eon:41110.11 element in the Sonth—those who did'
all they could to break up this Government by
arms, and now wish to be the only elemenl.9ott
triumph. It will embolden them to renewed

they have the Executive with them."

larging upon the merits of General Thomas, and
saying, concerning Sheridan :
"Ho has rendered himself exceedingly oh
--
noxious by the manner in which he has exercised
even the powers conferred by Congress, and still
more so by a resort to authority not granted by
law, nor necessary to its faithful and efficient
execution. His rule has, in fact, been one of
absolute tyranny, without reference to the prin...
ciples of our Government or the nature of our
free institutions. The state of affairs which has
resulted from the course he has pursued has se
riously interfered with a harmonious, satisfac
tory and speedy execution of the Acts of Con
gress, and is alone sufficient to justify a change.
His removal, therefore, cannot 'be regarded as
an effort to defeat the laws of Congress,' for the
object is to facilitate their execution, through an
officer who has never failed to obey the statutes
of the land, and to exact, Within his jurisdiction,
a like obedience from others."

01 , THE THIEVES.—Ye - atorday afternoon, about
half-past one o'clock, two men were observed to
enter the stable of Mr. Charles P. Shoener, on
Sansom street, above Thirteenth. They went up
44, narrow passage-way, intended to let light into
the building and pried open a window. Mrs.
Jlaissell, who witnessed the entrance, gave the
alarm and gathered together a number of the
;stable men of the neighborhood. The
stable was surrounded and search 'was
.commenced. Every part of the
building was looked through, but nobody was
bound. Some of the searchers got pitch-forks
and began to poke into the hay in the loft. A
boy who had a long stick struck something, and
Then a voice was heard. It said,pleadingly,"Don't
stick ! I'll come out !" One of the fellows then
came out and was soon followed by his com
pardon. The two showed fight, but the
dubs and sticks of , the stable men
were too much for them, and they
.surrendered unconditionally. The prisoners gave
their names as John Young and John Kefner,
and Policemen Saunders, of the Fourth District,
who happerred to pass along, escorted them to
the Fifth District Police Station. Lieut. Connelly
made an examination of the stable, and found a
huge jimmy, a pair of pinchers, a,case of razors
and a prayer book. The book had the name
"Kinchkner" in it, and an inquiry at the cell for
Kinchkner brought out Kefner. On his
person were found three pawn tickets, which
called for coat and panto, boots and shoes,and an
overcoat. Kefner was identified by Justus Bade,
the coachman of Mr. Shoener, as a man who at l
tempted to serape his acquaintance on the pre
viona day. Ile admired the splendid robes, and
examined the doors and windows. Be repre
sented hunself as a bar-tender, and said that he
intended to present Bide with a bottle of ;
whisky. The prisoner will hive a hearing at the
;Central station this afternoon.
THE Ssfir OnomstiCE.—The salt ordinance
presented to City Councils at the last meeting Is
as follows:
"A Supplement to the Ordinance entitled 'An
Ordinance to Prevent Salting of the Streets by
Passenger Railways, approved "id February,
1867.-
"SufzioN 1. The Select and Common Councils
of the.Clty of Philadelphia do ordain, That the
ordinance, to which this is a supplement, be so
tar modified as to allow passenger railways and
railroads to use salt upon their tracks, for the
removal of ice, after the snow shall have been
removed by mechanical appliances, on all
streets west of Twenty-third, and north
of Berke streets; and on Ridge avenue, north of
Master street, and on all their switches and
curves; and on all streets crossing Willow street,
between Willow and Callowhill streets, where
the gradient is ascending for car travel; and on
Jefferson and Master streets, from Hancock to
Second street; on Second and Fourth streets,
from Poplar street, north four hundred feet; on
Sixth street. from Thompson to Girard avenue:
on Eleventh street, from Thompson street to
Columbia avenue; on Girard avenue, north
side, from Apple street to Fifth street;
on Twenty-third street, from Spring Gar
den 'street to Brown street; on Nineteenth

on Second street, from Union street to Pine; on
Coates street. from Front street to New Market;
on Coates and Green streets. from Twenty-second
to Twenty-third street; on Front street, from
Union street to Lombard. That when
ever the said passenger railway companies shall
use salt under the provisions of this ordinance,
they shall make, at their own cxpense, a connec
tion between the horse-track and the underlying
sewer, in conformity with section eight of the
ordinance approved March L. 867, entitled "An
Ordinance to Promote Public Cleanliness and
'Health."
A DONATION.--The private citizens of
Philadelphia have long been celebrated for their
generous and benevolent actions In behalf of all
the departments of charity. We have lately
heard of a fresh case in this city which,while it re
flects the utmost credit on the giver, is calculated
to do much good among a class too often un
cured for and despised. The Hon. G. D. Cole
man, of Lebanon, although now hailing from
the Interior. has always kept up a lively interest
in the city where he was born and educated, and
where helical for manyyears of his life. The
old Dawson family mansion, at the southwest
corner of Front and Pine, was about being sold.
and Mr. Coleman conceived the idea that its lo
cation near the wharves and haunts of seamen
made it possible that It could be used in some
way for their benefit. Ile instituted inquiries,
and finding that, the Pennsylvania Seamen's
Friend Society was doing exactly the work that
he proposed among seamen, purchased the pi o
perty and gave it as an absolute and lasting do
nation to that Society, stipulating that the build
ing should be applied to no uses which did not
directly contribute to the moral and intellectual
elevation of s'ailoO. The Society propose alter
ing the building speedily, enlarging it and making
it fit for, their purposes. Among these are a free
school for instructing seamen in navigation, &e..
a free reading room, whose comforts and attrac
tions mav draw them from the drinking saloons
and sinks of iniquity that are clustered around
the wharves for their especial destruction. The
conselowess that the gift will be put to such
purposes as these should be a source of no small
satisfaction to the generous donor,.
FIRE PROOF SAFEJ3LOWN Ork:S.—The grocery
store of W. T. Heise & Bro., at the northwest

which was touched off. The door of the safe

safe. They also helped themselves liberally to
wine and cigars while in the store. The exple

officers made a search, but were unable at that
time to ascertain where the, blow-up bad oc
curred.

NEW JERSEY AFFAIRS
AMA:STD' CI f Y.—lmprovements of various
kinds are in progress in Atlantic City, notwith
standing the unfavorable commencement of the
present winter. On Christmas eve an interesting
event came off in the Public School-house. A
large Christmas tree had been prepared, on
which was hung an appropriate present for each
scholar, contributed by parents. guardians and
friends. In addition to these were gifts for va
rious individuals. The ceremonies were highly
interesting„opening with prayer,and then singing
by the pupils and teachers. A prominent citizen,
dressed in the fanciful costume of that mythical
individual denominated Santa Claus, then made
his appearance, and after the acclama
tions of universal applause had ceased, he com
menced distributing the presents. This occupied
about two hours, when the entertainment closed,
and all went home highly gratified with their
Christmas tree. The City Council met on Thurs
day evening, and appropriated $l,OOO for the
purpose of completing the work- on the public
school-house. A committee was appointed by
the Mayor to examine and report upon a suitable
Site for a cemetery. The citizens have to convey
their dead to Absecuin for burial, which is often
inconvenient. To obviate these disadvantages,
it is proposed to establish a burial ground of their
own, if an appropriate piece of ground, suffi
ciently dry and sale, can be found.
AN Imroirmsr Dr:eisitix.—ln the Cape May
Circuit last week, before Judge Elmer, an im
portant case, involving the rights of the land
holders along the railroad routes was decided.
It was the case of IVilliam - Garrison VS. the Cape
May and 'Millville Railroad Co., action being
brought by the plaintiff to recover the value of
- 500 acres of timber -. lauds; - alleged to - have - been -
burned ly the defendants in May, 'ill, by
the careless management of a dummy
engine. Large tracts belonging to other
parties were burned at the same
time, for which the company had made compen
sation. The damages were laid at from $3,000 to
$7,000. The defendants insisted that they were
not liable because the fire originated on lands
belonging to another person lying,-between the
. railroad and the lands of the plaintiff; that they
were not guilty of negligence, and, if liable, the
damages were but $.1,849. The jury rendered a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $l,OBO 53.
The trial occupied four days.
ENLARGEAfENT.—The managers of the Camden
Home for Friendless Children have for the last
year or two, been actively engaged in devising
measures and means for increasing the useful
ness of that institution. This confidently ex-
pected that sufficient encouragement will soon
be obtained to warrant the, commencement of the
work of enlargement.. The great good this in- •
stitution has accomplished has strongly recom
mended it to the favorable encouragement' of ;
the public. It has grown gradually into useful
ness, and is destined to exert a much larger in
fluence.
A LARGE BUILDING.—Moro Phillips is erecting
a large building at his chemical works near Cam
den, three hundred and fifty, eight feet long by
one hundred and twenty in width. This new

tinguished. He built the chemical works in 1860,
and has from time to time made additions as the
wants of his business demanded. It is said the*
it is contemplated to remove the Aramingdi

Camden. His grounds are sufficiently large to
accommodate them, einbritoing nearly seven
acres.

Mery to Sleep in Arctic Weather.
The Toledo Commercial publishes a
letter written by one of the late telegraphic
expedition to Siberia. The writer says:
You say that you cannot imagine how we
live in such a climate. I couldn't until
tried it. I didn't believe that it would be
possible for me to lay out on the snow with
out shelter in a temperature of even 20 be
low zero, but I have done it once in 50 below
and repeatedly in 45. One of Bush's parties,
in February of this year, passed the night on
an open, barren steppe, with their spirit ther
mometer standing 68 below zero, or a 100
degrees below the freezing point. Quick
silver they moulded into solid bullets with
four minutes' exposure to the air. It's true
they didn't dare to go to sleep that night,
but I believe that had they been properly
fitted out , with' heavy furs and wolf skin
sleeping bags to tie up tightly over the head,
they might have done it with -perfect safety.
I'm afraid you would think that I was avail
ing myself of a traveler's privilege, and relating
a very large "yarn," if I told you how com
fortably I have slept on the snow in tem
peratures of 35, 40 and 45 deg. below. We
are obliged to sleep in fur bags, of course
with our faces.entirely covered, to take the
utmost care to have our for stockings per
fectly dry; but I have slept in that way
through the long Arctic nights as comfortably
as ever I did in a bed at home. From Sep
tember, 1865, until I came aboard the On
ward, a few weeks ago, I never slept in a
bed or on'anything softer than the snow or a
board. So you can imagine that the sensa
tion was a carious one.
Slitskespeare Mltinuscripto.
M. Philarete Chales, who, it not the dupe
of literary forgers, is the greatest literary
forger of the time, announces, or his friends
do for him, that in the immense and absurd
farrago of manuscripts, of which he from
time to time favors the French Academy of
Sciences with extracts, there are papers of
Shakespeare! "Saint-Evremond," he says,
"Sends papers of Shakespeare to MoliCire,who
had requested him to ascertain it' there was
nothing remaining of that great genius, which
gave rise to a series of letters on that poet—
'the poet of the honey-tongue,' says Saint-
Evremond, 'known to every one but whose
private life is yet unknown.' " What these
papers are, we are not told, but it is to be
presumed that Shakespeare wrote them in
French, setting the fashion in this particular
for Cromwell, Newthn, James the Second,
and the rest of M. Chasles's subjects.
