Wholesale Burglaries.

PoUGIIKEEPsIE, July 16 Robberies
are becoming SO frequent at Cold Spring
in this neighborhood that the Inhabitants
are becoming greatly alarmed. 1t is be-
lleved by many that these depredations
are committed by an organized band of
mountain brigands On Wednesday night
the residences of John Adams, Samuel J
Owens, John Wise and James Dvkman
were entered and considerable property
carried off. A short time ago this gang
entered a house two miles east of Cold
Springs, bound and gagged the family,
stole quantity of money, and then en-
terlng barn near by, stole carriage and
team OF horses and hurried to Cold Stream
before Daylight There they robbed sew
eral houses, using violence upon the
sllShtest revocation. They worked quick
y and got away before daylight toward
Breakneek, driving up to Chiselhurst, the
mountain home of Clara Louise Kellogg.
There they alighted and demanded admiS-
sion. Miss Kellogg was quietly reposine
in her room. Her brother rose, and see
ing the scoundrels at the door, ordered
them away, at the same time pointed his
gun at them from the window. Nearly all
left, but seeing one or two stayed behind,
Kellogg fired and it is believed wounded
one. as blood was traced some distance.
Search being made, the stolen carriage
was found smashed to pieces on the rocks
of Breakneck, and the horse found roam
ing about at will, badly bruised and cut.
A vigilance committee is be empow-
cred to act summarily by the selectmen.

| House should be unusually large. The
war was just then closing and the work OF
reconstruction was to be begun. Mr. Lin
coins hospitality and his well-known gen
crosby were taxed to their fullest capaci-
ty and if there ever was a time when the
expenses of the Presidential Mansion
could have been .lustiliable large it was
| during the years 1S64-5. And yet we find
| that Mr.. Lincoln only required some $l2,-
| 900 more than did President Pierce Mr..
lincoln, while not the best man of his
time for President, was man OF plain
and simple habits, one who tried, as far
as he could, to expend the public reve-
| nues economically.
But let us look at the present expendi-
lures at the White House. in comparison
with the others given above. During an
era Of profound peace, and when there
| was no special tax on that Executive hos
pitality-or rather at q time syhen there
was no tax whatever on that hospitality
President Grant requires $67 900 per year
in addition to his duplicated salary, more
than did Mr.. Lincoln, and $S5, 900 more
than President Pierce These latter i'm
mense sums represent the amount that
Grant is drawing over and above the or
binary expenses of the White House, and
in addition to his regular salary of $50, 900.
1t will be observed that under the Grant
regime, there is $1,000 appropriated an
nually for the four items of repairs for the
Executive Mansion, relurnishing the same,
fuel for the same and for repairs upon the
greenhouse. These sums Of money. set
aside for such a purpose. are simply III
diculous. Not one-fourth of it could be
used for such purpose.
Under President Lincoln the allowance
for the same purposes amounted to ST.
400, and that at time when the thou
sands who flocked to the White House
every day, made repairs and refurnish-
ment necessary. President Pierce who
entertained more largely than Grant, re-
ceived 81, 800 for the same items that
Grant receives 100000 for

TRAINING A GALA county clerk in a
rural town had pet calf which he was train
ing up in the ways of the OK. The calf
walked around very peace ully under one end
Of the yoke, while Mr.. Clerk held up the
other end. But in an unfortunate moment
the man conceived the idea of putting his
own neck in the yoke to let the calf see how
it would seem to work with a partner: This
frightened the calf, and, elevating his tail
and voice, he struck "dead run" Tor the
village, and Mr.. Clerk went along, with his
head down and plug hat in his hand, strain

Disagreement OF Radical Senators In Caucus-The

Wilmer.

Disagreement Of Radical senators in Caucus-Th
Radical Leaders Perplexed-A Letter from Bishop
Wilmer.
Correspondence st. Louis Republican,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 49, - The Senate had
two long caucuses to-day to consider the Lou
isiana question, and the reports are that there
was plentiful lack of harmony and that they
adjourned until tomorrow without coming to
any agreement. The recognition Of Kellogg
and the admission of Pirchback, the recogni-
ton of Kellogg, but not the admission of
Pinchback, and neither the recognition Of the
Governor nor the Senator, We're propositions
which had each its earnest advocates and no
one counted majority.
| 1t is impossible to predict the damage to
party interests if the question is permitted
to come up in the Senate while this variance
of opinion continues among the faithful.
They have been nearly q month now trying
to harmonic and are no nearer that desirable
condition than they were at the beginning.
Great things were hoped from the second
committee investigation in New Orleans, but
as that seems to be doing nothing but making
the conclusion Of the first investigation all
the stronger, the senatorial wiseacres are in q
pitiable muddle. There is one way out and
that is to turn out the carpet-bag crew of
usurpers, and even Republican Senate may
be brought to see that in the end.
BISHOP WILMER.
An extract purporting to be from a private
letter by Bishop Wilmer, Of New Orleans, is
in circulation, and attracting some attention
here. He speaks Of the misrepresentation
that has been made of his testimony before
the committee, and adds in reference to the
committees report:
The assembled army of the United States |
should have have done what the committee |
has done to win back the friendship of an
abused people. Since the report was made |
public, the prayer for Congress has been read |
in churches in which it has not been heard |
since the close of the war.
THE LOUISIANA DEBATE.
The Louisiana debate in the Senate to-day
again attracted crowds of people, and the
speeches of Conkling and Gordon both seem
70 have been extremely satisfactory to their
friends. Gordon's speech, particularly, is
much talked about, and it is believed, from
he popularity Of his position will go down
o posterity, like Lamar's eulogy on Summer,
N historic event.
