From the Cleveland Leader ol the bw ■we extract the following account of the diamond robbery, of which the telegraph gave us brief information on Saterday: .... One of the liveliest sensations which has ‘taken place in pur city for many a day was r&iiaed last evening.by an attempted heavy robbery, 'Wbich for boldness and audacity is rarely surpassed in the annals of “cracksmen. At half-past six o’clock a welhdressed stranger entered the jeweiry store of Mossrs. Hogan & Wade, at the comer of Superior aha Seneca streets. He a9ked to be shown some diamond rings, and air. Hogan, with his usual courteous suavity, took from the show casd upon die counter a tray containing fifty-six diamond nngs, the prices of which ranged from sr.« to sOfiO each. The stranger carefully examined some of the more costly ones, the proprietor meanwhile descanting upon_ their many virtues of beauty, purity and value. 1* or about five minutes the customers eyes gloated over the gorgeous display ofdiamonds Before him. Watching his opportunity lie suddenly seized the tray containing the dta mondsjiand with the rapidity of lightning darted for the door, which was about twenty feet from where they were standing. But one person was in the room besides Mr. Hogan and his unprofitable customer —an employe who was sitting near the rear end of the store. . ' - Mr. Hogan gave utterance to a shout or alarm, and at the same time sprang over the counter. (Upon hearing the shout of Mr. Hogan,the young man at the rear of the store seized a revolver which lay near by, and rushed valiantly to the “front,” ready to do ud any slaughtering which the exigencies of the case might require. The robber suc ceeded in getting out of the door, Mr. Hogan and his assistant being close at his heels, shouting “Thief” with that vehemence which the occasion demanded. Near the pavement, just around the corner, stood a horse at,cl carriage, in which was the > rntitipr’s confederate.

Murder at Platte Merchant. Snoots Charles Jtt. Uoya, a lawyer, on Saturday Evcmn*. [From the Leavenworth Bulletin, Feb. 3.] ■ _ The people of Platte City .were thrown into a Btate of excitement on Saturday evening, between the hoars of .9 and 10 o'clock, -by the report that h man had been fatally shot at Boyd’s store. The peopleof that God-fear ing and order-loving city quickly, gathered themselves together, completely ifllUng the street in the vicinity of Boyd’s store, an anxious, excited multitude. ■ Various rumors are afloat as to the cause ot the shooting. After hearing these various reports, and weighing thfem carefully, the loi lowing, we think, will prove to lie substan tially correct: , : ',-v Mr. Boyd, merchant, has been doing busl : ness in Platte City tor some time, and bears a fair reputation. Mr. Charles .M. Boyd, the man shot, was a lawyer by profession, and had also been a resident of that city for some time. These gentlemen, though of the same name, bore no relation to each other. . The lawyer’s ofilce was over the merchant s store, and the two had been in the habit ot rooming together. ' : Some little time since, the merchant Boyd discharged; two clerks from his employ, be having suspicioned that either these clerks or some other person or persons had been taking goods from Jiis store, tor which they had forgotten to leave their equi valent in greenbacks. „ On Saturday evening, Mr. Boyd, the mer chant, and his one clerk, were up in the law yer Boyd’s ofliee, at which time the merchant remarked that he was* going to St. Joe to spend the night. Instead of . going to that place, he went down into his store, arranged a bed on the counter, and laid himself do wn. This undoubtedly was a plan of the merchant to discover the person or persons who had been robbing him, thinking that by giving out that he was going to be absent from the store for the night, those who had been taking goods from him would improve the occasion. . , ~ About half-past nine some one came to the front door, opened it with a key mid entered, whereupon the merchant immediately, raised a double-barreled shot gun, which was lying ■ by his side, and fired. ' The person entering immediately retreated up stairs, but in a few minutes returned, the merchant lmng the contents of the second barrel at him, which lodged in the door. Almost instan taneously after the second shot was fired, the person shot at fell, backwards_to_ the sidewalk and expired, after exclaiming, “Mac! Oh, Mac!’ (the name of the clerk ) The merchant immediately went out and informed the people of What had trans pired. Upon an examination of the body, it proved to be that of Mr. Charles M. Boyd. At the time of shooting it Was dark m the store, as well as out-doors, but whether the merchant knew at whom he was shooting is unknown. . ~1..... .a 3l r . Charles hi. Boyd, the deceased, is con nected with some of the first families in this city, and his untimely death will be mourned by a large oirclc of friends. JHYNtcrious Disappearance ol a talic in’mciiißun. A correspondent of the Cold water (Mich.) Gazette gives some particulars connected with the. disappearance of the water Troop Ottawa LaUe, in Monroe county, Mich. 1 : For some dayß past Ottawa Lake has pre sented a very exciting scene. The occasion was this: Those living near the lake observed for some days previous that the, ice oh the lake was falling: boon they discoverod-thatthe fish were crowding to the holes in .'

' " [Prom the Chicago Tribune.) In one of his talcs, or perhaps one of his letters, Mr. Dickers told :.lus { Wfiem how ho c&metowear filename ot Boz. jDearß that “a younger and favonte brother. • was, for some family reason, nicknamed “Mose,” and that, another member.havmg h very bad cold on one .occasion, m attempted to call “Mose,” rendered the term l>oz-| Thereafter <‘Boz” became a familiar namoin the Dickenß family, and, Charles adopted it aa hla own title. Some fifteen years ago, this younger and favorite brother came to Chicago b reaide. He entered the office ot the Illinois' Central Railroad Company, and as long aShealth continued hie family lived coinfortably; but sickness came, and with it pernfiy and trouble. Some two years ago Mr. Augustus N. Dickens died, leaving his ; widow and her large family unprovided for, strangers in a strange land- „ One of the principal reasons for Mr. Diefc ens’s efaming b the’United States, we are as ' sured, was to visit the grave of his brother, -and to comfort the heart of the widow and her orphans with the sympathetic offerings ot a brother’s heart. Those who see Mr. Dick ens merely on the platform, and know of him only as the recipient of thousands of dollars for each evening’s performance, scarcely ima glne that while »o Is before them, the delinea tor of tbo joys and sorrows of his o wn. crea tioii,his thoughts are far away upon the shores of Lake Michigan, where lies the unmaxked, graveof the playmate of his early days. While hfi reads to his audiences in Boston,New Aprs and elsewhere the story of the Nlddeby family, it is impossible to suppose that, fise Ralph of that name, he would forget .the widow of his brother, whose young would have been suffering ere this for want of food, but for the charity of Mr. Augustus ' Dickens’ American friends. The late of fatherless children has been delineated by Mr. Dickenß too Often and too graphtcaUy to be forgotten by himself. The school at “Dothe boys Hall” was made up of that class of pu pils. Does ariy one suppose that the author could leave the Children of his brother to the probable chances' of; such a life sb that of ‘‘Smike?” Surely Mr. Dickens must intend to visit Chicago. POLITICAL,. Mow FeunnivanlawlM Carried toy tlie Democracy* A correspondent of the Pittsburgh Gazdtc thus sums up the rascalities which have been perpe trated in Pennsylvania: ■ .. “The developments in the contested election case before the Senate Committee grow richer and richer day by day. This afternoon the D i mocraticProthonotary of Luzerne county was hefol-c the Committee. It seems that swty men voted at one of tlie districts in Clearfield County last fall, on naturalization ccrtth cates purporting to have been issued by the Court of Luzerno county on the oi September, 1866, ' and the names ot these 60 voters being shown to the Prothonotary, and compared with his naturalization record of that date, he testified that not one of these men, or men with these names, were naturalized in that court at that time. Being, shown one of the naturalization certificates, bo. testified that the printed part was similar to the genuine blanks used by him, and that the seal on it.looked.like the Impression of the genuine seal; but that the signature was not his. nor was the filling up in the handwriting of himself or any of his clerks. Evidence, it is said, will ( be presented to show that the fraudulent ccrtifieates were issued in that county by the thousands, that at least 3 600 of them were voted on in that county in i 1866. and that they were sold openly in Scranton ■ and IVUkcsbafrc for $1 75 each. It has been ! Generally heretofore that these fraudu i tent certificates were scaled with an old seal 1 thrown out of use in that county, and not with i the new and genuine seal of that county,made to ! thko its'place; butlhc evidence of this I rothono- | i tan- went to show that this now seal was left in the Prothonotary’s office in a cupboard with j nothing but a common lock on the doors; and as the impression of.the seal on the fraudulent pa per shown him was, in his opinion, that ot the i/eimint seal, we are shut up to the conclusUm that the scoundrels who perpetrated these frauds, aware of the fact that their use of the old seal had been detected, surreptitiously obtained the cew one* and have used it o.d libitum. Tmins ! can he little doubt that the Statehas been flooded with these fraudulent papors. Two Democratic State Senators were elected with them la6t 1 all. Judge Sharswood was elected by them. And they intend to carry the State next Fall with them, if their schemes are not counteracted. It is impossible, yet, to determine the full extent of this fraud; hut what we already know, and what is reported as being capable of proof, is enough to make every honest man stand aghast, and almost despair of the possibility of maintaining a republican government."

Cop.k, February 10. —Lastflight a squad of police men who were patrollng the city were confronted by a crowd of men In the street, who commenced an at atiack upon them with dubs and stonesi. The po licemen being grcally outnumbered, fell back to the nearest station. They were chased some distance by the mob, several of whom, during the flight of the (Hjltce, fired upon them with firearms. None of the latter, however, were hurt. As soon as they reached the neighborhood of the station the pursuit cesseff and when the police were reinforced they again saliled out, hut the crowd had dispersed. As the uight was dark and thick, none of the attacking party could be distinctly seen or recognized, and though the officers are actively searching for snspeotod ringleaders, they have hot yet been #Me*to effect any arrests.

London, February 30.—Dispatches from China with, new* to latest dates have been received. Mr. Burlingame had left Pekin on hls mission for the Em peror of i China, and had arrived at 1 Bhanghae, whence he was to proceed direct to the United States. ■ A shock of an earthquake had been felt at Bhanghae and Ntoghoo and to the surrounding districts. No destruction of property or loss of life is reported. The oscillations were not violent, bat of unusual occur rence, an tr caused great consternation among the Chinese, and wherever the phenomena were felt the wildest panic prevailed. Intelligence tn regard to the rebellion in the North of China is not very definite. The Imperialists re port that battles have taken place since the conflict a* Bhlntlng, and they da(m that the rebels have been de feated In all these latter encounters, and that the Imperial armies are rapidly gaining ground they had lost. KJLtb SESSION. Close ok yf.sterdat's proceedings. Senate* The Benatd then took up the supplementary recon strnetton bill. . ■ . * r , Mr. Harman, of lona, addressed the Senate. He said if tbs existing State governments of the South were legal and in harmony.wlth the Constitution, Con gress bad no authority over their local affairs, any more than over those of other States. Be pointed out that Senators on the other side, and even de partment of government,; including the judiciary quoting the opinion of Chief Justice Chase In regard to North Carolina—had held that these governments were void for Illegality. ■ 1 ~ [ , , The illegality of those States consisted In the refusal of the government to recognize them, and could be removed by the action or the government Nothing In the local Btate laws nor in the United States laws authorized the Initiation of those governments: nor in the Constitution of too United States, unless found to the clause authorizing Congress to declare a gov ernment republican to form. , . . . 1 He maintained that tne act of an inchoate State can be legalized only by the national government, instanc ing the case of too Territorial applying tor admission asStates by the action of President Lincoln, taangit rattog President Johnson’s policy. He knew person ally that the paper referred to, proposing that policy, _ was not in Mr. Lincoln's handwriting, as claimed by tbat Senator. The Secretary of War had said to his testimony before the Reconstruction Committee that he assumed toe anthorehlp of the proposition. He read from the report of toe Beconstruction Com mittee to regard to the disloyal condition of the Southern States, and the probability that they would. elect Senators and Bepresentatives who bad been ac tive participante to the war, and if they could they would repudiate the national debt; and expressing the opinion they should not be admitted without proper guarantees. That report was signed by g jury of most experienced and distinguished statesmen, and formed the reason why Congress should not recognize these Illegal organizations. That oath, then, was not s bars rier to admission. Ho referred also to the ease of Mr. Thomas, of Maryland, who he said had doubtless sym pathized with too rebellion. The data that the oath should be left to the conscience of members elect, he lllnstrsted by the action of Senator Johnson toad vising tost returned rebel soldiers conld take toe oath, because the law was unconstitutional, so as to overturn the Union policy of the State of Maryland at the State election, and that bad been toe result The same opin ion was held by many in regard to toe law prescribing this oath. He then allnded to the case of Senator Pat terson, who, be said, could not subscribe trnthfnlly to the technical words of toe oath, though be tapnted no improper motive to him to taking 1L The Judiciary Committee reported a joint resolution repealing that law tn hls favor, which was non-concurred to by the Bonee, and be had been called upon to decide for him self, and concluded to take toe oath. Mr. Pattbbson rose to correct the statement, and said toe Judiciary Committee had reported to favor of allowing blm totake the oath. The Chairman, how ever, submitted a resolution to modifv the oath, so far as he was concerned, and that had been non-con curred in by the House, and said he took toe oato' Ad should do it again. I could do tt every day. Mr. Harlan continued, saying he supposed the Senator had taken the oath on the theory that “while the letter kllleth the spirit rhaketh alive.” Mr. Hesdbtcks said he had always asserted that while that law was on the statute book he would not vote to allow any man to take hls seat, if in taking the oath he had to s.ear falsely. - , Mr. Baklan asked if the Senator had not declared the law unconstitutional , , Mr. Hendbicks replied that he was not in the Sen ate when toe bill passed, but on the question of the admissioi of Senator Bayard, of Delaware, he had ex pressed toe Opinion that Congress could add no quali fication to thoso required of a Senator by the Consti tution, Mr. Baklan’ then .pointed to the inconsistency ot setting that oath up as a barrier, when current history showed from the action of Maryland what would be toe result. He proceeded to say that no case yet cited proved that Congress had exceeded its constitutional au thority. Be quoted several decisions on the point, and said that Senators who charged that these Hws were unconstitutional, a charge that If made elsewhere he would proneunce a brazen "falsehood, knew that this bad been decided to be constitutional. The dogma set forth to the Dred Scott decision of toe Supreme Court had been set aside by toe action of the freemen of the country, and If the Supreme Court should in the future pronounce the reconstruction laws uneon* stitational, that decision would at some time meet the same fate. He read the figures of the recent elections and said the last expression of the popular j ury had pronounced upon the conduct of Congress by upwards of 331,000 majority, though it was tree that the local Issues hadmade that majorityless than former ones. Why ctd not the Senators join to that recently ex pr> seed opinion of the people as to the constitution ality of toe action of Corigressi Mr. Tipton, of Nebraakn, next took the floor, and read an argument to favor of the bill. He rocited the circumstances attending toe admission 1 of his State (Nebraska), and claimed that the people of the South at the close of the war were In the same condition as were the people of that State before Its admission. The colored men, many of them descendants of the most enlightened aristocratic families of the South, needed no endorsement for their loyalty and faithful ness. They had sufficiently demonstrated their loyalty, during the war. He replied to the various points of Senator Doolittle's speech, denying toe charge that Congress was establishing negro su premacy through disfranchising the whites, and quoted judicial decisions to prove that Congress alone had power over reconstruction Ho argued at length in favor of toe justice and wisdom of toe measures of Congress. .1 At the conclusion of Mr. Tipton's remarks, Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, secured the floor, bnt, on motion of Mr. Bhmuian, the. (Senate went into Executive session, and after a short time adjourned. House of Bepnseniatlvei, Mr. Dobnem.t, of Minnesota, offered a resolution directing.the Secretary of State to furnish copies of correspondence, official records, «fcc., relating to the imprisonment of Antonio Pelletier,, a United States citisan, and the confiscation and.destructionof his property by,the people and officials of the Republic of Haytl.
