CITY 1IITK1. UE M C
A Model Officer A scene occurred at the
corner of Fifth and Chesnut streets this morn
ing which, for a time, created no little excite
ment, and entitles the principal actor therein
(a policeman) to an immediate dlschargo. A
colored lad, who is known as "Calamus, was
proceeding along Fifth otreet with a bunch of
the "root'7 under his arm, when Pollcemon No.
-154" took a piece off in rather a rough mannor.
The lad as a matter of course demurred, when
Mr. "154" said "Oct alow?, Rive no slant?, or
I'll arrest vou." The youth replied that he did
not care about being arrested, as he had done
nothing. This answer rather exasperated the
officer, and drawing from his pocket his star, lie
Tinned it on his coat, and marched the lad into
the Central Station, where a crowd followed.
The turnkey asked what the charge was,
when the ofllcer mumbled something about lock
ing him up for a few hours, lie then proceeded
in a rough way to search the youth, when the
latter proffered to hand orer h is pittance of
Bamlngs. DrawlDg forth a tin tobacco box, the
Ulcer "No 1M" made a grab for it, the youth
refusine to deliver 11 until he had counted his
money "No. 154" then made another grab at
the lad nd this time almost tore his coat from
fcla back. At this luncture several citizens
interposed and the ofllcer desisted. Lieutenant
Thomas arriving, to his credit be it said,
nrnmnlT discharged the lad and ordered the
officer to pay for the calamus ho had stolen.
This the lad refused to accept, but went his way,
clad to clear himself of trouble. The matter, we
understand, has been reported to Chief Mulhol
land, and the prtuHc awaits the resnlt.
All About a lHny On Friday list a Mrs.
Stock, wife of Adam Stock, reold'ing at the
corner of Fifth and Monroe streets, left this city
by way of the North Pennsylvania lino to pro
ceed to Easton. Mrs. Stock was accompanied
by three children and a baby. On their arrival
nt Thillpoburg a little girl, aged twelve years,
stepped off the trai, waen the mother handed
fc - ; babv, bat before she could get the other
S alldron off, the train had started. Rumors
were soon afloat that it was a trick of the mother
, j get rid of the children, and quite an excite
ment existed for some time. In the meantimo
the little girl and baby were taken to Mr. Ben
nett's Hotel by Officer Baker, where their wants
were kindly provided for, and Mr. Iliggins sent
a despatch to the conductor of the train, who in
return telegraphed that the mother had got off
st Harmony station, and was walking back to
Phllipsburg. Mrs. Stock reached the latter
place some hours afterwards, worn out, but over
joyed to find her lost ones.
Robbebt. The store of R. Hoskins Co.,
stationers, No. 913 Arch street, was broken into
irom the rear on Sunday night last and robbed
of fine cutlery and other goods to the amount of
between three and four hundred dollars. The
firm keep a large stock of gold pons, pencils,
etc., always on hand, but they were locked up
In their fire-proof sate and were unmolested by
. the burglars. Messrs. Hoskins & Co. 'a store is
entirely shutterless, presenting a front almost
altogether of glass, and a light U kept always
burning at night In the store. Persons passing
the place, therefore, at night, can have a full
View of the whole establishment, and on this
account the robbery of their place is one of the
most daring we have been called upon to chroni
cle in a long time, more especially as the cases
where the goods were taken from are very near
the front of the store.
Stocks and Real Estate. The following
sales were made by M. Thomas & Sons, at the

To-night is set apart for the delivery of
eulogies upon the late "Democratic Associa
tion. ' Lewis C. Cassidy, John Campbell, George
B. Berrill, and others will participate in the ead
rites.
The bootblacks to-dav have been doing a
iine business, and heartily thank "Old Jupe" for
the favors so kindly bestowed.
It is astonishing the number of new faces
m ne.es amoncrst the police force daily. Like'
wise astonishing is the previous character of
some of the new appointees.
More Shooting. About Vi o'clock this A.
M. Officers Clarke and Kneass observed two suspicious-looking
characters lurking around the
neighborhood of Tenth and Ogden streets. On
the officers approaching them one of the two
drew a revolver and fired a couple of shots at
Kneass, which compliment Kneass returned, but
unfortunately none of his shots took effect. The
rascals then escaped, leaving their "kit" of bur
glars' tools behind them.
Will. The will of the late Elizabeth Hop
kins was admitted to probate to-day. It con
tains the following public bequests: Old Man's
Home, $500; Indigent Widows' and 8ingle

$200; Foster Home Association, $200.
Fire. About 4 o'clock this morning a fire
occurred in the wholesale produce establishment
of Hammell A Pyle, No. 830 North Water street.
"The fire was first discovered by Sergeant Coates,
who at once gave the alarm to the Vigilant and
Perseverance Fire Companies, and then caused
a telegraphic alarm to be given. The prompt
ness of the ofllcer saved the greater portion of
the property.
Dangerous. The slate roofs of the buildings
Nos. 306, 308, and 310 S. Second street are in a
dilapidated condition, and every gale of wind car
ries pieces thereof into the 6trect, thus endan
gering the lives of passers-by. Attention should
be paid to this matter at once. .
Unfilial. Thomas Hines, who resides with
his stepfather, at Twenty-fourth and Kent
streets, was yesterday' held in $(XX) bail to
answer the charge of committing an assault and
battery upon the said step-parent.
Pickpocket. Last night one James
McLaughlin was arrested at Front and Dock
streets whilst attempting to pick the pocket of a
party named Isaac 0. Fowler. James was taken
before aa alderman, and sent to prison in de-
Finn. About 8,l o'clock last P. M. an alarm
of fire was caused by the burning of a foul chim
ney at Tenth and Rodman streets.

with resolutions that John R. Reading, the sit

Mr. Schenck gave notice that he would move

Mr. Logan, rising to a personal explanation,
said that he had some facts and figures which
he wished to present in justification to the
House and to himself. He then sent to the
clerk's desk and had read the letter already pub
lished, from General Sherman to Senator Wilson,
of Massachusetts, in criticism of the bill to reor
ganize the army, and of Logan's speech in the
House In support of It.
The letter; having been read, Mr. Logan expressed
Lis regret at being called upon to reply to sums
remarks mad. n that most extraordinary and re
markHhle letter, lie had It read so that It mljrht go
on the reenrrtr if the connwy. He shonlil not In
quire who the Tntleracn were who got that letter
to be wr tten. ?hcv were said to be members or
Congress, but W . had hoped that members would be
at)ie to make t lelrown arguments witnout inviting
the Ccneral of the army to make a speech for them.
It had been sud In the newspapers tnat senator
Wilson had Invited that letter, but he had asked
Senator Wilson It that were so aim he denied It. It
had also been said that Senator Wilson had written
a letter thanking General Sherman for that letter,
but Senator Wilson Informed him that it was not
true. One of the remarkable features of the letter
was, first, that it should not have been written at
all, and, second, that such language as Is u4d In It
should have emanated from the General of the
Army.
lie naa nntning to say against uenerai enerman,
who was a gallant officer and soldier, from whose
reputation he had never attempted to detract in the
slightest degree. Hat self-respect demanded of him
when he wus assailed, and when the House was
assailed through him, when he was charged with
falsehood in tits statements, to reply to inosa enarges
and to show that his original statements were per
fectly correct.
nr. i.ogan said mat ne naaspoxen oi toe stau oi
the armies and that he spoke or that now.
Mr. Hiocum wanted the lionse and tne country to
understand that what were called staff officers la the
Vnlted States were not called stair officers abroad,
and that althoagh the staff here might number 600
officers, there were five times as many men perform
ing tne same duties in Ktirooean armies.
it was therefor nntatr to tne army to attempt to
make the House believe that the army of the
l ulled states was using more men to perform staff
duties than the uropean armies were, tor mat was
not so.
Mr. Logan replied that if the gentlaman from New
lork would not be so exeitea. lie would near tne x
planatlnnof that. He did not want the gentleman
to say tnat he (Mr. Logan) was trymg to aeceive tne
Bouse.
Mr. Slocnm did not think that he (Mr. Logan) was
doing so, but he thought it likely that members
might be led astray by his remarks.
llr. Lonan nreferred to oursue nis own course in
the matter, aud let the gentleman (Mr. Slocum) pur
sue his. if tnat gentleman would De quiet ne wouia
show that what he had said was true to tne letter.
He then proceeded to quote from military author!'

taken It to the Secretary of War, General llelknap.
and said that he wanted him and General Shernmn
to sit down with him (Losran) and no over the bill
together. That was done. General Belknap read
over the bill, section by section. t General ener-
man, and General Sherman made but two objections
to It and the Secretary of War but one, and that one
he wrote out and he (Logan) put it In the bill as an
amendment.
General Sherman's objection was the muster out
Of general officers, and another objection which he
(Loiran) would not mention. These were facts, and
he aked what kind of taste that man had In making
a Deraonal attack on him tnrougn tue newspapers.
lie quoted against General Sherman an extract
from his report to the Secretary of War, recom
mending the assembling of a court of disinterested
general oflicers, to which should be committed tho
whole matter of a reduction and reorganization of
the army, with transfers of officers ti fill vacancies,
the'very thing provided for lu the first section of the
Dill.
As to the proposed reduction of the pay of gene
ral officers, the President might have told General
Sherman that his salary should not be reduced, but
that was not his (Mr. Logan's) opinion, nor tho
opinion of tne iiouse. it niignt ne mat General
Sherman, with a smaller salary, would not be abla
to give dinners or receptions, but he (Mr. Logan)
did not care anything about that. In defense of
the taxpayers, of the crippled soldiers, and or sol
diers' widows, he protested against the usurpation
or power in the hands of a few men.
lie protested against the attempt of men In high
positions to dictate legislation to Congress. Tue
legislative department of the Government must be
free, untrammelled, and unfettered. He would say
to these men in high positions that they were
not the lawmakers but the law obeycrs,
they must not dictate the amount of taxation to
be paid for their benefit. Whenever legislation
became so stifled and crippled that a man who
stood np for the people in a manly, honest, and pro
per spirit, was to ne attacicea in tne columns oi tne
newsDapers bv high ofliclals, demanding that Con
press Bhall not do certain things, then he would say
farewell to the liberties of the country.
He wanted to know whether this attack upon him
meant that the country was to be turned over to the
hands of a few aristocrats, as In Europe? Whether
tttioa wr to liana hr? Whether Rste was to
ue estaunsneo? netner an order or nobility was to
grow up nere7 The people were nonest, and brave,
and true. It was the boys who carried the musket
who made generals, and it was they also who made
Presidents.
He stood here to defend the rights of those men,
and of their widows' aud orphans, and to defend the
liberties of the people, and whether assailed by
generals, by marshals, by governors, by kings, by
princes or potentates, by newspapers or by aristo
crats, be wonld still be found making war against
dictation and dictators, against aristocracy, and lu
favor or republicanism. (Clapping of hands In the
galleries)
On motion of Mr. flchenck, It was ordered that all
general debate on the Tariff bill shall cIobb to-morrow
an hour and a half after the House goes into
Committee of the Whole.
The House then, at 2 o'clock, went Into Committee
of the Whole, Mr. Washburn (Wis.) in the chair on
the Tariff bill, and was addressed by Mr. Marshall, a
member of the Committee of Ways and Means,
against protective tariffs and in favor of free-trade
