IN citizens dress came between them
and took them to the Central Station. They

On the other hand, 1t is alleged that wher
tney were addressed by Sergeant Buchanan

asked him to treat them to oysters.
1t Is probable the husbands of these womer
would not be held guiltleSs were they to shoo

After full consideration OF the
matter, owing 10 the general shrink

reduce the price of our paper to
$3.50 per year. ....
Owing to this reduction il j:
nothing more than right and JUS

will be entered upon our books till

We intend to treat all alike in
this matter. We have done our
part in meeting the demand for a
general reduction of prices, and
now we trust our friends will de
theirs by helping to extend the cir

acriptions will hereafter be stopped
at the expiration of the time paid
for. .s.p
Owing to the lateness of the hour

The public will readily UNDER

The. CHIEF JUsTICE.-The ap.
pointment of Attorney General
Williams docs not give perfect sat
isfaction. The Senate has failed
to confirm the appointment. he
may not be the Chief Justice. We
are not prepared to say what Is in
the way. Some men who know
him say he is honest capable, eff
cient. Others say he lacks in abil-
ity, that he il not q fit successor of
Marshall, and others who have
adorned the bench. We confess to
our Ignorance. Mr.. Williams
gave satisfaction as Attorney GEN
erAi. He did some good for the
country in the Alabama arbitration.
1t may be that the opposition comes
from some professional politicians,
such IS found fault with Grants
frat Cabinet, who are disappointed
because some of their pats have not
been appointed. If this is the case
we hope the Senate may
ratify at once, and let them howl.
If Mr.. Williams lie incompetent, let
them say so, and have the President
appoint another man a. quickly a.
possible. We have q few men who
can fill the place with dignity. We.
hope that no mere partisan will get
that most important position We
want the sOundest, sblest, most
competent man. We e0Hld name g
man, he is nOts Republican who
could All the place. We have ref
erenee 20 Mr. O'Conner, of New

will be appointed. We haYe great
