A correspondent of the New York
World, writing from Washington un
der date of the Sth says:
indications are that active move
ments on large scale will not be at
tempted for a week or two at least.
The fall of Petersburg is IA question Of
time: that time must elapse before il
can be taken. Grant is conducting a
siege-such siege as eliminated SO
gloriously at Vicksburg; but that job
was far more serious than this one.
What he has made up his nina To do
he will do, and will not be hastened
into precipitancy and chance
of failure,-Siege guns enough to sweep
Petersburg from the face of the earth
have already been mounted. Still,
Grant may strike like lightning, and
with fatal effect some where else. His
ways are past finding out"

The CAMPAIGN IN NIRGIN1A.--The
news from the theatre OF war IN Nir-
ginia continues to be of anything but
a cheering character The general re-
suits of the campaign so far may be
summed up in opinion, universally en-
tertained, that the mere capture Of the
Rebel Capital-unaccompanied by the
annihilation of Lees army as defen-
sive or offensive force-will no longer
compensate us for the enormous losses
we have sustained since Grant crossed
the Rapidan. 1t is sickening to read
the daily details of slaughter, ever
swelling dlp in vain holocausts; to see
the bravest and best Of those who, in
the enthusiasm of devotion to the I'm
ion, took up arms to defend its integri-
ty and vindicate its flag, sink in death,
after years of incessant struggles, their
closing eyes unblessed 10y the sight OF
that national salvation to purchase
which their lives had been freely of
cred. But when we consider that these
accumulated misfortunes are 50 largely
owing to the corrupJions and unfaith-
fulness Of an Administration which de-
liberately displaced or thwarted our
most capable commanders, and divert
ed the struggle from its original pur-
poses, for selfish personal ends, we are
justified in calling on every citizen who
has the well-being of the country at
heart, TO do all that in him lies TO drive
from pcwar the representatives of so
unpatriotic a faction, and replace them
by men who will no longer allow the
the benefit eff a miserable clique OF
shoddy politicians.

The city council at its last meeting
on Monday decided TO enforce the ordi-
nance for the closing of saloons ut II
o'clock i. M. The matter will end
right here. 1t will be just the same as
the dog ordinance or Jerry Rusk S
pronunciamentos against the English
sparrow. What's the use in fooling
Repeal the ordinances against closing
the saloons at IL, and that against tax
ing dogs and every other which the
council hasn't back bone enongh TO en-
force, and let those remain active
which have the capacity of enforcing
themselves. The city council is be-
coming ridiculous with its ordinances.
The dogs are OF ten times more conse-
quence. They always bark and some
times bite. The city council always
barks and never bites.

With a low cry OF desperation he snatched on
his hat a soft and shapeess felt AFFAIR, and fung
It squarely in the fellows face
Before he could recover-before, that Is, Il
dropped away and cleared his vision. Alan had bent
forward and grasped the wrist Of the hand that
held the knife.
He snatched simultaneously at the other hand,
but It eluded him.
Immediately the two became engaged In fu
rious contest for possession OF the stiletto.
Alan had this advantage long as the knife
might not strike-that his right free,
while the assassin had only his left With this he
strove persstently to reach his knifehand and pos

foied his purpose by dragging the knifehand
toward him and swinging IL far out TO one side.
At the same time he struck repeatedly with his
cenched fist at the others face. His blows did
little damage beyond dsconcerting the other; but
this proved a very considerable factor In the duel
In the end they served together with that steady,
resstlessly downward and outward drag, to break
the grip Of the mans locked legs
Abruptly he pitched forward on his face along
the girder kicking wildly. grasping at the air. The
stiletto fell from instnctivey relaxed grasp,
and disappeared. And before Alan could release
his hold, the strain upon the right arm OF
the assassin this last had slipped bodily from the
girder and hung helpless in space, dangling at the
end Of Aan's arm-with no more than the grip OF
five fingers between him and death.
The shock Of that unpresaged turn brought Alan
forward and fiat on his stomach And the strain
on his left arm was terrific. He doubted II he
could maintain II for another minute Nor was
there any reason why he should retain it, The end
he had designed for his victim merely his
just deserts.
And yet Alan could not let him 60

Il was about in the morning when he ar
rived inconspcuously (but not so much so as to
seem deserving of police surveiance) in the
neighborhood OF the Riverside drive home Of his
mortal enemy, a grim white house that lowered,
stark and tall, upon corner.
His preliminary reconnaissance provided little
more than comfortless exercise Huge still. its
wall bathed in the milk and ink OF moonlight and
shadow, all its windows dark but one-and that
one, in the topmost tier showed only feeble glim-
mer, so slight that Alan almost overlooked II.
But once discovered, It focused upon itself his
thoughts with power little less than hypnotic.
He believed with small doubt that Rose was
prisoner within those walls that Judith must have
conveyed her there with all speed.
And, this being the presumptive case. that small
high window of the light might well be hers
Directly across the street from the Trine resi-
dence on the opposite corner a colossal apartment
structure stood hafhnished, stonework TO its sec
ond story, gaunt iron skeleton rearing above.
To his infinite disgust Alan found the guardian
very wide awake very much the job: no chance
here to steal unseen into the building.
This in itself might have been deemed sus-
picious circumstance: not for nothing does hon

the tenets of his craft But Alan merely praised
the man while cursing the very fact of his exist
ence; and, accosting overcame with bank-notes
what seemed an uncommonly stubborn reluctance,
and got his way
He could not know that another skulked behind
a barrier of lime barrels and overheard all that
passed and when Alan had ducked smartly into
the unfinished building and stole after him
