The city has boon exceptionally quiet and
orderly for several days, but tho thieves arc
like the Quakers In that whom tho spirit
moves them they all move at once. Mr..
Richard It. Smith, Of 1887 Thirty-second
street, West Washington, received a call be.
tween midnight last night and o'clock this
morning, and was relieved OF property to tho
value OF Sd27.
Detectives Edelin, and Mattlngly have been
assigned to tho case. The Job was done by no
novice, because 1t was done In skillful and
daring manner.
pockotpook, containing s1f2, is said to
have been taken from under the pillow OF Mr..
Smith. Tho other property taken consists Of
gold watch aud chain and Masonic emblem
valued at 300, lady's gold watch and chain
valued ut $75 and other iewelry.

IN HIS Decoration Day oration Colonel
Merrill asserted, with mournful cadence,
that the boys of to-day would not suffer
for their country as did the boys of 6l-'65.
This is all fudge and fustion. We used to
hear it said before the rebellion, "Ah! the
boys of to-day would not suffer for their
country as did our revolutionary sires "
But the boys of '61-'65 suffered and died
with patient and enduring heroism that
has elected the admiration of the whole
world. These croakers should remember
that the boys Of to-day possess the same
blood and spring from the same loins as did
those of '61.65, and blood will tell in their
case as well as in that of their predecessors

10 the Editor qf The ECenin1 Critic!
In your issue OF the 9th instant, under the
head OF "Charges Against O1cer Slack" Major
Dye is represented TO have stated TO a CRITIC
reporter that she had not had time to exam
Inc all the charges, but they were signed by
Doys principally, and only a half-dOzen men
hGd thelr names on the paper;" also that SIT
was asccrtained that several OF the complain
ants were rum sellers whom Slack mad prose-
cuted."
Now, in behalf OF the thlrty.six gentlemen
who signed the petition for slack's removal, 1
am requested 10 furnish You with the the true
facts and ask that the erroneous statement,
claimed 10 have been made by Major Dye, bo
properly corrected Ia THE CRITIC; ami / am
directed 10 inform you
Flrst-That not single boy has signed tho
petition, their ages ranging from 2o 10 rs
years.
second-Not a rum seller has signed the po-
tltlOn. Each and every signer Is engaged In
an honest and reputable occupation.
Third-Nearly all are property'owners and
taXTayers.
Fourlh-Not one was eyer prosecuted as a
rum seller by Slack.
10 fuInieh you with full and complete copy
OF the petition, together with all the ahldayit5
and charges In the case, which herewith In.

These gentlemen feel aggrleved by the or.
roneous statement claimed by THE CRITIC to
have been made by Major Dye. And while
they may lot be able to obtain n fair and Inn
taid Slack, yet they object 10 being slandered
because they are endeavoring to do 80.
Very respectfully,

Schenectady Union (Rop.).
The case is clear that at heart the Times has
no sympathy with the Republican party. tits
controlled by an Englishman, who cannot
overlook tho protective plank In the Republi.
can platform, nor tho fact that whom Secretary
OF State MIR. Blaine declared that he disllked
to have England win commercial triumphs In
fields which legitimately belonged TO America.
The Times processes to be "a friend and o
physician" toward tho Republican party. Its
friendship is palpably false, and the Times
will learn to Its cost that the party is aware OF
the falsity. AS physician, 1t has attempted
and vigor and which has no inclination to
submit to the surgery. The Times, In effect,

the brethren in July? Ifthey don't look out
they'll formulate three-cornered one, and
the candidate, unless he is fat aud podgy,
will be awful sore before the cake walk is
half over. If they want to be sure of hav-
ing good platform let them adopt that of
the Republicans. They arc perfectly well
como to adopt it, and our candidates, also.
They might as we'll go the whole as the

White and COIOred Pluck.

An Adams Express wagon, pulled by q
vicious gray horse, running away with all his
speed, going down Seventh street at noon,
caused great excitement, and the driver, q
plucky boy by the name OF Johnny Healy, held
on bravely, to tho admiration OF the excited
spectators. His strength was fast giving away
the horse having fresh start, when brave
colored man by the name OF Luclau Harvey
lin Moses & Sons employ sprang In front OF
tho ipiuriated horse, dragged short distance
and stopped him at the risk OF his own life.
Both deserve great praise for their bravery.
