Several Of the crimes lately committed IN this
country apparently indicate that the criminals,
though seemingly 10 the possession Of the iacul-
ties common to sane people, are not responsible
agents. For instance; in New York, yesterday,
q grandson Of the late Comm odore Vanderbilt
was arrested aud committed to the T0mhs for
stealing watch. and yet, on that very dag, an
income of $40 900 year began to fall due to
him under the terms of his graodfatber's will
Now, while the theft Of watch may, 10 many
cases, be readily accounted fer. when commit
ted By young man of education, reared under
Christian influences. moving in the highest
circles OF society, and asseciatlog daily with
gentlemen Of honor aud probty, ard having an
income Of ten thousand dollars year, it be-
comes inexpiicahle. for leaving out Of considera
ton every other condition but the latter, it is
contrary to ordinary ideas TO suppose that a
sane mau, 10 the possession of ten thousand
dollars year, would run the risk, imminent as
it proved, of detection, exposure. Imprisonment
and ruined life, for SO small stake as a
watch Ii be had stolen the late Commodore 5
will then the theft would have been recopci!
able with bis possession Of reason, but as be
stole watch, when he could have stepped out
Cd tue street and purchased B dozen better
ones without any trouble, his action is almost
unsc,ountabs, except upon the grounds Of
some mental defect.

On the 18th of December, 1855, MIR. Benton
presented to the Senate petition, numerous'y
signed, 90 the subject Of the financial condition
of Alexandria. The petitioners stated that the
corporate authorities had to say the least OF 1t,
grossly mismanaged the affairs of the city, and
that the city had been involved in difficulties
and debts beyond its ability to pay, state OF
things bearing hard on the middliug aud indus
trious classes. The petitioners prayed to be
delivered from their Holland debt, and for such
other relief 10 their embarrassments as Con
eress in its wisdom might see tit 10 grant.
Alexandria being in 1885 part Of the District
of Columbia very properly looked to Congress
for relief from the effects Of the bad manage
ment of her corporate authorities. At present
when her foaucial affairs are 10 as desperate a
condition as they were in 1885, or at any other
period of her history, her ability to meet all her
liabilities being considered, she has no quarter
to which she can turn for relief. Like the freed
