THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1877.
PflCSIDCXTIAIi.
The two Houses of Congress met in
joint convention in the House of Repre
sentatives on Thursday, the 1st inst., -to
count the electoral vote, according to the
provisions of the recent Compromise hlec
toral r.ct, and counted the votes of
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorada,
Connecticut and Delaware, but when
Florida was reached objections were made
and filed and the case as made up was
handed over to the Electoral College Com-m-ssi.-.n
for judgment and decision. The
case on behalf of the objectors was pre
eented to the Commission for the Demo
crats by Field of New York, and Tucker
of Virginia, and on the part of the Repub
licans by Kasson and MeCrary of Iowa.
AfW tins the cne was arirucd bv the
Democratic and Republican Counsel for
the objectors; on the rait of lilden by
O'Conner. Merrick and Black; on the part
r.f TTnVps bv Kvarts. 31 at thews and
Stouchton. The extent or degree of juris
diction of the commission was the first im
portant question it was called upon to
decide. That is, as to whether evidence
fthnnld be admitted "sroin behind the
Governor's certificate to the electors.
The Commission was in session about
nine hours on Tuesday but adjourned with
out reaching a decision on the points raised
in regard to test in : the Florida vote. The
question was
probably aeciuea yesieruav
but nor c.-irlv enouirh for us to announce. It
is Hirr-osed, however, that the decision will
substantially be that in addition to the
Electoral certificates, no evidence will be
received except such as relates to the action
of the Florida State Government after the
Presidential Election.
rD" Anotlxr instance of the tendency
to intimidate any person who gives evdience
.nainst the Democratic party in Florida
was revealed in the Legislature ot that
Slate lately. Judge Archibald of the Cir
cuit Court", had testified as follows before
1 a'IKl
te iiivestiathvj: committee : ''The
St:,te
;enate stood 12 Republicans to 12
Democrats, and Johnson was selected be
canse his district was a close one, and de
iilerately murdered fur the purpose of giv
ing the Democrats the ascendency in that
branch of the Legislature. The evidence
liiir.st Richard the assassin was clear, con
rooted, and amounted to a certainty of ma
thematical demonstration, and yet the jury
refused to convict him. The moment he
was arrested the whole Democratic bar of
Jacksonville and nearly ever' Democratic
lawyer in the State volunteered their
services in Lis defense, while every effort
was made by the best citizens to throw the
ciaccrs of justice oil" the track and facilitate
the escape of the murderer." On Mon
day this evidence was produced in the Le
gislature as a preamble to the following :
"Therefore, resolved that the Committee
on the Judiciary be and they are hereby
instructed to procure a sworn copy of the
testimony given by said Archibald before
said Committee of the Senate of the United
Siatos, and report to this Assembly on the
iLbility of said Archibald to impeachment
'.n account of said testimony." The resolu-iiv-u
was adopted by a large majority.

Highway Rodbery! Last Saturday
evening, about 9 o'clock, Mr. LTias Werk-

E. Kistler's tannery, at Sciota, thi3 county,
started for his residence a short distance this
side of the tannery, and when opposite the
long stack of bark Mf. W. noticed a man
coming towards him, and as they met, the
scoundrel struck Mr. W. a heavy, blow
bJow the left eye which partially felled
him. Mr. W. immediately recovered from
the effects of the blow and started on a run
when the rascal caught him by the back of
the coat collar aod dealt him two or three
more heavy blows over the top of the head with
a billy, and succeeded in getting him down
and robbed him of all his money about $70

calied loudly for assistance, and his re

persons who happened to be in hailing dis

could be made several of the citizens of
Sciota started in pursuit of the rascal and
tracked him for some distance when they
lost the trail, owing to the darkness of the
night. Diligent search was instituted on
Sunday and Monday, but up to day no arrest
has been made.

giving lectures. Doubtless her experience,
attainment and capacity fully qualify her to
excel as a lecturer. Mrs. S. has had a long
experience on the stage, and from a multi

pleasure of looking over, she must be ranked
as a number one aet.ress. The lecture
which she contemplates giving is entitled
4 'The Church and the Theatre." The sub

will undoubtedly do it justice. We learn
that Mrs. S. will eiiter the field as a lecturer

LATION ,90,000.
From the Scranlon (Penn.) Republican, Feb. 3
The news of Nathan L. Lenheim's enor
mous defalcations fell upon our neighbors
of Montrose. Susquehanna County, the
other'day, like a clap of thunder from a
clear sky. lie was a young man who moved
in the best society in the place, apparently
a devoted member of a Church, beloved and
esteemed by all who knew him, the Cashier
of a bank in which the wealthiest men of
the town were interested, besides being
well-to-do himself all this at the age of
24. "With such brilliant prospects before
him he dashed them all to the ground in a
single day, confounded the community in
which he lived, and left the people of the
place almost panic-stricken.
But a few days since he left Montrose
without stating a word of his affairs to any
one, and a week ago to-day he was arrested
ia New-York for presenting a forged note
for the sum of 810,000, to be discounted
at. the Importer's and Traders' Bank in that
City. The forged note was alleged to have
ben drawn by B. T. Stevens, and indorsed
by Mr. S. Kessler, of Easton. who is known
to be worth at least SI, 000,000. For
tunately, however, the bold trick was de
tected, and the former taken in charge by
the authorities. The receipt of the Ftirt-
ling news completely shocked the people of
Montrnsp, and especially the stockholders
of the First National Bank, of which Mr
Lenheim was Cashier. Accordinly an in
vestigation was made, and it was discovered
that his bank defalcations reached the enor
mous sum of 00.000 of money he had
squandered in various ways. All efforts
to ascertain how he had invested this plun
der, or into what channels he could have
directed it, have so far proved fruitless, and
this portion ff the transaction must remain
a mystery until the dark sequel of the bold
crime is revealed. Of this amount 820,000
had been forged on the bank, and the rest
w is taken in various ways, for Mr. Lenheim
had full control to discount notes and trans
act other business of the bank at will, and
apparently without consulting any of the
officers of the institution.
We have ascertained, however, that the
defaulting Cashier's bond is good for the
greater part of the money stolen, and that
the most the bank will lose will be about
S24,000. The confidence of the people in
its stability is still unshaken, and up to
Thursday noon there was double the amount
of money deposited that was drawn out.
On Wednesday last the bank was closed
for an investigation, and for the adjustment
of matters that had been deranged by the
sudden disappearance of the Cashier, but
it was opened yesterday, transacting busi
ness as usual. The stockholders have given
their note for 810,000 to replenish the de
pleted treasury and meet present emergen
cies. Thev are all men of sound financial
standing and no extraordinary run is anti- j
cipated. In ftet. one party, to show his i
faith in the stable character of the concern, .
deposited .$", 0 1 in it on Tuesday, and
others hve trsti!ied their confidence in it
in a similar substantial manner. The liabili -
ties are sccu red by sound notes, and no
such thins as a failure is expected.
The First National Bank of Montrose
came into existence about two years ago,
and evr since its inception Mr. Nathan L.
Lenheim, the former, has been Us Cashier.
t tho c-losrt i f th" first year's business Mr.
D. D. Searle, th ! Vice President, expressed
a good deal of dissatisfaction over the fact
that the Original plan of referring all loans
to a committee before beinz negotiated wa.i
not carried out, and that Mr. Lenheim was
negotiating paper without the instructions
of any one. This gave rise to such a state
of feelimr that Mr. Searle said he would
i-iilr hi to,-L- nr hnv nut. Mr.
Lenheim's. The consequence was that Mr.
, . ,. -i-r,n,-4 .i r
Searle sold out his sh, )00 worth for a
margin cl 20 per cent, and retired lrom the
bank, receiving :,000 in cash, and the
stock f which he still holds) as security,
Mr. George V. Bentlv was chosen Vice
President in bis stead, and Mr. William J.
Turrell is President. The First National
is the only national bank in town. There
is another banking house there, that of
William H. Cooper Sc Co., which has been
in existence for 20 years, and is above re
proach. New York, February 5. N. L.
Lenheim. cashier of the First National
Bank, of Montrose, Pennsylvania, who is
detained on two charges, was brought up
at the Toombs to-day and stated that he
intended to waive further examination.
Complainant, A. Lathrop, alleges that
Lenheim forged his signature to a promis
sory note on the First National Bank of
New York, at four months, for $3,f00,
while he was a depositor in the First Na
Bank of Montrose. Bail was fixed at $10.
000. The prisoner was also held in $5,000
bail to await a requisition from the Gover
nor of Pennsylvania, on a charge of misap
propriation of 800,000 of the Montrose
Bank's funds.

ing of the stockholders was held on Wednes
day, at which a sufficient amount of a new
