escape. The county olllclals at once set to work
to ferret out the robbers. A large reward was
offered for their detection; detectives wero em
ployed, and iu the vain effort to bring them to
justice about V'JO.OOO wus spent. But no clue
could be found; they had covered up their tracks
too well, and for nearlv ten years tho matter
remained a mystery. But about one year ago
a suit for borrowed money waa brought against
Ketehum, the ex-Treasurer, by James Brown, one
of the leading citizens of that county, a man
reputed to be worth over a hundred thousand
dollars, and this led to the exposure of tho wholo
matter connected with tho robbery. Ketehum at
once Biade a clean breast of it. The plot to rob
the safe was concocted between himself and
Brown. After they had secured the motjey
Brow n, in order to disarm suspicion, bottud uud
gagged Ketehum, aud left him in tho condition
in which he was found In the ortice on the night
of the robbery. Brown was Immediately arrested.
He applied for a chauge of venue, und the trial
wus transferred to Licking county. At Newark
last week the trial was concluded; he wus con
victed and sentenced to ten years in the peni-
leuuary ana to puy a line ot
The Mexican Mission.
There seems to bo no longer any doubt that
General Sickles will be nominated for the Mcxi
i'iw. nmiiilnimi'iit bus already been
tendered to and accepted by him. Under a mts-
apprehension as to tne ainouunji
to the portion, he hcsiuitcd for some time whe
ther to accept or decline tlui appointment, sup
posing the pay to be only fcttOOO per year, in gold.
The mistake was occasioned by an error In the
Blue Book, which sets down tho pay of that post
at 0OOO, upon which stipend tho General feared
he would be unable to get along decently, ft
appears that the correct tlgure is 1H,500 per an
num, and that since General Sickles has made
this discovery be no longer hesitates to accept.

THE NEW FOREIGN MINISTERS.
Hon. John I-othrop foloy,
whom President Grant has just nominated to the
Senate a onr Minister o Great Britain, to Buryeod
"a party by the name of Johnson," waft born at Dor
chester, Mass., on the 16th of April, 1814, and irradu
atro at Harvard University In ltt. His labors from
earlj manhood have been devoted to beUex-Uttrt.
After coutrltmtUiK to varioos sUndard perlodlcala, h-J
determined to apply himself to tho history of Hol
land, and after six years of hard study he produced
his irreat work on "Th Rise of the Dutch Repub
lic," and published It In 15 in London. It poased
through many editions, and wai translated into tho
Dutch and French, with a preface by tha (treat Vou
Brink, the Dutch philosopher, and by Qulzot,
the French philosopher. It sale was enormous
In thlfl and other countries, and It soon suiwr
seded all other authorities on that oubject
This great work was followed, In iw, by another
on "The United Netherlands,'' which became equally
popular as a standard book. These frreat literary
triumphs jfave him such a position that, ho wa
elected a member of nearly all tho learned societies
In Europe. One of tho tlrst acts of President Lincoln
was to appoint Mr. Motley American Minister to the
court of Austria, a position in which he attained an
enviable reputation as a thorough and accomplished
dlplcmatlst. It was while residing at the Austrian
Court that he completed his second Rreat work on
the United Netherlands; and Just as he had collected
the materials to beirin his "History of the Heven
Years' War in tho Netherlands, " McCrachen turned
op as an eavesdropper, and poured such
scandalous gossip into the ears of Mr.
Seward, that that functionary directed
to Mr. Motley certain Impertinent Interrogatories
about his alleged misconduct, and forced him to re
sign at once or sacrlllce his self-respect Mr. Motley
returned to the United States Iu the fall of lsii", and
since then has not taken a very active part In public
life. By mauy it waa hoped that President Grant
would call him Into his Cabinet as Secretary of State,
but as this was not thought advisable by tho Presi
dent, the country felt confident that he would be scut
to England as successor to Rcverdy Johnson. His
nomination to this Important position will be re
ceived with satisfaction by the entire people.
The Hon. John Jay,
of New York, who was regarded as a formidable
competitor for the English mission, and who was a
prominent candidate for the mission to Austria when
it was given to Mr. Motley in 1861, now receives this
latter position. He Is a descendant of the celebrated
Chief Justice of the United States In the early days of
the republic, and is regarded as fully competent for
the position to which he has been appointed. He
succeeds the Hon. Henry M. Watts, of. this city,
whose recall is made necessary in order that, while
Pennsylvania receives but one first-class foreign
appointment,
Ex-tJovcrnor Andrew O. Curtin,
of this State, may be sent to St Petersburg, as the
successor of Caaslus M. Clay. Mr. Curtin, as is well
known, waa first elected Governor of Pennsylvania
In I860, bis competitor having been the Hon. Henry
D. Foster, who now contests with John Covode the
right to represent In Congress the Twenty-first
district of this State. Governor Curtlu's majority in
1860 waa over 82,000, and so satisfactory was
his administration of the . affairs . of the
State during the dark days - of tho war
that he was renominated In 1863, and again elected,
over the Hon. George W. Woodward, then Chief
Justice of the State, by a majority of over 15,003, In a
greatly increased vote. Ou the expiration of his
second term he retired to private life, until the Chi
cago Convention of 1868, when he became a formida
ble candidate for the position or Vice-President on
the ticket with General Grant Defeated in this as
piration, bis friends began at onco to press his name
for a Cabiuct position, and by their indiscreet zeal
immediately preceding the Inauguration of President
Grant, not only ensured his defeat for a Cabinet
position, but came near wrecking all his hopes or
any other important position under the new adminis
tration. Governor Curtin is still In tho prime of lire,
and bis friends in all parte of the country will rejoice
to find that Colonel McClnro did not succeed In
crushing out all bis hopes for the future.
Kbenezer I). llowtett, Ksq..,
whom President Grant has nominated as Minister to
Haytl, Is a colored man, and for a number of years
has been the Principal of the Colored High School of
this city. The person whom the President baa thus
selected to represent the claims of tho African cle
ment of our population to diplomatic honors is a gen
tleman and a scholar in every sense of the word. Mr.
Bassett's father was a hard-working farmer ia Con
necticut, in which State he was born. While a youth
he devoted himself to study with great perseverance,
and graduated at the Birmingham Academy and State
Normal School, subsequently attending the classes
aud lectures at Yale College, although he was not
permitted to become a regular student at that Insti
tution. In the year 1861, when Mr. Bassett had just
attained his majority, the Institute for Colored
Youths, or High School, waa established in this city,
and was entrusted to his charge. Since then be has
been at the head of its faculty, and by his manage
ment of its affairs has given unmistakable evidence
of the possession of abilities aud culture of a very
high order.
