Some person or persons entered the office'of 1u1 NEWs on Saturday Iast and took therefrom Seventy cents, in nil. ver.' Though the amount is small, yet the principle is the same.. "He *ho steala my purse, steals trash-" tlays SnA&aSPEAnt, but the fellow who cab baged -our money, took that with *rhichi w6 intended to batter ourself. Surely he who would steal from an editor, would do anything 'mean. He has no soul. We copy the following from the Washington Claronide :of the 28th May: "VISIT TO THE PRESIDENT BYSoUTH.

Com edto gPpo a %bv Ahes. ho2ld ki hriia'tioni *ith' e-tionls which were to determine the future of fho eburi, it'iebut natural there should be a groat anxiety in the mind of the public for the decision.

Was their submission of a charater to, necessitate - holding ,thm under military.,rule,.or.. would the dis. cipline of the civil law be sufficient.to reeet all requiremeita,. werp questions to be decided.

To. decide the nice point where the line should be drawn beteen the, reqtuirements of justice on the one hand, and conciliation on *the other, wa no .asy task. In following the cqnstitutioon na, tIe char, these problems are, however, solved. Thus in the question of negro suffrgge, while the politicians "were taking gides and Chief Justico Chase preparing to com. ninci v a stumping tour on the sibjeAt, it 'is said the President .pushed it ,rom his table, .declarinig-it too early to con Rider - that question, .

'The adoption of apolicy to encourage and aid the people in the Sumther'n States to resume their proper rehitions with the national government, would appear to be the natural -sqiuel to this.
