NEW BLOOHFIELI), PENN'A.
Tuesday, March l.S'70.
Tiik Skxatk Tuus-lii)' last confirmed
the nomination of Hon. .Joi!h 1'. liradley
of New Jersey, as Associate Justice of
the Supremo Court of tlie United States.
Ti:e Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations, liave vi led iieaiiiineuhly to re
ject the InvsJi trusitiew for tin; acijuisition
of St. Thomas. It had not an advocate
thouli it wan warmly indorsed by tlie
President.
General Jjohan lias lieeu authorized
to prepare a bill reiil.itin the app iint
iiicntu of cadets. It, directs that cadets
fihall have resided for two years in the
district, and the member and cadet shall
loth tile affidavits to that cfl'ec-t in the
War Department.
Stacy 15. Bakcuoit well known to
many persons t'.iouyuout the State, as he
was for many years the head of the linn
of Barcroft, Beaver & Co., and for twelve
years past, the senior member in the firm
of Barcroft & Co., died at. his residence
in Philadelphia, on the l!)th inst. Mr.
Barcroft at the the time of his death was
in the 70th year of his age, and bad been
actively and honorably connected with the
mercantile interests of the city for over
fifty years.
We claim that the people have a right
to criticise the votes and speeches of their
representatives on all measures of public
interest, and if they disagree with them
to express disapproval of their course.
.For that reason wo last week published a
letter from a subscriber signed " Busti
cus" in which he spoke rather harshly of
the bill passed, to aid the construction of
railroads in portions of the State, at the
public expense The receipt of a letter from
Senator Mclntire in which he calls our
correspondent some "pet names," causes
us again to refer to the subject.
Personally, wo have every confidence
in the integrity of the Senator and Mem
ber from this district, and wo did not tu
derstand that in refering to their votes on
the bill, that our correspondent intended
to convey a-uy other impression, thau that
their course had beeu an error in judg
ment, and that he, as a tax-payer and
voter in this couuty had a right to ex
press his disapproval of their actions. A
charge that Mr. Motntire was influenced
iu his vote by any unworthy motive,
.neither ourselves nor any one who knows
rf.be Senator, would for a moment believe.
The speech of Senator Wallace in favor
,of the bill, which he requests us to pub
lish, is too long for our columns. The
gist of the argument is, however, that it
is not only the riijht, but tlie duty of the
.Stale to extend this aid.
If tliiw in recognized as sound doctrine,
.it nccms to us an oversight on the part of
nhoso who represent this district, that they
didjjotteo that this locality was ' cared
.for, and that aid was uot also extended to
the proposed oew road to Broad 'Top.
"Though vie mil to see the propriety of tho
legislature teJUug such action, we can see
iJiat if proper to help one portion of tho
.State, it is equally right to aid another.
Since writicg .the above, wo have re
eived a communication on the other side
;t the question, whieh we willingly pub
lish, though we think " Justieo" fails to
. yrove anything except .that bonds of
.leuown value to tho amount of niao and a
jialf millions of dollars, are exchanged for
Iwudr of equal amount which may or
lilt JIaomficte &twcs.
may not be worth move than the paper
upMii which they arc written. The only
rnaranfoo which the State receives, as we
understand it, is that $3(.:0,0J0 of the in
terest on these bouds vliall be paid for
three years.
C&y Join V. Collius of Boston, who
Was commuted with the Treasurer's office
of that city, and cinliezzeled some $!,()t)0,
which he Mjiiaiidercd at the jraudlinj;
hulls, was soot to the Pcnitet.tiary.
The account says : "At the announce
ment of the sentence, Collins wept bit
terly, and his parents and friends, grief
stricken, gathered around him." On
being called up f r sentence, Collins
gave his history of his career. Previous
to his stealing this money ho had gain
bled a little, and acquired the passion,
lie then commenced by taking 'J or
$'!(), then incrcasrd (ha amount, until
losses were more than he could repay,
and that fact induced him to steal more
and more, lie fell into the bands of a
blackleg who lured him on, until h) deep
ly involved that he Cell completely into
the power of the scamp, and finally ex
posure followed, and the Penitentiary re
ceived the victim. A number of reputa
ble citizens were willing to go bail for his
good behavior, could the court but over
look the crime, but justice to society
demanded his punishment.

rested, on iatumay last, one juiy i or
ester, alias Frank Cambell. alias Prank
Howard, upon the charge of having
been concerned in the late bank robbery
at Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania, lie was
taken to the office of the agency on South
Third street, preparatory to being sent to
Wilkesbarre for trial. At an early hour
yesterday morning he made his escape,
by sonic means better known to those
who had him in charge, lie ran up
Market street with nothing on but his
drawers and shirt. A policeman stopped
him at Seventh and Market streets, and
wanted to know what was going on. The
fugitive, by way of excuse, said that he
had been on a spree, and waking up
found that his clothes were stoleu, and
that hi was going to a house in Filbert
street for more clothing. On his repre
sentation, he was allowed to proceed.
I'iukciton offers a reward of $-00 for tho
rearrest ef the fugitive.
A Curious Suit.
A singular suit was recently brought
against a railroad company in Xcw York
city.
The plaintiff, on the 29th of January,
1R0S, while in a Harlem Bailroad car,
picked up a package of money containing
$101i5. Being honest, lie handed it to
the conductor, and tho conductor handed
it over to the company. No owner ap
peared and the finder of the money now
claims that he has a better right to the
money than any but the true owner.
The d-ef'oHso is that the currency being
once placed in the Company's keeping, it
has become by that, as well as by the
relations between it and its passengers,
responsible to the true owners, and liable
to him should he ever appear. The
Court, however, held that the liuder, as
against all the world, except the owner
was entitled to the possession of tho find
and directed judgment for the plaintiff,
exceptions to be heard in the first instance
at general term.
A Wine Story.
The llev. Dr. Prime, tho venerable
editor of the New York Observer, who
has beeu a famous traveller, and has seen
some things which few mort'ds have be
held, tells the following strange story,
which would seem almost incredible if
told by a less reliable man: " 1 was in a
region in Spain where wine is more abun
dant, sometimes, than water. Good wine
better wino than is in common use iu
America is sometimes used in great
quantities to mix mortar with for build
ing. A church was pointed out to me
that was built with wine made mortar, be
cause they had great quantities on hand
for which they had no sale, and it was
cheaper to use it than to haul water a
long way to the building site. But theie
was little intemperance in the region.
Too Many Wives.
A man named Albert Cann alias
Harry Bobinson was arrested iu Phila
delphia on Wednesday last, charged with
having four wives. II is four better
halves all appeared before the Alderman
armed with the documents to prove tho
claims each had upon him. For being
so very much married, the magistrate
held the young man to bail in the sum of
$1000, iu tho default of which , he was
committed. ' '
Sprlnir Fashions. Last Thursday was
the opening day of the spring season wit h
the modistes of New York.
There is not much cliano or ahsolutc
novelty in new styles. Bonnets avo re
gaining their lost popularity and arc also
increasing in si.e. Whilo chip is sought
after, nnrl llowers form a considerable part
of the trimmings. The gipsy shape is
in general favor and threatens to replace the
present fashion. The iliaikin is higher than
over and all have capes. Tlie cottage- bon
net, is another novelty, and on some faces
it has a charming appearance. This shape
admits of inside trimming, and the indis
pensable llowers decorate tho diadem and
crown. Lace has passed out of general use
as material for bonnets and is replaced by
tivjM dc cheuc and straw of all kinds.
Notwithstanding the growing popularity
of bonnets, there is much to bo admired in
ll:o round hats of the period. Their crowns
are higher than ever, in some instances hav
ing a, brigand appearance. The brims are
also very broad, and not turned up as much
as before. For trimming many of them
have a wreath of flowers encircling the
crown and trailing down on the shoulder of
the wearer. Suits have not undergone
much change unless in regard to still more
elahorato trimming of the same material
as the garment itself. Uniformity of color
is perceptible in all the new toilets. Some
pretty contrasts of black and white, how
ever, are in vogue and will be much worn
this spring. The material for suits is
mostly confined still to silks of all kinds,
e ven to small checked and striped specimens
of silk. Nankeen, foulard, pique, and white
Swiss will be also popular this season.
Formir.ss Monroe, March 11. Yes
terday morning the deputy Sheriff of
Filizabeth City couuty went out to the
Celey Smith farm, il miles from Hamp
ton, to put a man who had purchased
the farm in possession but ho was resis
ted by the colored squat ters. To-day
Captain Fitlow, the Sheriff, summoned a
posse of about fifty men and went out to
eject tho squatters. The Sheriff' hailed
the party near the farm went forward ami
reasoned with them to try and make
them leave peaceably. He found some
two hundred men and women well armed
and concluded it was folly to attack them.
The Sheriff had five or six shots pass
close by him, but fortunately escaped un
hurt, aud all reached Hampton iu safety.
He has called on the Governor for assis
tance. Qnixcv, Tll., March 24. A terrible
railroad accident occurred yesterday after
noon, near the depot of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quiuey railroad. A
freight train coming down grade broke in
two, the brakesman being on the detached
portion.
The engineer reversed his locomotive
too suddenly, tho cylinder heads were
blown out, and the train rushed forward
into an accommodation train just enter
ing the depot. All the passengers of the
latter jumped off in safety except three
and these were caught iu the platforms
and shockingly crushed.
One of them has died and another is
not expected to recover, The third is
maimed for life. The cause of the mishap
was a faulty coupling iron.
JC' The New York Sun. says Three
months ago Harmon A. 'Block, n poor
German emigrant, was robbed of $o07
by the Hon. John Leary, a gentleman
coiuinauding some political influence.
Mr. Leary was arrested, and immedi
ately released on bail. The poor German
was thrown into the dismal House of
Dentcntion, and there he has remained
ever since. The case yesterday was
called for trial in tho Gourt of General
Sessions. But the trial was postponed
Mr. Leary walked off with his political
friends, and the poor German was re
manded to prison. Meanwhile his wife
and children arc starving in Hamburg.
Is there any city but New York in the
United States where a robber is releasud
and his victim scut to prison ?
