TRAINED THIEvEs.-The chaplain of
the convict prison at Portland, England,
speaking of the trained thieves who came
under his notice, gives striking instance
of the sentiment which animates such
criminals. He lately reasoned with a
prisoner who was in the hospital, and be-
sought him to forsake the path of crime.
The man listened respectfully and then
stretching forth his hand, from which he
had lost three fingers, he exclaimed, "Sir,
do you think can afford TO lose the ben
eiits of fifteen years apprenticeshipf''
Crime was his trade, and he accepted
punishment as time of depression
which has to be borne.

PARTISAN economy does not allow any
thing to be wasted; consequently all
pieces of dry and damaged bread are
utilized. Some of them are dried in
ovens, and used in soup at Low-class res
tauranis; Others are pounded into white
paste used by butchers to adoTn outlets
while the poorest crusts are reduced to
charcoal, ground into powder, and con-
verted into a tooth paste.

sAEamAMs SURRENDER

Warrington, March 20.-secretary Sher-
mans argument before the senate committee
on finance will attract a great deal of atten-
ton, and ID a surprise ~ we'll ~ n disap-
pointment to many people. The democrats
are especially dissatisfied. They do not
want the currency question settled until
after the congressional elections this fall,
and are bringing in new issues and distract
ing attention from legislation That is proper
and necessary, SO as to prevent the financial
issue from losing it's grasp upon the politics
OF the nation. Ewing 10 especially anxious
that the democrats in Ohio this fall may
have the currency question a. a ~rallying
point, and Voorhees, is the Ewing Of indi-
ana. These men, who are leaders of the
imitation element in the two houses of con.
gress, have a following that is exclusively
democratic. The republicans are anxious
to have financial legislation disposed Of Is
early az possible for the good of the country.
Secretary Sherman's argument contains the
entire financial policy Of the administra.

Senator Bayard said to-day concerning
Sherman's argument: ut was a clear and
unconditional surrender without sufficient
cause. He appears to concede the whole
question TO the silver men before there has
been any adequate test of the question that
would naturally arise out Of the relative
values of the two metals. The resumption
act did not come from the committee on
finance; it came directly from the republi.
can caucus, and Secretary Sherman was its
father. He stated when it passed that golc

and is spreading rapidly. 1t is feared
that it will prove destructive of many
lives as it has not visited that city for
some years. The extremely hot wealth

to $50 per ton. The Mayor of New Or

Labor Troubles at Washington.
TUESDAY, JULY 80, 1873.

SPRINGFIELD RIFLES ISSUED TO THE
WATCHMEN AT THE TREASURY DE-
PARTMENT.
The Government let out the excava-
ton for the new printing bureau build
ing at Washington to the lowest bidder
and the contract was awarded to Messrs.
Hursey & Gleeson. They employed
laborers at q dollar per day, but the i'm
preston got out that they were only
paying seventy-fve cents per day, and
on last Saturday crowd gathered
around the laborers for the purpose of
stopping them from work, but the police
interfered and cleared the ground and
the men went to work.
The crowd again returned to the works
and the police under charge of Lieut..
Gessford warned them to keep away, but
they still advanced and began to throw
stones. Thereupon the command to fire
was given and the police fired one volley
with their revolvers aud the crowd dis
persed.
The United States troops have been
placed at the disposal Of the District au'
thorities for the preservation of peace
and the enforcement of the laws. Du-
ring the day United States arms and
ammunition for the use of the police
were sent to headquarters, and arrange
ments completed by which the best
equipped force that ever patroled city
with Calling guns and other full appli-
ances for keeping order, can be called
into requisition in a moment. The chic
of police announced his determination
to follow the first disobeyed order to dis
perse with volley, and to allow nj
meetings to be held in the city excep
by citizens known to be honest and re
putable men.
AS matter of precaution Springfield
rifles were issued to the watchmen III tn
Treasury Department building. 1t j
not likely, however, that they will b
called upon to use them, as the polio
authorities expressed the opinion tina
they did not fear any trouble Monda

RIGHT OF A BANK TO PROTECT IT
sELF.-In the suit Of Jacob against the
First National Bank of Cincinnati, re-
Gently tried in the Superior Court of Gin
cinnati, the court decided that where a
bank receives on deposit, as cash, sight
drafts of deposition, the bank is not
bound to pay checks drawn against the
fund after default in the payment of
the drafts. The implied condition is
that the drafts are to be paid, and
when the condition is broken the bank
has right to withdraw its credit, and
this right is superior to that of the de-
position to check against the credit fund.
