WASHINGTON, D. ©., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1875. ; TWO CENTS. Fhe Districi 3-65 Eoads. THEIR ISSUE DISCONTINUED. The Board of Audit of the District of Co- Iumbia consisting of the Ist and 21 con- trollers of the U.S. Treasury have for the present discontinued the issue of what is known a+ the Congressional 365 per cent. bonds. In doing this the board do pot as- sume that they do not have authority to Issue these bonds tn excess of ten million dollars, but their reason for this action was broughtabout in this wise: It appears that when the District. Commissioners sucecadet the Board of Public Works, the latter left a< acies to the new government certain nn- shed contracts. The law contemplated that work under these contracts should be compieted by the District Commissioners and gave them the «uthority to prosecute it It is represented that in completing Work, the District Commisstoners have had additic work done not contemplated In tne al contracts. but provided for in what med extensions of existing contracts. The qvestion whien the Board of Audit con sidered was whether the law contemplated that new work should be prosecuted, under an old contract; in fact, whether the District Commissioners have authority to do work not previously contracted for by their prede- | cessor. Messrs. Brodhead and Taylor bave called on the District Commissioners for a statement of all work which has been done by them heretofore under the system of con- tract extensions. While awaiting this state- ment they have decided not to allow any ulditional bonds to be Issued. Dr. Brothead | is of opinion that to discharge the fall in- debteduess incurred on behalf of the District by these contracts and extended contracts SG far, the whole issne of the 3-65 bonds will | not exceed twelve million dollars. That is | te say, there has not bee ed more than | that amount.

The iabors of Mr. Moody in the quiet town of Northfield, Mass.,continue to excite the population and to attract the attention of the Unitarfan magnates. The Rev. Mr. San- derland the champion of the Unitarian falth apparently is disposed to damn the Evan- gelist with faint praise. Mr. Moody canaot shake the Unitarian Church, he believes. Indeed, accordi to te Rev. Mr. Sunder- jand, the chureh has received additions since the revival work commenced. Mr. Moody may do some good by making the though. leas thoughtful and the irreligious religious. At the same time Mr. Sunderland does not place much faith in the permanency of the good accomplished by the Moodys and San- keys, and fears that the ion” more than counterbalance the temporary beuerlts of such revivals.

The next morning a coat, hat and pair of shoes, which bave been identified as Mr. Pond’s, were found in the stateroom, and one of the berths bad been evidently occupied. His money and watch are missing. It is believed by members of his family that he has been foully dealt with. al : H. T. Helmbold is in the Blooming- dale Insane Asylum.

Jensry Dick TURPINS.—According to the experience of Mr. P. Vanderveer, a — farmer, residing in the vicinity of Westfield, Union county, the race of Dick Turpins is not ran out. A few nights ago he was pounced upon at a lonely point by three highwaymen and ordered to ** y up” under ‘il of his life. He was defenceless, and bi led overall he possessed, some $30. The villains then Jasbed his horse unmercifully and disap- peared in an opposite direction.—J. . ferald, 6th. BURGLARY In BALTIMORE.—The store of J. Edward Bird & Co., in Baltimore, was robbed bee f night of goods, the value of which is placed at about $2,500. The man- ner in which the burglary was committed is evidence that the criminals were profes- sional thieves, and that their work had been carefully planned and exeeuted. They have not yet been caught, nor has any of the prop- erty been recovered.

Itwill be remembered that about the time the Safe Burglary case was on tria’ ‘o- vember, I874—the case of Huff, charged with stealing a horse, was pending in the Sapreme Coort in General Term, Mr. W. A. Cook, his counsel, having, after challenging the array of the grand jury, carried his case to that court upon appeal. Tne Sapreme Court de- cided that grand jory by whom the in dictnents were found Was uol properly con tiuted, and of course the safe burglary ther indictments fell through. Kress xi once tonk steps to rectify the matter and by act of December 28th provided ebruary Ist, 1575, It should b- se “to be drawn by lot and im the proper number of persons n those Whose names are now deposited pike, clerk of the court in the general and jury summoned for the Decom of the Crimidal Coart had on un mecting of that court been discharged, but trials were proceeded with asusul.

A KILL WHICH DID NOT BECOME A LAW About this time, however, the Pacific Mail inquiry seemed to develop the fact that Wm 8. King bad. been guilty of false swearing and it therefore became tmportant that if he was to be indicted, an Indictment should be found In a few days. With this end in view. Mr. Dawes, of Mass., on February xth, 1-75, introduced @ bill, and it was passed House by a two-thirds vote. (pag: grestional Record.) The bill wi sent to the Senate, referred to the on the Judiciary, reported by Mr. with amendments, th, passed by a two thirds vote February (page 1,504, Congressional Record.)

A DARING AND FOOLtse Feat.—We la Sunday witnessed the ance of ada ing feat by Miss Mossholder,of Lebanoa, o. of the most exquisitely beautiful girls in this region. The faixe work for the new bridge across the Santiam is just in place, and rises some forty feet above ine water; on Lhe top of this false work is placed a single row of boards, reaching across the river trom pier to pier; and this young lady, on a banter, acta- ally walked Ubis single little track clear across the river and back again. Toe height was so great, the water so turoulent and the passage #0 narrow tbat it a-tual.y inedeour head swim to look at it, and te young lady marched across it as firmiy and confi- dently as If she had been wandering through some shady grec Jimson weed's ptalwart ar!

My idea is that the gov- ernment did, in its earlier Life, ran according to & sort of Christian common law, but now the number of Jews, Catholics and infidels has become #o greatly increased, the govern- ment has to base itseif squarely upon ite constitutional idea, thet all men are reli- giously equal. Even if the genius of the country taitted the teaching of the Bible in the schools, I should doubt the ‘propriety of continuing the custom, because no valu- able moral results can ever come from rea.!~ ing @ few verses hurriedly in a school-house, and social strifes will be continually spring- ing up out of the practice.” CHLOROFORMED AND OcTRAGED.—Tho dwelling of Mrs. Dora Wilkinson, « widow about thirty-five years of age, in Pawtuek- et, Rhode Isiand, was eo by unkuow2 on Tuesday night, ap- om bed.
