year: When men are completely sunk in

they Immediately grew dissatisfied with their
state, and are wretched indeed if they are
not daily rising higher and higher. The
most profitable influence of public schools,
where there is a suilicency of good teachers,
is in blending the community into one kim
dred. Here the children of the rich and the
children of the poor meet together, and each
class eXerts good influence upon the other.
The higher class will learn to know, and re-
spect and to admire those of the other, and
thd lowerclass will be raised in manners and
refinement, and will become ambitious and
improve their condition. They will learn
more of neatness, more of skill, and will be
elevated in their own IDEAS of what they can
do, and will also be stimulated to attempt
more than they otherwise would have done.
Thus the lower half of the community will
be every day feeling the expansive force and
and power Of higher thoughts, and will of
course do more to make the nation intelligent
and prosperous, while no one will setter in

Charley Ross.

Two burglars were shot last Monday morning
at Bay Ridge, Long Island, and one of them
confessed before he died that he was the alb
ductor of Charlie Ross, but did not state the
whereabouts Of the boy.
The names of the burglars were Mosier and
Clark. The Phila. Ledger of yesterday says
There is no reasonable room for doubt that
the two men, Mosier and Clark, killed on
Monday morning at Bay Ridge, Long Island,
whilst attempting to commit burglary, were
participants in the abduction of Charlie Ross.
The information Of their probably connection
with the case was communicated in the first in.
stance to Mr.. Wang, the Superintendent of
Police in New York, aud by him made known
to Chiefs OF Police i'll Philadelphia. The
presence of Mosier and Clark in Philadelphia
at the time of the abduction was traced up,
their disappearance aud their aliases where
discovered, their former haunts were found by
our Police Department and by the New York
Police Department, and ultimately a sufficient
body OF slrcumStantlal evidence was built up to
justify the pursuit, as the Ross abductors, of
the two men who were killed yesterday morning
The beginning Of this informant dates back
as far as August and the police of the two cities
have been in search of MlOsier aud Clark since
that time. But they could never be found
near any of their old haunts, and all knowledge
OF their whereabouts was denied by those who
ought to have known. About the first OF
October, it became so certain that Mosier and
Clark were the abductors, and that there was
probability that the missing child was
concealed on a boat or yacht somewhere about
Long Island Sound, or on the waters in the
vicinity of New York, or that the abductors, il
not the child, were to be found in that vicinity,
that u gentleman of this city, in conjunction
with the Chief OF Detectives here, chartered q
steamtug. and had it cruising for a week il

they are dead, it may be that the parties who
have had the child in concealmSnt Will be
tempted to restore it 70 the parents, whose
hearts have been agonized so long.
AN ACCOUNT OF TIE CAPTURE.
The burglars attempted to enter an unoccu-
pied dwelling short distance away from the
Van Brunt residence, which was connected
with it by burglar alarm, which notified the
inmates of the latter house of the presence of
buglars in tho former. Then the burglars were
notified OF their discovery by the rafting of the
cellal door, when slight stir was heard by Mr..
an Brunt at the open cellar door at the rear,
through whlch it was evident that the burglars
had effected their entrance, and moment after
two heads peered cautiously out together. Mr..
Van Brunt fired Immediately, his shot shatter-
ing several panes OF window & ass and probably
wOunding one Of the men, who cried out SO
loudly that his complaints we're heared next
door by the women. Both burglars started on
run. A Mr.. Scott quickly came to close quar-
ters with one of the burglars, aud discharged
shotgun close to his body. As the gun had
been loaded for several years it kicked with
such force that Scott was knocked down by
the recOll When he reganed his feet he found
that his antagonist had fallen fatally wounded,
the charge from the shotgun having entered
his bowels, which wers mangl6d in frighttul
manner. The other man was met by " Allie
Van Rrunt, ON seeing whom he suddenly
turned at bay. When the latter was close upon
him the burglar, with an OATH raised his
revolver and fired his weapon, almost touching
the young man 5 arm. Clubbing his gun Van
Brunt rushed at him, striking him violently on
the arm, and breaking the barrel from the
stock by the blow. AS the revolver dropped
from his grasp, the desperate robber stopped
and picked il up with the same hand, and then
lifting his injured arm with his lett hand, again
pointed the pistol. Before be could fire,
young Van Brunt sprang past him to Que side,
aud discharged three shots from rvolver into
his back The robber sank to the ground,
crying II give up" He survived, in great
agony, for nearly all hour, and made startling
confession. He said that his name was j lose ph
! Douglass, alias Clark, and that of his dead
companion William Moshsr. Both, he said,
were well known to the police of \. y, and he
wished information Of their tate to he sent to
the head of the Police Department Mosher,

from Phlladelphia and he was his assistant III

where the boy was hG asserted that he did moi
know, as the secret OF his hiding place had
been kept from him by Mosher. lie added
that he had led life Of crime, aud that thin
was the second time he had been engaged in g
robbery at Bay Ridge He also said that he
was unmarried, but that his companion was
considerably older than he, and had a vile and
six children in New York.

A SOLUTION OF THE CHARLEY Ross CASE.
The confession of dying burglar on Long
Island bids fair to lead to the solution of the
Charley Ross case, mystery of crime which
has puzzled the brains of the Shrewdest detec
tlVes, aud been subject of more or less
comment and speculation in every newspaper
in the land for months. The whole country has
been placarded and ransacked until the name
and features of Charley Ross have become as
familiar to the baekwoodsman as to the friends
OF the unfortunate chid in Philadelphia. The
chapters added to this strange story are full of
thrilling incidents, rivaling romance in their
interest. There seems to be little doubt of the
fact that the abductors of the child have been
discovered. but as both of them are now dead
1t is still painfully uncertain whether Charley
Ross will be recovered and restored to his
home,
Smyrna times., 1874-12-16

The New POSTAL LAW, which goes into ef
feet January lst, has brought newspaper sub.
scrlptOns down to hard pan''-down to the
cash basis. In so far as this is the case the
law will have salutary effect. Under its pro-
visions publishers cannot afford to scatter their
journals heller skelter over the country. trust
ing to chances for the subscription, and then
pay, in cash outlay, twelve or fifteen cents for
each individual who gets the paper, in the
way of postage. 1t has never paid publishers
TO take these risks, as rule, yet it has been
done, merely for the sake of large subscrip-
tion list to parade before advertisers, hoping
to moro than make from them what was lost
by delinquent subscribers.
This foolish plan has been largely adhered
to by " class papsrs-those published in the
interests of particular sect, society or party.
Religious and reform journals have been mark
ed followers of the idea, particularly in cases
were the financial backing was weak. A pa.
per in Philadelphia, recently published in the
interests of large denomination and largely
circulated on the Peninsula, went off exclusive
ly on such basis. 1t seemed to take the idea
that all devoted members of the denomina-
tion would welcome it without question, and
it went to the address of hundreds without m
invitation. 1t presumed that every one who
took it from the postofice would pay for it.
1t seemed to still further presumed that those
who didn't take it were net worthy momberc
of the sect. Their motives we're hardly looked
upon as proper. The arguments il used to in
duce them to subscribe was little short of mora
black mail, if We may use such phrase. II
found, however, that people took it from the
postOfhce and asked no questions and paid n,
bills. As result it ceased publication with
$4,000 on its books. Had il been reduir
ed to pay fifteen cents for svey man risked Al
q subscriber it would have learned in the star
that there was no great demand for it. W.
think there are one or two papers nearer homt
that are in the same category. They vent t
all who would take them and questioned tn,
esrnestnsss of all who did not, and now the
find they cannot stand alone.
We are glad that the new law, though ex
pensive to the publisher, has been passed.
