[DUCTOHS.
FAST con:
In the courße of an argument made In the Court
of Quarter Sessions yesterday, District Attorney
Mann referred to the rapidly increasing evil of steal
ing, -and the manner In which It was countenanced
by the community. Men receiving small salaries
suddenly splurged out and orooted large houßes,
not warranted by their means honestly obtained,
yet the friends who, a few years ago, under the mo
•jala of that period, would have forsaken them as
being dishonest men, now cling more closely around
Ahem. X -
He olted the case of a conductor on a passenger
car In this city, of which he had knowledge, who
took on a down trip *1.26, of which he returned to
the company five cents, and retained $1.20 for him
self. On the up-trip he took up a number of pas
sengers, and said to the starter that he had suc
ceeded In making something for the company as
■well as himself, hut he always took care of himself
first.
This certainly was a very fast knight of the rear
platform and strap in a financial view, and this re
minds us that conductors generally are getting very
fast. If persons are so unfortunate as to be of the
male gender, but few conductors ever stop the car
for them, and they get on the best way they can.
"With those of the female gender, however, these
knights are more courteous, lor they permit a wo
man to get one foot upon the step, when “click”
goes the gong, and away goes the oar, the would-be
passenger scrambling on to the platform of the car
or falling off, as the case may he. This Is no fancy
sketch, bnt a sad reality, as many of our oltlzens oan
substantiate. _
Parents, In order to render their children suffi
ciently active to keep paoe with the fast oonduotors,
must either give them the advantages of a gymna
sium or must each morning lubricate them with
petroleum.

It shan’t cost you anythingl said no, I Intended
stopping at the tavern all night; just then another
man came up, and, running his hand In my pocket,
took my pocket-book, and ran to a carriage and
jnmped on the box; I caught at him, when he beat

THE POLICE.
COBNEK LOUNGERS.
A correspondent claims on behalf of morality, law,
and order the use of “this valuable and usefnl
journal.” to call the attention of the police to the
set of yonng blackguards and vagabonds that con
gregate at and around the corners of Eighth and
Bace streets, In the evenings and on Sundays. No
respectable female oan pass there without being in
sulted j and when they have a large orowd there,
they even insult ladles aeeompanlea by gentlemen.
By noticing the above, yon will no doubt oonfer a
favor upon the community who have to pass this
nest of loafers, as I am sure you will upon a resident
of the Thirteenth ward.

moment before, and the next moment 1 mlaaod it.”
The investigation closed, end the accused was

hearing, to take place on Friday.
CAMF CADWAJADEB.
There are numerous complaints freely circulated
respecting the monstrous outrages upon the rights
of the people of Philadelphia that have been com
mitted at Camp Gadwalader. The desertions from
the camp, the free issuing of passeß—or, perhaps,
even forged passes, the accumulation of immense
amounts of money in the hands of officers, as taken
from recruits, form a subject that every person in
Philadelphia must feel an interest in. Much of the
money retained by the officials there under a milita
ry rule, which is probably proper in itself, has been
furnished by PhlladelpMa; and as recruits have
received passes and deserted, the money ought to
be restored to the city government, whence it was
Issued. The committees of the wards who are in
teresting themselves In filling up >the quota of the
city under the next draft should take some aotton
In the matter. It is vaguely -reported that hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have been withheld.
The real amount might possibly be ascertained if
proper inquiry shonld be made. A speolal commit
tee, representing the City Councils, would proba
bly be respectfully received, as it was recently
stated by a high Government official that the
United States Government did not want the money
so retained.

Ralph Walsh and Michael Houghton, who were
bound over by Alderman Beitler to appear before U.
S. Commissioner Smith, on the charge of attempted
fraudulent enlistment, have been heard, but it does
not appear that they have done anything whiohthe
United States laws can take hold of. The parties
