On Thursday night thieves effected an
entrance into the shop of Mr.. Cyrus Johe,
at Vogany lille, this county, and stole
therefrom brace, three bits and a
monkey wrench. Then going to tho hotel
of Mr.. s. w. Lewis, in the same village,
the thieves broke into his cellar, and took
therefrom a five gallon oask full of peach
brandy and eight demijohns full of other
choice liquors. There were also few
empty jugs in the cellar which the thieves
had already uncorked and placed near one
of the whisky barrels aud it is supposed
that they were about to fill them too when
tho noise occasionod by tho son, of the
proprietor in getting up to go his work at
Ream's brick yard, frightened them off.
The loss to Mr.. Lewis is upwards OF $40.

FlTZ JOHN PORTER.


Philadelphia Ledger.
No act of Congress, or of tho president,
can rob General Porter of tho yiudication
he won, after twenty years OF unmeritei
disgrace, by the finding of the court that
reviewed his case, and by the general ac-
quiescenCC Of army officers of the highest
rank in that finding. Reviewing all the
facts IN the case by the light of much eyi
denCe not obtainabe at the original court
martial, these reviewing officers found not
merely that General Porter was innocent of
the grave charges made against him, but
THAT his prudence, bravery and sOldieIy
skill had saved the Union army from a
great disaster. General Grant, after many
years of acknowledged prejudice, founded
upon misunderstanding, frankly and man.
fully admitted his mistake and did all that
was in his power to correct the original
wrong. The vindicatiOn thus won by Gen
| Porter, and sealed by Pre- ejdent Arthur him
| self, cannot bc recalled now. The one thing
to be added was reparation by the nation
| for is own sake as much as for that o
General Porter. The Senate aud House
passed the bill for his restoration to the
army, and President Arthur has sOcn fit
to veto iJ. Such action il wholly illogical
II follows upon President ArthuT's Owl
previous action, which practically declared
General Porter Innocent, and, on the part
of the nation, continues the punishment OF
an innocent man. The president cannot
complain, uuder these circumstances, il
the veto is aScrbed to potty political
motives, which have boen the chief
obstacles General Porter has had to meet
during the last twenty years. But this is
not the end of the matter. In the very
nature of the case the agitation must go
on until General Porter is restored 10 the
army or has passed away where neither
honOrs nor political spites nor army jcal-
Ousies can affect him.

Defaoing Houses and walls.

Mr.. E. A. Wells fine residence have been
marked and defaced with chalk three diff
ferent times since he moved into the resi-

RACES are committed by white and black
boys, and are very common throughout
this city. 1t NAV be said that in no other
city is such conduct allowed to 90 un-
punished. 1t is almost useless to repair
or repaint a house where the walls abut
on the street, as these miscreants VIII
soon deface 1t, and the better the house
the more it is scratched and marked up.
There should be some way Of putting an
effectual stop 10 this work. The police
force is paid TO protect property and
should find some way to stop such out
RACES. Ii the perpetrators cannot be ar
rested by the patrOlmen, then a special
detective should be detailed 10 catch
them. and when caught they should re-
ceive the full benefit Of the law without

HELD FOR TRIAL.

The Negro Woman Hunter to be Tried
for Assault with Intent to Murder.
Mary Ann Hunter, the cOlOred woman
living near Dundee Bridge, who assaulted
PHYLLIS HattOn last week with a club, in
flicting a dangerous wound, was given a
hearing before Justice VI. +. Molina yes
terday on a charge of assault with intent
to murder. The injured girl was unable
to be present, but DIR. Lincoln, who had
attended her, testified that while the
wound was a dangerous one and the blow
might have caused death. he considered her
now out Of danger. Coroner Sheftall,
who had visited the girl, cOncurred with
him in this opinion. The testimony of the
colOred witnesses, which was in parts
very amusing. was to the effect that the
quarrel grew out of the refusal of one of
the deacOns TO shake hands with one of
the girls because they had not made up
quarrel in which they had been engaged
in some time before. The accused fol-
lowed the other and hit her with piece
Of board, and knocked her into
the ditch. One OF the witnesses
caused much mirth by persisting in
calling the meeting house the
prayer house," and in speaking of Mary
Ann Hunter as Phyllis Hunters 'she
mate" Justice Molina held the accused
in the sum of $500 bail for the Superior
Court. Henry McAlpin, Esq, appeared
for the State and George W.Owens. Esq,
for fhp defense
