HEAVY ROBBERY OF STOCKS.
A Confidential Clerk Ran off vrlth Over
$100,000 Worth of Clold-Mtnlngr Stock
CertlAeatee-IIl Arrft Yesterday, after
a Sever Struggle.
On Wednesday, the 28th of November, ultimo,
Charles D. Caiy, chief book-keeper and confi
dential clerk of the firm ol Riker A Co., gold and
silver-mining stock broker?, at No. 80 Broadway,
asked permission to leave the city, for the pur
' pose of spending Thanksgiving Day with some of
his relatives and friends, a short distance in the
country; and, Inasmuch as be had generally
been very attentive to his busincs, and had
-with great apparent zeal at all times studied
tbe interest of bis employers, hrs request was
readily granted. On tbe Friday following, the
other clerks and members of the firm were
promptly on hand, and arrangements were
being made to transact business as best-they
mil tit without the assistance of the chief book
keeper; but the keys of tbe safe could nowhere
be louiid.
Cady had charge of the keys of the safe, and
the conclusion, under the circumstances was
that he had taken the keys with him when he
lelt on Wednesday evening, and that, as soon as
he thould discover he had the keys with him,
he would cut bis vacation short and retarn to
the oflire. Under this impression business wm
suspended durinc the entire day of Frid ly; bat
tbe Bnxiouslvexpected one did not return. All
hands beeame very uneasy; but tbey trailed
that the next morning would tlnd Gady at his
post, and matters satisfactorily arrnired. Satur
day morning arrived, but it did not bring with
it the mist-tog clerk. Noon came, but still ha
arrived not.
TBE ROBBERY DISCOVERED.
In sheer desperation, the services of the safe
maker were called into requisition, and with
great difliculty the safe door was blown open.
An examination of tbe contents of the bale
showed that certificates of mining stock and
bouds, amounting in all to over one hundred
thousand dollars, had been abstracted, and tbe
cause ot Mr. Cady'fc protracted absence was im
mediately divined. The members of the firm
and the clerks were thunder-truck by this
glaring proof of Cady s dishonesty, and a criti
cal examination ot the books and accounts
which he had had charge ot was instituted, and
resulted in the discovery of discrepancies and
evidences of peculations which Cady bad in
dulged in at different times for months past.
With theee damning proofs of the favorite clerk's
ipgratitude and dishonesty, Mr. Kiker called
upon Inspector Dilks and related to him ihe
facts in the case.
the detectives on tde track.
Tbe Inspector, seeing the importance of the
atfair, detailed Detective Officer Farley to "work
up the case," and this gentleman, after a careful
investigation into all the circumstances, laid his
plans lor the capture of Cady, and with what
success will readily be perceived. On inquiry
at the house in which Cady had been board'ntr,
Sir. Farley ascertained that his man had lelt,
there on the Wednesday evening in a coach, and
that in all probability he had gone to New
Brunswick, N. J., where he had been in the
habit of visiting a young woman, tie also
learned that Cady and the young womau re
ferred to had been in the habit of visiting
together a young lady in this city, but the most
diligent inquiry failed, tor the time being, to
reveal the whereabouts of the fugitives, although
it was strongly suspected (or certain reasons
that Cady and this "young woman bad gone in
tho direction of BoBton. Mr. Farley opened
communication with detectives in ditferent parts,
of the country, but all to no avail. Yesterday
morning Cady and his companion returned to
this city, and so well weie tbe plans-of the
officer laid that within a few hours of the arrival
of the pair their place of concealment in the
city was known to Mr. Furlcy, and he instantly
repaired to the establishment designated In his
information, aud succeeded in arresting Cady
alter
A DESFERATE RESISTANCE.
The establishment which the guilty parties
bad chosen as their temporary residence was
the Tontine Hotel, and an inquiry at the oliice
of the hotel satis tied Mr. Farley that the man
he wanted was In the house, registered as
Charles Giabam, and occupying room No. 23.
The officer was shown up to the room, and
knocked very gently at the door, which was
immediately opened by a young man, whom the
officer recognized as the man so earnestly
sought for. Mr. Farley asked if Mr. Craham
was in, and was informed that Mr. Grab an hid
left the city the previous- afternoon, but where
he had gone to, or whether ho would soon re
turn, the young man really could not tell.
During this colloquy, the yoacg man had been
lolding tbe door slightly ajar, but the officer, in
the mo.-t gen'eel manner possible, had managed
to glide by the occupant of the room, and belore
the latter could tlioioughly understand the
position, bad shut the door, locked it, aud put
the key in his pocket. The young man, who
was no other than the fugitive, with a good
show of indignation informed Mr. Farley that
he thought that vtas a decidedly cool operation,
and that for a stranger he was remarkably
familiar. He was informed that such was one
ot tbe characteristics ot the stranger, but
that, as he had called upon business, the
quicker It was settled the better it would be
for all parties. He was told by the officer that
he had been anxiously sought for, and was
wanted immediately at the "Marble Halls" No.
300 Mulberry street. The young man desired an
explanation. "Vou are Mr. Cady, I believe,"
remarked the officer. "Mr. Cady r Mr. Cady f
You are mistaken, sir," replied the young man
in apparent surprise. But this would not do;
he had the wrong roan to trifle with, and was
ordered peremptoilly to put on bis coat and hat
and accompanyhis visitor to the Central Police
Station. Mr. Farley showed bis shield, aud
urged on Mr. Cady the necessity of exercising
tbe utmost despatch. Mr. Cady finding that he
had no chance for escape, proceeded to don his
coat and hat very coolly and deliberately, the
officer meanwhile searching the drawer and
recesses in the room to a "sure himself that
nothing would be left behind that might subse
quently be wanted. When Cady put on his over
coat, Mr. Farley, seeing that the collar was awry,
assisted in adjusting it, and noticed while doing
so that Cady was fumbling rather nervously in
the side pocket of the coat. Suspecting that there
was something mischievous in the pocket, Mr.
Farley, with a strong sudden Jerk drew the
hand from the pocket, and discovered tbat Cady
bad been attempting to insert his tinners in a
villanous-looking set of iron knuckles, with
which he immediately struck at the officer in a
wicked manner, but the latter managed to avoid
the blows so generously tendered, and b? a well
directed blow with hU clenrhed fist knocked
tbe ruffian prostrate on the floor, and adminis
tered to him a sound drubbing, being obliged to
keep his knee on Cady's breast to hold him down.
Tbe other Inmates of the house, attracted by
Abe noise and confusion in the room, had asem
bled at the door and were clamoring for admis
sion, and the officer, thinking that he had autti- .
ciiitly chastised Cady, turned to unlock rite
door, but no sooner had he released him MiSn
Cady again flew at the officer, and received I or
so doing another "knockdown blow, where
upon he acknowledged himself vanqulshe 1, aod
urrendered. The state of affairs was e-jpUiuul
to the crowd at the room door, and the ottie
with his charge, repaired to I'olict Ireua
quarters. A LARGE AM0BNT OF FBOPERTT RECOVERED.
On arriving at the Central Office the prisoner
M searched, and in hie possession were found
the mfcting key, of tbe Baje, together .with
certificates of slock, money, and chocks,
amounting.to about a hundred and ten or fifteen
thousand dollars. Finding himself cornered,
Caiv stated that lie had arranged to dispose of
the stock in a few days and decamp to New
Orleans, but his plans were frustrated, as
above described. lie was locked up at head
quarters, and will be brought before the Justice
at the Tombs PoUne Court this morning for
trial. A. Y. Herald.

General Butler Receives tlie CertlAcato
of tils Election Robbery of a Fur
Store Closiug Exercises of tle Amcrl
can Church Missionary Society.
Boston, December !. A certificate of election
has been given to General B. F. Butler, as tho
representative to th m-xt Congress from the
Fitth Congressional District of this State. Some
doubts had been entertained as to General But
ler's eligibility, on the ground that he was not a
permanent resident of the district, having his
residence at Lowell, in another district, and a
summer cottage at Gloucester, which is in tho
Fifth District.
To test that question, William D. Northend,
the deteaied candidate, addressed a letter to his
Excellency Governor Bullock, In which he said
that General Butler never had been a resident
of the district within tbe meaningof tho statute.
The letter was submitted to Attorney-General
Reed, who has answered fully tho questions
propounded by Mr. Northend. In auswer to
the question as to what constitutes an inhabi
tant within tlie meaning of the statute which
prescribes the being an inhabitant of a dis
trict as a qualification tor a member of Con-e-rcss
from such district, the statutes of the
United States and of ibis Htate are quoted,
and the case of Harvard College vs. Gove,
w hich held tbat in order to be an inhabitant,
within the meaning ot the law, a person must be
a citizen ot the United States; also that every
person ehall be considered as an inhabitant for
tbe purpose of electing and being elected into
any office or place within this State in that
towD, district, or plantation wherein he dwelleth
or hath bis home. Secondly, the State law
requires that the Governor and Council shall
exntnine tbe returns of votes, and shall give cer
tificates ot election to such persons as snail ap
pear to be chosen members of Congress. The Gov
ernor's duty is uicrely ministerial, and be cannot
go behind th returns to inquire Into the quali
fications of such persons. All these questions
are to be determined by some other tribunal.
The Governor is not, therefore, the judge ot the
elections of members of Congress. The returns
in this case show that Gcueral B. F. Butler, of
Gloucester, received the largest number of
votes, and therelore he is entitled to a certificate
ff election, The decision gives general satis
faction, George N. Rowe, of tho Fourth Police, b
charged with breaking open aud entering the
fur store of Oliver N. Sage, Nos. 642 and
646 Washington btreet, on the 21th of Novem
ber, and robbing it of a large quantity ot furs.
Tbe matter was hushed up at the time, and he
was discharged from the force; however, in the
Municipal Court he was bound over to-day tor
trial. .
The trial of Frank W. Rounds for the murder
of Adolpu Prager, a few mouths since, on Wash
ington street, has been continued to February.
The closinar exercises of the American Church
Missionary Society to-day were unusually inte
resting, the whole subject of Missions and livan
gelicai knowledge beinsr fully discussed by the
Right Rev. gentlemen who were present from
New York, Philadelphia, and Delaware.
THE TRINITY CHURCH PROPERTY.
Action of Helm of Aucka Jane In Troy.
Troy, December 5. The heirs of Aneka Jans,
residing In this city, held a meeting last even
ing, and appointed a committee, consisting of
Judge E. F.'Bullard, John M. Bogardus, and
Sergeant Perry Bogardus, of the Capital Police,
to proceed to New York, and investigate the
claims ot said heirs to a portion of the estates of
Trinity Church.
There are quite a number of the descendants
of Aneka living in Troy, Including Mrs. Marion
Bogurdus, the widow of John L. Bogardus, a
great granilsou of tbe Rev. Everardus Bogar
dus, the husband of Aucka -Jans. John L.
Bogardus was of New York, and was a lawyer
of considerable promise in this city forty years
apo. He it a who Instituted the third suit
brought by the heirs of Aneka Jans to recover
their alleged property lichts of Trinity.
The widow, residing hero, has a receipt in the
handwriting of Daniel Web -ter, acknowledging
a returning tec ot 501100 from Mr. Bogardus,
securing Mr. Webster's professional services in
the suit in behalf of the beirs against Trinity,
The receipt is dated December 22, 1837. Mr.
Bogardus died in New York some twenty years
aco; but some years before that time had be
come a resident of Peoria, Illinois, where bis
remains were taken for iuterment.
The Rev. Everardus Bogardus, the husband
of I Aneka, was pastor of the Dutch Church in
New York in the latter part of the sixteenth
century. He was lost at sea, while on a busi
ness voyage to Holland. Soon after tbat event
his widow removed to Beaverwyck, no w Albany,
and died there. Her remains now rest beneath
the Hudson Street Dutch Church of this city.
Swindling Operation In Chicago.
Chicago, December 6. Jerome U. Ghamplin,
a prominent member of the Board of Trade ot
this city, who had always had the confidence of
the mercantile community, bought very heavily
on Tuesday last from various parties, and as au
equlvaleut gave checks endorsed by himself on
various banks in this city, payable on the follow
ing day. The valae of his signature was never
questioned for a moment, and thus he succeeded
in purchasing grain variously estimated at from
$20,000 to $40,000, but $30,000 will probably ap
proximate to the amount. When these checks
w ere presented yesterday they were, to the no
little astonishment of the holders, refused, aud
the parties were politely informed that Mr.
Cbampha, the endorser, had nothing to his
credit at their establishment. In the meantime
Mr. Champlin bad absconded. The heaviest
losers are raid to be Messrs. Munn, Norton &
Scott, grain merchants, of whom be purchased
large quantities of wheat. He also bought 2000
barrels of pork on option last month from Mr.
B. P. Hutchinson, payment on which fell due
yesterday,
Pork since this transaction has met with a
$1100. Tho above, however, are only a part of
this 6UCceesfuljswlniliuQtopcration.

New Orleans, December 6. Judge Heard, of
the Fourth District Court of New Orleans,
to-day overruled an application to transfer to
the United States Circuit Court suits brought in
his court against officers of the United btates
for acts done in their official capacity. The
application was made under an act of Congress
approved March 3, 18G3, amended May 11, 1800,
the provisions of which are as follows:
Tbe fifth section ot the act of 18G3 provides that if
ny mit or proaecutlon, civil or criminal, lias been
or shall be commenced in any State Court against
any officer, civil or mi'itary, or against other per
sons, lor any arrest or imprisonment made on other

These suits were ordered dismissed by Gene
ml Canby in April last, and are now renewed,
since General Ortfer No. 3, War Department, to
prevent improper suits against officers of tbe
Government in the insurrectionary States, was
annulled. Judge Campbell, late of the Unitod
States Supreme Bench, argued the unconstitu
tionality of the act. This is creating a profound
sensation in the city, and the court-room was.
densely crowded during the discussion.
Illness of Miss Dickinson.
We find the following in the Wisconsin Stale
Journal regarding the severe illDecS of Miss
Anna E. Dickinson, which has been briefly an
nounced by telegraph: "Miss Dickinson i3 con
fined with pneumonia at Rockford. The attack
was brought on by her being obliged, on the day
she lett Madison, to ride Irom Caledonia to Bel
videre, a distance of nine miles, in such a
vehicle that she was constantly expoed to a
dratt of that wolfish prairie blast, whch all will
remember, on Thanksgiving Day. Though far
from well on leaving here, and all tho while
growing worse, she persi ted in keeping her
next appointment, and so lectured in Belvldere.
Possibly she was the more scrupulous about it,
as, on the Monday previous, she had failed to
come to time in Rlpon. But Bhe had no sooner
arrived in Rockford, on the next afternoon, than
she was compelled to succumb, and has not
.since left ber bed.
"On Saturday her left lung was congested and
acutely painful, nor was she able to raise her
left arm. . Her face was flushed with fever, aud
her hands felt feveiish. And, to one who had
so recently heard ber voice ringing through our
City Hall, it was most pitiable to see ber whis
pering, as unable to utter a word aloud. Yet
she seemed to think less of herself than of the
disappointment of those who had come from
far, in bad weather and ways, to hear her.
Though among straneers she has found a home,
and id nursed bv a Quaker matron not unknown
to her on former visits.'

fested as to the fate of the prisoner under sen
tence of death. Lynch appears in excellent
spirits, and says that if he has to die he can do
so like a man.
He appears, however, to be of opinion that

The Rev. Mr. McMahon devotes most of his
time to religious exercises, and it Is said he is

qaite despondent, and uTalntains that he was
innocent of any guilty intention in coming to

other condemned prisoners bear their sentence
with much resignation, although it is evident
that they do not think their executions will be

Te Adoption of the Constitutional
Amendment Recommended
By the Aeie York Auociated Prets.
Mobile, December 6. A special despatch to
the Advertiser and Register, from Montgomery,
dated to-day, says:
The Governor sent a message to both Houses
of the Legislature to day, stating that events of
the most vital character are now transpiring
with reference to our relations In the Union,
and he expresses the apprehension that the sta
bility of our affairs may be suddenly broken up.
The radicals are determined at all hazards to
enforce their terms of restoration, and threaten
to reverse our progress towards tranquillity.
The cardinal priucipleof leetoration seems to
be favorable action on the Constitutional
amendment. He thinks its ratification neces
sary, and suggests that our full rcotoration may
follow.
The Senate referred the message to the Com
mittee on Federal Relations, but the House
adjourned pending its consideration.
The contents of the message caused much ex
citement, as the majority of both Houses are
opposed to ratification.
Judge Bustced has decided that payments of
debts in Confederate money are void.

Washington, December S. The t'olljwing
special uespatch has b"en received from your
correspondent, dated Montgomery, Ala , Decem
ber 6:
In a special message to-day Governor Patton
recommends the passage of the Constitutional
amendment by tne Legislature. He says thct
events now transpiring bear with peculiar torcc
upon Alabama and its relations to the Union.
To these events we cannot be indiiioreut. rtiejr
are of bo vitul a cbinvctur tliaf. we should give
them calm and del beiate consideration. As
the Chief Executive of the State, he
deems it his duty to express his appre
hension lest the stability of affairs be sud
denly bioken up. Theiu is an unmistakable
purpose among toose who coutiol Congresi to
enlorce, at all hazard!', their own terms of
restoration. The measures they propose will
reverse the present progress towards the estab
lishment of perfect ttuntiiiillity, and augment tho
distress which now exists, and inaugurate a
contusion the end of which no human prescience
can foresee. To-day the cardinal principle of
restoration seems to be the favorable action on
the Constitutional amendment. Upon the merits
ol the amendment his views arc already kno.vn,
and are founded oh principle. The nocoaal
ties of the case, I am now constrained to
think, are different. We should look our con
dition lull in th face, I therefore recommend
anew to your consideration this measure
in the light in which it now presents Itself, or
such other mea-ureas your wisdom may suggest.
Should you see proper to ratl'y the same, and
lull restoration follow, we may trust to time
and the influence of our repre4entatives to miti
gate its harshness. If. on the other hand, ad
mission is delayed, the warning to our sister
States may be relied upon to prevent that con
currence on their part which aloue can give tbe
measure practical effect. Having done all, we
may then commit our cause to a iust God.
The Message was then referred in boih Houses
to the Committee on Federal Relations.
