TRE On10 DeMocerats.—In reference to the Tearons for the change of time for the assem- big of the Obio democratic state convention, the Columbus correspondent of the Cleveland Herald telegraphs: “One claim urged is that the voting op the new constitution should bo over with be‘ove the convention meets, to keep it cut of politic-; and another is that ‘the agri- cultural community would not be able to at- tend were it held iu Jaly. It appears, however, that there ls a division among the democrats bo are opp: sed to the new constitution. A part of them cliim that the demoeratie party in convention should prociaim against it, while others ciaim thst the best plan is to let it go be: fore the people without any party expression on the question, believing that should tae dem- ocrate procla'm against it it would only spar on the republicans in its favor.” Suicipe or a Lavy raom Domestic Taovnie.—In Wilmington, Del., early last week 4 respectably-dressed lady, well provided with money, appeared at a boarding-house and engaged lodging for the night, saying that she would go to t in the morning When morring came, however, she compiained of being unwell, and remained,on similar excuses, until Saturday, when, on being called for din- ner, she was dead in her room, having taken a dose of laudenum.

The correspondent of the New York Tribune sent the following dispatch to that paper last night concerning the recent safe burglary in this city: On the night of the 234 of April last, in. the midst of the investigation into District ‘affairs, A MOST MYSTERIOUS BUa@LARY occurred in the office of the Uuited States At- torney for this District. The safe which was robbed belonged to the United States, and was in the eftice of the Ag-istant District Attorney, Rickard Harrington, Jr., who is also Secretary O° the District and wus Oaeof the counsel for Gov. Shepherd in the investigation. From what at once became public it was once a rent that the burglary was connected with the investigation; that is. It was not committed for purposes of plander, bul tiat th eves were em ployed by other persons toterested in the in- quiry. The Joint Committee was therefore in- structed to inquire into the matter, and they tuok the testimony in private HARBINGTON’S TRSTIMONY. The firet witness examined was Harrington himself, whose verston of the effsit was stantially as follows: Oa the morning of the Gay of the burglary Harrington says that he received an anonymous letter bearing the stamp of the St. Nichoias Hotel, New York, novncing that bis safe was to be robbed on that night of the next; this letter he showed t» a rumber of persons, and in the evening to Cuiet of Police Kichards and Detective Clarvoe, with whom be made an arrangement to wate for the burglars. Harrington and Richards tirst took their station in an adjoining room, but, as several persons came there and found that tome one was there they finally went oat, crossed the street, and took their stations where they could see what transpired. Other detec. tives were stationed about the building. ‘wo men were plaiuly geen to enter the building close the door, open the windows and close the shotters, ard were heard at work on the safe. After several hours an explosion occurred, and subsequently the two men came out of the building, one of them carrying a bundle. All of those who were watching fullowed the man, who seemed not the least alarmed at see- ing them, and allowed the other man to eac ape. The burglar went in the direction of the bonve of Columbos Alexander; was directed to the street by some of the party who were feflowing bim. After ringing both the main and base ment door bells in vain, he was arrested by rhe police. He bad in the bag papers and books that had been taken from the sate. Harring’ on Genied that he ever suspected that Mr. Alex on der, the chief of the ‘memorialists, ever had anything to do with the affair, audsa'd that be never suggested his arrest. CHIEF OP POLICE RICHARDS told a very similar story. He taid one of th= thieves stood opposite the district attorn cihice wt the time those who were watching over there, ant that the thieves mu known that they were watched.

Haycs als) told Doreey and Downs as they testty that be was employed to open a evernment safe. Dorsey and Downs came to Vashington, accompanied by Carter, and in- formed Gov.

Governor Swann supposed that the pa- PETS that were to be taken related to tho San. orb case, from the { the Ways and Means Committee, who them @ vote to the President.

So the matter dropped. vessel) nl Ove Canine Engwigs.—Within the last few days a number of | oem have been bitten by Goge sappesed to be mad, and the mazziing question 1s naturally forced on pablic attention by theee unpleasant incidents. In one case two women bave been bitten and in angjher a woman and three children before the offending animal could be secured. These facts ought to be sufficient to decide even so ery friend of the canine tribe as Mr. Bergh to demand the general muzzling of dogs allowed to roam about the city. Before the heated term had come the Herald bad insisted on the adoption of precan- tionary measures, but owing to the waut of energy slown by the city authorities the order tur the muzzling of all dogs bas not yet b=en tesued. Before the order willbe iseued and it provisions carried out other victims may be acded to the list. The qnestion whether the convenience of the dog or the safety of the citi zen is to be consulted will certainly be daci ted against the dog. ~ Herald.
