Two Old Men Robbed OF a LARGE
Amount in Specie.

SrRorpsguRG, Pa, Nov. %.
The want of employment resulting
from the stagnatiun in business in
this region is bearing fruit in an
alarming increase in crime. The law
lossness that ia prevailing in the coal
mining gdistIicts is spreading through
ont the State. and local prints are
filed with the particulars of crimes
OF every nature. There is growing
feeling of uncasinoss in every quar-
ter, and in this section it has been
greatly increased by the frequent
hold and successful robbcries that
are being committed Since tho ex
press robbcrics at Manunka Chunk.
particulars of the following daring
outrage have been received
Near Frankfort Springs. Beaver
county, live two brothers, named re-
spcctivcly John and Samuel MGuire.
They are bachelors, and have lived
alone for years, during which time
they have been engaged extensively
in tho wool business. They were
known to have on hand about S12,-
OOO worth Of wool. and on Tuesday
of last wocl, stranger called at their
house and made inquiries about the
wool, saying that he wanted to buy
a lot, and that he would take all OF
theirs if they would sell it Mt rca-
sonNLle price. The VI CURES set a
price on their wool which the stran-
ger thought was too high, and he
took his leave without purchasing
The actions of the man made the
brothers her suspicious of him.
1t had been the belief that they had
secroted about their house large sums
Of money in gold and silver, which
they had been accumulating and
boarding for years. The sequel
proved tho general opinion on the
subject to be well,founded.
Two days after the stranger had
been to MGuire's, Samuel, who is
siXty-nin years of age, was alone in
the house, his brother John having
gone to Frankfort Springs postoflice.
About three o'clock in the afternoon
fom masked men entered the room
where he was sitting Without any

And thus may II ever be. The well
fare of civilized society demands that
he who commits murder should lose
his own life or be confined during his
life In solitary prison. In other
words, society should protect itsell
against such murderous beings. We
trust that MS better men are placed on

TT will be seen by reference to u table
elsewhere, in to-day's HERALD, that the
increase of population in the north
west counties has been very great, and
yet the table does not show the true
increase up to the election on the I'd
of December last. This is plain from
the fact that all emigrants who had
settled in those counties from other
States, inside of the previous twelve
months, We're denied the right of suf-
frage. The number Of new settlers
thus, clt otfsis large. Compare the
votes ofsuch counties as Hood, Erath,
Palo Pinto, Parker, Wise, Montague
and Others, for the years Of 1872 and
1873, and abundant cause will be found
to rejoice at their rapid growth. Be.
sides this, there are such counties as
Young, Stephens, Throckmorton, East

ganized, but in which are large num-
her Of new settlers. 'a

EVERY now and then in Texas quie
people are annoyed for moment by
the act OF some wiseacre locating Ger.
tificates on old titled land. Thirty
years ago IL was common till the SUI
preme court, by repeated decisions fol
years, taught such gentry better sense
Az this day ii is only attempted by
occasional "sharpers,n. so-callcd, but
really the most verdant of individuals
IL is too late to successfully levy black
mail IN that way. From thoearliest
decisions OH the complicated surveys
OF Kentucky, in all State and federal
courts, including the unbrohcn decis.
ions Of Texas for thirty years, 1t has
been held that when government pa.
tents land to A. or b., calling for Ger.
tain l-nown metes and bounds
although the bounds may contain
double the quantity of land called for
yet the patentee shall hold. The good
Of society and the State and the pro.
lection of third parties as purchasers,
render this rule absolutely necessary.
Besides, under Texas decisions, If any
one would be entitled to seize upon the
excess It would be the State itself,
and not an individual, for who,
in such case, would be the injured
party? Most assuredly the State and
note. or ID. If c. or d. owns land
certificate he Is entitled TO locate it
only on the vacant and unappropriated
public domain of Texas, but to not q
scintilla of right to lay it upon land
which the State has already patented
to another. Were that admissible, no
sane man would invest his means in
Texas lands, Fortunately the oft re-
peated decisions of our Supreme court,
when the giants Hemphill, Lipscombe
and Wheeler adorned the bench, long
ago and forever settled this question.
We refer to this subject now because
of incidentally learning that several
tracts of land in various localities were
being located upon, on the ground that
they contained more land than the
number Of acres named in the patents.
Ifany one so threatened feels uneasy,
we advise him TO eat his hog and hon.
my in peace and sleep In perfect quiet,
for his rights are as secure, so far as
that question goes, as Is the title of the
United States to the capitol at Wash
ington.
