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

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.

, Tliu BrolU«i a* enarloa Dickens.
' " [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."

the neighborhood of the station the pursuit cesseff
and when the police were reinforced they again saliled

: potted Defeat of the Beoela.
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

Mr. Price, of lowa, by unanimous consent, Intro
duced a joint resolution in relation to the Rock Island
brid 'e over, the Mississippi. . Ho said it vyss simply
explanatory of the law, and that there was no money
D Mr. Scon eld, of Pennsylvania, said he took issue
teito the gentleman from lowa as to there being no
money In tt There was not only money to it, hot a:
rood ileal of money to it. It was neither more nor less
bun a plan to haild a bridge across toe Mississippi,
self at toe expense pf the United States, and donate
It to a raUfoad company. .
Mr. Price, of Town, remarked that the speech of
Mr. Bcoflehl was a good one If it contained one thine
which it did not contain, and that was a very small
6plce of truth. „
Mr. Scofield rejoined that though toe gentleman
(Mr. Price) had charged him with mtsstittog the
tacts, he had stated none at all, bnt wanted the House
to go it blind.
After some further discussion, from which it ap
peared that the bridge fa question Is to be built at tho
joint expense of the government and of the railroad
company, and that this act Is necessary for toeWsgu
latlon ot right of way, &c., the joint resolutlonlpSßed

IMPEACHMENT.
Mr. Stevens, ot Pennsylvania, asked leave to offer
a resolution tbat the Evidence taken on impeachment
by the Judiciary Committee be referred to toe Com
mittee on lteconstrnctton, and that tbat committee
have leave to report at any time.
Messrs. Bbooes, of New I ork, and Band all, of
Pennsylvania, objected. . .
Mr. Stevens moved to suspend the rules. ■ ■
. Mr. Eldbidoe, of Wisconsin, suggested that there
would he no objection if toe gentleman (Mr. btevens)
would consent that fifty thousand copies of that
testimony be printed for toe nse of the public.
The pnbllc had not had an opportunity of reading that
te jdr! l f£u:viars said be had no objection to that. ,
The ei'BAKXB remarked that all, motions for extra
copies of printed documents mast be referred to
tbeCommlttee on printing, . .... ~
Mr. Eldbidoe went on to say that he thought the
verdict of toe people would have been conclusive on
asked Mr. Bdridge whether he de
slred to offer such a resolution for reference.
’ The Speaker said that, there being no objection,
toe resolution of Mr.Bldridge was referred to the Com
mittee on Printing. .. .. „ c .
Mr. Brooks Bald he would not object to Mr. btevens
resolution, It a resolution would he admitted and
adopted directing toe General of the Army to send a
com of toe President s last letter to him and. The Sec
retary of War. and directing the Secretary of War to
send it to the House. ......
Mr. Stevens said he agreed to that.
There being no objection that resolution was
adopted, and then alt objection having been with
drawn, Mr. Btevens’resolution was adopted. .
• The House then, at a quarter past three o’clock,
went Into Committee of the Whole on the State of
the Union, Mr. Wilson, of lowa, in the thalr, and re
sumed the consideration of toe Legislative, Executive
and Judicial appropriation bill.
, I’BnmnG.
Mr. LiFLiH, of Hew Tort, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Printing, made a statement to the Commit
tee in teference to the expenditures for public print
ing comparing the expenses for the rear 1859-60 and
the tear 1566-7. He found that the cost of printing
for the House of Representatives for theyear 1859-60
was $665,219, and the cost of like.printing 'orthe
Tear 1866-7 was $454,339, showing a diminution in the
latter year of $200,880, and the cost for 1859-00 was on
a gold basis.
In making thiß statement he had not taken into
account the increase growing out of the war, of the
iDtemal revenue or of population. The twentyper
cent, additional was added to the various items for
the compensation of the employes of the Congres
sional Library, of the female employes in the public
printing office, Ac. < . ~
A discussion arose m reference to an appropriation
of $100,900 for payment of judgments which may be
rendered by the Court of Claims. _, ■
Without disposing of the question, the Committee,
at half-past 4 o’clock, rose.
, PERSONAL EXPLANATION. ■
■ Mr. Pile* of Missouri, having got four mmntes for
a personal explanation* referred to Mr. Johnsons
complaint against him on Friday last for objecting to
a resolution offered by Mr. Johnson, - as a burlesque
on common sense. ' , •,
The gentleman (Mr. Johnson) had alluded to the
fact that he (Mr. Pile) was a clergyman before the
war, and a general in the army. That w&b troc. Be
llerlDK la using sufficient means, he had adopted the
prayer of Solomon, namely, “That his enemies would
eo speedily down to the pit,” aid he had become, as
far as his means and opportunities permitted, the
executor of that prayer by sending down Into the pit,
by the use of powder and ball, as many rebels as poe
sfble. - ~, ... ... .
Mr. Johnson, of California, asked one minute to
re &: Wafiibtt.n’e, of Illinois, objected.
Mr Johnson said he wished to announce to the
Bouse that he would take the floor to-morrow
morning.
COntT MARTIAL OP SAWYER.
Tbe Speaker presented a communication from the
Secretary of War, transmittOß the papers in the
court-martial case of Second Engineer Sawyer, tried
at the Portsmouth Navy-yard, for speaking disre
spectfully of the President of the United States, and
suspeuded for one year.
Mr. Schesck, of Ohio, while admitting that disre
spect to a superior officer should bo punishe charac
terized the action of the informer in case as a
poor, mean, dirty, pimping business. ■
Mr. Wasubebne. of Illinois, inquired whether that
court martial was one organized to convict.
Mr. ScnsNcx said if was not. It was composed of
very honorable men, but be was surprised at their
finding. . , ......
Mr. Pbuyn, of New York, said it was not fair to the
Secretary ot ibe Navv, or to the officers of the gov
ernment, to bring in encli papers and make such
statements on such an occasion as this.
Mr. SCuesck said he merely contended that it was a
harsh sentence to be inflicted on an officer for words
spoken In a private conversation, and thabit was con
temptible for the Secretary of the Navy to keep a spy
at the Portsmouth Navy-yard to watch over the con
versation of officers. The testimony would show that
the witnesses in the case had spoken as disrespect
fully of Congress as Mr. Sawyer had done of the
Piesident, and therefore he wanted it printed.
Mr. Ela, of New Hampshire, said he was informed
that the employes Of the Portsmouth Navy-yard had
been discharged becansethey had expressed Republi
can sentiments, and he hoped that all appropriations
for detectives and spies at the navy-yards wonldbe
struck out. _ , ,
Mr Randaia, of Pennsylvania, was glad that the
Republican side of the House had wakened to the
hardshiys which had been inflicted on Democratic
employes all. through Mr. Lincoln's administration.
Mr Washbvuhe, of Illinois, asked Mr. Randall
bow many Republicans bad been tamed out of the
Philadelphia Navy yard last election? . m .
Mr. Rand auk said that none had been. Thata
thousand workmen had been discharged since, and
that now the Republicans and Democrats Were about
half and half. , „ .
Mr. O'Neua, of Pennsylvania, spoke of the best
workmen and most skilled artisaps being turned ont
of employment at the Philadelphia Navy-yard at the
instance of Democratic committees.
Mr. Ranbaia asked him to name any such commit
■ tee.- ; -i-
Mr. O'Neill said lie could not give their names, but
It waaafact.- ' . ‘ _
Mr. Bandaxx said lie could ftire tbe names of Re
publican committees who had bad Democrats turned
out under Mr. Lincoln's administration.
Afterflome further dialogue on this point, in which
Mr. Schenck oa!d he was obliged to the Democrats of
the Philadelphia Navy-y&rd in selecting Mr. Raudril
as a representative, since they must have a Democrat.
The papers In the case of Mr. Bawyer were referred
to the Committee on Naval Affairs and ordered-to be
printed; andthea.at ffve o'clock the Hoase adjourned.
