SAVANNATI, January 16,1861
If the principal object of Southern fire
' eaters was to drive all commerce from their
wharves, and send desolation and starvation
to the homes of hundreds of industrious labor
ers, they may certainly congratulate them
selves upon having admirably succeeded. The
results of this insane revolution become more
manifest every day, and I believe there is not
a reasonable thinking man in Charleston, to
day, who would not gladly give his right arm
if ho could recall the events of the past two
months.
Tranquillity prevails for tho moment ; the
Brooklyn has gono north, and curiosity is all
agog for the next move.
I have, as you will see, taken advantage of
the temporary lull to pay our Georgian fellow
citizens a visit. On passing along the wharves
I met with a Philadelphia captain who had
just arrived. Ho disclosed to me, perhaps,
the most base act of which the "chivalry"
have yet been guilty. The coast lights have
all been removed, and hundreds of innocent
lives have been thereby placed in the greatest
jeopardy ; ships hailing from distant ports, who
have no knowledge of the revolution, have now
nothing to stand between them and destruction
upon the Rattlesnake shoals.
I believe I am justified in advising you that
the people of the State of Georgia have no
sympathy with the reckless mob who are hur
rying them on to anarchy. The Convention,
which meets to-day at Milledgeville, does in
no respect reflect the wishes of the old and
respectable Georgian families. This fact ap
peared very patent to me to-day.
I was present at the flag raising of a Vigi
lance Committee. They were formed into a
club, under the characteristic name of Rattle
snakes, and were addressed with special refer
ence to their duties by Major Bacon who very
kindly and considerately told them that the bare
accident of a man having been born in the
North would not be sufficient to warrant his
punishment, but that if they discovered in him
any feeling at variance with Southern interest,
to visit him with immediate and summary ven
geance. I need say nothing more of the
speaker. Tho corps he addressed, I hope and
believe, represented the very dregs of Savan
nah society—a more motley collectiOn of un
washed and apparently brainless men it has
never been my misfortune to see in rank before.
The banner they raised was not nearly equal
to tho worst of the Philadelphia ward flags.
On ono side was a caricature of Abraham
Lincoln, with one foot firmly planted on the
north of Mason and Dixon's lino ; with the
other ho is attempting to stop over it, bet is
prevented by a rattlesnake, who is coiled at
the base of a palmett; tree. The strongest
disunion sentiments were uttered; vows wore
exchanged to separate from the Union forever,
and then, at the invitation of the captain, this
curious gang adjourned to take a drink.
I have moved about quietly in Savannah
society this atternoon, and have no hesi
tation in repeating that any midi Com
promise as that offered by Mr. Crittenden
would he gladly accepted as a settlement
of the question by all reasonable and honor
able Georgians. It they would even now
reflect upon the advice of their own patriotic
son, Mr. Stephens, they might be saved from
the tender mercies of a lawless mob. •

CUARLESTON, Jan. 19, 1861.
The telegraphic news from Washington, to
the effect that the foreign ambassadors have
sought no counsel from the Attorney General,
and will maintain on behalf of the Govern
rnents they represent a position of neutrality,
has given great dissatisfaction to the Charles
tonians. Preparations aro being actively
made to send out agents to Europe, to advo
cate t•outhern interests, and bespeak the
spare capital of European merchants, to fur
ther their traitorous purposes. Some of the
houses heretofore engaged in the shipping in
terests of the North, are also In communica
tion with a gentleman, now in Charleston,
who has arrived for the purpose of obtaining
information as to the practicability of esta
blishing a fortnightly line of steamers be
tween this port and Southampton; it is
understood that two-thirds of the money
needed for this enterprise will be furnished
by British capitalists, if the South will
guaranty the balance, and show them a fair
chance of success. I have reason to believe,
however, that while the cg Chivalry" would
ho glad to have the steamers, they will be
unable to find the money. The immense ex
pense of maintaining their present warlike
attitude, and the determination existing
amongst all the companies to get possession of
Fort Sumpter at any cost, is making such de
mands upon their treasury as they will fled it
Very difficult to meet. it is difficult for a
stranger, whose feelings aro in no way hi.
fluenced by fanaticism, to understand how as
tute, and heretofore careful merchants, are so
carried away by enthusiasm for Southern
rights as to be utterly blind to the still nearer
and dearer rights of their own families ' which
they have all but irretrievably ruined. No
body with a spark of common sense can refuse
to acknowledge that the trading and commer
cial interests of Charleston are daily and
hourly becoming paralyzed, and that bank
ruptcy and ruin will very, very shortly be
staring in the face some of the oldest and best
established houses.
It is on account of this patent filet that the
Georgian rowdies, who have the rule of that
beautiful State just now, have determined not
to interfere with the past authorities at Sa
vannah, until after the fourth of March, and I
have no hesitation in predicting that the ad.
vantage of this course will prove so beneficial
to Savannah, and so destructive to Charleston
commerce, that by that time the State of
Georgia will awake to its true and manifest in
terests, and seek again, within the Union, that
prosperity and success which is impossible
out of it.
There has boon a report pretty generally
acredited, that provisions have been sent to
Major Anderson, with the consent of Gover.
nor Pickons. di such be tbo tact, it will not
be repeated, for the feelings of the people are
decidedly averse to any such favors being
shown him, and I have heard more than ono
Senator declare; that he would impeach the
Governor for treason, it it could bo proved
that ho bad been so generous and humane.
-"The roporp of the Philadelphia Meeting
reached Charleston' this morning; and if the
"best blood," who harangued the audience
upon that occasion, could have heard, as I
sarcastic Totparks which were passed upon
their egortS, It would probably hp the last tints
they would crouch to the sceptre of King
Cotton.
The South Carolinians do not want to be re
minded, by Mr. Benjamin Brewster, of the
former pride and despotism of Great Britain
towards the United States and Ireland, or of
the supposed Abolition tendencies of the Eng
lish wople. The present desire and aim of
South parolina is to cultivate friendly feelings
with that nations, to Work lipon the cupidity

3 return of Colonel Hayno from Wash
inn is looked forward to with the most
lose interest; and should tho President re
futo withdraw Major Anderson from Fort
Spier, as it is generally conceded he will,
ymay look out for news of the most ex
ci; and fearful character. Nearly overy
mwhom I have heard expresses an opinion,
anmongst them I could name many mom
beat the Legislature,who aro firmly convinced
ththe policy of their sometiffie friend, Presi
delluchanan, is to use every connivance,
in der to keep matters in stalu quo during
tinremainder of his Administration, and
thiby shift all the responsibility for coercion
upddr. Lincoln. As the people of Charles
tenni read Northern papers,Congressional
doles, and the inaugural adresses of newly
eletd Governors, they have obtained a
tokbly correct idea of this diplomacy, and
their° sworn by solemn league and covenant
to teat in his ends him whom they had re
gard till lately as their co-conspirator.
Ito assure you, most positively, not from
win I have gained by listening to bar-room
gos), (for this I have studiously avoided,)
butrom information derived almost directly
fro the very High Priests of Treason, that,
I in c course of a week or two, a well-organized
a ltlz will be mode upon Fort Sumpter, on all
side simultaneously. Tho people arc fully
awis that, should Major Anderson resist, con
sidable loss of life must ensue ; but so per
snarl aro they of the importance of ob
taing entiro.control of tho harbor before the
ineuuration of Mr. Lincoln, that I do not
thin they will hesitate for a single day, after
thei coup d' etal is thoroughly arranged,
to trim the attempt. There are a large num
ber 1' citizens hero who believe that when the
attac is made, Major Anderson will iinmedi
atelpvacuate,and spare the shedding of blood;
and sough I place a far higher estimate on the
gallat Major's devotion to his country, and
thetonor of her flag, be could not be very se
verly censured if he terminated the difficulty
in hat way. Ho has been left in a garrison
whch, well manned, would be almost impreg
nail°, with scarcely a corporal's guard to sup
ped him. Tho chivalry" know that ho has
only sufficient men to work eight of his guns,

Would f,,Lve ...oun 13 CO 0 success.
I f o to,. hot too /tom a minute ex
amination of the possible points of attack and
defence, and am fully justified in the conclu
sion that an experienced tactician could suc
cessfully take Fort Sumpter, with its present
meant; of resiatance.
The Southern blood is at fever heat; they
a re « eager for the fray," and though we must
continue to hope that bloodshed may oven yet
be prevented, still we cannot live in the midst
of tb's maddened comratinity without fearing
that another sun may not rise and sot without
witnessing the tremendous horrors of civil
War.
I lave yet another conspiracy to mention,
whirl, though by no means a new rumor, I
bayonet, until to-day, had any good reason to
beliem was well-founded or reliable. I am,
howe7er, certain that negotiations are pending
with Secessionists in the States of Maryland,
Virgil a, and Kentucky, to seize the Capitol,
and prevent the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln,
by form. This part of the rebellion has been
entrustcl to those three States. The matter
is kept exceedingly secret, and, were I not
myselLa member of a vigilance committee, I
shouldhave been in the dark upon the subject.
I trust to be able to give you information in
a day or two, in detail, as to the extent and
ramilicitions of this plot, which I know is in
tended to be carried out, unless groat pre
caution aro taken to render Wimpossible.
The city is on the tiptoe of hope and ex
pectatim to hear from Georgia to-morrow,
and thcugh I fear that evil councils will pre
vail, ye;, as a son of Georgia, and a lover of
the Union, I will never believe that her se
cession has the countenance and support of
her lies: and bravest citizens.
The mast lights are still out; the first con
sequence of this mad freak has been an im
mense idvance in tho cost of insurance, and
the natuml result is, that Charleston, as a port,
is alines. defunct. VINDEX.

to which this traitor belonged to give new evi

they have taken, lest their silence may bo con

joyed the parentage of the Union during its pros
perity, (although having had a severe and unjust
punlehmeni inflicted upon me in 1858, by Howell
Cobb, then Secretary of the Treasury, at the insti
gation of this traitor, Captain Coate,) I feel a
double intetest and pleasure, humble as my ',coi
tion is, in serving it now, the darkest moment of
its history. The glorious example of devotion to
my country has been handed down to me from my
groat-grandfather, who was killed when in com

the War of Independence. I have, therefore,
more than a common interest in the Union.
Iu continvanco of my allegiance and good faith,

The Senate Chamber.
SBWARD AND CLAY.
A Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Christian Instturtor, one of the best religions
newepapera on our exchange list, thus alludes to
the scene in the United States Senate Chamber tin
ring the recent speech of Senator Seward :
Alas ! for Hader—the hidden world, the silent
world ! Alas ! for the by gone days, when the old
Senate Chamber, with circling ladies below the
galleries, as well as in them, resounded, ay, re-
sounded with voices
" Musical as is Apollo's lute,"
clear as clarions, stirring as trumpets, melting as
the most softly quivering harp.strings, when occa
sion called for the change; voices inspired, as
never were the noblest or sweetest instruments,
with living heart , tones, sympathetic in the high
est degree to every evolving principle, every
exciting interest, every vivid thought and kind
ling passion, naturally and instantly modifying
their utterances into all emphatic proprieties,
and .tilling, thrilling, swelling a thousand souls
with the diffusive and all•subduing energies
of one! And yet, if we were commissioned, by
due authority, to go to the gate of Hades,
sod call book to their old positions and role
lions the spirits of the departed, that were not
' enough to supply the present void. Ne, no! but
a summons would have to bo given to the grave
also, to restore the peerless material organisms,
whioh have stumbled there In all probability
the spirit of Clay, Webster, or Calhoun, if re
turned to the Senate, without its former physical
distinctions and advantages, embodied in a merely
ordinary organization, would be no more attrac
tive or commanding than is many a one among
his comparatively tame and unimoresstve sucoes-
Fora, What a difference between heartng one of
Clay's best speeches and one of Seward's best!
But, change the proooss—read the two, and what
other differences appear! The fact, the inference,
the practical result, may be with the former; but
the philosophy, the suggestive ingenuity, and the
rhetoric, will enure to the latter.

The Emperor Napoleon and the United
A correspondent of the National latelligeneer
writes the following important news from Paris.
The Intelligeneor endorses it as authentic :
It now devolves upon your correspondent to
describe an incident of the diplomatic reception,
occurring a few moments after these formal ad

momentous juncture in the affairs of our own coun
try, will excite a deep interest in the United

the collective reception of the diplomatic ;A n
over, the Emperor passed slowly along the line of
ambassadors and ministers, speaking a few words
to each in person. After a moment's conversation
with the Persian ambassador, who stood at the
right of the minister of the United States, the Em
peror approached Mr. Faulkner, and cordially
shook his hand 'The usual words of greeting were
then exchanged : after which the hruperor asked,
in English:
" What is the latest intelligence you have ris.
°Dived from the United States ? Not Bo Warming,
I trust, as the papers represent it?"
"Like moat nations, etre," replied Mr. Faulk
ner, "we have our troubles, which have lost
none of their coloring, air described In the Euro
pean press."
The Emperor. " I hope it is not true that any
of the States have separated from the general
Confederation ?"
Mr. Faulkner. "The States still form one com
mon Government, as heretofore. There is excite
ment in portions of the Confederacy, and there are
indications of extreme measures being adopted by
ono or two of the States. But we are familiar
with the excitements, as wo are with the vigor,
which belong to the Institutions of a free people.
We have already more than once passed through
commotions which would have shattered into frag
mente any other Government on earth, and this
faot juatifies the inference that the strength of
the Union will now be found equal to the strain
upon it "
The Emperor. "I sincerely hope it may be eo ;
and that you may long continue an united and
prosperous people "
Mr. Faulkner then asked permission of the Em
peror to present to him Mr J. G. Clark, acting
Secretary of Legation, and Mr. J. E Boyd Faulk
ner, acting Assistant Secretary, to whom hie Ma
jesty made a few kind remarks, and then passed
on to the adulator of Denmark
I repeat, that the account givon of this import
ant conversation between Napoleon 111. and the
minister of the United States may bo relied upon
fully. I have it from a gentleman who was present,
and who beard every word pronounced on both
sides. Indeed, the oiroumetances are now very
generally known among the Americans in Paris,
who comment upon the affair according to their
individual political sentiments; but all, I believe,
concurring in the opinion that the interrogations
and observations of the Emperor were inspired by
a sincere regret at our unhappy internecine diva-
scone, threatening a disaster which will not be at
tributed in Europe to its real sources, and which
could not fail to inflict a terrible blow upon the
struggling population of Europe, looking to our
country as a model of political liberty, and to our
unexampled material prosperity as the most signal
evidence of the success and stability of republican
institutions.
The American Minister in Paris

The Paris corropondent of the New York Times
writes :
"The American minister has thus far received
no reply to his energetic demand in favor of
abolishing the passport system for Americans en
tering France, but there is no doubt but that this
demand will be granted. All the surrounding
States are moving in the matter, and there is really
a prorpoot that we are going to have a complete
abolition in Franco of this annoying formality.

boon a long time since the United States have had
any minister at Paris who received and entertained
his countrymen with the same liberality and meg

O. Commotion in New York.
[From the New York Sun of Tuesday.]
The military of this city, consisting of four re
giments, wore ordered out last evening by Major
General Duryea. The Thirteenth and Fourteenth
regiments mustered at the City Armory, in fatigue
dress, about 9 o'alook, and the Twenty-third and
Seventieth regiments assembled at other points.
The orders wore issued about ft o'clock in the eve•
ning, and, in three hours, every roan was ready
for duty. The precise object of this demonstra
tion could not bo definitely ascertained from any
responsible source, but there are rumors that
there is a project on foot to seize the Government
property in the navy yard, and to take possession
of Fort ilatnilton.
The military are determined to hold themselves
ready for any emergency which may arise, and are
confident that they can suppress any demonstra
tion which lute for its object any unlawful proceed
ing. Those boat informed anticipate trouble, and
it is deemed advisable to be in readiness for any
thing that may occur. The military wore to re
main on duty during the night. Nothing occurred,
however, which demanded the use of their bayo
nets, AU passed off quietly. Citizens, generally,
wore not aware that any danger was apprehended,
and the residents about the armory wore not a lit•
tie surprised to see such a display. Many inqui
ries were made, but very little information was
gained. A great many rumors were afloat as to the
proposed seizure of guns and ammunition to be sent
South, and other stories of a similar character.
Information was received at the pollee hos+
quarters, in New York, that some discharged work
men intended to make an attack on the navy
yard
A force of about ono hundred mon, together with
the; detective police, were ordpred to repair tp the
headquarters in Broome street, and bold them

THE CITY.
THE CRAWFORD HOMICIDE
TRIAL OF THOMAS J. ARMSTRONG.
811COND DAY
In the Court of Oyer and Terminer, yesterday
morning, the crowd wee as great as on the previ
ous day, and the Officers of the court had conside
rable difficulty in furnishing acconsinodatioris for
the witnesses and rattles connected with the case.
Armstrong, the accused, still preserved an en.
moved countenance, and greeted his relatives and
friends with a pleasant ensile; but whether this
conduct is the result of conscious innocence or har
dened indifference it is difficult to tell. Certain it
is, that his extraordinary composure astonishes
everybody.
The first witness called to the stand was Thomas
Crawford, who testified as follows : I live 1425 N.
Fifth street ; I am a eon of the deceased ; use
eldest eon ; I know Armstrong r I saw him at my
father's place of business several times ; I saw
him at the shop the day that father was murdered;

don't remember any one doming in juat as Mrs.

I said before the coroner ho had a blue cap ; think
I said I did not remember What cap he had on ; I
have been thinking 'of the affair, and .this came
to my mind, and .1 am positive of ; this; have not
seen comparing notes with other witnesses ; I told
I the coroner that I was positive it was 'Friday, be
cause Mrs, Thompson was at the chop that day ;
Armstrong was smoking; I know Hamilton
Wright; he was at the shop that day, but not so
late as 3 or 4 o'clock; when Wright was there his
cousin William Wright was with him.
To Mr. Ball The shop is about 16 feet by 40
feet; I was in the southwest corner, and about
flee yards from Armstrong; I heard.the conversa
tion with Mrs. Thompson; wan still In the same
position as when Armstrong was there ; before the
coroner, I said Armstrong was there on Tuesday;
that is right ; he was not there on Thursday ; when
he came on Tuesday he asked for my father, but
he was not at home; my father must have known
Armstrong's business; can't tell whether he knew
the position he held under Mr. Stinson.
To Mr. Mann.—/ said before the coroner that I
was positive it wan Friday he was there; when I
said .L'hursday, I confounded the term " the day
before the murder," and I meant Friday, as my
father was found late on that night.
To Mr. Kelly.—l think I was examined twice
before the coroner; don't recolleot whether I was
examined before or after Mrs. Thompson.
To Mr, Mann.—l know nothing
. of the yarn
found in my father's pocket; there is a quality of
yarn there I never saw an the shop. IThe witness
pointed out the particular yarn.)
Robert tltinson sworn —I am a manufacturer of

the prisoner ; be worked for me up to the time of
his arreht ; for the last seven months be was en
gaged principally as a warper, but he did many
things.
Q Lid you employ him to sell goods for you?
This was objected to on the ground that it was
immaterial
Mr. Mann wanted to show the motive for this
murder, to conceal other crimes, the illicit traffic
by Armstrong with Crawford.
Mr. Bull contended that the Commonwealth
could not assail the character of the prisoner until
that character was put in issue.
The Court rule; that if the Marie. Attorney
was able to show that the "pritiontir toTd ' , ern be
that the prisoner sold to the deceased yarn belong
ing to Mr. Stinson.
[The balance of the evidence given yesterday
was similar to that elicited before the coroner, at
the time of the discovery of the murder, and we
therefore omit it, as deficient in interest.l
STATISTICS OP TIM Pooit DEPARTMENT.—
The following is an abstract of the operations of the
Guardians of the Poor for the year 1880, a full re
port orwbiob has been carefully prepared by C. 111.
Derringer, lirq., secretary of the Board, and sub
mitted to Mayor Henry, who is now engaged in
preparing his annual message to Cotumils
The amount appropriated for the year was
$234,317. of which $5,000 was for erecting a work
shop The amount expended was $224,935 52,
leaving a balance of $9 381 48, which merged into
the City Treasury on the Slat of December,
1/360.
There was paid into the City Treasury by the
Treasurer of the Board, from emigrant tax and
support cases, during the year, $16,476.20 8o the
total expenses of the department for the year were
about $207,000, for an average population of
2,545 Of this sum there was expended for out•
door relief $38,536 77.
Daring the latter part of December and the pre
sent month of January, the applications for out
door relief, in all the districts, have born so mime.
roes that the Board found it impoasible to satisfy
the cravings of hunger with which the poor were
suffering. Many persons heretofore in good air
oumstances, and who had never before applied for
relief, were compelled to ask assistance from the
Board, in consequence of being out of employment.
A certain per eentage of the amount appropriated
for each poor district was apportioned for each
month in the year, and seventy pbr cent. of the
whole for the first six months was restricted; but
the demand being so great since the beginning of
the year, the Board was compelled to request
Councils to strike out the restriction, so that in
case of necessity the whole amount could be ex
pended during the severe oriels, depending upon
the liberality of Councils in melting an additional
appropriation for the balance of the year, should
the same be needed, which will certainly be re
quired.
The outdoor physicians attended over 1,600 pa
tients during the year, many of them affected with
smallpox, the prevalence of which is attributed to
the neglect of vaccination.
The nativities of the out-door poor relieved
during the year were : Americans, 5,240; foreign
ers, 8,891; total, 12,140 Included among the
Atnerioars relieved ate 42 South Carolinians. Of
the foreigners, 4,952 were Dish, 1,212 Germans,
533 English, 70 Scotch, and the remainder of other
nationalities. Tho ages of the applicants were
from 00 to 80 years, 5,068 ; 80 to 90, 514 ; 90 to 100,
151; 100 to 110, 16.
The Guardians complain of the burden of ob.
stotrical cases thrown upon them, soven•etghths of
the parties being unmarried.
They also bold up to public view the heartless
ness of mothers deserting tender infants in the
streets, who are sent to the Almshouse, and after
lingering a few days or months, are relieved from
their sufferings by death.
The prevalence of small•pox in the children's
asylum compelled the Guardians to fix up and re
arrange the house formerly used as the small-pox
hospital, and recently the residence of the Rouse
Agent. The prevalence of this loathsome disease,
not only in the children's asylum, but in the city
at large, is attributed to the passengers by the
ship Elizabeth and bark Prima Donna, which
arrived in this city in June last. Extra vigilance
on the part of the port physician, on the arrival
of vessels from foreign ports, is recommended.
There were discharged from the house during
tho year, 4,154; died, 854; eloped, 938; bound
out, 72. . .
During the year $50,321 were expended for flour
and meal, beef and mutton, and porter and liquor.
Under the former board, In 1858, $03,891 were ex
pended for the same articles. Balance in favor of
the present board, $13,565.
The board has completed, during the year, a new
workshop for employing the inmates who aro able
to work. The building is 180 feet long, 90 feet
wide, and two stories high, and is located within
the walls of the institution. A great portion of
the labor was done by the inmates, 600 perches of
stone used being quarried by laborers in the house.
This building is nivided into departments for car
panters, cabinet-makers, painters, turner; wheel
wrights, coopers, tin and sheet iron workers, shoe
makers, and tailors, and the fire engine, which
wee purchased for $550 from the Hope Engine
Company.
The building formerly used by the weavers has
been converted into a blacksmith and plumbing
shop, and supplied with the necessary forges and
furnaces, which enables the plumbing and black
smithing recpsired to be done on the premises.
During the year there were admitted into the
insane department of the house 319 patients, 132
men and 187 women. leaving in that department,
December 31, 1890, 475 patients. There were nn.
der treatment 758 persons during the Tear. The
mortality was a little over 10 percent. of the whole
number treated. Daring the year, 54 were dis
charged oared; 103 improved, and 49 unimproved.
Within the same time 18 men and 39 women died.
The report contains some further interesting
foots in relation to the insane department, which
we regret we are unable to give at length.
The report closes with a statement of the opera.
tions of the hospital for the year, from which it ap.
pears that 8000 patients wore treated. The board,
destroue of advancing the medical interests of
Philadelphia, determined to open the wards of the
hospital for clinical instruction free of charge,
sublept to stringent rules ip conducting the clinical
leetures. Daring the past winter, the appreciation
of their pours° by the schools, and the students of
gladiola° attending them, was sufficiently evident
from the large class which availed Itself of the
privilege. Over 600 tickets have been distributed
to all the schools in the city, whether allopathic,
homeopathic, °Orate, or dental The board have
also established a pathological museum, in connea
tion with the hospital, for the purpose of preserv
ing such specimens as may be of importance in
medical and surgical investigations.

IiaNDICANTS.—There is a beggar detect
ive in Philadelphia, appointed by law, and paid*
certain sum to intercept the would•be needy and
those who oak alms. However superfluous his
office may be, and whatever views may be enter
tained of the abuses wnioh 4entry of his ilk
are apt to take with the necessitous, it most still
be recollected that he receives a certain sum and
is expected to perform certain duties
We would call the attention of the beggar de
tective to the great number of professional mendi
eants who infest Eighth street, below Chestnut;
Arch street, near Sixth ; Chestnut street, from
Third to Broad, and moat of the avenues whereon
the great mass of pedestrians travel. We do not
here refer to the deserving poor, driven out to big
by sheer hunger or sold; for our experience Is
very .distinot that with: such parties the beggar
detective is most likely to deal. We call the atten
tion of the present detective to professional beg
gars, one or two of whom we will signify to him:
A little boy, who met us on Saturday night, In
Eighth, street, near Sansom, with a faded red
comforter" tied about his neck, .and a small
skull cap pulled pretty well over his eyes. This
little boy was observed , by the light of; the gat
lamp to have largo and consplauous , patches en his
knees and arms, and a larger tino,"lilre a 'sign
board, upon the seat of hispadtainoits:` Hs 'etarted
upon us from the shadow of a tree-tea, and trotted
at our side in a very mechanical and natural man
ner.
" a penny," said this little boy, In a dolo
rous -tone, haim got no Ilro et home, and no.
thin' to eat."
I This plaint' might hcve been effectual, had it
not struok us as too spontaneous to be extempora
neous, and very much like something. we had heard
'before. • •
"Ma mother is sick," said tide little toy, re.
beaming a subseqnent part of his address, "an'
['Me littlo brothers paint got nojackets "
Anil:Lis was said very rapidly, and by rote
"We wants some ire ; won't you gie' me some
panniaq?"
We had been witnessing the performance of the
Zonaves, and west kindly disposed. But we said
to this little boy :
" You begged of no last night, any eon !"
" No, sir, I didn't "
" Yes, but you did "
" I never seen you before."
If that little boy had confined hie scull-asp
tightly to his cranium, be might have recognised
us ; as It was, he could see nothing but the snow
on the ground, the flickering shadowsof the street,
and some quadrupeds of limited altitude.
" You must not tell lies, my son," say we;
"liars have their portion; you have almost begged
yours."
Ile does not understand no. We proceed to say
to him that he not only stopped us on Friday, but
on Thursday end Tuesday nights. We are about
to state that if ho should be found on Eighth street
again, rehearsing his dolorous speech, we may in
troduce him to his honor, Alderman Beitler, as an
argument of the incompetenoy of the beggar de
tective ; but he sees an individual in great coat
go by whistling, so be leaves our side and dente off
to say, in the same misting manner:
" Gi' me a penny : we hain't got no fire at home,
and nothin' to eat."
So we call the attention of the beggar detective
to this little boy, on the ground that he bad better
be consigned to the Aetna than sent• forth by hie
omplo3 or no an apprentice at bogging.
The next character is a toll, strapping fellow, in
seedy trim, and apparently moving in an invisible
bar, inasmuch as the odors of sundry liquors con
tinually surround bins, who plies his trade at
night-fall, near Fourth and Chestnut streets. •
This party has an elongated story to tell of the
financial arida and its effects. He ban - been dia.
charged from labor—an unaccountable-fact, be
cause be never knew work—and Lea a large and
interesting family to provide for. We ensign him
to the beggar detective, because, to our certain
knowledge, he has been out of work at least two
years.
We have, then, the strolling beggar ("traveller")
who has just reached the city from Trenton,
after walking through the snow the entire dis
tance, and who would like the small sum of eigh
teen cents for the purposes of lodging and a meal.
It will be observed that the next evening, at a
different corner, he has made the weary journey
from Pittsburg, via Harrisburg, where he had
friends who moved away a few days before hie ar
rival. lie is a sort of 4 . Wandering Jew," and
therefore should be introduced to the beggar de
tective.
When these parties have been provided for by
hat official, we have some parties of varying kinds
o which he shall be directed. There in, there
