It waa a trade, an occupation, it cost hardly leas than SI. 000,000 to set np a great newspaper In thia City, and some ot them represented more than that com. The return for thia vast Investment came through the advertising, whleh waa the life of all newpajera.

The sabsenn-tlon price paid for little more than the mere paper weed. Advertising, therefore, must bo cultivated and Invited. Here wa the inevitable danger. Ad-verttaemeata depended upon circulation, and all newspapers advertise their own circulation not alwaya truthtuDy it waa to ho feared. Tbe press waa never aeomsnander.

which waa on the calendar. Judge Motherland yielded the place on the bench to the Recorder, and the latter began the trial. On the first day little morn was done than to Impanel a jury.

For the tia.it five months he haa been much too slek to attend to tha business of the court, though he has made repeated efforts to do so.

His present absence from the bench is not due to h's own volition, but to the advice of his physktian who, it la aaid, haa directed him to abstain from any mental labor aa exhausting aa that which he is accat-tomed to perform while holding court. The Record er's associates on the beech hare generously ender v-ored, by continuous work, to supply his place, and bare held court without cessation, every term.

RAIDING 0 DISORDERLY HOUSES. COMPLAINTS MADE AGAINST CAPT. e7IL-LIAMS BY THE OFFICERS OF THE SOCIETY FOB THE PKEYEKTrOV OF CRIME. The descent mnde a few days on the disorderly houses N'os. 101.

107. and ,113 West Tbirty-sixth-street, by the Police, upon the complaint of the Society for tbe Prevention of Crime, promises to effect a permanent removal of the moral nuisance which has long been an injury to property in tbe neighborhood. Tbe owner of the raided property on Friday last received a notification from the District Attorney's office that his premises were being nsed tor Improper purposes, and atating that the objectionable tenant must be ejected nnder the penalty of the law, which holds property-owners, as well as agents, liable to imprisonment; for willful improper rental of property. If the premises raided are not vacated by Tuesday the society will intist noon the prosecution of the In peaking of the difficulty experienced by the society in securing Police action ia the removal of the nuisance, one of the Directors of the society, last evening, very severely commented upon what he termed Capt. Williams' culpable neglect to act in the matter.

The society had, he aaid, received no less than 15 complaints against thejdisorderly houses from propertr-owners representing many hundred thousands ot dollars. Complaints had previously been made to Capt. Williams by many neuchbortne residents, and also by 38r. Whitney, tbe airent of the oreiety; but all the complainant were turned awav. the Captain assuring them 'that be would be giad to oblige them 1 if he could, but tbat he could take no action unless they brought hlnf some evidence of the immoral character of the houses.

The precinct, the Director declared, eontnlned probably more gambling hells, disorderly houses, and low drinking saloons, than any other In the City. The slirhts to bo seen at various disreputable resorts in the pwcluct were much worse than the debauchery aud immorality of the lowest resorta of Pari. It was an outrage, he said, tbat such things should exist, and that citizens could only secure the abatement of nuisances by appealing to tbe Police ot other precincts to adopt the aezress-ire measurss which Capt. Williams should carry out himself. In both instances where raids had been lately made the society was obliged to appeal to Superintendent Walllag.

and indure him to detail special officers from the reserve squads, complaints to Capt. William haring proved utterly useless, so far a arousing that otneer to the fact of the existence of nuisances waa concerned. The Director expressed eurpriae hat. In view of the facts In the ease, where damaging proof could be brought against him, tne Police Com missioners insisted oa retaining Capt. Williams in hi present position or on tbe force, and intimated, further, that it waa also a puzzle to him why the Police Commissioners themselves were not cited to appear before the Mayor and explain the reason of Williams' retention.

It Is rumored that Mayor Cooper will be petitioned by reputable property-owners in the nenr future, to investigate the management of Capt. Williams' precinct, and also that a formal complaint will be entered against the Captain before the Police Commissioner for hi refusal to tnko notice of the complaint of reputable citizens against obJctlonable resorts.

The House, by the resolutions, asked information as to the number of policies surrendered since tbe 1st of January, 1 873, to date the came of the owners, and the amount paid and whether said value was paid in cash, or in premiums on new ioll- eiea, or in paid-up policies." At tbe expitation of the 10 day the reeelution was amended, and the company was required to famish the information for the period of lO years from 1868 to date.

From the 1 st or January, ist.M,to March, IS there were C.U)0 policies surrendered, -purchased, or lapsed.

From tf.e EotltttUr Erpreti, March 8. William Dunbar, a Baptist minister, wa, on Friday, detected In the theft of a Limoges vase from the store of Henry Wisuer dealers in china and crockery on State-street.

The story of his larcenies, both pet and grand, would be a long one. and It must suffice in this connection If only the larest narrative be given. It appears that on the 4th day ot Inst January a Limoges or Haviland Faience vase was missed from Winner's store. But few people hsd been in the store that morning, and suspicion pointed directly to Rev. Mr.

Dunbar. Much as the firm disliked to allow suspicion to rest on a minister, it was decided to watch him. Friday, Dunbar entered the same store again. When he left the tore it wa found that he had taken the mate to the vae they missed In January last. Although a close watch was kept ou him, he vas not seen to take anything, and it was with surprise that the vase was found to be gone.

A warrant for his arrest was sworn out bv the firm and placed in the bands of Detectives and Brown. They watched the man through the city, and watchers were put on him by other firms with whom he had been In the habit of dealing. Supposing that he would gather his parcels at the depot jut before train time, the detectives went there snd awaited his arrival. But before Dunbar went to the dep.t he stopped at Wisner and put a package In hit achel In full view of the sal smen. The vase was seen not to be in the sachel, and when the sachel was searched by the detectives in the station, it was found that the vase was not in it.

But the officers asked him what wa in a package he had In hit hand. A he turned and saw that he was caught he nearly fainted, and it was necessary to get him a chair to prevent his falling to the floor. The package was found to contain the vase. At first the thief declared hi innocence, saying that he bought it on the street for a dollar. The vase is worth $10 at wholesale.

The man was taken to the Police Station. There be admitted stealing the vases but said he didn't know of any reason why he should, and said he bad never taken anything else. He conversed quite freely at this point shed many tears, and seemed very repentant, it was decided to hold him in the sum of $500' bail to sppcar on Tuesday next for trial. H. A.

Ke-berling. one of the deacon of the church in Holley, of which Dunbar is Pastor, became surety, and the thief was allowed to go to his home. It wa decided, however, to send detectives to hi house In Holley and search it for other stolen good Accordingly, Detective Kavanagh. Mr. Marsh, from the store of H.

0. Wisner. and V. D. ljiey.

from Steele Avery 'a went to Holley last evening with the transgressing minister. The search made by the detective and the two agents waa rewarded, perhaps 9'JOO worth of stolen goods being found in tbe boue. There were $0O worth of books oe-longiug to Messrs. Steele Avery, of this city $25 worth and more of artistic earthen and china ware, from Wisner shoes, knives, brushes, rubbers. Ac, beside a large quantity of tuS belonging to Holiey merchants, which were identified by the owners.

The goods included every imaginable sort of small merchandise almost lead pencils, ao opera gitis. tape-measure, gloves. 4c Warrants for the culprit arrest were sworn out by A. Eddy, Justice of the Peace, and he was to be arraigned at the village bar of justice to-day. To-nignt th-i Sheriff ot Orleans County will bring bim to Rochester, and he will be further examined Mon- uay on me additional charge against him.

Nothing in Dunbar's past history would seem to indicate anything in the way of dishonesty. For 30 years he has been a minister of tbe Uaptist denomination, snd. has always preached with acceptation hi sermons and exhortations, it ia said, being noted for being especially sympathetic and loving. He preached some years ago In Penn Van. and just before cortlng to Holley he was a Pastor in Westfleld Chautauqua County.

He ha been three years in Holley, und haa borne an excellent reputation. His wife Is a lady of much more than ordinary attainments and abilities. The residence of this clerical thief was filled with elegant article of virtu, for it wa a feature of hi purloining that he took none but the most tasteful things. He has a moderate-sized library. It is claimed by his friends that hia illness ae hss not been perfectly well for some two or three years has unsettled his mind somewhat.

GEORGE D.rRFXTICE'S $25.000 EDITORIAL U'rom tin LouUviUt (Ky.) Pott, March 3. On the 25th ult. the particulars wore given In this paper as to the suppression of an article urging the secession of Kentucky, written at the beginning of the war by George D. Prentiee for the Louisville Jmirnot The editorial, had it been publiahed. would doubtless have added vaatlv to the magnitude of what is now known as the "lost for it is generally conceded that the Legislature, then In session, would have followed Mr.

Prentice lead, his influence at that eriais being at ita highest. It will be remembered that it waa stated that $25,000 had passed from a prominent secessionist to Mr. Prentice through the hands of Mr. William Calvert, clerk iu the Journal office, shortly before the article waa written that Mr. Calvert happened to read it on a proof-slip.

and calling in Mr. Paul R. Shipman, Mr. Prentice' associate editor, be was the instrument of its suppression, and possibly saved the Union. Since the publication referred to a iW reporter has seen a letter written by Paul Shipman, which confirms all said therein.

The letter ia of a late date, and waa written at Mr. Ship-man's borne, at Beverley. N. J. He states In substance that Mr.

Calvert was the cause of the suppression of the editorial that his attention was called to it by Mr. Calvert, and he peremptorily ordered the foreman of the Journal. Mr. Brlligan. to remove it from the forms.

The letter i signed i'aul R- Shipman." and the handwriting was recognized bv the reporter, who knows it well. It ba been stated by one who should know tbat Mr. Prentice ahipped the $25. OOO paid htm to Canada, and tnat about two afterward it was returned to him and he squandered it. Also, that the party who had the money called for ita return, when he discovered tbat Mr.

Prentiee had not publiahed the article, and that, the demand being refused, a disturbance occurred la the office. Mr. Calvert, in answer to a direct question, said the other day tbat be did not know tbe name of the party who furnished the money, tut that he was satisfied ia his own mind that it waa to secure the publication of the editorial in question.

Some of the oyster-lot owners on the south side have requested Assemblyman Carman to introduce a bill In the Legislature, and to use his influence toward having it passed. to authorize the formation of corporations in Suffolk County for promoting the plsnting. cultivation, taking np, and protection of oyster in said eounty." It is proposed to give any five or more persons engaged In the business of oyster planting the right to form a company which shall have the usual powers and privilege of a body corporate. Two change in the map of Suffolk County are proposed. One of them is a division of the Town of Brookhaven, the present population of which is 11,451, or greater than that of any other town in the State having no Incorporated village within its limits.

It extends from the Sound to the Atlantic Ocean, and people at tbe respective extreme find much inconvenience in attending meetings for town business. Tbe other change proposed Is the discontinuance of Shelter Island as a separate town, and its attachment to Soutnold. Its population is only 645, and from its peculiar situation the people find it convenient to do most of their trading at Greenport, with which it haa easy communication by ferry. The change would benefit tax-Payers, who now have to bear the expense of a separate town government. STATEX ISLAXD.
