JOSHUA T. OWEN,
EX-PRESIDENT PIERCE
The best evidence of the personal qualities
and political sincerity of a public man is the
judgment of his immediate neighbors. Such
a Man, after a long battle with life, on his re
turning to his own community, there to resume
the avocations of peace and of honor, sur
roinded with the respect and good will of his
fellow-citizens, enjoys a prouder consolation
fat; than when greeted with the buzzes of par
ti4ns moving in the atmosphere of ?Ilya'
flatteries. Before such a spectacle, animosities
are regretted and forgotten, harsh judgments
revised and repented, and early associations
rOalled in all their freshness. But when he
who has tilled the highest office upon earth, to
which he was called by the unsolicited suf
frages of his countrymen, gives back to the
pePple the power confided to his hands, and
retires to the bosom of his own State, to spend
in; peace and in comfort the remainder of his
dtiys, we are presented with an example such
as! the annals of few nations can furnish. In
nothing is the peculiar character of our in
stitutions so singularly and beautifully illus
trated as in such an example. Unlike the
monarch, who is compelled in leaving his
throne to leave his country, and who, in his
solitary and reluctant retirement, preys upon
his own proud heart, our WASUINGTON at
Mount Vernon, our JEFFERSON at Monticello,
our JACKSON at the Hermitage, our Vitt Bo-
REM at Kinder Hook, and our Poi at Nash
ville, become ouco more a part of the great
constituency which they represented in the
Chief Magistracy, and are clothed with the
rights and bound by the obligations common
to every citizen, deeming it no less important
to be true to these duties in their primary rela
tions than when they were called upon to dis
charge the high functions of the Presi
dency.
President MADISON, after his official term,
became a member of the Convention to reform
the Virginia Constitution, and Jelin QUINCY
ADAMS, for years after his term, was a dis
tinguished member of the National House of
Representatives—instances that show that
while we select our best and worthiest men as
the Executives of the General Government,
yet this is no bar to their subsequent accept
ance of humbler stations in the service of the
country.
On the 6th of March, 1867, another Presi
dent closed his four years of labor and resumed
his relations to his immediate neighbors :—wo
allude to FRANKLIN PIERCE, once more the re
sident of a quiet country town in Now Iltuup
shipe—once more one of the people, sharing
with them the rights and duties common to us
all. The same qualities that made him so
many friends in the Presidential office will
adorn his station in private life. The same ge
nerous, chivalric, and sincere nature which sur
rounded him with ardent supporters at Wash
ington renders his d ignified retirement an agree
able seclusion. Ho can, from this seclusion,
look back over all his experience in national
p'oliidos wain:int feeling a regret or indulging a
remorse. Circumstances devolved upon him
more than the usual share of difficult responsi
bilities; but, through all the tempest of ca
lumny and the roar of factions, he maintained
ono consistent and courageous course, and
steed steadily by the fundamental principles
Which he laid down in his Inaugural• Address.
Traduced, as few men have ever boon tra
duced, he is daily furnished with evidences of
the benignity and justice of his policy and the
injustice of those who questioned it. The able
Cabinet which ho called to his support re
mained by his side during his term of office ;
and although two have since been called to
their final account, they seemed to have been
reserved to complete the record of his Admin
istration. In after years, when the historian
conies to write of his Administration, the cen
sures and the condemnations of heated parti
sanship will have disappeared, and a just and
impartial judgment will place it side by side
with the most illustrious in our annals.
Immediately before President PIERCD left
Washington, he was addressed by various pub
lic bodies in language of the warmest affection
and esteem. His pathway to Now Hampshire
was strewn with the good wishes and ardent
applause of his countrymen. Here in Phila
delphia he sojourned for some weeks, associa
ting with our people and attaching to himself
all who met him, by his dignified and capti
vating manners. The fact that he had been
elected President by a party seemed to have
been forgotten by general consent, and when
he departed to his own home, he left behind
him hundreds who, had they known him better
and earlier, would have been his strongest sup
porters. Among the many testimonials of this
character, the following correspondence de
serves a special notice. We copy it from the
Bible Society Record, for May, 1867. What
is peculiar in this correspondence is the fact
that Mr. FRELINCMUYSDN, the President of the
American Bible Society, was himself the Whig
candidate for President on the Mawr CLAY
ticket In 1844. His allusions to General
PIERCE reflect credit upon his heart, and the
reply of the •ex-President is marked by his
characteristic simplicity and elegance of style :
AIIEHRPAN I.IIIILR ILIOIRTY MUSK, AIME FLACK,
14KW YORK; Jantiary 10, 1817,
TO FRANKLIN VlElick:, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
Boatman Arm De e m Sin : The Managers of the
American Bible Society having recently prepared,
with unusual pains, 11standard edition of the Bible,
in imperial quarto form, instruct me to present a

'us the respected Chief Magistrate of
our favored Confederation.
In doing this, they feel :wined that you accord
with them Wile sentiment that this Divine Book
stands closely connected with tho rise, prosperity,
and future walfare of our free institutions, both in
Church and in Stole. Their fervent prayor is that
your suoceemis, in all future time, may entertain
the ARUM samary convictions.
With thief deeply settled views as to the influ

hold of our 'loved country where it is not found,
and:where tre is a willingness to receive it. To
further ee aan object, many of our best citizens
in every AO and Territory are lending their

fot;auditilipinmu of yourself and your household,

With these expressions of respect and good will

milli with treet sincerity, these of
Your merhohedient friend and fervent,
THEODORE FRELINOHDYSEE,
President.
' • IVAsnrsarosr, February bth, 1857.
Duna Sin: I have received, by the hands of
Hon. John'lli'Leart and lion. Elisha Whittlesey, a
copy of the Bible, in imperial quarto, of the stand
ard edition recently prepared by the managers of
the American Bible Society, accompanied by your
letter, which informs me of the purpose or the
managers to present the copy to rue as Chief
Magistrate. ,
Pormitme cordially to thank you, and the mana
gers through, you, not only for the expressions of
gratifying personal kindness contained in the coin
tuunicatien, but still more because of the interest
ing occasion with which those expressions aro asso
ciated. Although in our political institutions there
is no union of Church and State, yet the religion
of our Divine Saviour is not the less an all-perva
ding principle of the laws, tho sentiment, the
moral and social existence of the people of the
United States. Christianity animates our nation
ality; it is the Duo epirit of good government; it
is Uncharacteristic, and peculiar quality of modern
civilization; it is the noble bond of connexion,
which, by community of religious convictions,
attaches together, and elevates into relative supe
riority tt intelligence and power, the sovereign
States of Europe and America. And wherever
Christianity diffuses itself among all the nations
of the earth, it goes to be the herald of civilization
as well ee of salvation.
Of this last and best gift of the merciful Creator

FASHIONABLE FALL STATISTICS
The study of statistics is generally con
sidered particularly dry and uninteresting.
Tkere is an opinion that a man might just as
profitably endeavor to extract blood out of a
turnip as amusement out of statistics. That
opinion is wrong. Not only profit but amuse
ment can be obtained from Acts and figures.
We speak from experience.
Yesterday-, being the First of October, many
of' our fashionable modifies threw open their
rooms, to crowds of eager and expectant
la*, and displayed what is called their dis
play of "Fall atuf Winter Millinery," all the
way from Paris. By the way, how appropri
ately, simply, and even poetically, does that
little word , g Fall" express the particular sea
son in the midst of which we are. How natu
ral that the fall of the leaves, in the sere
autumn, should suggest and supply such a
pithy term as this.
As we were saying, the first-class ntodivles
opened their rooms to the female world yes
-terday. What has that to do with statistics?
No more than this, that on a careful calcula
tion, no fewer than fourteen hundred and
twenty-one ladies visited these fashions' exhi
bitions yesterday—that each of them, on an
average, tried on five different bonnets, (which
makes 7105 separate and distinctive tryings
on,) and that, on the same closely calculated
average, only one fashionable lady in thirteen,
out of all that crowd, actually made pur
chases.
We believe in the accuracy of these statis.
tics, solemnly delivered to us, as correct, by
the best looking and most extensive modiste
in this city, who ought to be informed, and
who is well informed upon the subject, and
who, whenever she contributes facts like these
to our store of useful and entertaining know
ledge, is as welcome in the editorial sanctum
(to use an old expression) f , as the flowers of
?day."
Allow= represented Monsieur JOURDAIN
as exceedingly astonished at finding that he
had all his life been speaking prose, without
knowing it. Our fair modiste will be equally
surprised, no doubt, at our informing liar that
the information she condescended to give us
comes under the head of Statistics. But
it does.
But of 1421 persons who tried on hats,
bonnets, caps, and other Paris "fall " head
coverings, yesterday, only ono in thirteen
actually made purchases. We wero curious
to know on what possible pretence the other
twelve could go from place to place, tumbling
over the beautiful and delicate fabrics, and
not buying. Ono fair friend informs us that
it is scarcely expected that many purchases
are made on the opening show-Any—that the
round of visits is made for the purpose of
enabling the ladies not only to examine, but
also to compare—and that in a few days, under
ordinary circumstances, a pretty good per
centago of the brilliant fashionables might re
,tunt and purchase.
But,—and, as 'Wuxi' says, "here's the
111 V—there is considerable doubt, as existing
aro of ordinary circumstances, whether any
thing like a prettygood per centage will return
and buy. There is no diminution, we aro as
sured, of the feminine desire to have the head
handsomely thatched or covered, (if, indeed,
bonnets, as now worn, can bo called coverings,)
but hard times have sot in, and men cannot be
coaxed or frowned into opening their purses,
at the call of their wives and daughters. Bon.
net-buying Is usually considered a cash
transaction, but where money is absent,
little can be done. Our heart bleeds for them,
(editorially,) but we really fear that our mo
distes, in the present season, will do very little
business—from the scarcity of money. Things
have come to that pass that the ornamental
must yield to the necessary,
Retrenchment is forced on people now by
the pressure of the times. But this is a ques
tion too important to be discussed at the fag
end of a light article. We reserve our
opinion"—as the judges say when they have
to consider the conflicting authorities cited by
counsel.

OUR BANKING SYSTEM
To the Editor of the Press
Sin • Can you Gad room in your journal for a few
thoughts which the present crisis has revived
They have been matured by the observations anti
reflections of many years ; but the pressure of cir
cumstances may force me to offer them to you with
out the attraotions of style.
Our banking system is essentially a bad one. It
is not our fault, any more than the system that has
imposed slave labor on a portion of the South, for
which it is unfitted, or the one which has imposed
a public debt on tho people of Pennsylvania. We
inherit it; it was perhaps a necessity, or at least a
wise policy with our forefathers, and it has tome
down to us with so many heritages of a better sort,
that it would be ungrateful in us to denounce it
very angrily.
It would ho unwise, moreover, as I think, to
attempt its hasty reformation. There are some
habits, oven bad ones, which it Is dangerous to
change abruptly after they havq made a lodgment
in our constitution.
Barikaare the mere representatives of the com
munity. They era managed by men—the same
into that manage the buying and selling, the ma
nuftioturing and importing,. the speculating and
spending, the laboring and thinking business of
the world. „'They have just our impulses, our e,vm
pathics, our follies, and •our faults. Every one
knows this, who thinks.
Wo have no right to expect of them, beetmae they
are dignified with corporate titles, and live in mar
ble houses, and insoribe their engagements on pic
torially-decorated paper strips, that they shall be
wiser than the mon whom they employ as their re
presentatives, or that, when they have been misled
into improvident dealing, they *hall still come for
ward, as the phrase is, to the relief of others who
have erred like•themsolves.
Let us not, therefore, be too Indignant at the
banking institutions, which our own legislatiie
wisdom or folly (no matter which term we prefer
at this moment) has incorporated into our systems
of finance and currency. We have been complain
ing, until within the last fortnight, that the banks
would nut lend out their notes in exchange fa our
own as freely save desired; but we And now that
they) were lending them out over-freely, for wo
all sea that they have lent out more thrin they can
redeem. We forgot then, or we forgot now, that
our notes were payable in two, three, or four
months, but that thoits were payable on demand.
Tot, even at this moment, and in the easno breath,
some of us condemn the banks for not discounting
and for suspending payment. This is all childish,
and finds its only apology in the right which oaf
feriug, of all sorts, has to bo querulous.
But though wo should not blame the banks, more
than we do our other insolvent neighbors, it may
be wise to avail ourselves of the repose, which by
the old law of reaction, always follows a state of
undue excitement, to consider what it was that in
duced our sutforings and theirs, and to see how tar
we can guard against it in the future. We cannot
change the laws of our nature ; bat we may per.
haps make their ounsequenCes somewhat lose dan
gerous; just as the people of Mexico have learnt
from their expectance of earthquakes to live in
ono-story houses.
Lot us first inquire, why it is that we incorporate
banks at all ;—or, in plainer words, why should
men who engage in the business of banking lso
more favored by the law than the men who engage
in other sorts of business? It would puzzle us to
find the answer to this question, if the question it
self wore now to have its answer for the first
time. What would it be?
1. Is it that the business of banking is more im
portant to the well-being of the community than
the other businesses in which mon engage?
Lot U 9 see. The first thing man needs is food ;
the next, raiment; the next, moral and intellec
tual culture. Yet no one thinks of giving legisla
tive privileges to the farmer, or the wool-grower,
or the tailor, or the schoolmaster, or the clergyman.
This, then, is not the reason.
2. Is it that the business is less profitable ? A
bank, so far as this question is concerned, is no
thing else than a money-lender. The law gives it
the right of charging discount, instead of the in
terest which other money-lenders charge ; that is
to say, a bank that lends me ninety-four dollars
for a year is allowed to charge Tod interest an a
hundred. It is allowed besides to discount on its
deposits; or, in other words, to lend out on interest
the moneys of other people for its own benefit. It
would seem natural, then, that a money-lending
bank should be more profitable than any other
money-lending concern ; and the eight and ten per
cent dividends of our banks would point to the
KIM conclusion. This, then, is not the reason any
more than the first.
3. Is it that the business is morn hazardous ?
Why should it be more so than that of any other
money-lender? The banks run no other risks
than he does. If prudently, cautiously, honestly
managed, it is just as safe as he is from the chances
of loss; and if its losses are imputable to its own
imprudence, or fully, or fraud, no ono would think
that these should be compensated by special privi
leges. Neither is this, then, the reason.
I have suggested these three reasous, because
we all of us admit that if it is really important to
the State to have capital employed in some one
particular business, which is either too unprofitable
or too hazardous in its nature for men to embark
in it without some special inducement, the State
may wisely furnish that inducement. If gun
powder were not manufactured among us, and
could not be manufactured profitably, it would be
well to pay some ono a bounty for making it, that
in this essential of publio defence wo might be in
dependent of the world. On the same principle,
though with less clearness of application, some of
our statesmen have vindicated a protective tariff
But it never has been asserted that one branch of
business, not more important than others to the
public, cud at the same time not less profitable
nor more hazardous, could properly claim a special
bounty, privilege, or protection at the bands of the
State. Unless, then.atherebo some reason which
has not presented itself to my mind, the business
of banking may be safely and wisely left to rest on
the same basis as the other modes of employing
capital and skill.
But how, thou, has it coin to pass that banking
in Pennsylvania, and throughout the United
States, has been entrusted to corporations with
privileges above the rest of the world ?' The
answer is found in history. The first chartered
bank, the old North America of the Revolution,
was noth ng but a device to raise money for the
Government. Congress wanted funds to carry on
the war, and it bought them of individuals by giv
ing them special privileges in return. And from
that Limo to this, the whole business of chartering
hanks has bean one of bargain between the Legis
lature and the stockholders. I do not mean that
it has been always, or even in most eases, a cor
rupt bargain—but a bargain it always has been.
Tho bank has always been required to pay a
douses for its charter; or, in other wordy, for its
right to do what individuals bad not the right
to do, or else for the right to do it at less risk.
It has been a hard bargain sometimes on the side
of the stookholders, sometimes a profitable one;
but a charter is a bargain—a contract, as the
Supreme Court has told us, and, as such, binding
the State absolutely and forever, or as long as its
terms import.
Mrs, then, is the reason, and to my mind the
only ono, why in later times bankers have been
incorporated, while farmers, tailors, traders, and
schoolmasters have been left to work their way in
the world without special privileges.
What are these privileges? I have adverted to
some of them. First, they aro allowed to deduct
the interest on their loans in advance ; but this is
a small matter. Secondly, they may lend out on
interest the money that others have deposited with
them for sato keeping. This, however, Is not a
very groat matter ; for if men choose to leave their
money in the hands of a banker, knowing that he
will lend it out for his own profit, but at their risk,
it is no concern of any one but themselves. It is
their own lookout.
But in the third place, men who put out their
money in banking corporations do not run the
risk that attends an investment in other branches
of business. If any of your friends, Mr. Editor,
should think it wise to embark a few thousands
of their money in the enterprise you hare begun
so laudably and so well, agreeing with you to ac
cept a dividend of your profits, you know, and they
know, that they would be answerable for all the
debts of the enterprise. Not so the partner in a
bank. He puts down his dollar, or his hundred
dollars, as if it were at a faro bank; he pockets the
gains if thorn are gains ; but he cannot lose more
than he has advanced for his share In the ohanoes
The law gives him this advantage over the publio
with whom ho deals ; it is something like "Meirds
I Win, tails you lose."
There is a fourth particular, in which our char
tered bankers differ from other dealers : it is that
the law gives them an exclusive right to make what
t o c alled paper money. Very perilous money this
is, and very perilous the power of making it, as
well as handling it. In the times of the Revolu
tion, the old Congress and the old State Legisla
tures engrossed this business for themselves. .The
" Continental money," as our grandfathers used
to call it, did for a while to purchase arms, and for
a while after to pay troops. But it began to less
its value almost from the Jump, and before the end
of the war was hardly worth the paper on which it
was printed ; it is preserved now in albums for the
autographs of the men who signed it. When the
TWO CENTS
Constitution of the United States was framed, the'
story of this paper currency was painfully fresh in
the memory of every one; and it was with an ob
vious reference to it, and to the destruction of for li
-
tune whirls those experienced whose patriotism
tempted thew to accept and keep it, that it was
provided, as the organic law of all future time, that.
" No State shall emit bills of credit, or make any
thing but gold and silver a legal leader for the
payment of debts.” It was an ingenious device of
the State Legislature that substituted banking cor
porations to do for the State what the State was for
bidden to do for itself. Our Yankee sister State,
New York, has got round the Constitution quite
nicely, by allowing the banks to manufacture a
currency, seemed by a pledge of State indebtedness :
we see something of the same sort when landless
John Doe binds all his real estate as official surety
for the sheriff; but John Doe is backed in limited
sinus by men who have 'property, but do not wish
to bind it.
Fo, however, his, and the gold and silver which
the constitution-makers bargained for, has become
bank paper. it has been so for almost three
quarters of a century. and in these later times we
hare realized the fable of the golden apples, which,
beautiful on the tree, turned to ashes, as soon as
they were plucked.
But it is a waste of thought and time to complain
of the Past. The preSent is upon us, and we have to
prof ide for the future. The bankruptcy of our banks;
and the control which this gives ns over them for the
permits us to dothis more completely than we
could have done at any time within the last twenty
Tears. now :ought we to go About it?
I' suppose ma one dreams, in this good•natured
conimonity, of an indiscriminate onslaught upon
the banks. All, of them have, perhaps, been more
or less unwise t that is to say, they bafe not been
wiser than the rest of the World. Some have, no
doubt, been over anxious to make money, , as some
of us who are not bankers have also been. Some,
it is said,•have abused their privileges in one way
and another; and it may be that some few—though
as yet I have not heard this charged against
of them—have been knavish as well as indiscreet
No reasoning man—l had almost said no conscien
tious man—would wish to involve the unfortunate
and the fraudulent in one fate.
Indeed, our sympathies aro all the other way.
Thei, stock of our banks, I ant sorry to say, is much
of it held by persons who ought not to suffer if we
ean:help them. Widows end children, and aged
people, and charitable societies—they had no busi
ness to be dabbling in bank stocks, but we did
wrong to tempt them to it by our charters of in
corporation—these and others like them are grie
vously interested in the resuscitation of the banks.
I would not harm is hair of their beads. '
But how are we to protect ourselves and those
who are to come after us, against the discomfort,
and alarm, and insolvency, which the present rya
ton brings back. to 'us every sixteen or twenty
years-1818, 1837, 1857 For the man who has no
stake in the community, who may perchance gain
eomething but lose nothing by a change, the an
swer is an easy one: "Destroy the system alto
gether ; abolish the banks ; and let us take a new
start."
Just so. the man who lives in the open air may
exhort us to pull our house down, because it leaks
in the roof, or because its proportions are not as
seemly as they might be. But it Is not for these
that I write. The question is for the people, the
real people, of the State; and it is a practical
question. I think I beard' you say cnce, and it
wet well said, " there Is no politics in suffering."
nave views of my own on this question, and if

OLD FR4BIL BRUNK
LETTER FROM AR OLD CLAY MAN."
[Per The Press.]
I have road with much astonishment a letter
from the lion. David Wilmot to David S. Brown,
Esq., of this city, on the subject of protecting the
industry of the pountry by duties levied on impor
tations of foreign manufactures. Differing, Mr.
Dittos., from you in times past upon this questions
MO differing still more from Mr. Wilmot, I confess
that I was takes abed by the opposition puff of
Jai Wilmot, whom I have been regarding as a
free-trade man ever 'since his first appearance in
Congress, and whose speeches in Congress and
whose votes there, on the tariff question, certainly
proclaimed him a free-trade man. I have heard
him on the floor of Congress utter sentiments so
opposite to those in his letter, and so hostile to the
interests of the estimable gentleman to which ho
addresses the letter, that I have reason to believe
that the epistle of Mr. Wilmot is not the expres
sion of his own feeling and opinions on the impor
tant question which it attempts to discuss, but a
mere effort to make political capital ontiof the par
tial embarrassment of financial affairs, and to se
cure himself a few votes in Philadelphia by a mis
representation of his own sentiments
Has Mr. Wilmot changed his views on the ques
tion of protecting industry ? If so, when and why 7
Or is he the same free-trade man that every
manufacturer or commission merchant in this city
has hitherto regarded him?
Every party man in Philadelphia knows, and
the gentleman to whom that letter is addressed also
knows, that during the contests of parties founded
on the question of "protective tariffs," a mall&
cetion of duties on imported goods, to assist the
imerican manufacture and sustain American
capital and industry, David Wilmot was regarded
ail the bitterest opponent of protection, and his
vita was always counted on and received by those
who were against protection.
Whether that vote and those speeches were right
ok wrong, is not the question; but what I want to
make the people understand is, that Mr. Wilmot,
who, as a Pennsylvanian, so annoyed the friends
oK protection and voluntarily placed himself in
opposition to what the friends of the tariff regarded
as their true interests, is now seeking to " come
it:over " the people of Philadelphia, in this hour
of distress, by a letter, in which he refers the
distress to the very course which he pursued, and
recommends an opposite as a remedy.
Mr. Wilmot was always regarded, hero and else
where, as a Now York man; and when his Tote
was given in opposition to Pennsylvania, and
especially to Philadelphia, the cause was found in
his social and geographical relations with Now
York. The question of a tariff is, if not now settled,
to be adjusted by other motives than a wish for
votes, and tho seal of Mr. Wilmot for manufactu
rers requires au older date to be effective.
AM OLD CLAY MAX
A Singular Cate—Robbery of One Merchant by
Another.
[Prom the N. Y. Courier, Oct. 1.1
George E. Parmelee, a merchant doing business
at No. 25 Murray street, was yesterday arrested
by Officer Van Tassel, of the office of General Su
perintendent of Police, charged with having, du
ring the past two years, robbed the store of Messrs.
H. E. Dibbler, ,t Co., occupying the first door of
the same building, of silks, satins, and other costly
goods to the aggregate value of 330,000. It ap
pears that for a long time past Messrs. Dibble, ,t
Co. have sassed large quantities of goods, and
though they used every exertion to ascertain
where they went to, and who stole them, they
were unable to obtain any clue to the thief until
recently, when they were led to suspect Parmelee.
They at once informed the Superintendent of
Police of their suspicions, and Officer Van Tassel
was deputed to ascertain if they wore well founded,
and, if possible, to recover the goods. The officer
faithfully performed his duty, and soon ascertained
that Parmelee was the man, and that ho had
within a few months shipped about $lO,OOO worth
of the stolen goods to Philadelphia, to be sold at
auction. The officer immediately stated for Phi
ladelphia, saw the goods, and stopped their sale,
after which he returned to this city, and on in
quiry ascertained that Parmelee had sold a large
quantity of the goods at auction here. He then ar
rested Parmelee, and in his store found seven hun
dred dollars' worth of goods, which he stole last
Sunday from Dibble° & Co.
On his arrest, Parmelee " owned up," and made
a confession, in which he explained the modus ope
randi of the larceny. He stated that his plunder
ing operations commenced about two years ago,
and had been continued ever since. He always
performed his work on Sundays, and got rid of his
plunder before the store was opened on the follow
ing morning. To obtain access to the store, he
made a rope ladder by which he descended from
his own store to that of Dibbleo & Co. Ho then se
lected mob goods as he thought proper, tied the
package tokether, and fastened the bundle to the
bottom of his ladder; he then ascended, and hav
ing reached his own store, drew up the ladder and
its appendage.
Tllogoods thus obtained wore then packed up,
and before Dibble° t Co.'s store was opened on
Monday morning, he had them shipped for Phila
delphia or Baltimore. In this way he managed to
abstract from the store goods to the value of y30,-
000, $10,700 of whioh have been recovered. He
was taken before Justice Welch and committed to
await further examination. Parmelee is a single
man, thirty-five years of ago, and for the past
three years had been carrying ou a wholesale straw
goods business. Ile was, previous to
_going into
business for himself, in the employ of Messrs. Dib
