CAPTURE OF HORSE THiEF.-About two
months ago. we mentioned the case of one
Benton Hauser, who, only few days after
his release from New Castle Jail. where he
had been serving out a term of imprisonment
for the same offence, stole horse and car
riage from +. w. Lewis, proprietor OF the
Black Horse livery stables, Front and Jeffer-
son streets The theft was committed Hnder
pretense Of hiring the team for the purpose of
going to West Chester. Iiauser sold the team
TO man in Kingston, Pa, for $40, receiving
$50 cash, and agreeing to return for the bal
ance. Lewis traced him to this place, and
there recovered his property, but up to this
tim had heard nothing of the thief. Yester-
day, however, Chief Brady received letter
from Kingston. stating that IIauser had re-
turned to that town, and had been taken into
custody by Constable James Dewitt. lie is
now confined there awaiting the action of Mr.
Lewis

CiYn Rights.

Tho republican party are by no

Il Rights, The New York World, in
discussing the subject recently, says
the Civil Rights Bill seem to be doing
It's work etFeclually among Southern
Radicals. In Alabama au open rup-
turc has already occurred between the
negroes, who make the support Of that
measure the supreme test Of Worthiness
in candidates for their support, and
some Of their white leaders who seek
to evadc the issue Of civil rights. In
Georgia the negroes will hear OF nc
other issue than civil rights, or regard
any other qualification than supper! oil
the bill, which is lefs hanging between
the Senate and the House for the ne.
grOes to grasp at during the summer
and fall. Thus the outcome Of the
tribnte which the Senate paid to Mr.
Sumner is that the negroes are every
where forcing the race issue even upon
white men who have hitherto consorted
them IN politics. We shall have tc
thank the Senate next fall for some
Democratic victories in States which,
! like Alabama, have heretofore been
considered doubtful.

metal, and vindicates the wisdom Of the
Democratic party, in selecting Mr..
squircs as its standard bearer in lhe up.
preaching campaign. In this instance
the office sough! the man, and not the

both unexpected aud unsolicited by

Us indicative Of the determination Of

dulity Of the people. We arc conf.
dent, however that the sovereigns will
take such professions with several
grains of allowance, aud burying these
Office seekers under the scandal Of their

Radical Trickery.

The Radical organs in this State arr
continually bowling and harping tina
tho Democratic party is opposed II
popular education, aud that tho new
school law has greatly retarded the
ussfulncEs Of tho public Schools. Thi'
the people Of the State know to be a
falschood. We have just passed
through q schOO! year, and all but
demagogucs who want a hobby to ride
into Office, admit that our free school.
arc now upon a safer and flrmCr foun.
dation than they ever we're under Rad
ical rule. They do not toll you that
the greatest stride ever made toward
the complete destruction of free schools,
was made by tho Republican party in
the passage by the United States Sen.
ate Of the Civil Rights Bill, and which
was supported by one hundred and
thiriy odd Republicans 10 the lower
House Of Congress. 1t was intended
by this bill to force negroes into tho
white schools of this State, and Of all
the States in :this Union. Are you
ready to vote with such party2
