A Couple of Sample Bricks.

"a crowbar, a jimmy, shotgun. five barrel
revolver a big knife, Ratchet, and small
knife" This Is the significant outfit found on
couple of burglars, thieves, or highwaymen,
whichever they may prefer to be called, arrested
in this city yesterday morning, who were In the
habit of making regular forays into the ada
cent rural districts of Maryland and bringing
their plumber home by the wagon load. Can
there be any doubt as to the purpose of such an
armament as this, in the hands of such men?
Does any one suppose that they would have hes
itated for an instant to BRAIN stab and shoot to
death any person who might have stood In the
way Of their penetrating their crimes? Every
circumstance of the case shows In the most con-
elusive manner possible that they were ready
and willing to take life If necessary to carry cat
their plans.
And yet, as the laws of the District now stand,
criminals OF this class arrested under such Cir
cumstances can be punished only very slightly,
II, indeed, they do not escape punishment alto
gether. In the interests of society, it is there
fore almost to be regretted that these two mis-
creants were not taken while committing their
offence, and with the unmistakable evidences
OF their murderouS purpose upon Them some
where within the territory of Maryland. In that
event, If not hung upon the first convenient
tree, they would have been sure OF long term
In the penitentiary, instead of having the chance
they now have of being turned loose again in
little while to rob and murder at will. Mean
time, may we not hope that Congress will do
something toward giving code of laws to the
District which will adequately cover just such
cases as this? Burglary as well as rape clearly
ought to be made capital offence, and thieves
armed and equipped as these wretcheS were
SHOULD be regarded and treated as murderers.
They are In every sense far more dangerous to
society than men who In the heat of passion
take life, and who have to pay the penalty OF
their offence by losing their own.

The action of the ways and means committee,
yesterday, has put quietus upon the subject
Of tariff revision, for this session at least. This
was disappointment to the advocates of tariff
reduction, who had counted upon the support
of one member who voted Invariably against
them. 1t Is not unlikely that the committee
will agree to measure for the reduction or
repeal of the duties imposed on articles used in
the manufacture of paper. One or two of the
members who voted against other proposed
tariff changes, have expressed themselves in
favor of bill for this purpose. The tariff re-
formers cannot accomplish anything except
through the committee. The House is so evenly
divided upon the question that it would be a
waste OF time to bring any tariff measure be-
fore it, except upon favorable report from a
committee, so that majority vote could pass
it. Therefore, the subject WILL no doubt, be
permitted to sleep until next session.

Swords, Words. Words, ;,

Mr.. Jefferson Davis has taken the trouble to
write letter of congratulation to member of
the Mississippi legislature who proposes to
amend the code Of that state by striking out Of
its laws the word tramp, and substituting for
1t the word vagrant. The point of Mr.. Davis
communication Is that the former term is
slang, and has only temporary significance,
whereas the other Is, to use his own language
''a good English word, with a fixed meaning"
1t is our impression that while the distinguished
gentleman means well, his ground Is not well
taken. 1t Is perhaps difficult to tell just when
word ceases to be slang and comes to be recOg-
niZed as legitimate term,-when 1t can be
safely received into good society," so to speak. 1t
can truly be said, however, of the word tramp,
that 1t had well settled position and specific
meaning in England long before Mr.. Davis was
born, and it has certainly had at least lexico-
graphic II not an every day recognition In this.
country for more than quarter of a century.
In view Of these facts, it is hardly fair to say
that its significance is only temporary. More
over, though the original meaning of the words
vagrant and tramp may have been the same,
or nearly the same, common usage has now
drawn something Of distinction, and one OF
some value, between them. While the term
vagrant is applied to beggars Of the ordinary
type, that OF tramp seems to be limited by al
most common consent to that large semi-crim-
inal class of Migrants who travel through the
country from place to place, pretending to be
mechanics or laborers In search Of work, which
they do not want to find, and which they in
variably refuse to perform when 1t Is found for
them, "a who, as rule prefer to live by
theft rather than aims. 1t is likely, therefore,
that the term tramp will be used and have
significance as long as the class to which it is
applied exists; and as there seems to be very
few signs Of its becoming extinct, Mr.. Davis
and gentlemen like him may as well make up
their minds to accept the inevitable.

The Maine elections Monday resulted, as was
anticipated, in the republicans reaping heavy
gains from the folly Of the fusionists. Bath
which was disfranchised by the fusionists,
elected full republican ticket. Portland
elected republican mayor by 1,234 majority,
out Of vote OF $500 Last year there was a
fusion majority Of 40 in total vote Of 5,sA in
Portland. In Skowhegan last year a fusion
board OF town Officers was elected; this year
full republican board was elected. This sort of
change is reported almost uniformly In the
election returns from all parts OF the state.

AS an Offset to Mr.. Bayard's Dover speech in
1851, democratic papers friendly to him are
quoting the letter written by the late Edwin M.
stanton to Buchanan, bitterly denouncing the
war policy of Lincoln. There is nothing more
vulnerable, as general thing, than statesman's
record, and II this raking up OF old speeches
and letters continues, there win be good many
sufferers.
