A Eig Robbery In CharIeston. Charleston is very much stirred up over the systematic robbery of one of the largest wholesale houses on East Bay, and a Pin kerton detective who has been working up the case has just made his report. it is said that since the death of the se ior som six years ago the houise' has fallen behind between $100.;0 :md b1O00 but it was not until six moutis ago that the house su pectetd anything wro . A Pinketon_ de tective was sent for. S'oon after this a vyoung man was given em.ymlit in the store and gradually worked hinself up from porter, watchman, assistant shipping clerk. etc, remaning in each departnieit long cuough to become thorouhly acquainted with his fellow clerks The young man turned out to be a detective and about a week ago he returned to his emiplovers and made his report to the agency who sent it to the house. The r-port exposed the whole business and designated the gilty parties. The !!rm is now treating with te with a view to recovering a portion of the spoils. It is said that one of the clerks o salesmen, or whoever lie is (nobody seems to know who he is.) has offered $5,000 to get off. This enterprising youth, so the story goes, has managed in five or six years to accunuite a deposit of $10,000 in the city bank, and to do this on a salary of $75 per month.' There are said to be three or four others who have been equally success ful in -business, and-it is stated that the reason-the matter has been kept quiet is be cause the firm is endeavoring to compromise withits wealthy employees. This, it may be repeated, is simply a-summary of the thous and and one rumors that are flying about condensed and put into narrative form. Seurr.aa News. The RaIlroads and the Law. Prominent railroad men suggest a con vention of railroad representatives to agree upon a rise of 100 per cent. in through freight rates, with the anticipated effect of creatig a panic and bringing about the re peal of the inter-State commerce Act. Such an advance would pay the railroads very well unttl the commissioners brought them to books for vi, lating the fundamental requirement of the act, which is that the rates shall be "reasonable and just." An advance of 100 per cent. in rates at one time by all the railroads would look like a pool or conspiracy, and would have to be explained satisfactorily by reference to de tails. There is a penalty of $5,000 for each violation of the act. This penalty, together with the terrors of an investigation, will probably prevent any unnecessary advance of rates. The better policy for the rail roads is to accept the Act loyally and try to carry it out in good faith. They have long desired something to protect them from themselves, and they may yet find the inter State commerce Act the very thing they have wanted. It subjects them to the re stiaints of law, and must tend to substi tute-civilized methods for barbarous and predatory habits. There are some roads probably that never had a solid basis of business. But to roads that are really needed, quiet, steady and honest ways, such as the law requires, will in the end be ad -nitted to be better. Stockholders will un doubtedly fare better when railroad ofiicials lose their autocratic powers and wild-eat adventures have an end.-Baltimore Sun. Head ur ge r44,- erce. Officers of. high rank ~in the army are confident that no action will be taken in the matter of the appointment of a new chief signal officer for the present. It will be impossibleto accomplish anything in the way of '.trmfer of the signal bureau to the civi. service at this session of Con gress. It is the general impression that for this-reason the WVar Department will ase its'ienuine to postpone the appoinment of a niew hidf until after the next session of Congress. Captain Greely will be allowed to remain at the head of the corps untul the fate of the proposed changes is deninitely known. In case the transfer cannot be effected, it is not the opinion that Capt. Greely will be made chief signal officer. It is one oC the '-plums" of the service, and there is not a colonel of the line who would not willingly accept it. Gen. Hlazen held the rank of colonel -when he was ap -pointed, and it is not probable an officer of a lower rank could jump to a brigadier peneralship. Another question has arisen in tonnection with the temyporary appoint * mend -ECaptain Greely. The statutes have it that there shtdl be no temporary ap tments for a longer period than ten dys after the death, resignation or dismis .slofan official. There is somse difference of opinion as to the proper construction to be placoed on the statute. The second comptroller will take up this question when ten days have expired fronm the death of Gen. Hazen, and will probably render some decision on the dispute poimts. Las f the Sate. .
