Garden Thieves.

Numerous complaints have been made by
citizens who are fortunate enough to have
fruit trees and flowers in the gardens at
tached to their residences of the depredations
of thieves, in most instances halEgrown boys,
who, under cover of night, invade their prem
ises and make sad havoc with the vines aud
fruit trees, in many instances not even suffering
it to become ripe. We know of one case where
lady, residing in one of the finest portions
Of the city-near the corner of Third and
streets-who has been giving careful attention
to the culture of fine peaches, but whose eff
forts have been entirely frustrated by the van
dalism of these youthful thieves who nightly
depredate upon the fruit, not caring to allow
them TO ripen. Such cases as this call for the
attention of the police. Grape-YineS suffer to
the same extent, and there seems to be very
little remedy for the evil. Humane people
rcpel the idea OF keeping savage dogs to protect
themselves from such assaults, and look upon
spring guns with much horror as they do
upon lying in wait to shoot invaders; but the
evil requires a remedy OF some sort, and theves
NAV lake warning.

THE WATER TAX QUESTION.
Enjoining the District Commissioners

Messrs. j. II. Bradley, W. d. Cassin and
Hugh Caperton, as counsel for Mr.. James T.
Welch, last Saturday filed bill against the
Commissioners CT the District and the water
registrar for an injunction to enjoin the de-
PENDANTS from interfering with complainants
In his use and enjoyment of the Potomac
water. The bill recites that on the Sd of
March, 1859, Congress passed an act providing
for the care of the water works, in which the
engineer is given full power over the works,
and it is made his duty to regulate the manner
in which the pipes shall be tapped, and to
stop the same whenever the same is found no
more than adequate to meet the wants of the
General Government; his decisions subject
only to appeal to the Secretary of the Interior
and that Georgetown determined to pay the
whole cost, and under the acts of the corpora
tiOD of Georgetown he paid his share, and,
with the citizens of Georgetown, he should be
free from said tax. He sets forth that by the
18th section of the act of July 70, 1876, all
laws and ordinances in force in Washington
relating to the payment and collection of water
rents were extended over the District. He
charges that if said section is enforced great
wrong and injustice will be done, and viola
tion of the contract between the Government
and the citizens of Georgetown will result
He sets forth that the Commissioners propose
to carry into effect this act and that bills have
Tee n sent out by the water registrar, aud prepa-
rations made to shut off their supply of water
by the 1st of September. Therefore, he prays
an Injunction, &c,
