From the IVumllle (ia ) Herald, July 20.
the police and the detectives have at last been
pat tuiliy successful, and the BuuntuKboir rob
cciy, which created eucta aa excitement in this
vicinity tost January, is in a fair way to bo
luvenUgatcd by the Courts, three persons havlug
been arreted who are known to have beca con
nected with it altuost beyond a doubt. The cluo
to the tobbery was obtained within a few days
alter it occurred, and on Saturday last three
mm Implicated in the lobbt ry, named Louis
Weldly, George Miller, and Jane sUoppord, were
arretted. On Monday they were conveyed to
Franklin and lodged in jail. Weldly aud Shop
pord were secured by the olliccrs at Akron, Onto,
and Miller at Sieeertown. Crawiord county, four
are yet at laree ot the five principal actors in
the affair, anil two or three parties who are sus
pected of having aided them. The following
particulars of what happened from the time of
the robbery to the arrest of the above-named
pertles are Irotn person acquainted with the
woi king "I" ot the ra-e. During a few days pre
iou to the robbery, J ni Sicaer, ot Sicgerlown,
Crawford county, was heard bracking at Mead
Ille and Siccertown ot a speculation that he
was poing into that protnicu to yield the green
backs larecly. Besides hieper, there were two
or three other patties at or near Sicgettown.
among whom was Weldly, who prorated
their friends that they would bo
flush In a day or two, and saying at the
same time with a very mysterious air that they
bad a big epeculation ou bund. Of course,
afer the particulars of the robbery became
known, and these parties were noticed to bo
unusually well supplied with fuudu, suspicion
was aroused, and a watch was set on their
movement. Biccer, Weldly, Miller, and Shop
porci were in Bsvrertown during the next two or
three days atter the robbery, spending money
ouite fre- ly, and having a good time generally.
Oi the third day Sirger disappeared with 8h p
pord, but after being away some days they
eei arated, the latter eoing to St. Louis and the
former to parti unknown. Shoppord spread
around St. Louis lor about a week, spending
allbut?800 of his portion of the lienmnghotf
fund. The 5800 was in his trunk, and one niuht
the hotel at which he stopped was destroyed by
lire, with the trunk and the $800. Alter this
loff- he returned to his old haunts.
Wi ldly staid at Sieaertowu tor a week or two,
Oflei nig to loau anybody or everybody sums of
money. He then went to Akron, Ohio, where
he purchased a dUtillery, a tarm, and a hotel
Bite, meanwhile disbursing money quite lavishly
and living in a very com'ortable style. He
atayed at Akron most of the time, and was, it is
said, having a good time in his distillery with
ecme boon companions, when the officer ap
peared with the warrant for his arrest. Miller,
it appears, was, unlike the others, content to
pet rid ot his money nearer home, and staved
for the greater part of i he time in and around
Meadville and Siegertown.
Alter being arrested, Weldly and Shoppord
pariially ngreed, it is reported, to turn Stale's
eviderce. and the following details of the plans
for the consummation of the robbery have been
partially obtained from them bv detectives and
other peri-ons interested: From all that can be
l-amed, Jim f-a'ger was the originator and prin
cipal in the affair, aud Weldly was the drat
assistant, lhese two were observed a number
of tiruep during last tall, talking at Sie.gcrtowu
with one of John BtuninarhoU'd hired men. Jt
is surmised that they obtained rroui the nireu
man such Information rceardlng the situation
of the Benninghoff residence, the amount of
monev that was kept in it, etc., that it
induced them to form, a gang and attempt
the robbery. However this may be, cer
tain it is that in November or December
lat-t they broached the subject to Miller
and J-hoppord, who agreed to take part in the
enterprise with tneui. A da!e was fisd at
which the attempt was to be made, but about
that time the two last mentioned backed out.
Birger and Weldly were, it seems, determiued to
have the haudliDg ot the Benuiughoff bonds aud
preerbacke, notwithstanding the withdrawal of
their confederates. Afer some consultation
among themselves they thought it expedient to
secure the assistance of a professional band or
two, and to this e;;d they s'arted for Philadel
phia. Arriving at this place they ingratiated
themselves among the roughs, and were not
loi g m finding toui skilled housebreakers, who
agrteo to cneae in the BenuniL'hotl speculation.
A rew programme was arranged, aud Sieger,
Weldlv , and three of the proies-iouals started
for the scene of operHtious, leaving the fourth
professional in Philadelphia, on account of some
dieaeieement having taken place among them.
How the Benniugh' tf family were secured, and
how John BeitUinghoff wa bru'ally beaten, the
two hired men thoroughly Iriuhtened, and the
$250,000 or 260,000 in hor.ds, Greenbacks, aud
specie cairied oil', are mailers that our rader
are well acquainted with. Afier the robbery a
division of the spoils was made, Swger getting
the lion's share Weldly was forced to be con
tent wih soniethinor like $25,000 or $30,000. To
Miller and Shoppord it is thought Sieger gave
$1300 each as bush money.
As soon as the division was made two of the
proleetiionuls started for Canada, aud tho third
made for Ni'w York. Within a weetc or two
after the Tobbetv, the man who had been con
sulted in Philadelphia and who had been left
there, laid what he knew before tho police. A
clue o' the profi e-iouals who had started for
Canada Mas obuiined by this man, and he in
company with a dc'ociive Btnrted after them.
Atter some search they were found in Mon
treal, where, while attempting to arrest
them, one of them fired at and wounded a
policeman. They were both arrested, how
ever, and lockeJ up, but subsequently one of
them whb released through some technicality
of the law and osraned, whilo the other was
held ou a charge ol attempting to kill the police
man whom he had wounded. A requisition
was obtained a few days since tor tho surrender
ot the latter to the United States authorities,
but it has not transpired whether he t9 still h -Id
at Montreal or not. The whereabouts ot Saiger
and the three pro'cxsionals is known only to
the detectives and the parlies mast interested.
The three men who were arretted fxud confined
in jail at Kriitiklln, were up for examination
yesterday, but it was postponed until Saturday
next upon the request o' the prosecution.

We learn from the New Haven Journal that
Captain William Wilt-hire t.lark died at his

Uf Hon. Joshua Hill aud Dr. H. V. Miller,
who were elected oo Wednesday by tho Georgia
Leglslatuie to the United States Senate, the
Washington Intel' igtncer says:
Mr. Hill was for several terms a member of
Congress Irom Georgia, and refused to withdraw
with bis colleagues In 1801. He remained a
consistent adherent ol the Federal Government
during the late war; was in favor of the Con
gressional plan ot reconstruction, but voted for
Gmeral John B. Gordon for Governor, the Dem
ocratic nominee, who was defeated by the radical
carpet-bagger, It. B. Bullock. Mr. Hill is about
flity five years ot age, of tine personal appear
ance, and very clever abilities, lie has ever been
a staunch old line Whig. Dr. Homer Virgil
Mdler Is likewise au old line Whig, was a
warm advocate of the election of John C. Breck
inridge, was surgeon of the celebrated Eighth
Georgia regiment, wa6 a member of tho late
Beconsttnciton Convention of Georgia, aud,
like his colleague, Mr. Hill, supported General
Gordon lor Governor. Dr. Miller is a gentle
man of varied accomplishments, aud is one ot
the most accomplished orators ol the South.
Dr. Miller is about fifty years of age. Both of
the newly-electcd Senators are natives of
fouth Carolina, and have been residents of
Georgia from boyhood."
In this coDurctiou the following correspond

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
thus describes the Democratic State Convention
at Ailantn. Ga.. on the 24th Inst.:
"I have witnessed ninny Democratic demon
strations both during and since the war, but
never one that made a deeper impression ou my
nima tnan me one in mis city yesieruay. More
than ever am I convinced that the essential fea
tures of Democracy are the same everywhere;
that it is an organization utterly mimical
to the best intciests of the country; that its
triumph in the coming election would result
inevitably in a renewal of bloodshed and war;
that even it the verdict of the people Is against
it. it does not intend to submit: aud tbatonlv
by a Republican victory, overwhelming in its
dimensions, can tne couutry, ana especially me
South, bo saved from further desolaiion aud
ftrile. It was the largest political meeting I
have seen in the South. The multitudes were
tilled with ttcbel enthusiasm and beat. Moat of
them no doubt imagined they had given a death
blow to the Republican cause. Strange as it
may sound, however, the great crowd present
at the meeting secured its failure as a political
cfloit, tor it encouraged the speakers to make
assertions so extravagant, aud to indulore
in lauguage so violent, intemperate, and
unwise in snort, it encourasca incm to
so complete a revelation oi tueir real
objects and designs, that every Republican
who listened was doubly continued In his taith;
every doubter was won over to the rurht side,
and manv who bad hitherto unhesitatiunlv fol

Reviewing General Meade's course as Military
Comnander, the Atlanta (Ga.) Era says:
In spite ot complications at a embarrassments
that contronted every step torwaid these ollicers
have discharged their duty in a wise, liberal,
tun, line, and kind manner. AO man can say
to. day that he was wantonly oppressed, that he
has fullered outrage at the hands of the military
authorities. The othcers, trora General Meade
down, have done no more than was imperatively
demanded of them, for they were acting
under orders that were as irre
vocable as the "laws of the Medes
and Persians." They were not resDonsible for
their duties, but were responsible for the man
ner in which they dischnred them. Hence
there was nothing loft lor their guidance but
the plain letter ot the law, which admitted of
but one construction, and prescribed but one
method for ita execution. We have had inter
course with most if not all the ollicers who have
beer ou duty here since the formation of the
niilitur.v district, and have hud some opportu
nitr to dif-cover their leelmirs towards the South
ern people. We have found nothing but a kind,
sympathetic scntiiiieiit, and uti earnest desire to
have the State and all the Southern States re
stored to the Uuion.
HENDRICKS.
Vltwt of the Iadlwaa Sawator u th
1'hidi of the lloBds
Senator Hendricks iu his speech at the recep
tiou tendered him in Indianapolis, Indiana, on
bis return (rom Washington ou Tuesoay, devoted
considerable attention to the question of paying
the bonds, in the course ot his remarks saying:
"It is said that it is unjut to pay these bon Is
otherwibe than in coin. I am not able to per
ceive that it Is so. The bonds were bought from
the tiovcrument when tho Treasury notes were
much more depreciated than now. Undoubt
edly there were hard cases under th Legal
tender act. 1 recollect one case that appeared
to to uie. I may not be accurate inthc amounts,
but nearly so. One citizen haviug cold, $10,
000, during the fmt year of the war, aud belortj
the rite ol gold, or rather the full la paper,
loaned It to his neighbor at seven percent.
That neighbor was abi to pay tho interest and
hold the gold. He did so until after the passase
ot the LegaV-lender law, and nnlil gold went up
to f250. He then sold the gld for
$25,000 lecal tender notes. With $10,000 of
the notes he paid the note given for the. gold,
and with the remaining $15,000 he bouitht
fifteen of the Five-twenty bonds of $1000 each,
upon which be has since received his interest In
gold every six months. What bocame of the
other gentleman who was compelled lo take
Ea er worth about $lu()0 I cannot tell. Perhaps
e became a Quartermaster, or sought some
other eminently loyal position, hoping to re
trieve his fortunes; but I havp been entirely un
able to excite a throbbiutt sympathy for tho
pentlcman who holds the $15,000 in bonds. I
cannot say that financially he has doue badly,
and in the little question between htm ami the
tax payer, I cautiot go with Governor Morion
and his followers, sud bold that we shall go
beyond the contract and pay his bon Is in gold.
This large class ot bonds being payable In
twenty years In Treasury notes, they are now
many of tbem redeemable in the same. Then
we may at once commence the payment
of our debt by the lsue of Treasury
notes, and thus stop the payment of
gold inlcrest, and also increase our currency,
and thus stimulate commerce, enterprise, and
labor, and in connection with a wle policy
towards Southern States, and the development
of their resources, restore prosperity to tho
whole country. I would not be understood as
being in favor of an Increase of the currency
without limit. The danuers aud evils of an
unrestricted issue of paper money cannot bo too
carefully avoided. Temptations In that direc
tion are great, and must be resisted by wisdom
and prudence. No one more than myself rcrreia
the necessity of a resort to paoer currency, but
It results from necessities of our condition. The
issues must be limited to tho demands of busi
ness and the wants of the people in meeting th?
enormous levies for national, State, county, and
city purposes1
POLITICAL.
General Grant foresaw, early in tho war,
that the suppression ot the Rebellion would be
the death ot slavery. It was t ie consciousoo-ts
ol the same certaiuty that made President Lin
col a reluctant to anticipate the event by procla
mation. These senttnees from General Grant's
Vicksburg letter of August, 18G2, cannot bo
made too lamiliar, in illustration ot bis sound
ness upon the vital question of our recnt aud
present politics. Wuat Vice President Stephens
acknowledges as the corner-stone of tho Con
federacy is already knocked out. Slavery is
already dead, aud cannot bo resurrected. It
would take a sianding army to matntaiu slavery
iu the South if we were to mke peace to-day,
guaranteeing to the South all their tormer pri
vileges. I never was au abolitionist not eveu
what could be called anti-rlavcry but I try to
judge lalrly and honestly, and it became patent
to my mind early in the Rebellion that the
North and South could never live in peace with
each other except as one nation, and that with
out slavery. As anxious as I am to see peace
established, I would not tbereiore be willing to
see sny settlement until this question is settled.
The Democrats growl because tbeir teach
ings and the practices of their Southern
brethren make It necespary to spend $11,000,000"
a month to preserve order and enforce the laws.
They charge it to Republics extravngauce,
snd want to have the army abolished. Line the
nieht-prowler, they don t like the big bull-dog
loose In the yard.
In reply to a question of the Albany Argus
how the fifteen hundred million of doll'tis
raised by taxation during the last three years
has been expended, the Albany Evening Journal
says: It was expended tor poder aud ball, . for
cannon, shot, aud shell, tor vessels aud tort id
cations, for arms and equipment, to put down a
Democratic rebellion.
Supporters ot Grant Sherman, Sheridan,
Thomas, Meade. Farragut, and eight out ol ten
other loyal oflicers and men who fought under
the Stars and Stripes under the Rebellion. Sup
porters ot Seymour Beaureeard, Kotrest,
Hampton, Semmes, Toombs, and nine-tenths oft
the Rebels whofouebt under the Stars aud B-irs.
This tact needs no comment.
From our Southern exchanees we learn tha
the campaign there is to be conducted upon the
Blair platform exclusively. "Let us have war,"
says Blair. "We will," says the South. "We
will," says the Democracy. "Another war will
wipe out the national debt and the Republican
party. Therefore, let us have war."
A Boston letter says:"! hear that Blair's
revolutionary letter, written as a bid to the
Rebels lor the nomination of the Vice-Presidency,
has created a muss among some of the
Democrats here, but matters are now being
gradually adjusted to tho satisfaction of all
concerned.
The Shelbyville (Teun.) Union nominates
Ardrew Johnson for Governor ot Tenuesjee,
and the Nashville Gazelle endorses the nomina
tion. The election will not be held until
Aumist, 18G9, and the Union says It Is certain
that Mr. Johnson would accept tho portion.
The Providence Journal, In an article on
the Blalrs," says: "Wo oppose Frauk not for
the good he has done, but lor the evil he has
rroniUed to do, and which bo is capable of
doing, and has shown a disposition to accom
plish." The Wheeling Intelligencer, speaking of
Thurman's speech In the Conventiou tnere.
says: "Ihurman asked his friends what they
should do with the radical soldiers when they
(the Democrats) got into power;" and the Rebul
crowd cried out "Hang 'em I hang 'em 1"
The Democracy of ten or twelve States have
been absent from the party councils for four or
five years; but nothing has been done during
their abteoce that they onject to. "Tho' lost to
sight, to memory dear," there has been a "light
m the wiudow" for them all the while.
The New Orleans Times virtually admits
that Frank Blait's letter Is revolutionary, but
attempts to justify it on the ground that some-
nody oeionemg to tne ltepuoncan party has
done wrong also. Two wrongs do not make a
right.
The Legislature ol South Carolina Is com
posed as follows:- Senate White, 21; colored,
V; trial, 33. House of Representatives White,
48; colored, 76; total, 124. There are seven
Democrats in tho Senate and fourteen In tho
House.
The Ch'csgo Times, the orean of the Demo
cracy of that c.ltv, declares for war with Frank
Blair. It says "the reconstruction infamy must
be wiped out," ut any cost and by any means
possible.
The TTordsavs that the rule of the Demo
cratic party in the coming campaign must be
"attack, attack, attack." We greatly suspect
lhat iu the early weeks of nxt November this
will prove an attack ot paralysis.

A great reaction is taking place here in

COLFAX.
Hie Western Tonr-arand (leeeptlem In
Ma.naA.ld, Onlo.
The Hon. Schuyler Colfax arrived In Mans
field. Uhu, on the evening of the 28 h Instant.
His journey to Mausdeld was one long ovation;
not a town or station aloug the line of roatc
omitted to turn out and give the heartiest ex
pression to sediments of esteem and admiration
for the fuinre Vice-Presl lent. The depots were
decorated, and nothing forgotten that could aud
to i he heartiness of the welcome. At dalom, the
entire population was in attend iuco upon his
arrival. His appearance everywhere was
the signal for tae most, deafening cheers. Mr,
Colfax made a short address, which was 1 stoned
to with the deepest attention, and tho seutl
ments contained therein applauded to the echo.
As the train moved Irom the depot, tho shouts
of the concourse and the stiaius of mulc left a
pleasant souvenir m the mind of the recoolent
ot the honor, it Alliance, also, the greeting
was no less vltrorous and sincere. Althougrt
Mr. Colfax deel tied to speak here, owinjto
want of time, Coueressuien Walser and Law
reuce of Ohio, and General Washburn of Indi
ana, addressed the laree crowd, by whom they
were well received. Man-Ueld was reached oy
Mr. CoPax, in company with bis mother and sis
ter.at 9-28 in the eveniue. The Grant CI ab.hea led
by a band or music, tocether with a largu num
ber of ci'lzens, were anxiously expecting the
coming of the train, and directly the enthu
siasm had abittcd sufficiently t) allow of a pro
cession being formed, escorted the "welcome
puiet'Mo the Wiler House. The cheerm and
excitement ot the citiz-;us of Mansfield is almost
beyond deccrlption. The entire street in which
'he Wiler House is situate was completely tilled
by an enorn ohs assemblage. As soon as he
was oie to release him-eirtrom from the over
powering attentions of h s lrlends within the
hotel, Mr. Collax appeared upou the balcony,
and a hen quiet was sufficiently restored to per
mit of oratory belnff audiffle, Judge W. W.
Worden welcomed him in an appropriate
address.
Mr. Colfax responded by saying that he
heartily and cordially thanked the citizens ol
Mansfield for their welcome to him on this occa
sion. As he had endeavored to travel vyitn as
little publicity as possible, he was surprised to
receive such a reception, not supposing that his
arrival would be kuon to any but the gentle
man under whose roof he expected to pass the
night. He said that, occupying the posit. on he
did at present, they would perceive that It
would be improper for Lioi to niasc a speech,
much as bo should like to talk to Hie in abiut
the political Issues of tho day. Ho had tho
kindliest recollections of MaDstieid, from former
visits, and with them remembered the friend
ship existing between the Hon. Joliu
Sbirroiin and himself, and which, atier a lapse
ot twtnty years, he was glad to say was stronger
than ever. He proci eded to eulogize General
Sherman, and said that Mansfield should be
proud of having furuisiied such a man to the
nation. Mr. Col'ax also paid a high compliment
to the Hon. John Bcatty, Congressman from
this District, with whom ho had been ou terms
of intimate friendship in the House, ana that
no man stood higher in that body for energy,
inflexible honesty, and willinguess to work than
General Beatty.
In regard to the political Issues involvel In
the present campaign, he could oniy say that,
iu the words of the great captain of tho aee,
General Grant, "Let us have peace." He
knew that the large crowd before him were
with bltn in this desire, aud he believed that
this could only be accomplished by the success
of the party which bad heeu true to the nation
through the dark hour of the country's trial, aud
which was the nation's hope in time of peace.
He, with them, was proud to belong to this
great Republican party, and if the people, ho
felt sure they would, rati tied the nominations
mi4 oi Cbinoan. ha hfipoil an.l ImIiov-A
the country would have noc iuse to regret the
choice. But whatever trie result may bo, tho
principles for which the nation fought were
dear to bim as the apple of his eye, and should
ever be the polar star ot his political action.
Mr. Colfax eloquently referred to tbe gallant
deeds of the Union army, the devotion of prin
ciple and tbe unselfish patriotism displayed by
our soluiers throughout the contest, and con
cluded by again kindly and hexrtily thanking
the vast audience for this manifestation ot con
fidence and esteem.
Thrte rousing cheers were then given for'
Grant and Collax, and the meeting adjourned.
Hundreds of our citizens atie war Js visited the
pjrlor ot the Witer House, for the purpose of
greeting the next Vice-President of the United
states.
