DOWn-East HOrse-Thieyes.

There is at the present time through
out New England very comple'e and
extensive organization Of professional
horse-thieves, who have regular head
quarters, and are as we'll known to each
other as men engaged in any honor
able enterprise La many cases livery
men, bearing fair reputation, wink al
the traffic in stolen horses, because
they can recruit their stables at prices
much below market values; and in
others, proprletors of llveries are in
close connection with the thieves, and
make business out Of them, keeping
up appearances as legitimate stable
men only TO deceive the public. And
it would be a curious subject OF lu-
quiry to follow the horse-thief, having
horses to sell, along the country high
ways and among farmers and others,
and jot down the names of men of fair
reppte IN the commua.ty who will con
sent to buy or trade without asking
any questions, consciously knowing
that the property they are getting
could not be honestly sold for the
price they secure it for. Tue readl-
ness ot men to take a horse because
they Gao buy it cheap, gives it wide
hls vocation profitable. A few months
ago notorious thief Christ 'pher
Carter, was arrested in Providence for
stealing horse belonging to john
Elmer, of Burnside, and was brought
to this city, and at the last crimiual
term Of the Superior Court sent to
State Prison. THIS man had oper ted
all over New England, aud in one couu-
ty in New Hampshire there are thir-
teen Indictments now pending against
him, his arrest leading to the discovery
Of evidence against him. He kept an
account of his sales in small book
which is now in the possession of the
Hartford police authorities. aud it ap-
pears on this book that during the
season of 1878 he st,le ninety horses.
aud realized from selling aud trading
nearly $4,000 in cash. This business.

Is considered that scores of others like
him are at l,ber'y aud have been oper

income of nearI7 $1,000 is from sales
at low prices generally and the parties

zs THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
The first practical illustration Of Ed
ison's electric light as system has
just been given. For the past two
nights his entire laboratory aud ma
chine shop have been lighted up with
the new light, and the result has been
eminently satisfactory. In the ma
chine shop, l25 feet long by rs feet
wide, twelve Of the new lights did the
work ofeighteen gssb1rners previously
used. The lamps were regulated so that
each gave q light Of eighteen to twen-
ty candle power intensity The gener-
ator used was the ordinary gramme
machine. The progress made during
the past two months by Edison been
quite marked. The most prominent of
the improvement is one relating to the
platinum and iridium coils. By dis
covery, pronounced BY experts who
have seen it ss of great scientific im
portxnce. Edison has succeeded in
practically creating new alloy, one
that possesses properties hitherto un-
known. With the new improvements
he claims to be able to furnish light a.
half the cost of gas.

Trouble about a Law.

Secretary of State Warner has re.
ceived numerous letters enqu,rins
about chapter 2O5 of the laws at 1879
limiting County Treasurers to two
terms-they not to be eligible for re-
election until two years shall have
elapsed. The writer's Of these letters
state their surprise at seeing the law
published in the official State paper,
when their respective members had..in-
ftrmed them that it had been killed in
the Senate. The Secretary has &C
cordingly looked up the history OF this
chapter in the legislative records. and
finds that, as to Bill No 10 A it passed
the Assembly. but was refused concur-
renee in the Senate; in a day CT two
after that, the bill was messaged back
to the Assembly in a large batch of
other bulls, as having been concurred
in-though the bill itself was sent
back with the proper Endorsement of
non-concurrence. The bill was properly
engrossed, signed by the officers of
DOtn houses duu tueil UF tue UoNefuoI, ,
and afterwards published in the official
State paper, as chapter ZO5 1t is
therefore law, although the first court
before which it is brought will
doubtless declare it uncontstltutionally
passed; the Su preme Court, however,
will have to take it up and decide
npou the question as to whether it a
proper to 90 back to the original re-
cords. Heretofore, in this State
even last year, We believe-several bills
have illegally become laws through
clerical mistakes, aud they have been
repealed at the succeeding session;
but they have never been brought up
before the courts on the question OF
tie original records. 1t is possible
that this aot may be similarly treated
but as it affects next falls election, it
may be Immediately forced to an is
sue. In Illinois, in similar case, the
Supreme Court decided thas it is pro-
per to 60 back to the Jou, mails of the
two Houses to ascertain the facts in
