After getting inside, the thief did not
touch any of the stock. but went TO the

The officer made him some reply, and
and then the fellow said suddenly:
s'Tm that man, and l want to see a law
yer. Ny name is sam Sinclair, Jr., andI
want TO see a lawyer"

several lawyers, and also to the railway
ticket Offices, where he made inquiries
about the fare to Havana and if there was
only teamer line to Cuba from Cedar

that the party be arrested for

money which had been given back 10 him
by Officer Kaufman had been spent in

ment Omces in Savannah.
Very few Democrats in Savannah have
announced themselves as applicants for
the fat places in the way of Federal Offices,
which will be at the disposal of a Demo
cratic President after March 4, next. For
the COlleetorship Of Customs so far only
three gentlemen are in the ~feld-Capt. J.
+. Wheaton. Capt. James ID. john
stOn. and Mr. William Hunter.
MAJ. A. A. VIM and B. A. Denmark,
Esq. have been mentioned in street gus
sip. 1t is understood, however, that Maj.
WInn, if he had seriously considered APP
plying. decided not to do so, and Mr.. Den
mark does not care for the office. For the
post Office the name of Maj. Ryals has
been mentioned. Gen. McLaws, who is
about to close his second term, will also
be an applicant tor the place to President
Arthur, and hopes to be retained under
President Cleveland on the ground that
he has taken no part in politics, has made
a good official, and is a Democrat.
Col. r. J.. Deyant, it is IN

for the position of United States Marshal.
No one seems 10 have thought of the 10
ternal revenue office. Some say the rea-
son is that the office is likely to be don
away with under the new administration.
which is likely to abolish the internal
revenue tax in a measure. The office OF
