The Revelations in the Ross Case.

A man whose word is worthless during
life is often believed in death, and thus the
dying confession Of one Of the burglars
shot at Bay Ridge, Long Island, Ia full &C
count of which appears:in this paper, that
he and his comrade were the kidnappers Of
Charley Ross, is generally accepted as
truth. He had no motive for lying; he
was dangerously wounded and knew that
he must die This man, Douglas, desired
that the little money he had in his posses
sion should be applied to procuring him a
decent burial, and said that his dead COM
panion had stolen the boy and that he was
his assistant in the deed. 1t is strange
how the punishment of one crime leads to
the detection of another, and there is
reason to hope that the tragic death OF
these daring men may result In the restor-
alton of Charley Ross to his parents.
Unless Douglas, in the moment of death,
added an unmeaning and wanton falsehood
to his other sins, there is no cause to doubt
that he and Mosher were the abductors OF
the child of whom, during five months. un.
awaiting search has been made The po-
lice authorities now state that they had
suspected these men, and had been il
search for them; and this is not merely ar
idle boast it is shown by the tul report Of
the facts in this paper. The superinten
dent of the New York police is said to have
supposed Mosher and Douglas to be the
kidnappers from the description given o.
them. There is, therefore. good reason,
besides the confession Of the dying man, u
believe that tie perpetrators Of the crime
have been discovered, and the recovery OF
the child ought to be the consequence.
The motive for further conceament Is
destroyed by the death Of the principals;
; The storm of Indignation which followed
, the Kidnapping was wholly unexpected by
those men and they became afraid Of the
consequences of their own dead. lhey
did not dare to surrender the child. But
f some person must have been in the con
, fidence of Mosher, and as he Is beyonc
: all human power to harm, and Us hotnlns
now is to be gained by the retention OF the
how nothing risked by his restoration, 1t
il probable that person will soon appear.
The police have a clew now which they
lcan hardly lose, and, unless Charlie Ross
has been killed. which there is every rea
son to doubt. he is likely to be soon re-
store ed TO his family. Thus a happy en-
ding may be hoped for domestic trag-
edy which has thrilled every home in
America and has become by its mysterl-
GUS and exceptional nature, almost
a national sorrow. If it were a romance
it would not be believed, and as true
story it stands almost alone In the crimi-
nal annals of our day.

"Vags.'

The city authorities Of Davenport have
a very convenient and cheap way of getting
clear of vagrant paupers,a will be seen by
the following two items from the Democrat

And thus it is that class of vaga-
bonds, sneak thieves, pimps, sealawags,
loafers and paupers are kicked back
and forth across the river, picking up lodg-
ings ami food in the iails of each side. \
little lively work on the part of our police
force ought TO make it very uncomfortable
for any of these creatures to stay over
nigh, in this town. Sneak thieving and
burglary were neyer 50 prevalent in this
city as during the past sixor eight months.
