For AMdUjinxl Local Item gee Viird Fag. How Recbcttixq is Managed on Dock Street. As everybody kuows, the unbounded enthusiasm which at one time prompted old men aud youiig alike tj dou vhft national livery has completely died out. The regular army is now just what It was before the war an institution which affords very cotntort.ible and very desirable positions lor youne men who have acquired the rudiments of military science at West Point, an. I very une.ouuortable and very undesirable positions lor the vulvar horde wbo have acquired their knowledge elsewhere. For tbe-e reasons recruiting is at present one of the slowest kinds ol buHincss folio ed by mortal men. And, consequently, not a few tricks of various kinds enter in il. On the lower side of Dock street, between Second and Third, in this city, as i.- well known to all the frequen ters of that locahtv. are two or three recruitiug offices. The practices followed there are but a type of tho.se followed ebewhere, and when we know how recruiting i manured iher, wo know bow it is manuged elsewhere. An incident which happened jesterday afternoon will dis clore the only modus operandi which is found successful in a majority of eases. About 4 o'clock, a man arravpd in a new and bright uniform was observed by the pasieis-by stand ing on the steps of a Dock street 6aloon. Although he was not as drunk as he might have been, he was still fur from sober. The whole story, however, was told in a lew words, which he let tall just as our intormant was passing. H turned to a companion aud said, '-I'll be if I know how I got into this fix !" pointing to the uniform he wore as he spoke. Now honest men can express but one opiuion of such a practice as getting a niHn drunk, and while he b virtually non compis menm.enlistini him tu the military setvice of Ihe country. It is a fiaud aud a chea . aud ran be designated by no milder terms. Men enlisted in this lash ion are the very ones who desert on the very first lavmiihle onnortunity, a proceeding which Unnr ut oil tn he wondered at. Ihe eoouer mm Ai,.-.t,A ami more honest way ot flllma tho ranks n t.h BrDIV is deVISed. tile better will it be for the service of the country. Pickpcckkt. A young fellow named Charles Wilson, stating hie lesidence to be Camden, indulges in the propensity of picking pocket. This he did yesterday, cleaning Mr. John Fox's pocket of about $10 while getting Into a street car. on Market street, near Kleventh. For this he was immediately ar- lened ana taken before Alderman Jons, wno held him in $m bail for a further hearius this (iiiernooa at 4 O'clock, TEE DAILY EVENING TELIXi R APH.

In response to the requests of several reader, we lat week wrote to Mrs. OnoralUrant, inquiring ubout the delay In the drawings, and as to the reliability of the parties styled the manngers of "The Presentation Festival in AH of the Widows and Orphans of our tjoldlcrs " We have, in reply, received a letter from a promi nent General, than whom there should be no higher authority in the mntter. From this let ter we publi.-h the following extracts, which will tic of interest to the thousands of ticket holders in this city and elsewhere: "The drawing could not taie place us adver tised oh tho 14th, owing to the Immense amount ol labor required in preparing ballots and closing up the ailnirc. it will, however, come oil positively on the 28th (Monday), and every piize enumerated, aud more too, will be fairly distributed. "Owing to the fact that more tickets were sold than were expected to be, the value of the prizes have been increased In proper propor tion. For InMunce, inPtead of $10, (HID in green backs there will be $17, (KM), distributed in sums ot $10,000, $2000. $1000, etc. etc., and other prizes will aKo be Increased. "The money and prizes are all In the hands of the agent of the Institution, and not in the hands ot Thomas A Co. SSome of trie best men in New York are managing the affair, and it will be honestly cond noted even if the Institu tion should make nothing. But I believe it will receive a handsome sum enough to pro vide for several huiidred orphans of our brave soldiers, instead of barely one hundred, as it does at present." From baturday Jijhl of this week. Petty Police Mattkks. William Ball was arrested yesterday morning at Newmarket and Poplar streets, on a charge of larceny, It seems that William was suffering from the cold weather, aud seeing some tine overcoats in Mr. Isaacs' store, at Newmarket and Poplar streets, walked in aud borrowed one ot them while the proprietor was absent. As Mr. Isaacs did not do buMness in that way, he had Dull arrested as soon as he discovered his loss. Hall had a hear ing beloro Alderman Shoemivkpr, and was com mitted to answer in default of $500 bail. Jacob Chintzler went into the foundry of Mers. Leibraut & McDowell, in Ciirard avenue, above Otis street, yesterday, and helped him sell to a pair of boots. Jacoo was saught at his tricks, however, nr.d alter a hearing before Aldermau Massey, w as held m $700 bail to answer. James Dunbar, whilst driving a team in the neighborhood ol Third and Tasker streets, beat his norso in the most cruel manner, because it could not pull enough to satisfy bira. Officer Freuud interfered aud arrested him. He bad a heating belore Alderman Filch, aud was held to answer. Early this morning a roan named James Watt was knocked aown ana run over at tnteeutn and Lumburd streets by a wagon. The driver was arrested, and was bound over to answer by Aldciman f'aicneii. Andrew Tinney, a younci-ter M years old, wa arrested hv Ollicer itobiusnn, at Twelfth and bpruce streets, lor throwing snowballs at the pasers-by. He was held in $300 bail to keep the peace' by Aldermau Tunison. This is a very common annoyance ol late, and the police are eiitieavoring to put a stop to it. A Danoehous Fkllow. Last Mondty night a ticrtit was commenced in NiuholiOii's restaurant, on Mam street, Gertnauiewu. Thomas Dell, who had been drinking, and wii" very quarreUome, took occasion to raise a dis turbance wirh a Mr. Thomas McAtee, who is said to be his brother-in-law. In the bar-room they got lo righting, but were soon separated, and the whole thum was thought to have been hiuootbed over. But it was a deceitful calm. Mr. McAfee had gone out, aud was standing on the sidewalk, in Rittenhojse street, when Bell came out ot an alley leading from Ritteuhotist street, and, drawing a blackjack from his pocket, struck JleAtep a murderous bljw ou the back ot the head, that knocked him sense less, and inflicted a severe wound. Shortly afterwards Bell was arrested, and was taken before Alderman Godbou, who held him to an swer the charge ol assault and battery witli in tent to kill. Mekcantilk Library. l'he Hall of the Board of Trade was crowded yesterday afternoon withsuch stockhoideis ot the Mercantile Librnry 113 de-ired to lorm an opposition ticket to thu pre-ent management. .Mr. t;. U. firookes wus called to the cha r, and Mr. Gubtavus Keiokheliu appointed Secretary. After a general debate 011 the grievances to which members of the Library were expofcu under the present management. which debate evinced the utmost unanimity of feeling, a committee ot nvo was appointed to picpare a ticket. A like committee was ap pointed to prepare an address setting forth the principles of the meeting. After the arrange ment of a number of the details of the contest. the meeting adjourced until Thursday afternoon next, to meet at the same place. Courtesy aud pood leeling characterized the entire proceed ings ci tne meeting. EivEit Matters The Oysteb Trade- Thb City Ice Boat. The City Ice Boat gave up the hopeless tasi: 01 relieving the oyster squad ron at Bed Bank, and started down the river to day with the Boston steamer, intending to bring up the steamer Tonawanda, now lying below in Ihe bay. A single wagon load of Egg Harbor river (coves) ovsters came up last night. and were offered at $12 per thousand, and indif- lerent looking allalrs at that. The increase in the cold makes the river almost impossible of navigation with the present means provided by the city, Thenew Ice Boat being an almost utter failure, owing to the incapacity in tue size 01 its boilers. It wastes more than a pound ot steam a minute, effecting next to nothing, and is, in addition, a very slow boat. The evil ought to be remedied, nud the contractors made responsible. Assault with a IIatchkt. Last Wed nesday, a couple of men. named Andrew Cald well and John Carr, got into a violent quarrel at Haddington. Atter quarrelling for some time.Chldwell seized a hatchet, and, telling Carr that he intended to kill him, made a rush for him. Carr, considering that discretion ws the Deuer part 01 valor in such a case, took to hU ueclH and incontinently fled. Caldwell went after him, hut a policeman appearing upon the scene, stopped the latter's tun, andlorevented serious consequences. Caldwell was taken be lore Aldermau JHuule, and, after a ncanug, was held in $800 bail to answer a charge of ai-ault and battery with intent to kill. A Young Thief. John McComb. a voupl' lad, only fourteen years old, wa-i arrested yes terday afternoon, at Twenty-fourth and Plnp street, on a charte of larceny. It appears thnt be, In connection with five or six others of about the same age, all of them banded to peiher, were engaged in tho robbery of a truck wagon 01 some touacoo and tea and a par ot boots. MeComb's companions succeeded in makintr pood their escape, although warrants have been issueu lor their arrest. John had a hesrinif De'ore Alderman Tunison, who held hnn in $400 Dull to answer the charge of larceny. The Languages. Messrs. T. B. Peterson & Brothers have issued five valuable little works explaining the construction of French, Spanish, Italian.

A Kunaway. A fine large white horse, attached to an empty furniture c&r,made quite a senBatlonin Chosuiit street, between Third aud fouria sireets, about 11 o'clock" tnia morning. The owner dashed alter him in hot pursuit, im peded, of course, by the slush on the railway track. His progress was arrested at Third street. No accident occurred by collision.

Thoe who have lieen in any of the cities in Europe will remember the crossing sweeper who solicits a penny, a sous, or a krentzer, as the ruse may be, fr.m carh pedes frian, to repay him lor Ins exertions in keeping the w ay clear.

But enough of thnt. It has been amupd, and held belore the people in vain. We only wish to call attention to a nuisance encendered by this sad stile of Btliilrs. Yesterday afternoon the street sweeper nuisance appioached its climax. It seems that sonic one mentioned the fact of such a thing being paying business during th present reign of tilth. The idea was seized on witn avidity, and soon an army ot small Doys came from all quiuters armed wtth brooms. From the east and from the west, from the north and from the south, they came, bearing, l.ke the Dutch Admiral Van Tromp, tne broom as their standard. On our principal streets they took their stand, and all daylong plied their calling. Kach loot passenger tnut crosses a street is solicited to give a cent to pay for clean ing the footway. Not only is every crossing taken up by these sweepers, but there is a constant reserve force ou hand ready to take the place of any retiring partner. If one were to give a cent to every one that asked him to do so, it would require a bucket full of chance. In fact, the ureut num ber of these applicants for small lavors has made them a nuisance and an annoyance rather man a oeneur. BcitOLAR Caught. About 4 o'clock this morning, as Ollicer H. Keel was walkitig his beat, at Second and Green streets, he saw a man come out of the rear of Mr. Diet.'s grocery store, at ihe y. t corner of Second and Green streets. The man had an overcoat 011 his arm, and when Ollicer Keel accosted him he drew a lurge chisel in a menacing manner. The ollicer drew his revolver, and placed the muzzle in most alarm ing proximity to the burglar s head. lie cayefl in, and acknowledged himself a prisoner, being unable to resist such an argument. He gave the name of John Brown, and said he is a native ot England, from which country he came to this about two years ago. He will have a hear ing belore Alderman Bcitler to-day, at the Ceu- irai station. Stealing a Qoksk. Blanket. Henry Carney, a pickcr-up ot unconsidered tnrtes, came to gnei yesterday. Heeing one ot Adams Kx press Company's wagons standing in front of a place in Seventh street, he took advantage ot the absence of the driver to take a blanket from the hor-e, and make away with it. Atter he nor it he cut oil a strap, upon ' which was the name of tue Company, und then attemoied to sell the blanket. He was too modest in his demands, however, and this exciting the suspicion ot an ollicer, he wa9 taken into custody al Seventh and Bedlord streets.

FRESIDENT JOHNSON AND NEURO SUFFRAGE, Am Interesting lutervlew The President Relterntea that he Is the Beat Friend of the Iiegroes. Washington, D. C , January 21. J. H. Harris, Presiucnt of ihe State Equal Kights League of Ni rth Carolina, aud delegate irom that State to the Annual tjonventlou of the National Equal RigbU League, which held Its session In this citv last week, and another colored man. bad an hour' interview with President Johnson not long since, during which thru ollicer exires!-ei himself very lully regarding; the political eituation ot tne couutry and its rela tion to the status of the co'orcd race. Mr. Harris' trieud is about the same age as Mr. Johnson, and they were raided togct'ier in Kaleigb, N. O. Owing to this fact they found ready admittance to the presence of h.s Excellency, and enjoyed very f avorable ooportuuiti- s ol obtaining tree expressions . ot opinion from him. Mr. Johnson commenced the interview with kind inquiries regarding his old friends, both white and b'.acc. in Halelgh, and re called many leminiscenees of bis boyhood days, wbou ho was a playmate ol one of his oolorod guests. The first haif hour was spent in conversa tion ou such fubiecis, attor which he inquired re garding the condition or the treedmen generally, and also regarding the protection affordod them by existing laws in his nanv.i state. Sir. Harris replied to thoso inquiries by stating that their present condition is anything but sate, and that tbey will never bo fully guaranteed in their riehta as citizens without the pawer to yota lor their friends and against their enemies. To this the President replied that he Is as much in favor ot qua'lried negro suffrage a Mr. Sumner, or any one else of the radical stripe; bat, in hut opiuion, universal suflraee will efleot more barm than good. Ho further stated that be had always beeu a triend to tho colorod peop e, and still con tinued (o be so. He refened o his course in Tennessee, mentioning the fact chat in President Lmooln's Emancipation Proclamation leunes see is not incluried, and announced that be had used his irttuence with the Legis'ature aud people of that State to secure the voluntary emancipation of their slaves. He also stated that ho was one of Ihe first Southern men of prominence who advocated the doctrine of negro suffrago publicly. In bis opinion tho colored people would not live ten years beiore becoming convinced that he is the best Iriond they have in public life now. Whatever their opinion of his poliov may be at pre-ent, he claimed that the future would demonstrate the soundness of his views, and thev would have good reason to change their opinions. He referred, in proof of his state ments regarding; his lneudshio toward the oolored race, to a gilt of $1000 to a South Carolina colored school. lie was much gratified to learn that the freedmen of the South, who anew him personally, still retain their old regard for him. but was in. farmed that tbey think they have, good reason for disliking bim politically now. He remarked that it is not always those who make the loudest protessions ot friendship that are the truest. In connection with this state ment he cited the case of Napoleon Bonaparte, who, being elected to high position, as an advo cate of republican principles, turned bis baok on his faith, and fastened on bis country a despotism ten times more severe than belore. Thus it will be, be said, with the radicals of the North and the freed men of the South. Atter more conversation to the same effect, tho President dismissed his mends, and the interview ended with expressions of a hope br him that before Jong both blaoks and whites will move along tranquilly, each enoying political rights tn accordance with their respective merit. .
