We have enjoyed tor the past two nights
a temporary relief from the ravages of
sneak-thieves. Wo trust that the relief
may be permanent. There has seldom
been known in the history of tills eity so
much stealing from private premises us
has taken place in the last six months.
Nearly every night depredations wore
committed In some part of the elty. It re
minded one of the fearful times which fol
lowed immediately after the war, when
chickens were safe only when tied to the
bed poets, and it was necessary to make a
pillow of a ham which you wished to pre
serve for the noxt day's food. Perhaps the
change in the disposition of the police may
have contributed towards this diminution
of rascality. Nine policemen are now on
duty every night, and they are able to
keep a sharp watch over the different parts
of the elty.

It lb strange tliat aomo people will in
sist that the reporta of want and suffering
In our community originate solely in the
excited brains of philanthropic fanaticism-
They suppose that because all the iioople
}hcy meet on the streets seem to be gay
and happy and everything bears a thrifty
appearance that there can be no real buf
fering. Because they do not see it they
laugh at the idea of its existence. There
is a capital reason why this class disbe
lieve in the presence of real suffering in
the city. They never trouble themselves
to find it out. Some of them care not
whether it exists or not. These people
never visit the scenes of want and distress.
Suffering docs not expose itself to the pub
lic gaze. It does not place a placard on
its buck to parade the streets aud cry for
help. It is found in the alleys far from
the public gaze. It can bo seen in garrets
by the dim, dirty light which creeps
through the cracks. It often lies alone in
damp cellars where foul air and water has
ten the coming of the only relief it looks
for—death. That charity is almost w>rth
lesa which requires its objects to present
themselves and beg assistance.
The truest, the noblest, tho only Christ
like charity is that sympathy for suffering
which earnestly searches for it, and whose
ear catches the weakest wail of miferyand
turns not away.
On yesterday we saw a scene of misery j
which should not be found in any Chris
tian community. We visited a man named <
W. C. Clegg who is in the very extremity of
want and suffering. He is in the Factory
Boarding House, and is attended by no
body but a faithful wife. He has been an
invalid for the past two years, during
which time he has not been able to work
more than throe weeks. His whole frame
is covered and eaten with scrofula. A wife j
and two children, the oldest of whom is j
only four, are the only companions of his
misery. This man is absolutely without
any means of support, and is as near to
perfect destitution as he could be aud live
There is scarcely a morsel of bread in liis
house, and he has not enjoyed the comfort
of a Are for many a day. He says that he
has never lived on charity, and only asks
it now because it is his only chance to es
cape starvation.
We make no comment on this case. If
facts like these cannot move the hearts of
those who are able to help the suffering,
they would not respond if an angel from
Heaven made the appeal.

these two parties are visiting Girard just
now, and are likely to remain there for
some time to come. They had as well
come over and meet angry justice with
open and manly breasts, for the memory
of their evil doing is engraven deep upon
the minds of twelve vigilant policemen,
and the moment they set foot ui>on the

will find them out.

Relief AtMM’iHtlutt.
We publish this morning a communica
tion from Dr. W. W. Flewellen, city physi
cian, asking the help of the public towards
the accomplishment of his design to help
the poor of this city. We are glad that he
has received such generous encourage
ment from those whom he has consulted.
He seemsj to be very sanguine of success
and lias arranged all of his committees.
The plan seems about to be put into
execution, and an honest, earnest effort
made to relievo those who are suffering
in the city. We see no reason why this
plan should not prove as successful xus
similar endeavors made by other eiti<>s.
The committees are composed of sterling
men and energetic ladles, and we are con
fident that they will not fail.
The committees are requested to meet
at the residence of Mr. H. S. Estes, on
Broad street, at 3.30 p. m. A full attend
ance is earnestly requested at this moot
ing. Matters of importance wiil come up
for consideration. Those who have taken
an interest in the formation of a plan for
the relief of poverty and want in the city
deserve great credit for their energetic ef
forts, which seem likely to prove success
ful. The main objection to public relief is
that it will attract and encourage idleness.
No one who has read the plan proposed by
Dr. Flewellen, can fear any such result
from it. The thing has been done without
increasing idleness and it can be done
again. God speed the Association to the
attainment of its noble end.

The pressure of professional duties has
prevented my forming an Executive Com
mittee of Belief at an earlier date, and
announcing their names to the public.
The Uatiering encouragement given me,
through the press and by the citizens, in
spires the hopo that a practical plan of
relief can bo adopted. The lady who, a
few days since, sought through my feeble
efforts, to secure employment, obtained it
within twenty-four hours. Her appeal
touched one of the most generous hearts ,
in Columbus, and nobly did he respond.
It is the “unwillingly idle” I would most;
heartily commend for relief, while tho sick .
aud destitute I would not have neglected.;
The ladies and gentlemen composing the j
Committee of Belief are well known to tho j
citizens of Columbus. Their past histories j
I arc replete with noble deeds of charity, j
And their activity, intelligence arid perso-.
nal w'orth is a sufficient guarantee that I
every trust committed to their keeping
will be sacredly guarded and faithfully
executed. It will require some time to
perfect a plan of relief; and until then, the j
indulgence of tho community is Invoked, j
No enterprise of a public character should |
be entered into hastily, lest it fail of ulti- j
mate success. In all our plans let wisdom 1
guide and time perfect. Then may we in- 1
dulge the hope that, os the bud of charity j
begins to unfold its leaves, we shall be J
able daily to discover new beauties in its j
bloom, and ever keep our souls refreshed j
with its heavenly fragrance.
The following ladles and gentlemen
compose the Committee of Belief:

Arrest of Robber*.
Yesterday morning, about seven o’clock,
Marshal Itobinson met policeman Me-
Eaehron in front of the Central Hotel,
when the latter told him that ho was
watching two negroes who bore a suspi
cious appearance. Marshal Robinson then
watched the two men until thoy went into
a jewelry store on Broad street, when lie
and McEaeliren went after them. They
soon came out and started down the street.
Mai*shal Robinson motioned to a police
man whom they were meeting to stop
them. The officer did not understand the
signal and stopped only one; the other
start/nl to run, when he was brought to a
halt by a very peremptory order. Police
man MeEachem told Robinson that he
had just read of the robbery of a store at
Forsyth, and that he suspected those two
negroes of being implicated in the affair.
Their behavior had been such as to arouse
his suspicions. Accordingly, these two
darkies were arrested. They gave their
names as Guy Cheney ami Sandy Nealy.
The latter is a particularly bail looking
negro. A Colt's revolver was taken from
his person.
The negroes were carried down to the
jail, and a telegram sent to the authorities
of Forsyth, describing them and asking if
there was any suspicion against them.
Meanwhile Guy Cheney confessed his
guilt to Marshal Ilubinson, Sandy remain
ing sullen. After some delay, a telegram
was received from Forsyth, requesting
the authorities here to keep these negroes
In safe confinement until a bench warrant
for their arrest should come, and stating
that officers would leave for Columbus on
the next train.
It appears that the storoof Mr. J. Dumas
was robbed in Forsyth, on the night of the
13th instant, of a very large quantity of
g kxls. It is pretty certain that these two
negroes are the guilty parties. Our po
licemen deserve especial credit for their
vigilance and skill in the capture of these
robbers. It Is supposed that the negroes
have not been in this city long, and it is
foil unate that they did not have an op
lM>rtimity to practice their rascality here.
If our officers continue to be so .vigilant
and successful in overtaking offenders
against the law, Columbus will soon be
the last place to which a villain will fly for
safety.

are putting up, known as Dr.BnulJu Id's
Female Regulator, and consider it the
best combination ever gotten together for
the diseases for which it is recommended.
I have been familiar with the preparation

that I consider it a boon to suffering fe
males, and can but hope that every lady

procure a bottle, and their sufferings may
not only be relieved, but that they may be
restored to health and strength.
With my kindest regards.

dozen Globe Flower Syrup in the last two weeks. ,
The Globe Flower Syrup is gaining great celebri- :

one side for two years; hemorrhages almost ev- i

He has taken six bottles of Globe Flower Syrup; !
his tronbles are all gone, except prostration, j
which is rapidly Improving. He will certainly j
get well. The other case is similar with same
good results. 1 can send you many testimonials
