Alex. Bryce. Jr., United States Post-
matter and ChamberIain's Auditor.
Arrested for Larceny.

At Waihalla on the 9th inst. before
Trial Justice Morgan. preliminary hear
ing WIS had Of the case Of the State
against A. Bryce, .Jr., and w. K. Bryce,
charged with grand larceny in having
broken into the Auditors Office and stolen
the books Of the same. The defendant,
A. Bryce, Jr., was not present. The Trial
Justice, on hearing the evidence as to
the other defendant, decided 10 send the
case up u the Court Of Sessions. The
defendant, A. Bryce. Jr. at the time he
had the books in his possession, claimed
to be County Auditor under the appoint
meut OF Chamberlain, and had demanded
Of the County Commissioners the key and
property of the Office, which had been re-
fused. No proof as to the person who
entered and removed the books from the
Office has yet been folId, the case Of the
State resting On the lnss and the posses,
sion Of the lost property by the deien-
dant The case will doubtless be com.
plicated one, involving the question Of
intention, the right to the property as
Auditor, &C., on the part of the defen-
dan.. The connection of w. K. Bryce
with the matter results from the pouch
containing two of the alleged books being
in lis hands at the time Of tie execution
Of the search warrant. Alex. Bryce, Jr.,
who, like other Radicals, was fond Of
holding ~ many Offices as he could get,
was Postmaster at Walhalla, as well as
Chamberlan's Auditor, aud he used the
mail bags to conceal the stolen books.
The constable seized one Of those bags
containing the goods, and it is still heli
by the Trial Justice in charge of the case.
The compound Auditor and Postmaster
was highly enraged as this indignity to
the United States as represented by the
mai! bug, and thereupon proceeded 10
illuminate dire threats against the offend
ing official in the following letter, which,
take il all in all, is o pretty fair compo-
sition for Chamberlain appointee:

The Trial Justice very properly replied
to the threat that when the stolen prop
erty was taken out of the bag and surren.

The Supreme Court has not yet decided
any Of the numerous cases involving the
question as to the Governor and the re-
manning State officers. The argument
has been made in various cases before
the Court, and the delay in reaching
conclusion Ia quito unsatisfactory to the
public. The complication in this State
will likely gain relief 30 soon as the
national troubles are settled We do
not expect any other result than that the
Supreme Court will decide in favor Of
Governor Hampton, and that its decision
will be enforced, no matter who is the
President. In the meantime, Governor
Hampton is quietly absorbing all the

An Incident OF the Night After she
Battle OF fredericksburg

An Incident of the Night After the
Battle OF fredericksburg
Judge Rozo in Philadelphia Times.l
When, on the return to Marye's
Heights, the command first filed in
from the road, there appeared to be
thin line Of soldiers sleeping on
the ground to be occupied. They
seemed to make a sort of row or
rank. 1t was as if line of skir-
mishers had halted and lain down
they were perfectly motionless; their
sleep was profound. Not one of
them awoke and got up. They
were not relieved, either, when the
others came. They seemed to have
no commander - at least none
awake. Had the fatigues of the
day completely overpowered all OF
them, officers and privates alike: +:
They were nearest the enemy,
within call Of him They were the
advance line of the Union army.
Was it thus that they kept their
watch, on which the safety of the
whole army depended, pent up be-
tween the ridge and the river? The
enemy might come within ten steps
of them without being seen, The
fog was a veil. No one knew what
lay or moved or crept little dis
tance off. The regiments were
allowed to lie down. In doing so,
the men made a denser rank with
those there before them. Still those
others did not waken. If you
looked closely at the face Of any
one Of them, in the mist and dim
ness, it was paid, the eyes closed,
the mouth open, the hair was dis
heVeled besides, the attitude was
often painful. There were blood
marks, also. These men were all
dead. Nevertheless, the new. com
ers lay down among them and rest
cd. The pail of night concealed
the foe now. The sOmber uncer-
tainty of fate enveloped the morrow.
One was saved from the peril of the
charge, but he found himself again
on Marye's Hill, near the enemy,
face to face with the dead, sharing
their couch, almost in their en-
brace, in the mist and the Deccm-
Der night. Why not accept them
as bed fellows? The bullet that
laid low this one, if it had started
diverging by ever SO small an an
gle, would have found the hearts
blood of that other who gazed upon
them, 1t was chance or provi.
denoe, which tomorrow might be
less kind. So they lay down with
the dead, all in line, aud were
lulled asleep by the monotOny of
the cries of the wounded scattered
everywhere.

remedied had he been blessed

the thing. Comparing the present
with the Harvard of old, he SAYS
" Would old Harvard 90 in

ward have been allowed TO make a
public scandal by riotous midnight
entertainments given by students

praved dancers in this troupe

that the police had to interfere?
Woald the social leaders of old
Harvard collect at the stage door
of theater, as did the Harvard
boys on a recent Saturday night,
waiting for the students and
dancers, who had given out that
they were going to have a final
debauch ? Old Harvard carried off
gates and had an occasional 'rush
with the police, but would never
have sustained vice of this nature.

The Russian commune, or mir,
is the most prominent among Rus
sian Institutions. 1t constitutes a
sort Of democratic government.
The rassembly," which is composed
of the heads Of families, makes all
the laws, directs all during the har-
vest, manages the labor, Furnishes
those who do not pay taxes, etc. 1t
elects the elder "a sort of mayorl,
the collector, the watchmen of the
night, the burgher Of the village.
At certain periods the central ad
miniStration' reyIews all the male
peasants Of the commune, from the
latost-borne to the centenarian, and
each Commune pays to the govern-
ment an annual sum proportionate
to this enumeration. All families
arc collectively and individually
responsible for the payment OF this
sum. 1t is important, therefore,
that every one should work, as
idleness does not prevent the pay
ment of individual taxes, and they
must be borne by Others, The sys-
tom Of corporal punishment still
remains in use against those who
don not pay their dues,
