Regulating the Streets.

Dayton's bluff is undergoing a perfect
reign Of terror from the nightly depredations
of tramps. Each morning brings addition
al information concerning their raids, and
the situation is becoming alarming. Night
before last they visited several houses, and
in one instance they succeeded in getting
away with considerable booty. Shortly after
o'clock in the afternoon several tramps
entered the residence of Mr.. j. Drummer,
near the pillow works, and they made clean
sweep of the house. They carried off bed
clothing, a watch and chain
and a quantity of clothing
belonging to gentlemen boarders.
They visited two other houses, but in each
instance they met with an unexpected recep-
ton. At one house they commenced to
take several shirts from the clothes line,
when they were surprised by the lady of the
house, who appeared with six shooter.
They dropped the shirts and ran. About
the same time raid was made on the resi-
dence of MIR. George Mersing. The wife of
the latter was at home, on seeing whom the
wretches insolently demanded milk and
money. They were about to force their way
into ths house when large dog belonging
to the family seized one of the men and
made him howl with pain. Before leaving
The dog tackled two of the party, who we're
almost stripped of clothing, and they were
glad to get away with their lives.

The explosion of the story that Judge
Swayne had condemned Mr.. Garfield for his
"sale of official influences in the De Golyer
pavement matter, and the hardness OF come
of the Democratic organs IN taking ii back,
have been the text tor many able editorials
in the Justly incensed journals which chung
to the republican cause. 1t seems good
time, therefore, to suggest that there be
general wiping out of campaign ISLANDERS.
The Republican organs will find material for
the exercise of their consciences in the frank
confession that the following ayerments are
without foundation in fact:
That Gen. Hancock's conduct in the Sur
rat case was 10 any degree censurable.
That Gen. Hancock hauled down the
United States flag as an lnducement to Gen.
Beauregard to dine with him.
That Gen. Hancock wrote letter 70 Gen.
Sherman declaring his intention to recog-
nize Tilden as President if be should tsks
the oath, the electoral commission decis IL
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
That Gen. Hancock proposed to Gen.
Mcclellan to turn the army on Mssh'n2t3n,
clean out the Lincoln government and aveiiga
Fi,z John Porter wrongs
That General Hancock owes his ncijjnd
ton tn Star-route lobbyists, who furnished
General Franklin the money to pay expenses
at Cincinnati
That General Hancock, as president III sr
oil company, defrsuded poor investors out
of thousands of dollars.
Each of these fictitious statements has
been printed in nearly every Republican
organ in the countrr, and although NIL Of
them have been related to the satisfaction of
everybody the frs. retraction is yet to bo
made. The copying OF these paragraphs
will be ample penancs
