"
lodging-house pilfering have lately been
brought to our attention, but the value
of articles purloined was too triaine for
EXPERIMENTATION. One gentleman had
package OF ARIZONA precious stones /"
taken from his valise, but the thief will
be sharper than the owner if he manages
to realize anything from them. We some
times wish the regular laws could be
legally suspended in their operation. SO
We might make an example of some of
the many rascals, Of high and low degree,
with which the city is infested, without
laying ourselves liable to the charge of
mobocracy, by giving them a popular
trial and public punishment. A hundred
lashes, well laid on, would meet the case
of small thieves, and for those who oper-
ate on more extensive scale more severe
forms OF punishment could be prescribed.
New LIGHT ON AN OLD SUBJECT. Our
readers will remember that We published,
several weeks ago, letter written by Mr..
McGuffie, of Hike, in which he attempted
to detail the circumstances of his robbery
by masked ruffians. In that letter Mr..
McGuffie reflected severely on the con-
duct OF Justice Wilson, and other of his
neighbors, in regard to the affair. We
now have an entirely different version of
the matter, which represents Mr.. McGuf-
he to have been too much excited to know
what did take place, and fully exonerat-
ing the Justice and all concerned from
| the charge of indifference. The neigh
bors all acted with promptness, and did
the lest they could under the circum-
stances, towards overtaking and arresting
the perpetrators.
SELLING LIQUoRs WITHOUT LICENSE.
Upon complaints filed by the District At
torney, assisted by W. W. Bishop, war
rants were issued day before yesterday
for the arrest of nineteen keepers OF
houses of ill-fame for selling liquors with
out license. The women based their
grievance. in answering, mainly ON the
fact that they were ignorant of the exist
ence Of a law requiring them to pay
license, and further, that they had never
been asked to pay such tax by the County
Collector, and that the first intimation
they had of such legal requirement was
when the warrants were served. Some
Of these cases may be heard to-day.

PUBLIC APPROVAL. = Our suggestion
that Governor Bradley should offer
liberal reward for the arrest Of the muir
derers of Wright and Sanbourne is hearti
ly approved by citizens generally. TIL
offer of the reward should extend to &C
cessories as well as principals. Tn
authors of the bloody deed must be O
the most desperate character, and detec
tives ought to be stimulated to action b
the hope of liberal compensation.
