CONNECTICUT.
Two Opinion upon the Great Republican
Victory,
From the V. Y. Tribune.
Though the returns are not complete as we
write, the gain of more than one thousand on
the vote of last year Dearly or quite Insures the
election of Marshall Jewell ns Governor, with
all his colleagues on the Republican Stale ticket,
Governor English being the strongest man of
bis party and running generally ahead of other
candidates.
We have every reason to believe that Messrs.
Strong and Starkweather are re-elected to Con
gress, and a report adds Mr. Kellogg also, but
we cannot believe that on anything short of full,
precise returns. We have no doubt that the
Legislature is again Republican in both
branches, and probably by an increase on last
year's meagre majorities.
The vote is some thousands, heavier than last
year In fact, very full, considering that the
day was in good part rainy and the roads in
wretched condition. Hartford, New Haven,
New Britain, Stamford, and Norwalk are among
the towns which have done nobly.
Connecticut has often deserved the grateful
blessing of the Republicans of her sister States,
bnt she never did so well under circumstances
so embarrassing and disheartening as yesterday.
The Sumner quarrel, the clamor against the Pre
sident with regard to Santo Domingo, the New
Hampshire suprise, and a hundred other make
weights, operated to discourage and paralyze her
working Republicans, while inducing the weak
brethren to get out of sight aud stay there.
Tammany Hall bought a seat in her Seuate
for one of its tools last year, and poured out
money like water to do it again this year. Its
organs scouted the suggestion that Jewell was
running in earnest, insisting that English's elec
tion, with that of three if not all four Con
gressmen of liko pattern, was a fixed fact, which
no one seilously disputed. If, against all these
odds, the Republicans had simply tied the
State, which gave English 17tU majority In the
spring of 18C8, they would have exceeded all
reasonable expectation. All hail! gallant, glo
rious Connecticut!
From the N. Y. World.
There was a large vote polled, and the result
on Governor is in doubt. The majority is not
likely to be over 1U0 either way, and the official
count may have to decide. The heavy Republi
can gains in New Haven aud Hartford had the
effect of changing the result which was antici
pated from the general canvass of the State.
It is evident that a swarm of radical repeaters
were imported into both of those cities, and that
they were used to cut down the rightful Demo
cratic majorities The radical leaders managed
their part of the campaign with more dexterity
than honesty. They thrust the national issues,
the Santo Domingo job, and the Sumner rebel
lion, about which there was so much dissatisfac
tion in their ranks, into the background, and
rallied their party on a bugaboo aout the flood
ing of the State with money from Tammany.
It is clear cow that this pretense was devised
for the purpose of covering their own intended
frauds. Another circumstance must be con
sidered in connection with the result. It will
take another day before the definite result in
Connecticut can be announced.
DAYLIGHT ROBBERS.
Attempt to Rob the Ceutral
Bank The Teller Bound
Escape of the Thieves.
Park Saving
and Gagged
Three men entered the Central Park Savings
Bank, at No. 724 Third avenue, near Forty-sixth
street, about 11-80 o'clock yesterday morning. One
of them locked the street door. The other two
leaped over the counter, and while one secured a
pistol kept within the reach of Anthony Ellison,
the teller of the banK, the other seized
Mr. Ellison, and with the aid of his companion,
threw him to the floor aud securely bound and
tagged him. fc is hands were tied Behind him, and
a noftion ot the handkerchief which was used as
gap also coverea his face, and prevented hm from
aeelun his assailants. Mr KlUson la nearly 70, aud
was therefore unable to cope with hi antagoiists;
and the attack was so unexpected that he had not
nretence of intnd to give an alarm
Before the thieves had time to examine the place
and ascertain what Dl under could be secured. Dr,
Janies liadden came to the bank and attempted to
etter. Finding the door locked he kicked la one of
the large plate-glass windows, and entering found
Mr. Elllsou ivlng on tne noor, and ine gang sur
rounding him. On feeing Dr. liadden the thieves
fled through the rear door Into tbe yard, scaled the
fence, and rtn into Forty-sixth street. Tnere a
confederate was watting with a horse and light
wagon. Into this they leaped, and were driven
ranidlv awav.
Near Fourth avenue their wagon was stuck in the
mud. and they abandoned it and escaped. The
horse and wagon were secured by the police. Tha
horse is a handsome bay, aud was evidently selected
lor his speed. The wagon is men as is used by
erorers and plumbers, aud has no name on it.
Mr. Ellison can give only a general description of
tte men, and it is, accordingly, uouwui u ns cau
recognise any of them. He was yesterday in a
very nervous condition. Ill face was scratched.
and he had received a slight scalp wound. Tha
thieves, so far as can be ascertained, secured be
tween 00 and i00, taken in daring the morning,
It is conjectured that they expected to obtain a
much larger amount, thinking that the safe would
be open during business hours.
Avtaror two aero an attempt was made to rob
the bank when It was situated further up the avenue.
The thieves knocked down the clerk In attendance,
and were B'izliig the money and securities, when
they were interrupted by the entrance of a customer
and fled, dropping a package of bonds In their flight.
One of these was arreBted and sentenced for a term
of veara In 81ns Slue.
This latest attempt is one of the boldest of the kind
for several years past,, l ne bans: is in a illicitly
norulated neighborhood, with stores on ether side,
flad an alarm leen given by the teller, a rowd could
have surrounded the building almost immediately,
and it would have been exceedingly uiOlcult for the
thieve to have made their escarp.
Undoubtedly tie thieves had made themselves
acquainted w ith the lnu-rlor of the bank, and the
mainer In which the business was conducted. The
fact that (one of (hem at once secured the pistol
showed that they had learned where It was kept.

la rpnnrtjd to Iirvm linen killed In the fight before
Mont Valerlen ymterday. Floureus was the son of
a resectable )ut somewhat eccentric father, Marie

pliytiologlat and the wriur of a number of rather
remarkable scientific works. The younger Flou

coadjutor In the editlug of the Lan

be particularly distinguished himself after Victor
Nolr'a funeral by firing his pistol over his hed and
declaring himself to be "In a state of insurrection."
ho far as we are aware this was the chief eveut of
M. Klourens' career, for during the war which has
just cluaed, he, like many of his associates, failed to
make any dlstluguiahed reputation as a hero
As was to be expected, he was
prt'iDlncnt among the Communist revolutionists
who commenced to Inaugurate a new Reign of
Terror In 1'arl as soon a the backs of the Uermaus
were turned ; and if he has fallen a victim to his
fiecullarly l'srlolan ideas of the nature of true
ir-erty It is a satisfaction to know that his loss will
not be' likely to cause any additional grief to the
sensible portion Of the French people.

A United State Army Officer I.ne a Large
Amount of Government Fuudi,
The Chicago liepublican of Friday lat says:
First Lieutenant D. U. Fen no, of the 17th Infan
try, United 8tates army, and Acting Post Com
missary at Grand River agency, Dakotah Terri
tory, with his wife and sister, arrived on Mon
day in this city and engaged rooms at the Sher
man. After partaking of his dinner, Fenno re
quested a blank check, and filling It oat for
(500, asked the clerk to send it to the deposi
tary for collection. The clerk did a requested,
and the messenger soon returned with the check
and a note requesting the Lieutenant to call at
the depositary. Fenno did so at once, and
found that his neglect to present In person his
check and authority for drawing It was the rea
son payment was refused Settling the prelimi
naries to the satisfaction of the cashier, he re
ceived the $500 and departed.
About 8 o'clock on the fame evening he
visited a bouee on Randolph street to try his
luck at cards. He was in a highly intoxicated
condition.
Ho sat down at the dealing table and invested
a ten-dollar greenback; he won. Again and
again did the X go in and yield a rich harvest.
He won upward of $150, and then hH luck
changed. He came out loser la several deals,
and his pile was reduced to 00.
On the following morning (Wednesday) his
sister departed for homo, and her bill was
charged up to ber brother's account. It would
appear that Fenno remembered his previous
night's debauch, for, with an evident iutention
to win back all he had lost at the Dearborn
street establishment, be revisited that place
shortly after dinner, having several hundred
dollars in bis possession.
He was perfectly sober at the tune, and drank
but sparingly during the entire afternoon. His
first venture was $10: be won. and next time
lost. In a few moments his losses amounted to
upwards of $100. He then doubled the stake,
and the same luck attended him. He would win
occasionally, but not often. In an hour he had
lost all the ready money he had with him, $160.
Calling for a blank check be filled it out for
$1000 on the United States Depositary. This
check was given to an attendant, who shortly
afterwards returned with the money.
Fenno now went la with "big' money a
high as $300 on a deal. His losses continued.
and by 4 o'clock every dollar of the $1000 was
lost.
Becoming desperate, Fenno finally filled out a
check on the depositary for $'2000, aud being
too late to draw it then, it was taken for its
full value by the dealer, who was satisfied of its
worth by Fenno'e statement of the position he
held. At 7 o'clock Fenno aroe from the table
without a dollar, the loser of $3l(0.
iMaior-ueneral Hartsult, commandant of the
department in General Sheridan's absence, sent
for Fenno yesterday morn'.ug, and ordered ulna
to immediately report himself under arrest to
the commanding uenerai at St. t'aul, Minn..
that being the headquarters of his department.
lie stated his family to be wealthy and pro
minent persons in Wheeling. Va., and that they
would help him out ot his present diliiculues.
All the money he lost was Government funds.
but as he was obliged to give bonds when ap
pointed a commissary, the Government will pro
bably not suiter oy nis aisnonesty.
About 5 oclock yesterday afternoon, Mrs.
Fenno called at the gambling house, and with
tears in ner eyes requested money enough to
enable her and her miserable husband to leave
the city, stating that they bad not a dollar. She
was given $100, with which Fenno shortly after
paid bis hotel bill. Tbev left on the 8 o'clock
train via tne Chicago, Burlington, aua uuincy
road.
Mrs. Fenno is a most refined and cultivated
lady, a daughter of a prominent man in Penn
sylvania, and one who has always been sur
rounded with all the (accessories of wealth and
position. The dreadful course of her husband
must cause ber to sutler nntold misery, enno
is a very ordinary-appearing man, but said to
be very nigmy connected.
THE GREAT PAY-DAY.
Pursuit of the Needful How the Pennsyl
vania Yeomanry I.Ike to Handle Their
Greenbacks.
The Lancaster Express of the 1st inst. says:
We doubt if on any 1st of April within the
past half dozen years there were more of our
country friends in than to-day. And all who
are here have come on business to bow at the
shrine of mighty Mammon and not on an ex
cursion of pleasure. The day is one peculiar to
Lancaster county the great pay-day. the set
tling of accounts of the entire year. If a farm
is sold, or stock, or, in fact, almost nnything or
over a few hundred dollars in value, a note is
usually given, payable on the 1st of April. No
other day eeems to suit, and few of
our country friends will meet their pecuniary
engagements on any other. Hence the
banks nave maae aaaiuonai arrangements to
accommodate their customers, there is one
feature which would strike the business people
of our larger cities as somewhat novel. Little,
if any, money changes hands through the me
dium of checks, but the money is drawn from
the bank by the depositor ana paid over in casu.
Our country friends like to handle the crisp
greenbacks, count them over, and probably de
posit them an hour after in the same bank from
which they were drawn. This subjects our
bankers to much inconvenience. They are com
pelled to call on the Philadelphia and New York
banks and borrow for three or four days mny
thousands of dollars, which are returned as
soon as the bie day is over. Before the bank
opens In the morning it may have la its vaults
and drawers from one hundred thousand to four
hundred thousaud dollars. By midday most of
this Is drawn out, but by evening again the
money finds its way buck to the bank, and so,
alter changing bands probably a dozen lime), it
Is nearly all ju6t where it started from, by the
checking plan much trouble would thus be
avoided. But, as we have said, our country
friends have a weakness for gazing upon the
color of their money, aud being sure that it is
all rlnht. return home oouteuted. It would be
hard to estimate the amount of money wnicu
changed hands to day. but it must run up to
many thousands of dollars.
THEATRE BURNED.
Destruction of tlie Troy Opera Ilonse.
The Albauvotrai of April 1 says: Between
one aud two o clock this morning names were
discovered Issuing from the rear wiudows of the
Onera House, on 1 bird street, lroy. ana in a
short time the building was entirely destroyed.
Before the firemen could arrive the iullamtnaole
material which constitutes the scouery aud stage
machinery had conducted the fire to the entire
rear half of the large building, aud before any
considerable amount of water could be thrown
the w tola inside was a mass of flames. The
Opera House was entirely gutted from the roof
to the lower floor, and nothing now remilua of
this well-known building but the four charred
walls. The loss of Mr. Van Arnum, the propria
tor of the Opera House, and the building ad
joining on the south, is estimated at about
$50,000; insured at between 12. 000 and 14.000.
At three o'clock the portion of the north side
wall of the Opera House fell, striking the rear
portion of Colonel Steenberg's building, dainag
leg it to the extent of about 1 0.000, for which
the colonel is insured for tri500. The theatre
Las been occupied this week by J. C. Campbell
and troupe, who has been presenting the drama
of J'omp, under the management of Messrs.
Mitchell A Wilton. The management and troupe
had considerable wardrobe, etc., in the theatre,
w hich has been entirely consumed. The fire is
believed to have originated among the "iii.es"
above the stage.

sand Nationals, in three corps, with, two hundred
guns, marched via Montrouge, Issy, and Reuil,
all destined for Versailles. Fort Yalerien fired

were surrounded; another says they effected a
junction and turned Meudon, where a majority
of the Versailles army was concentrated,
During the operations on the right there was
A Fierce Engagement

says:
The Zouaves Repulsed the Nationals
in the attack on Castle Meudon, and the Na
t local loss was heavy.
Another Version The movement Said to
he a Success.
Colonel Bourgoln telegraphs to the Commune
at 11J in the morning that Bergerot and
Flourens formed a junction and marched on
Versailles, and that success was certain.
Another despatch says at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon Duval and Flourens formed a junction
at Courbevoie. They were canonaded by Vale'
rien, but the men were sheltered. A successful
movement was made by which they passed the
line and marched on Versailles. Bergerot had
two Lorses killed.

FROM EUROPE.
The Attack of the Nationals on the Gov
ernment Forces.
London, April 4. Advices from Paris to-day
state that the attack of the Nationals on the
Government forces has been well sustained. A
powerful artillery attack was made on the left
of the Bois de Meudon, which succeeded for a
short time in silencing the Government guns.
The Excitement in the City
is intense, consequent on the determination of
the insurgents and the presence of so large a
body of revolutionists in Paris.
General MacMahon
has taken command of the Government army,
and has initiated effective measures for the sup
pression of the insurgents.
General Bergerot
and his column of 10,000 men are still cut off
by tne neavy guns or .nont valerien, and no
relief can reach them.
The Loss
consequent upon the attack by the forts upon
the insurgents has not been exaggerated. The
number of killed is enormous, and the excite
ment in the neighborhood of St. Denis has
greatly increased.
The Difficulty of Suppressing the Insur
rectionists
increases every hour.
FROM WASHING TO JV.
(The Connecticut Victory.
BpteiaX Desvatd to The Kventng Telegraph.
Washinotoh, April 4. President Grant and
his friends in both houses of Congress are jubi
lant over the result in Connecticut: The Demo
crats are not only despoadent but are greatly
disappointed at the result in that State. They
were assured that English would certainly carry
the State by an Increased majority over the vote
of last year. Governor Jewell telegraphed here
to the Vice-President that the defeat In New
Hampshire was of great benefit to the Republi
cans, as it aroused them to action and brought
out a full vote.
Blair Resumed Ills Speech
immediately after reading the journal. In reply
to an inquiry of Senator Sherman whether he
favored taking the right of suffrage from the
negroe, he stated that he was for giving the
matter a fair test. He said there were grave
doubts in the minds of many on the subject.
General SchencU
was at the Capitol to-day, la conference with
the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. It
is understood that he desires to get the views of
the committee as to the terms they would be
willing to accept on the
Fishery Question.
The American members of the commission are
anxious to pursue such a course as will meet
with the approval of the Senate.
As the debate in the House on
The;Ku-klni Bill
progresses, there is considerable opposition to
the stringent features of it developed among
Republicans. General Garfield made a speech
to-day against it, and it is understood his views
are shared by several prominent Republicans.
General Butler will reply to Garfield.
