BURGLARS Around.

Last night the house Of David Bowen,
on Eagle street, was entered by burg
lars who effected an entrance by opening a
window on the back porch. They went
about their work so noiselessly that they
did not arouse the dog which was sleeping
in the house. After oartaking of refresh
ments, during which they showed g
partiality for fruit cake as they did moi
touch any other, they left, carrying with
them a coat, pair Of pants and pair o.
boots, belonging to Mr. Bowen, and which
were nearly new, aud Mrs. Bowen's poke

money, not oyer five or six dollars.

THE UNION ADMITS IT'S vENAL
ITY
And Openly Defends the Rascalities OF
Osterberg.

While trying to keep straddle of the
fence in regard to the attempt of Oster-
berg to swindle Capt. Robinson, the Union
has, at last, got clean over the fence on
on the Osterberg side. and this morn
ing, by fair inference from its
language, admits that it does so be-
cause Osterberg, Skinner & Co., have
bought up the paper with advertising and
job printing. Nobody is surprised at this
The Union has always been in the market
ready to sell out to anybody, or black mail
anybody whenever opportunity is offered
The public have not forgotten how it de-
nanded of Hon. John B. Hawley the sum
of 200 as the price Of aiding his re-
nomination. We have the original affi-
daVits to that fact, sworn to by Mr.. Haw-
ley, VIM. jackson, and f. D. Sweeney,
before A. f. Cutter, notary public
Probably Mr.. Jackson could have re-
tanned the post office had he consented to
divide with Haverstiek. And so could
Col. Burgh have retained the office from
which he has just been removed if he had
been willing to pay the Union ring. Ii
surprises no one to see the Union on the
side that pays the best. But we hardly
expected it, even by inference, as it does this
morning, to admit that it has no principles
but is always on the side that pays.

THE THIRTEENTH GRADE.
They Have Some Fun al d Plant Tree

Notwithstanding the hot day, and the
black clouds, and the few drops of rain
which fell, about half past two O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, quite number OF
visitors assembled in the high school room,
to witness the funny performances of the
graduating class of 1876. of the 18th
grade-not the graduating exercises, but
the frolic of the class and the annual
ceremony Of planting tree. Quite a
number of prominent citizens were present.
Mr.. McMastor, of the school board, Rev.
Mr.. Findley, Mr. john Barge and others
occupied seats on the platform.
At about 3 o clock the members of the
18th grade fled in aud took their seats,
and about minutes later the members OF
the 18th grade appeared in very mirth-
provoking costumes.
The exercises opened with the song
MARY Had a Little Lamb, by the whole
class, and at the close of each line, the
chorus, Shouting the Battle Cry o.
Freedom, thus producing a very ludicrous
and laughable effect.
The valedictory address was then reat
by Miss Hannah Mills.
The historian Of the class. Miss Add,
Cooke, then gave soae incidents in tn,
lives of the members of the class which
caused much merriment as some happ,
hits were made.
Next came an instrumental duet b,
Misses Alice Lloyd and Alice Russell.
The prophecies, Miss Laura Hill, the
told her class mates what they might ex
pect in the future, which was particular
bright for some, and not quite SO brigl
for others, especially those whom sh
prophesied would spend their lives in tn
kitchen.
Miss Grace Kenworthy then delivered
in manner which drew forth applaus
from The audience, the following

Miss Fannie Palmer, on behalf Of the
Thirteenth grade, presented, with some
advice, tuning fork, which, judging from
its size, must be the father of all forks, to
the members Of the Twelfth grade, which
was accepted for them by Miss Daisy
Hardy, with an appropriate response.
Willie Palmer, on behalf of the Twelfth
grade, then presented to the members Of
the Thirteenth mock diplomas and
certificates, written in Latin and English
which, when translated, read as follows:

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.
As Stated IN a Recent Interrie.o.

Washington, Dec. 11.-In an inter
view, yesterday, the President said he
had never instructed Gen. Ruger to
place troops in the South Carolina
state-house, but that that was the way
Gen. Ruger understood his orders.
Troops were in South Carolina, the
President said, in obedience to the call
of Gov. Chamberlain, to suppress an
instruction too formidable for him to
control, and had it not been for these
troops Chamberlain would have been a
refugee to-day, as Gov. Ames now is
from Mississippi. The President said
he looked upon the situation as embar-
RAISING, to say the least. A good deal
Of bad temper had been shown on the
Democratic side, and many were acting
unreasonably. They seemed to fear
that he was doing what was right, and
were abusing everybody for not yield
ing to their views. This struck him as
strange, considering the scenes through
which we have passed. Gov. Hayes
represented the party that carried the
late election in all but four Of the states
that furnished the means for the sup

Washington, Dec. 11.-In relation to
the counting of the votes in the Senate
chamber, the Senate having maintained
by an overwhelming majority, includ-
ing a majority of Democratic Senators
that the I'D joint rule is abrogated, the
presiding officer will rule that nothing
is in order except to open the certificates
and count the votes. He will permit
no debate and entertain no motion. II
the House Democrats still insist on the
privilege of throwing out returns from
one or more states, and withdraw un-
der the leadership of Randall to carry
out such project, they will not find the
doors locked, as some of them appre-
bend. They will be admonished as
they depart that the proceeding is
wholly unconstitutional and will not
interfere with the completion of the
count. The count will go on and the
result will show that Hayes is presi-
