The Inhabitants of New Jersey Village
Aroused to seIEProteetion.

In the village Of Rutherford, n. j.. petty
burglaries have OF late been so frequent as to
stir up the residents to offer reward for the
arrest OF any burglar trying 10 break into any
house In town. The burglars are believed 10 be
residents Of the town. because they seem to be
familiar wich the ins and outs OF tho houses
they visit. Some time ago Mr.. Thomas W.
Loves sleeping room was entered in the night.
and $50 in money was taken from his pockets
while he slept Mr.. Shafer's, Town Clerk Mey-
ers's. Mr.. Wright's. and Mr.. Nevnss houses
were also visited hut the thieves were fright
ened away from Mr. Shufers and Mr.. Mayers's
promises. From Mr.. Wright's and Mr. Neylns's
houses some clothing was carried away: On
the 9th inst. burglars entered the house OF MIR.
David Is. lvson. OF the wrll-knOwn publishing
firm in this city. and carried III $50. On the
same night burglars crawl-d through the sec
ond story rear window OF DR.. A. p. Wilhams's
house and walked into his bedroom. where he

some silverware, clothing and money amount
ing in value TO $500.
Casting about for suspicious persons. the
residents pitched upon the Captain and crew OF
soop that mad shortly before anchored in the
river near by, but the Captain proved conclu-
sivey that he was an innocent tar. engaged with
his crew in fishing for ee-. The citizens com
mittee. however. were not DISCOURAGED, and on
rested an old Dane named Martin Jansen. VINO
had confessed TO his employer. Mr.. George Hol-
land. that he had stolen various articles from
him, Mr.. Holland. Mr.. Holland Is gardener tor
Mr.. Hasbrouck in Rutherford. and he employed
the Old Dane 20 work at " odd lote" Jansen IS

and to be unable 10 speak English. MI HOl-
land suspected that Jansen had been stealing
coffee. tea. aud sugar from his private stores,
and accused him. but Jansen denied the theft.
Then Mr. Holland went into his house. found
an old lease. and returned tn Jansen. Shaking
the paper in the Old mans face. Mr.. Holland
said that 1t WAS n warrant OF arrest, and told
Jansen TO confess the truth. Jansen then
owned that the missing artlc cles We're hidden IN
the barn. They were found. Detective Nrre-
land took Jansen 10 the Hackensack Jail. The
citzrns committee insist that the arrest OF jan
son VIII be the means OF breHkng up the gang

ago. The furniture In the room was scanty.
and two large washing tubs stood in the middle
OF the floor. piled with cooking utensils as
though the inmates had been about to re-
move to another dwelling. Two single beds
stood at right angles to each other. one
with the head toward the window. and the other
with the head nearly touching the first bed.

was afraid to be left alone with him.

COUNTING ELEcroRAL porEs.
Neither Returning boards nor Judicial Tri-
bunals can be Allowed TO Decide.

WAsHINGTON. May 2s - representative
Blcknell tDem.. Indl to-day submitted IN the
House II report from the Committee charged
with the consideration Of the state Of the law
respecting the election Of President and Vice
President. together with the bill agreed upon
by the Committee on the 22d instant, the pro-
visions OF which We're published at that time
The Committee in their report say that recent
events have made it clear that neither the rul-
lngs OF returning boards nor the decisions OF
judicial tribunals can be safely made conclu-
sive ns To the electoral votes OF States but the
concurrent action Of the two Houses Of Con-
gress upon such question. II not absolutely
right Will always represent the prevailing pub
lie opinion. aud will therefore give general
satisfaction. The provisions that electoral
votes ought to be counted by both Houses
OF Congress and that some tribunal
in the States ought to aid Congress
by deciding contested votes, ut least in the first
instance, will probably command general assent
II 1t be said that in some States contested rec-
tOns are not within the jurisdiction, original or
appellate, Of their highest courts the answer iS
that If this bill shall become Il law IL Will be the
chief concern OF such States to supply the necrs-
sary jurisdiction by ordinary legislation or by

DEMOCRATS FAILING TO AGREE
A Prospect that the Weak-Kneed Ones VIII
Vote with the Republicans

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The members Of
Democratic Joint Caucus Committee. at their
meeting last evening. admitted that 1t was i'm
possible to insist upon the repeal OF the laws
authorizing the use OF troops at the polls and
providing for Federal supervision Of elections
as a condition precedent to the passage OF the
appropriation bills. There are enough Demo-
Gratis in the House who will vote with the Re-
publicans and Greenbackers TO pass the appro-
priation bills pure aud simple. For the past
two weeks II has been the policy Of the Demo-
Gratis to keep the Appropriation bills in the
Committee on Appropriations. knowing that II
they were. reported all riders would be struck
now appears that the clique OF Democrats VINO
want the appropriations made regardless OF
redress!ng grievances. will refuse 10 vote 10 ad-
lourn until the appropriation bills are pass ed.
or resolutions are adopted extending the pres
ent appropriations for six months.
Al the meeting OF the Conference Committee
last night. while no definite plan OF action was
decided. IL was suggested that a series OF bills
should be- prepared and introduced in relation
To the interference by the Federal Government
with elections in the States. These bills should
all be- Of a character analogous 10 the bill TO pro-
hibit Hilary Interference at elections. and that
they should contain provisions emhodying the
principles which have been contendrd for by
the party in Congress. Ii Ia expected that Hayes
would veto each one OF these bills and every
such veto would be an additional card for the
Democratic party in the next campaign. To-
ward the end OF next month the APPROPRIATIONS
would be- made and Congress would adjourn.
II IS by no means certain that this progrumme
could be carried out il attempted. The Rrpub-
lcans would probably hlibuster ngni nst the in
PRODUCTION OF any bills OF the description pro-
posed. Besides the weak -kneed Democrats are
bowling for n caucus, aud II caucus Is held
plans at present under consideration will un-
dOuWedly come to naught.

oujckeurhe Circulation

Don't let the blood stagnate in your veins
You can prevent its doing so by increasing its
volume and purity. by stimulating the diges-
tive organs, and encouraging assimilation, with
that matchless vitalizpg agent, Hos letters
stomach Bitters. People not afflicted with any
organic or inorganic disease, grow wan aud
haggard simply because their blood is thin
watery, deficient in nourishing properties and
so nleager IN quantity that the extremities are
very lmperfectly supplied with it, and the su-
perhciaI circulation extremely feeble. Hence
the blOodless appearance of the countenance.
But when the Bitters are used TO enrich and
quicken the blood, the rosy hue of health re-
-urns to the cheek. the frame acquires sub
stance as well as Ugor, the appetite improves
and no digestive quslms interfere either with
It's qualification or the subsequent tranquility
