Robbery. —On 'Wednesday ,afternoon of last week tho house of John ML Greco, on South Pitt street, was robbed of fourteen dol lars. It is supposed that the theft was com mitted by a negro woman who had been working on the premises, and-who knew ex actly whero tho money was secreted. A Shameful Act.—One night of last week ■Borne unknown persona entered the flower garden of Rev. S. P. Speeches, at the Lu tlieran Church Parsonage, and carried off atid destroyed a number of tho beautiful flowers and shrubbery that adorn tho par sonage grounds. This is a most shameful aot, and the thieving rascals, if ever caught, should receive severe punishment. The ‘Church Council have already offered a re ward of twenty-five dollars for the arrest and ■conviction of the despoilers. 'Commendable. —The energy displayed by ■our street Commissioner in cleaning up our streets is very commendable, and we can now boast of having the cleanest streets of any town in the State. Strangers make a note o£this. The Empire Fair.— The Fair of this Fire Company closed on last Saturday night. We have not yet heard the nett proceeds realized, but learn that they have exceeded all expec tations. The “ Silver Fire Horn" was won by the Good Will Company by a large-ma jority over the Union Company. The contest was between the two last-named companies alone, the 'Cumberland Company feeling satisfied that the pecuniary circum stances of its members were such as to leave them no ghost of a chance to win the prize, withdrew from the contest as a company, but, as individuals, cast their votes with the Good Will and Union Companies respectively. The contest was quite spirited, bothoompa nies working with a zeal that would have ■done credit to shrewd politicians, and the "Empire" hoys have realized an immense profit from the enterprise. ID” Tlio huge elephant, " Hannibal," be longing to Van' Ambueoit, and who was ex hibited in this place about five weeks ago j,with Thayer Notes’ Circus, died at Cen treville, in this county, on the 7th inst.— This was supposed to bo'the largest elephant in tho United States.. B@*Got. Bigler, of this State, paid a vis it to 'Washington a few days since, and.had a long interview with the President. The Governor and the President are old friends, 1 and wore Senators together, and, as the rec ord proves, voted together in faTor_of_the ObITTENDEJJ G' iompromiso and all other pub lic questions tending to peace. Wo are glad to learn that Gov. Bigler was cordially re colvod by President Johnson, and that their views harmonize. This is a good omen. Strange Inconsistency. —Papers in Phil adelphia and elsewhere, that went into deep mourning for the assassination of President Lincoln, rejoice over the late attempt to as sassinate tho two Ingersolls. and allow the culprits to go unpunished.— Volunteer. Whatpapers'in Philadelphia and elsewhere that went iuto mourning over tho assassina tion 6( Mr. Lincoln, rejoiced over the attempt to assassinate the Ingenolls?— Hirall. “ What papers ?” Well, Fjrnej’s Press ■was one, tho Bulletin another, and the North American another. Do road your exchanges, neighbor, for wo dislike to answer your fool ish questions as they deserve to be answered. Did'itho Herald itself condemn the cowardly, murderous, infamous mob that attempted to "assassinate the two Ingersolls ? Has it m t encouraged mob law for tho last four years? if it has not, did it over condemn these outrages? We think not. “t»ATia in. ms Wipe's Petticoats;”— lt now appears that all the fun that was made of Jeff. Davis, for appearipg in his wife’s, dross qt the time of his arrest was a mistake —purely tho invention of imagination.— When our troops surrounded the tent con taining Davis aud his family, all its inmates were sound asleep. “Davis, when he got his eyes open, appeared at his tent door wearing a dressing govva—a convoaienca inseparable from officers of rank whoa at leisure. ‘ Thus, after' all, Davis was properly dressed, and the story about him wearing his wife’s dress is proved false- Nevt York Cattle Maeket.— Tho Herald of Thursday says—“ Tho exorbitant price of all kinds of meat has for somo time been a subject of much concern to the working clas ses, who will be glad to learn that a heavy decline'baa taken place in thcwholeaalo mar ket, and tho retail dealers must soon regu late their prices accordingly. Meat of ail descriptions eleven cents a pound from the quotations of five weeks ago, and tho supply of beef cattle is considered ample to warrant a still further decline.” ■Geneiial Halleok. —When Gen. Halleok learned that Gon..dloward was intending to inarch tho right wing of Sherman's "army through Richmond,-ho telegraphed Howard that ho should not permit it, and his guards Mould bo instructed to forbid their passage of the. pontoons. This was in retaliation of •Sherman's refusal to allow Halleok to re po v. Howard flanked Gen, Halleok by re moving his guards and substituting his own. O- A' review, of the gallant armies now assembled around Washington, commenced yesterday and will conclude to-day. 1$ EAETnaUME.fIF UfiRESIES. A lato-’aumhor of thd’Washington Star, a paper that has attempted to find an excuse for all the robberies, villainies and'tyranny that have-existed for the last four years, con tains this paragraph: " The apple of discord is now fairly in our 'midst, npd if not nippad-jn the. bud, it will burst forth in a conflagration which will de luge the sea of polities with an earthquake of heresies.” AVhether it be a rotten apple or a rotten, egg, let it “burst,” so that tho stench’may go up to heaven. For four long years have the people suffered front tho peculations of a set of men who attempted—too successfully, we fear—to cover up their villainies by mak ing loud professions of love for the negro,— Now that tho war is ended, and their oppor tunities for stealing are somewhat curtailed; the Washington Star fears they may quarrel among themselves and “ deluge tho son of politics with an earthquake of heresies.”— Recent indications assure us that the Repub lican organization is -really about to fall to pieces, and what honest man will not rejoice to know this ? By the cohesive power of pub lic plunder that party has held together Tor lour or fivo years ; but take away the spoils and down it gods with a crash. What a stench will follow I And how tho honest yeomanry will.rejoice to see the ‘"bufst.”— That party is composed of odds and ends— tho men who, years ago, signed petitions to -Congress preying for a dissolution of the Union; the aiders and abettors of tho first secessionist and traitor, Uoun Brown; ‘the oily rascals who left tho party because they could find'nothing to steal; tho old disunion Abolitionists; all huddled to gether to make up a so-called “ Republican early.” They have had their day, however, these political -gumbiers, and .ere long the old Democratic party—tho party that made tho country—will again bo called to power-by a long-suffering people. THE HERALD OBTUSE. ~We are so overpowered at the extent of our neighbor’s knowledge, that wo feel like giv ing up entirely. Seriously we don’t caro much about having a discussion with an op ponent who makes his facts tq order. When did Gen. Lee say that this compromise, by which his army was surrendered asprisonors of war, would have been agreed upon two years ago, had our Government desired it? Instead of aekingsilly questions, we would suggest to tho young gentlemen who scribble for the Herald, that they road their leading exchanges more carefully, and book them selves up on the current oveuts of the day. By doing so they will bo better informed and willnot exhibit their ignorance so frequently. We had supposed that every man in this community had read tho interview between Gen. Lee and tho chief correspondent of the New York Herald. That interview took place at Richmond, in Gen. Lee’s residence, aftor ho had surrendered to Grant. It was taken down “ word for word ns spoken," and was published by nearly all the papers of both parties in the country. For the infor mation of our bbtuso neighbors, we again!, copy an extract from the letter of tho corres pondent in question: “ With reference to tho war in the abstract. General Lee declared it as his honest 'belief that peace was practicable two years ago, and has been- practicable from that time to the present bay whenever tho general govern ment should see fit. to 'seek -it, giving any reasonable chance for tho country to escape the consequences which the exasperated North seemed determined to imposed. The South has. during all this, time, b-en ready jxnd-.c.nximis—fjor—-peare-. —Tho have been looking -for some word or expression of com promise or conciliation from the North upon which they might base a return to the Union. They were nit prepared, nor are they yet, to oOmo-nnd beg for terms; but wero ready to 'accept any fair and honorable terms, their own political views being-considered. The question of slavery did not lay in the way at all. The best men of the South, have long been noxious to do away with this institu tion, and were quite willing tn-day to see it abolished. They -consider slavery forever dead,” &o.' V” Such were the words of Gen. Lee. And, let us remark hero, that Gen.. Johnston, af ter he surrendered, used similar language. Stevens, the Rebel Vice President, also cor roborated the statement, and gave it as his opinion that hostilities* might have been brought to a close long ago, and the authority of the Union recognized, had it not been for tho fact that the National Administration persistently refused to permit Southern Com-, missionera to visit Washington. Wo are fully convinced, and so are moit men, that had it not been, for Stanton’s obstinacy— which obstinacy was prompted by political considerations—we could have had pence, with a restored Union, “ two years ago.”— The leading statesmen of tho South, ns well ns the leaders of their armies were fnlly con vinoed, even at that date, that their cause waa utterly 'hopeless. But they could find no one to treat with on the subject of pence, and were compelled to fight on. History will yot enlighten the people on this subject; and certain high officials who now court ap plause hecadse of the part they .performed during tho last four years struggle, will tremble in their shoes when facts stare them in the face. Mark it!—some men who are now cheered by shoddy contractors and de pendents, may live to seo tho day when a different sentiment will greet their ears. Tho sudden manner in which the re bellion collapsed aftertho fall of Richmond was a singular proof of tho correctness of McClellan’s judgment, He wrote from Harrison’s Landing to Gon. Halleok, in re sponse to the order commanding him to with draw his army, as follows: “Here directly in front of this army is the heart of the rebellion ; it is here that all our resources should be collected to strike the blow which shall determine tho fate of the nation. All points of secondary importance elsewhere should bo abandoned, and every available man brought here—a decided vio tory hero, and the strength of the rebellion is crushed—it mutters not what partial reverses wo may meet with’ elsewhere. Iforo is tho defense of Washington. It is hero, on the b inks of tho James, that tho fate of the Union should bo decided. - ■ B®“ Judge Richardson once said that. “ ev ervthlng was foreknown by tho Almighty, except what wo_u!d be the' verdict of apetit jury.” tT” The Government has now 800.000 muskets which are entirely new, having nev er been in service, MO ABE BESPOISIBLfc. The Carlisle Herald is not pleased because the late Democratic County Convention adop ted.resolutions condemning the assassination of President Lincoln. It was'” a matter of prudence" that prompted the resolutions, says the Herald. A more sweltering falsehood novbr was uttered, and the Herald knows it. The head of the nation had been cut down by’ the assassin ; the law bad been‘Violated; the’ command of God put at defiance.; -.the.aot of the miscreant Booth sent a thrill of horror into every man’s breast; men stood aghast at tho dregdful crime, and dll -condemned it in tho strongest language they could employ. the Democratic Convention spoke of this terrible outrage in words of bitter condemnation, it was “ a matter of prudence” that induced it to do so 1 Tho man who odn bo, induced to make a charge like this ninety judge other men by himself, forwo have no doubt that had Mr. Lincoln been a Demo crat the act of Booth would bpve been ap plauded by some men we know.just ns John Brown’s nets were applauded a few years ago. ' , But again, the Herald appears to think that because we condemned tho assassination of the President, wo are therefore endorsing the note of big administration, and at the same time giving the lie’’to our former stric tures on bis public measures. Sage conclu sion that—a conclusion in keeping with tub Herald's other points of argument. If our neighbors can’t bolster up a bettor argument than this, wo fear their rcadois will soon con clude that oijnddotirig a-pgb.lhbjourual is not their proper vocation. It is true Iho Democrats complained and even denounced many, very many, nets of Mr. Lincoln's administration; and, ns long as a Democrat livos'thoso acts will bo spoken' of in terms of condemnation. But that has nothing to do with.assassinntion. Democrats ' hud a right to complain when thousands of the best men of tho country wero cast into prison, 'without warrant and without trial; they had a right to complain of the tyranny of Stanton and the tools under him ; biffin all their complaints thoy pload for law and for justice. When the Abolitionists were mobbing Democratic printing offices all over •the country and using violence against Dem ocrats in a must high handed manner, the Democrats counselled 'forbearance, unless in extreme cases whore retaliation was thought to be tho only remedy. Tho Democratic press stood alone in its denunciation of those outrages, while tho Abolition press incited them and encouraged them. Abolition mobs wero organized oil over the country and the lives and property of Democrats were , threat ened. More than two hundred Democratic presses wore mobbed, papers suppressed, and Herald. thousands of Democrats wore summarily ar rested and imprisoned without a shadow of authority, by tho administration, and not a word of disapprobation came from tho Abo lition press. The Abolitionists, then, .we charge, were the men who taught that per sons who foit aggrieved had,a right fe take tho law in thoir own bands and administer justice as they saw fit. Thoy nre-.tlio men who set the example of using-violence against those of a different political faith. They en couraged tho species of lawlessness that cul minated in the assassination of President Lincoln. Tho violence' they inaugurated recoiled upon thoir own heads, and,, they, now reap the fruits of their own sowing, They condemn violence when il strikes down one of their, own party, but as -long as it is 'difeefoir againsj; their political opponents, they quiet ly-sanction it, if they do not openly approve, it. The Democrats condemned it-when tho blows fell upon their own.heads, and. they condemn it when it falls upon the head of President Lincoln. Who, then, we submit to tho impartial judgement of the world, is responsible for the assassination of Mr. Lin coln ns well as the many other acts of »io-' fence which have been committed against citizens during the Inst four years ? President Johnson’s Record,— Tlia final voto on,the Crittenden resolutions—which, •had they been adoped, would have avertedl the terrible four years’ war from which the country has just emerged, and saved millions of treasu re and thousands of lives—was taken in the United States Senate on the 2d of March, 1861. The yens nays were as fol lows ; Yeas— Messrs. Bayard,. Bigler, Bright, Crittenden, Douglas. Gwin, Hunter, John son, of Tonn., Kennedy. Lane, Latham, Ma : son, Nicholson. Polk. Pugh.

Fessen den, Foote, Foster, Grimes, Harlan,' King, Horrel, Sumner, Toneyck, Trumbull, Wade, Wilkinson and Wilson—2o. The above voto .will be found recorded on page 1405 of the Congressional Globe of that session. Mr. Johnson also, on the same day, Toted for the “ Peace Conference Proposi tions,” along with Messrs. Crittenden, Bigler, Douglas and others.’ See same page of the Globe. Such is the record of Anerew John son on measures which were designed to save the American people from the horrors of the bloody civil war through which they were compelled to pass. It is an honorable-record, and one which wo trust, for the future good of the nation, he will adhere to, in.its spirit, now that the grave trust of administering the Government has been, by a most unlooked for providence, committed to his keeping. Peace Once Moke.— The latest evidence, says tlio N- Y. Herald, that peace has suc ceeded the devastating war which, fur four ycara, has deluged the land in -blood, is the announcement that'the tomb of the Father of hia Country, at Mount Vernon/ is about again to ho opened to visitors. Since the war began the sacred inclosure, whore sleeps alHhat remains of the greatest man of mod ern times, has been almost in the midst of a battle-field and for a time in a hostile coun try, and was, therefore, not accessible. It is fitting tbat its Restoration to the public should be the seal so emphatically set upon the treaty of pence. The grave of Washing ton is thrown open just at the time the grave closed upon Ijincoln. Core for Bee Stings'.— Dr, Bush, of Char ter county.

Some days ago wo alluded to the specula tions ■entered into by the prominent Abqii-. lion politicians, by which they wore semir ing some of the most valuable of the South' "Carolina cotton plantations. Gur informa tion was based upon information furnished to tho New York World by one of its corres pondents.. The statement was to-the effect that Benjamin F.

' "iWe hftd hoped tlntt-the confiscated prop erty of the South would be appropriated iP.a way that might benefit the soldiers who have secured it; but, from the following item, which is published in the ,eastern papers, it is plain fobs seen that the privilodged few are to be permitted to gobble up, at-merely •nominal figures, the fine plantations of the South for nurelv speculative purposes. 11 The Port Royal New South says at the Government sale of abandoned plantations on and near Cooper River, Col. Leabrook’s plan tation of 700 acres was bought"by Simon Cameron, B. F. Wade, and James N. Dool ittle, for §2.700. Tlio'United States became [ r iprit tor of several plant-,, t ons.” . fn this connection it must he remenVberefl that persons cannot visit the places where these stiles occur without special permits which are almost exclusively, granted to office-holding Republicans, leaving competi tion from liny other quarter quite out of the question. The 700 acres alluded to is proba bly well wortbslo..',ooo, and the soldiers tvho have secured it to the Government cangot it, we have no doubt, by paying into thepoCk ets of those privileged Republicans ten or fifteen hundred per cent, on their ‘invest ment." ' , Now is not this a pretty picture of pa triotism ?. Is it not pitiable and disgusting in the extreme? Is it a less rascally per formance than that of the foot-pad who knocks his victim down and then robs him, or the -garroter who strangles the un - wary traveler and runs off with his purse ? . Will it nut bo looked upon as worse even 1 ’.than that, because the ■ footpad land the gar roter themselves perform the dangerous work of disabling their victim, I)(it these patriotic individuals have never risked a finger, nor probably any of their able-bodied relations in bringing down the game. They have only encouraged tbs war; shouted and bol-: lowed for uncompromising! exterminating, crushing war ; and after doing their utmost: to prevent Ihe Southern States from coming back into the Union, went to work and passed the confl-cation law, so that the-vic tors might get the spoils—they being the victors. But; bolore the victors in the fight —the soldiers, dor whom so much mawkish friendship was expressed—have had a chance to get a bit Of Southern land as a reward for their bravery and their wounds, theseley-' al” cormorants, through special permits rfash . in arid gobble, up the choicest bits. After Simon'Cameron, Senator Wade, Senator Dno-. ; little, and the rest of the loyal crow have gobbled up so much as they desire, thete will be precious little with which to reward the soldiers, or the “ Union men," or even the loyal niggers. President-Johnson’s attention should be specially directed to'this class of abuses. He has a quick remedy within hia hands and ho should not be slow to use it. Ho has deolnr ed his hostility to all aristocracies not found ed on merit and honest industry, and if ho' , allows those outrageous attempts to build up . a new aristocratic monopoly in the South, by the Northern aristocracy 1 of Shoddy, uptm the wreck ot the slave monopoly, and that, too, at the expense of the armies which have borne the brunt of the late severe contest' then he cannot hope to long retain the oonfi-‘ if cnee or respect of the Northern people.-*-’ ; We long ago declared that the radical pulley of Northern, and especially New England, politicians, was designed in no sense what ever to insure the integrity of tho Union, to secure the happiness, prosperity and great ness of the people, but merely to enable the leaders' to usurp the place of the ,Southern slaveholders, end become! like them, aristo | eras ; drat, unlike them, aristocrats on a free , system—which Yankee'shrewd ness long ago demonstrated was more profit able than slave labor. Let President John son at once put his foot on those nefarious ■schemes, the Southern people are to bo driven nut’ hnd their estates confiscated, let the lands be given to honest and 'deserv ing soldiers, or to the poor generally, or even to tho poor, suffering negroes. But if tho p pob de ans—Simon Cameron, et cetera, are . 'to he allowed to establish a new ortlcd’ of . sbpddy nabobry in the South, the troubles of , t ils country will never end except after the ( most fierce and blighting anarchy. ' t What has,the immaculate post office organ , to say on this subject ? Are its editors, in , this matter, also proud to follow tho load of . and “defer” to such a man as Simon Gamer ( qp? Wo could not have had our ears open . to what the world says, and not believe that i they would. And yet they have the effron , tery, too, to prate of gratitude to the soldiers , —“our bravo Union army," et cetera, et ce . tera.
