BURGLARY.-Last week. Wednesday night

and two watches were taken from the
showcase, nothing else being disturbed.

of the job, which was in some respects a
bunglng affair.

LANorRY AND LABouoAERE.
Mrs. Labouchcre in the City-Wha
Sbc Snna of lhn TrOubLc.


Inst evening Bfrs. Labouchere, accompanied
by her maid, arrived in Washington on tho
$40 train from Richmond. She was travel
ing under tho protection OF Mr.. +. p. Fowler, a
New YORK attorney, and his brother,in'law,
Mr. Dunning. When Il Republican reporter
called at tho Arlington Mrs. Labouchoro had
retired, but Mr.. Fowler, whose relations with
the lady arc OF the most cordial nature, was
seen. Mr.. Fowler, 1t may bo well TO state en-
Ddssdnt, Is tho American solicitor OF MIR. La
boucherc, that gentleman having numerous
landed interests in Virginia ana North Caro-
1--WE left Now York ON Monday last" began
Mr.. Fowler. "Mr. Labouchero's business
called me to Richmond. Mrs. Labouchere de-
ious 10 visit Washington en- route. That nc.
counts for our presence here.'
In regard 20 the communication In tho New
York Sun OF yesterday, charging that Mrs.
Langtry had sought TO bo rid OF Mrs. La
bouchero for tho reason that she lost all social
opportunities on her account; that people
would not invite Mrs. Labouchero, ana that
lady, with intense sel1ehness, would not lot
her 60 alone, and for another aud much more
sensational reason, MIR. Fowler said; VI as
sumo the responsibility, stamping these, espe.
chilly tho latter statement, as an unqualified
lie. She is as much Laboucherc's wife ns law
and church cnn make her 80. This Is an awk.
ward business" he continued In deprecating
tone, "and wero 1t not that my scnse OF Justice
is outraged by tho yilo slandors heaped upon
this lady would give no expression or opln-
Ion whatever. Tho statement that Mrs Lang
try was handicapped, socially speaking, by
her campanion Is the worst SORT OF rubbish.
As q matter OF fact, If such q condition existed,
Il was Mrs Labo ouchcre, and not Mrs. L1ngtry
who had best reason to complain
'Did Mrs. Labouchere bring letters from
people Of distinction nt homer
eyes; one OF her letters was from the Prince
OF Wales 10 Mrs. paran Stevens, OF New York.
Now, as to the alleged difficulty between these
two ladies thoro is but this to say: There was
no rupture OF their amicable relations. 1t was
simply an error OF judgment on Mrs. Langtry's
part that caused II all. There was n certain
gentleman In New York whose attentions TO
Mrs. Lapgtry formed tho themo OF consider
able gossip. He Is man whose antecedents
and wealth glvo him tho ontro to tho best
society, but one whom ladies OF discro-
tion prefer keeping at n distance In
preference TO encouraging his visits. Well, no
hung about Mrs. Langtry continually. Mrs.
Labouchere finally objected. Mrs. Langtry
curtly informed her that she would allow no
suggestions In such matters. There could be
only one result. They agreed TO disagree.
Mrs. Langtry has gone to Boston with her
company and Mrs. Labouchero Is hore In
Washington. There, you have tho whole story.
l am rather surprised that have been be-
traycd into saying anything about 1t what
ever"

cOuntryp

days."-R(publicdn, today.

The Negro ms a Politician.

Tho Bethel Literary Society was we'll at
tended Tuesday evening. The subject for
discussion was "The Negro as n Politician"
The Gentleman appointed TO open the discus; .n:
New York Gl05e, who read a paper which
showed that he had given tho subject careful
ssiqdy and that he had been ,rcc's care,
through tho Southern States. He believed that
according 10 their opportunities, that the col
ored men had proven themselves capable as
other hand, there were many among them
who, for selfish gain, like many white pollu-
clans, had resorted to many low and contempt
ible acts TO carry their point. But they, as q
rule, proved to be failures as politicians. Ho
believed that the colored man, as politician,
lacked that independence that becomes mon

they Will thereby break up solid Demo-
cratic front, and cause such changes
as VIII soon Insure n fair count In nll elec-
tions In said States. He named some
Of our leading colored men, and told OF some
things they had done, which proved that the
colored men, as q whole, would provo them
selves successful as politicians, provided they
exert little more independence in State and
local affairs. He believed in States where the
colored mans vote is not fairly counted, they
should abstain from voting for at least two
elections.
Bishop j. NJ. Brown thought that the time
had not come for abandoning the Republican
party. Ho expected to always vote for the
party.
Roy. Mr.. warlng was OF the same mind as
Bishop Brown.
Mr.. II. j. Smith favored the colored men taxi
Ing an Independent stand and hold themselves
bound 10 no party.
Professor Greener spoke In opposition to tho
paper read by Mr.. r. S. Smith, and a few re-
marks were made by other gentlemen.

WE are informed that the President con-
siders his communication of May to tho
British Foreign Office preliminary abro-
cation of so much of the Clayton-Bulwor
treaty as refers to inter.oceanic transit. If
this information be correct and tho Admin
istration actually does hold itself commit
ted to that policy, nothing remains but to
await the slow processes of diplomacy, The
methods adopted by the President aud his
Secretary of State differ widely from those
inaugurated by Mr.. Blaine. But If they
prove oilicacious there will be no reason to
complain. In appearance at least the Prcsi-
dents mode ofprocodurc lacks the brilliant
aggressiveness that characterized the des-
patches of Secretary Blaine. But appear
ances may be waived If the results are
satisfactory.
