-Fds,er and hts brother, Douglas Foster
,s,en, in the house at night, being at their
places Of business all day, wBlle the iamliy
of the former were at Cape May, thus ieaying
no one about the premises in the daytime.
ON Saturday Dir. Reuben Foster Went 70
Cape MAY 10 accompany bis wife home Mon
day. His brother, on returning TO tDe mouse
Saturday evening. was sstonished to fiuu
everything sy.turvy-drgwers, bureaus,
trunks, secretaries, &C., haTiDg beer fan-
sacked and the contents scattered over the
floors.
The robbers appear to have been Oh TIE
search for money, US every probable receptae
Gle in which it might have been seereted was
examined and the eontents thrown about
the rooms. In secretary Of Mr. Fosters
they found gold pen and penefs, and
tootbpick, which they approprlateG A lot
of silver spoons they disdained to take, but
threw them on the floor. In the third story,
in room occupied by Mr.. Douglas Foster,
they found the bonds, which they took.
They also supplied themselves with carpet
bag and two suits Of clothes. putting on one
of the suits, apparently, as an old suit vas
found on the floor which had evidently been
left by the thief, in the pockets Of which |
were found razor and u mouth organ. Eli
trance into the house was effected 10y saving
out the stats of window shutter and rats
ing the window. The window is on side
of the house, divided from the next house
oy fifteen.foot alley, aud the thief must
have run considerable risk Of being seen by
some of the family in the next house in en-
tering and coming out Of MIR. Fosters.
Information of the robbery was given to
the detectives, and yesterday the carpet.bag,
a pair of gold sIeeve-buttons, and some
trinkets were found by them at second
hand shop on Harrison street and identified
by Mr.. Foster. Notice was also at once
given to the proper officials of the Phladci-
Dhia city government OF the loss OF the bonds,
with an application for their renewal. The
bonds are only legally transferable by the
OF the owner, and it is not likely,
therefore, that the thief will be able TO pro-
fit by their possession. 1t was rather bold
robbery, in the daytime or early evening, in
O house with occupied dweI'ing.houses all
around it.-Bdltm0re Sun, 26th.

The travelling companion Of that gentleman

visit America again. In q recent letter to al

and he portrays in terms which are not too
eXtravagant the advantages of climate,

be found Oh the Continent. 1t has been
badly abused and neglected. Those
who reclaim and subdue it will estab-
Iish for their children productive homes
and expanding fortunes equal to those at any
time offered upon american soil. Virginia
has two months less winter than New York.
She has the advantage of eaIly market prices

That Virginia has not been the first manu-

ALABAMA AND CIVIL RIGnTs.-The Reput-
leans of Alabama played i pretty shrewd
trick when in convention assembled they
adopted, among others, i resolution declar-
ing that the " Republican party does not de.
sire or seek mixed schools or mixed accom-
modatioHs for the colored people" 1t must
be manifest to all who are familiar with the
proceedings of Congress that this clause was
thrown in for the sole purpose of catching
votes, and the people Of the South should
not be deceived by 1t. If it be true that this
is the sentiment of the Alabama Republic
cans, it is certainly not that of the great body
of the Republicans in Congress, who are the
arbiters of this ciyil-rights question. The
clause in the bill relating to mixed schools
was always spoken OF by the Democrats as
its most Objectionable feature, while on the
other hand Republicans proclaimed it to be
the cornerstone and chief element of the
whole proposition. In all the speeches on
the subject this clause was most elaborated,
especially by the southern members, who
were the most interested as representing the
largest colored constituencies.
An examination of the Congressional Re.
cord will show that on two occasions some
of the more moderate Republicans suggested
that the school clause be stricken out, always
recognizing it as the most Objectionable fea
ture. This suggestion was hooted down
from all quarters on the Republican side, or
the ground that if it prevailed the bill would
be worthless. In view of these facts, the
southern whites should not be caught by
this chaff thrown out by the Alabama Re
publicans. Besides, the very Convention
| that adopted this resolution subsequently,
nominated Messrs. White and Sheets for con
gressmen at large. Both these gentlemen a,
the last session voted at every opportunity
for the civilrights bill-school features ant
al-and neither Of them had a word Of pro
| test to utter against it, Washington tele

| the publishing house in Richmond, on the
first Sabbath in December; and the order Of
last year was renewed touching the collec.

The narrative to the Synod on the state of
religion. gathered from the congregational
reports, as usual presented features On the
one hand of discouragement,a and cause for
lamentation and humiliation; and on the
other of encouragement. The need Of revi-
val was forciby presented-the lack of the
| manifest and powerful presence of the Holy
| Spirit in the churches. In connection with
the reading of the narrative, Rev. MIR. w ha-
rey made touching statement in regard to
the recent burning OF the old Lacy mansion
/ in bis congregation, avery lamentable and
distressing loss to the family.
Much of the time was spent in public
worship and preaching the gospel to the as.
sembled multitude; for which purpose q
preaching stand and seats were arranged
under the noble trees on the hillside in front
of the church, adjacent to the church spring

tally of the good people at Hat Creek con-
gregation cordial and profuse. 1t was anna
zing to see what crowds they fed bountifully
from their well loaded tables around the
church. The vote of thapksfor their hospi-

We shall long remember the occasion with

THE IMPORTANCE DE ONE VOTE

Hundreds of times we have, in our edi-
torial experience, called attention to the
fact that people stay away from the polls
every year saying, lone vote wont change
the result" when they know that one vote
made Jefferson President one vote made
Marcus Morton Governor; one vote chang
ed to Atkinson would have defeated Kist-
Ter for the Legislature, in this county, some
years ago. We might point to numerous
instances where one or few votes are of
immense Importance We all believe that
Mr. Cable was elected to Congress in 1870
and that he was cheated out of his election
by the Warren county returns. But al
lowing the returns to have been hon
est, change Of % votes in the whole Dis
trict would have elected him. A change
of votes in this county last fall would
have beaten Sam Porter And yet hun
dreds of people neglect their duty year af
ter year, and then growl at the result.
The great popular excitement occasioned
by the increased Congressional pay 10
1916, the traditions of which are still fresh
In the public mind after nearly two gen
erations have passed away, involved only
small amount of money compared with
the millions recently distracted from the
Treasury on a similar pretext, The nre-
vious compensation had been So a day Of
actual service, and mileage. 1t was raised
to 81, 800 year, and that led to an explo-
sion OF wrath such as has not been sinee
witnessed until like cause produced the
effects that are now seen and felt all over
the country.
The change by the act of 1916 increased
the pay ofeach member about $500, and
the whole cost to the Treasury did not ex-
coed $ll2,000. Therefore it was not the
amount of dollars and cents, but princi-
pie, which stirred up that stern resentment
After the war of 1912 the business inter.
ests were in suffering condition. as thew
now are for another reason, and the peo.
pie became indignant at seeing their REP.
resentatives augmenting their own paw
when retrenchment was demanded as a
patriotic duty.
That lesson was remembered by political
leaders for forty years, for no serious at.
tempt was made to touch the pay unit
1856. In the midst of the Kansas agita.
ton OF that year the per diem system was
suspended and salary of $4,000 a wear
established. The contest over it was
